I'm pretty positive he was saying that to Lamb, which makes it extra ok because they are so tight.

Kemba thing is a non-issue to me. He was playing like crap and was venting. If it was a pattern, yep, but he's not in the habit of doing it. BTW - I am a lifelong hoops fan - have watched players first hand for nearly 30 years (gross). Steph Curry is the best shooter I have ever seen. Period. Klay Thompson isn't far behind. I think it's safe to say that Steph may be the best shooter in the history of the league. They are really a joy to watch. Just wish our players wouldn't have removed their cajones before facing them.

Let's nut paint Kemba

Whoa now buddy, let's not get too frisky yet. Gotta win a playoff game before I start doing this.

Random question...why all of a sudden this board and Pistons board getting hella posts now, especially game day topics? I remember both boards used to be dead.

Not while I've been around

[Braggins]

We need to attach a pick to Al to get a talent upgrade somewhere. We need a starting center and someone to knock PJ out of the rotation to compete with elite teams. I know ge hit some shots but you cant get away with 27 minutes of Spencer Hawes and no offensive or defensive presence from our bigs outside of Franks shooting. We cant be starting a wing with a sub 6 PER who isnt a threat to do anything anywhere on the court and isnt an above average defender. We cant reliable get high end talent with our draft picks anyway so we might as well trade one for established talent.

Thought the same thing.

[Mystical Apples]

Good on Kemba for putting Lamb on blast. Players need to hold each other accountable.

[Braggins]

Hairston should never start again. Or even see minutes. Gives absolutely nothing.

Agree. I supported the PJ experiment. I think it was a good idea by Cliff to try to get something out of him, but its clear we need a different solution. Cliff knows it, but Im not sure what the solution is. We can start Lamb, give Frank more minutes at PF so that Marv can play more at SF, and play Lin more at SG. I think thats the only internal way to solve it. Im hoping for a trade, though.

[Joest2003]

He said "where the fu*ks the help at" you guys are acting like he attacked somebody. It's good that he holds people responsible that's what all teammates should do.

[MasterIchiro]

But we are also sorely lacking in talent and have whiffed on a lot of draft picks which is holding the organization back.

Biz-bust
Zeller-bust
PJ-bust
Vonleh-busting

MKG-definitely not the second best player in that draft, has no range in today's NBA

We'll see about Frank.

If he helps win is a playoff series I'll not only paint them but I'll shave them smooth if he likes.

Steph Curry is just mind-blowing, I'm in awe right now, making impossible shots look routine. He's on another level right now and I really believe he's the best player in the league (sorry LeBron, your time has come).

I am so jealous of this team, they're just a joy to watch and they're destroying every team that gets in their way.

We had our moments in this game, but overall we didn't bring our A game either, which is pretty much a death sentence against this Warriors team.

I can't say he's better than LeBron. LeBron still does more defensively and rebounding than Curry can do. Curry is far and away the best offensive player, but not total overall player.

[BigSlam]

Just now seeing this...

Wow. And that's not a "Wow" for Kemba yelling at the team, but a "wow" for such god awful help defense. I'd have probably yelled in that same situation as well.

I have no problem with that yell from Kemba.

Agreed. It was one little outburst from a well respected team mate who was having a frustrating night. It's not like he spent the next 3 or 4 times up and down the court screaming at his teammates.

Let's nut paint Kemba as some horrible person or team cancer from a moment of frustration. It's pretty obvious he's a stellar teammate and person.

Chris Paul does this 92 times per 100 possessions and is considered the best leader in the NBA by some.

Kemba can get on his teammates for screw ups. It's allowed. He's a respected leader. I've got no issue with it until it becomes demonstrative, which Paul can be at times. Just don't get to DeMarcus Cousins level.

Agreed.

Interestingly enough some posters were ready to lynch Al earlier when him and Cliff barked at each other on screen........one time.

I'm more concerned with Lambs sh***y recognition than what Kemba said. Kemba's reaction should be a given. In fact a punch there would have been fine.

How does Steff compare to Reggie Miller? I think what makes Steph so great is other parts of his game, handling, passing, taking it to the rim, along with the long, long range shooting. But I remember Reggie Miller lighting it up from 3s too, getting into crazy streaks and hitting clutch 3s.

[yosemiteben]

How does Steff compare to Reggie Miller?

Reggie's career high from three was 42.1%. Steph's career low is 42.4%. He's shot above 45% from three twice before, and he's currently shooting 45.9%.

Reggie's career high in 3PTAs per game for a season was 6.6 in 1996-97. Curry is taking 11.1 this season.

What Steph is doing is unprecedented.

[fatlever]

Steph is the best shooter in the history of the NBA and its not really even close IMO. Its Steph, then a big gap, then the next best shooters. He shoots off the dribble, from 26+ feet with a defender in his face better than most elite shooters shoot open corner 3s.
