Around the NBA part 2 - Save Melo from Brodie

Most striking about Warriors:

Poole, Toscano-Anderson, Damion Lee, Looney and originally also Draymond Green: all names nobody ever wanted, inquired about, feared, cared about.

In New York, these guys wouldn’t play. Ever.

GSW are not lucky at all. They play their guys. They work hard and really buy into a system. They have a good coach with creative but most importantly substantial ideas. They really look at talent. I can’t stress that enough: look at talent.

Meanwhile we’re the definition of mediocre. The talent, the sets, the contracts, the vision, the outlook: it’s mediocre.

Randle turning back into Mr. No Handle and Porzingis playing like Dirk 2.0 was one of my greatest concerns entering the season.

KP more talented but he will eventually get hurt or exposed by the strong big men - Embiid, AD, Jok. Even the more mediocre like Gobert, Turner, Dwight etc.

It's up to Julius to back his words. He talks about work and stuff all the time but haven't seen any improvement with anything regarding his right hand.

Dirk was one of the GOAT players in NBA history. I’m one of the few knicks fans who doesn’t have a vendetta against KP, so I’m not biased when I say I never understood the comparison, even more so now. KP has no where near the handle or one on one game Dirk had.

Anyway, I still stand by my theory that Randle and KP would absolutely compliment each other perfectly.

lots of stuff in this. sas destorys the nets for having no fans. says kd made a bad decision going there. claims that kd & kyrie were definitely going to the knicks and kyrie convinced kd to go to brooklyn so they could build their own culture. kd still wasn't sure where he was going at the last minute and wasn't talking to kyrie. deandre jordan then got them on the phone together at 5am and kd ended up in brooklyn. wow.....sham was right :lol:

It also helps that they have a top 15 player of all time having an MVP season.

You add Steph to our roster we would be undefeated

I don't think our talent is mediocre but the effort, the sets, the vision, coaching, and outlook certainly are right now.

No we wouldn’t. You need high IQ players to know how to play with him

Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins are high IQ players? Lol

Curry is the most portable player in league history. He can play with anyone because his off-ball gravity is so high it makes everything easy for his team

The reason the Warriors are winning is because:
1. They had an easy Schedule
2. Curry is playing like an MVP candidate
3. Draymond is playing like the DPOY

Other than that they have all replaceable players who have some continuity because this is their 2nd year together. Other players like Otto porter and Bjelicia were getting DNP on their old teams, their job is just a lot easier with Curry.

What a complete f*ck up by KD to trust Kyrie. KD would be a god if he was playing nightly in the Garden. We damn near chant "MVP" to Julius Randle who has 1/100th the talent level KD has.

Shame KD's friendship with Kyrie robbed that from us. But also kinda glad Kyrie isn't in NY. What a complete clown he is.

I'm sure KD would have came on his own too if he wasn't injured. I"m sure even he had some doubts if he could completely carry a franchise after the Achilles injury especially coming to the Knicks with the media attention. So probably going to Brooklyn was a bit of a safety net since he figured Kyrie could also take the attention away while he was hurt.

But man that decision completely backfired on him. KD is having one of the best years of his career and nobody cares about the Nets and there arena was chanting MVP to an opposing player...that would never happen with the Knicks.
