So I hear to be the man you gotta beat the man....

That spurs/knicks game was amazing. Shumpert went off, and the last minute of that ball game was the best i've seen in awhile. Both teams just knocking down shot after shot.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

are teh knicks even .500 bro?? WHO CARES. DUBS 7 IN A ROW. BEAT DA HEAT

D LEE SAYS HATERS HOW MY NUTS TASTE? FUCKING RAPING DEEZ smurfs ON DA BLOCK

STEPH WAS IN GOD MODE JUST JACKING SHIT UP. QUICKEST REALEASE OF ALL TIME. MVP! MVP! MVP! BOGUT BEST RIM PROTECTOR IN THE LEAGUE! DPOY! DPOY!

DUBS! DUBS! DUBS!

 

[Testify]

Dragić with 33 pts and Suns lose to effing Grizzlies? Damn

 

[Danielson]

Knicks in a tied game with 40 seconds left, shoot the ball with about 26 remaining and Chandler gets the board kicks it to J.R. Smith. We regain possession around 22 seconds. Instead of holding the ball for the last shot, J.R. Smith throws up a 3 with 20 seconds left in the game(shot clock off) Rockets gets fouled, and we lose.

Warriors were down 13 in the 4th and came back to win on an Iguodala 3 pointer at the buzzer 101-100 in Atlanta

Dala so clutch. 8 wins in a row

 

[Danielson]

Yeah, I seen that

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

My god this team is a treat to watch the last few weeks



Bogut is so fucking good dude. Averaging close to 14 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per 36 minutes. With he and Dala the sky is the limit for this squad

Cavs traded Bynum and 3 picks for Deng... This should be interesting.

I don't see why Cleveland wouldn't have held on to Bynum for the year to tank harder.

Dubs going after a backup PG either Dre Miller or Kirk HInrich.

either one would improve our second unit by a ton.

I was hoping we would go after bayless. He'd fit with our style

I was hoping we would go after bayless. He'd fit with our style

I like him but he is more of a 2 guard and not much of a distributor. We already have Douglas who can defend and hit spot up 3s, we need someone to actually play point when Steph isn't on the floor. Douglas does it for now but he isn't really any good at making plays for others. Jackson tried to force Bazemore into the role of backup PG but he doesn't fit into that at all. He is a lengthy wing defender with great athleticism and that's about it.

I would take Hinrich before Dre because of his D, and he is a better shooter as well, Miller being the superior distributor. Hinrich handles well and can set up others just fine though, so I prefer him. Say we add Kirk Hinrich and get healthy heading into the playoffs with this type of rotation (minutes approximated)

PG- Steph (38 minutes) Say Curry plays 30 minutes a night on ball, spends a few minutes at the 2 with Hirnich running the point (works well because Hinrich can defend the 2s on the other end) and sits 10 minutes
SG- Klay Thompson (34 minutes) Sees most of the action at the 2, can play a few minutes at the 3 if we go small
SF- Iguodala (34 minutes) Third most important player by my measure after Steph and Bogut 2. Matches up with the other teams best offensive player always. Can handle the ball some to let Steph catch/shoot or when Steph goes to the bench
PF- D Lee (32 minutes) I limit Lee's minutes some because I don't really like him defensively and he is a liability down the stretch on that end. Draymond Green should get run at the 4 in crunch time because he defends, plays his ass off and is clutch as fuck
C- Bogut (as many as he can handle) I would say 30+ a night if he can take it. He is a stud, defending and rebounding better than ever

6th man: Draymond Green (25 minutes) Green should be our primary player off the bench. Can play the 3 or especially the 4 (shuts down stretch 4s) but I've also seen him beast at the 5 against Miami when they play Bosh at C.
7.) Barnes (20 minutes)- Needs to continue working on his D and spot up shooting. He does not possess more value to our team than Green at this point
8.) Hinrich- 14 minutes- the 10 minutes Steph is out + a few minutes of shared backcourt time
9.) Jermaine/Ezeli- two valuable backup Centers, JO can play the 4 some as well. they split the floor time that Bogut isn't out there

That leaves Speights and Douglas as depth players/specialists who won't be needed unless injuries or foul trouble occur. Douglas can be utitlized against smaller, quicker guards like CP3 or Lillard

You would think that but no... no. Cleveland still wants to try to make it to the playoffs. :facepalm:
I guess they didn't want to pay him the rest of the year though. Rumors about him and Kyrie buttin heads have been said, not sure how true they are but I can bet that has to do with the trade.
