Kobe 0-7 2TOs so far in the 1st half.

He is having as bad of season as ANY player EVER. If this continues he will have worst season ever for player of his usage. Injuries have taken a toll, but I still can't fanthom why he doesnt stop shooting, especially 3s. He is 3rd in the league in attempts (8) but dead last at 22% in makes (qualified players).

Warriors shooting 40% from the line, Nets in this one. They only shot 2-4 on threes and still put up 54 points lol.

My goodness Curry
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

Honestly Curry is by far the best offensive in NBA history, no way MJ or LBJ could keep up with him. This guy might end up as the GOAT if GS sign durant.

Curry has turned into a great player but you're going way overboard here. However Curry is by far the best shooter I have ever seen.

I love Curry. Loved watching him in college in the NCAA's. Love watching him in the NBA and it's literally shocking what a great player he has become, but he is no where close to being one of the greatest players of all time. He's a great shooter, likely the best ever, on a great run through.

I've never been more wrong about a player coming out of college than I was with Curry. Thought he was a fantastic shooter, but would only amount to a good role player to average starter. The way he's been playing this year it's like he sold his soul for the ability to drain just about every shot he takes, from seemingly anywhere in the half court set. What he's been doing is really just incredible to watch.

2 players in the same team with a triple double in a game !
Westbrook: 19-11-10
Durant: 20-10-4 with 10 turnovers

I always hear this once every 5 years. LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, there's always a generational player that's doing something unheard of. This is the same thing people said when Kobe had that 62 points in 3 quarters, 81 point games, and when he had that streak of 9 straight 40 point games.

This board was particularly optimistic on Zinger's potential in the league. I was always a big fan of his from a year ago and was excited until he undeclared from last year's draft. Glad to see a talent like this in the league. Man are those Knicks fans eating their words from draft night.

LaVine putting daggers to the Clips. Will this season be a all around changing of the guard? A true season of the up and comers?
