ATL - Oladipo is Really Good (and Bledsoe dominant again)

[Wooderson]

Iggy Pop a Shot

Lol then they get out of prison.

Kind of wish they'd lost, they need to learn from that garbage, still awesome from Iggy.

[bizarro]

What a finish! HA! Heartbreak for OKC. Golden State wins despite their ridiculous offensive scheme in the closing minutes. Was it really hard to use Bogut and Lee to open up Curry for passing lanes to Klay and Iguadola on the post? I mean, really?

[blazza18]

Lol GS got exactly what they deserved.

Idiotic coaching and moronic play from Lee in particular. Easily the stupidest quarter I've seen a team play this season.

Jackson always makes stupid decisions when they have a good leads against good teams.

[Max Green]

**** Warriors. Half of their starting lineup should be on our team.

[Baddy Chuck]

**** Warriors. Half of their starting lineup should be on our team.

Curry, Thompson and half of Bogut?

[bizarro]

Curry had an awful 4th quarter, that was GS's biggest problem.

Curry had an awful shooting quarter. He's one of the few players in the league where I live with his step back 3's and questionable jumpers. He can get hot on those at any moment and go off for 12 quick unanswered. And, as Iggy pointed out, Jackson let's his players play. And, it's the same mentality that found GS feeding Lee for several contested plays in the post.

If I'm the coach in those last five minutes I'm screening double high on Curry and looking to get Klay and Iggy the ball all day. I put a lid on Curry's iso shots and look for him to get open off of those same double screens after he's dished down low. It's a triple threat.

He really does.

Between that and Curry's knack for the choke they are a team that's very prone to it.

Seriously they must have run 10 post ups between O'Neal and Lee for maybe 1 bucket in the 4th quarter lol.

Yeah, they really needed to find Klay more in those last few minutes given that Westbrook was covering him. It's basically an open look if you can get him the ball in the post. Even though Curry's the GOAT shooter, there's still more variance in those long step back jumpers off the dribble, especially when Klay is rolling.

In other news:

A national NBA writer appeared as a guest on a Cleveland radio station Thursday and indicated the Cavs and Kings may be involved in trade talks. However, a league source told FOX Sports Ohio there's "nothing of substance" to the report.

Ooooooh, I'm just chomping at the bit to see what these two organizations can muster up. Perhaps, Chubby McFatterson is already on the block?

This is the main problem right here, they'll live and die by Curry's shots. He seems to shoot way more high pressured shots then, than he does at any other time during the game. Jackson will let his guys go through it because that's what god wants, whether its the right thing or not.

I'm love, love, loving Klay's post game this season.

Did the Knicks actually think they could pry away Faried for Shumpert straight-up? Please say this isn't so.

Shump is good, Faried is not.

Sell me. Seriously. I know both are highly prized across the league. And, it was largely believed NY needed to sweeten the pot w/ a draft pick in addition to Shumpert. I'd love to hear your rationale. Thanks.

His rationale is that Faried doesn't offer defense or spacing at the 4 therefore isn't useful whereas Shump can shoot and is an excelent defender at his position. That's my guess anyway from 8 years of reading his posts.

I'm curious if you guys have any feedback regarding Barnes' post game or game in general.

I think he settles for jumpers far too often, but he's really played like that since hs. He does get great separation for it but he doesn't hit it with great consistency.

Agree with your take, but I really like him. Think on a team with less offensive options he'd be a star, has elite athleticism and a thing for the big moment. He does need to attack the basket more, because he's very effective when GE does.
He and Bogut are the two guys having to sacrifice their own games for that team ATM.

Monta 57.0 TS%. Nice.

It may not last, but I'm not surprised. Monta couldn't have been in a worse situation here in Milwaukee.

STFU Carmelo. You can't be serious. Biggest crybaby in the league.

[Thunder Muscle]

Yeah, Melo is very unlikable to see the least.
