Do you really think he is in the Top 10 defensive players in NBA ?

Tonight, Charlotte based all of the offense on attacking him. (could you imagine them doing the same thing vs. DeAndre Jordan, Millsap/Horford, TT, Drummond, Sullinger, ?? .. even against these guys, the offense would not be completely based on just attacking 1 player.)

Clifford is a really good coach for a reason -- that was their best chance.

Miami is a much better offensive team -- Charlotte really had no chance.

Yes

@gordontrue is this ok? How would you compare this to the Warriors on court celebrations?

Haha. I had the exact same thought when that play happened. Yeah, I need to chill on the warriors celebrations for sure.

 

[gordontrue]

I will add that at least that celebration from LeBron came on an incredible play. Dunks like that are very rare. One of his best dunks of the year. With the Warriors I feel like Draymond will lay the ball up and start flexing and pounding his chest.

Again, I need to take it easy though. Intensity and celebration is part of what makes competition fun.

 

[Montalban]

Saw him shoot today he looks fine to me

According to Curry he's not ready. His game depends on movement and quickness which with the foot stress fracture, which is what I believe it is, he won't have.

Yep, but you rarely see Lebron that enthusiastic. I can't remember a time he was that pumped up. Like you said Curry, especially this year, and Draymond celebrate every time they make a damn shot, especially Draymond. There are times where you need to pump up your team and the crowd and there are times where it is excessive, so there is a difference.

 

[Shanemansj13]

They don't even need Curry against Houston. Houston isn't the same team as they were last year and their defense is even worse, it is atrocious. That team is a disaster and Harden is a scorer that's it and he isn't a leader.

I'd still assume he doesn't play tonight if he's less than 90%. Encouraging news though.

They could probably sit both Splash brothers and would still beat the Rockets by double digits.

Houston has G.S. right where they want them. The Warriors are in trouble the rest of the series.

I think @Montalban hacked @Wamu's account.

'Big' contract? Dude's literally the most underpaid player in the game and it's not even close.

Well in all fairness he signed his contract before he became the Steph we see today. He will get paid though on that next contract.

And he is this pumped up while playing against the Pistons???

Well the Pistons have been talking a lot of shit through 2 games, not sure why, but it isn't working.

Just ask the Clips...

As much as I'd like to see the Pistons win this series. I knew they stood no chance given the mental make up of this team. But yeah, the Pistons are doing quite the amount of chirping for a team that's down 2-0.
