Exactly. I really wish we were going up against Billy Donovan though

I figured the Warriors would still win tonight in spite of missing Curry. Klay, Iggy, Green, Livingston all playing well. On the other hand, tonight would have been a fantastic night for Barnes to step up and show the league why he thinks he should get a max deal. Instead he's 1-for-9 with 4 pts and 4 reb. He's also the 4th best wing defender on that team (which in his defense says a lot about their amazing wing defenders). Anyway, point being, I feel really sorry for the team that throws max money at Barnes. He's not that guy. Solid 3-D guy capable of playing both forward spots and not much else.

His ceiling is the 2015-16 version of Marv.

And that ain't max worthy.

Crawford wins 6th man. Surprised Lin got some votes, didn't think he actually would.

I'm annoyed every year when awards are handed out. They get things egregiously wrong all the time. The people that didn't have Iguodala as their first choice don't watch enough basketball to be able to vote for awards. At least there were enough people that take the responsibility seriously to vote him 2nd.

Sixth man of the year = Biggest chucker off the bench. Crawford, J.R. Smith... Oh well.

I had to google who Crawford played for. Maybe I don't watch enough other b-ball on a nightly basis or just don't care for the Clippers... haha. I agree though, Iggy should've won that award. To do what he does with that much talent out there is pretty incredible.

So Felton > Westbrook in game 2

In another Game 2, PJ was 0/2FG, 0/2FT, 0 everything.

Lance was 2/7, 4pts, 1 asts, 0 everything else.

Thibodeau to the Wolves. i am jealous of that teams core.

Brooks to the Wiz? could they manage to get KD to come to town?

Kemba voted the NBA's second most improved player.

Would have been cool to see him win it, but that is a totally fair result imo.

It depends on the severity. Does he have a test on it tomorrow?

I'm pulling for the Celts to take down ATL I think thatll hasten Horford and BAzemore's exits and mean one less EC competitor for us

MRI scheduled for tomorrow... I don't think it looks like anything severe, considering he got back up fairly quickly and walked/limped on it for quite some time, but a 2-3 week absence could be devastating to the Warriors title run. I'm worried

CP3 has a broken hand. Wow. Advantage back to Warriors.

I'm gonna assume nobody predicted Aminu would score 30 with 6 made 3s.

Tough luck for CP3. Ugh.

I don't want the Blazers to advance to the second round.

They have better chances to beat the Warriors than the Clippers, imo.
