That was a hell of a dunk, but Dunk of Death makes it sound like he jumped over him.

Fournier saying he didn't go anything, but if you're not in position, you don't touch people. It takes the smallest touch to lose balance in those situations

Curry's quick release over Wemby was insane.

France obviously has no chance if they're going to shoot this poorly from 3

Same. I was never a fan. But he’s been awesome to watch. We all know he’s an incredible offensive player but it’s been great to see him buying into the team game, hustling and doing the little things.

France needs to nationalize a point guard in the worst way.

Did Wade just say Fournier was a spark on both ends?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
