Hurray, I get to kick this off!

Before I get started, let me say that I fully expect these guys to figure it out and turn it around while I am well aware of the fact that James Harden is a special talent. However...

Oh how lovely is it to see them suffer after a season of hearing about Harden's claim to the MVP. Perhaps I am guilty of being too hard on guys like Harden and Melo (or Harris below them) sometimes but the fact is that we just don't see many teams go all the way when their franchise talent is ball hogging chucker who can't defend a manikin.

I understand that players as talented as these guys don't grow on trees so if you find one, you take him and it is on the GM / coach to build around them much like Dallas did with Dirk.

I just hope this shuts people up about Harden being the best in the league. There is a very small group of players at the very top. Harden and Melo are in that 2nd tier elite group.

Yep.

I look forward to hearing about that last rookie class. Porzingis seems to be a hit so Skin is somewhere cheesin. If they don't stop talking about Whiteside like he's Wilt I am gonna scream (which i guess doesn't matter since yall can't hear me haha).

Clippers lighting up the Warriors right now.

Redick still out but CP3 is looking fantastic for someone who was listed as doubtful this morning.

the clips really aren't in control of this game despite their lead.

Warriors are fun to watch. And to think, they nearly traded Curry for Bogut but Bucks wanted Ellis instead.

I hope they break the 72-wins record and lose to us in the Finals.

Looking at the Clippers and their struggles...imagine if CP3 came here...we'd likely still have Dwight and SVG...possible championship trophy and rings too. We were a much better fit for him, but he had to have the LA lifestyle. Sigh.

Don't get me wrong, I love our team, love what Hennigan has done, it's just everything could be so different had CP3 came here.

Anyone still want to George Karl? Seems like he's got his **** together in SacTown

Kobe fractured Valanciunas's left hand... guessing he'll be out a while. Could make our rise in the east a little easier for the time being.

Porzingis is going to haunt me for the next 15 years.

BadMofoPimp · Post #19 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Sun Nov 22, 2015 3:50 am

Poordingus tonight with Melo (14pts) limited to 25min due to foul trouble:

36min 24pts 14rbd 7blk 2ast 8-12fg 2-3 from three 6-6ft and only 3to's.

+14 (best on team) for the win. He proved me very wrong!!!

:banghead:

Curry is out of this world. Every time he hoists one up it feels like it's money. No deficit is insurmountable when you can shoot the 3 ball like that.
