I think Orlando is going to make the playoffs. They've got something coming together there. I think they'll be shaky on the road - but I think they are going to win enough home games to get in.

Well the goal is to win the championship.

As it is, I'd just settle with having a legit contender who have a shot at a deep playoff run for a couple of seasons. Remember that this team has won exactly one playoff series in team history. I do believe that ranks dead last among all NBA teams over the past 21 seasons

and thats exactly my point here... were not even a legit contender... its different going into the playoffs with a possible chance at winning a championship... but going into the playoffs knowing youre team isnt good enough means that winning rounds for the sake of winning rounds doesnt really mean anything... its like if the boston team of last year was worried about possible favourable matchups in the playoffs... everyone knows theyre not gonna win, what good is it to them if they advance a round... by the time boston actually has a team in place to win it all, many of the guys from last years team will not be there... to me it just sounds like people expect too much from this team and really think that the core pieces in place should be built around for the near future... which is something i am vehemently against...

Curry fouled on the three, he also made the three lol.

GSW are just in a league of their own

Questionable tactic in picking up Curry full court. Just speeds up the game and is creating all sort of havoc for Suns D.

Wow Curry

The only thing that was competitive was seeing who would score more; Spurs in the half in their game or the Warriors in the first quarter against Phoenix lol.

That PnR between Livingston/Barnes so tough to defend. Even though Iggy isn't a threat from the deep corner if his defender "tag" Barnes on his dive it leaves Iggy to blow by a recovering defender like he did earlier against Teletovic for the baseline dunk.

Warriors weave action so beautiful. Only if the Raps run it with conviction instead of causally waltzing into their DHO.

CP3 was the originator of that side step I believe but Steph has perfected that move

hsb · Post #837 » by **hsb** » Sat Nov 28, 2015 3:26 am

If you run out to Curry, make sure you don't go so far out. If he shifts to the side and readjusts, guaranteed three.

How do you stop this Warriors team? If you get up on them; they just blow by you or move the ball around the arc. If you step back, they splash a 3 right in your face. People keep comparing this Warriors team to the Bulls, well how about this Warriors team against the 2010-2014 Heat?

Holy that pull up 3 by Curry off of that dribble move. Dude caps it off with a clean swish too.
