one more thing, they need a new nickname for curry/thompson. " splash brothers " is so...gay. :b:

lol

Senatore_M84 · May 17, 2013

for me, splitters health is a big issue.

splitter/duncan can hang w/ gasol/randolph.

if splitter is out and you gotta use bonner etc. a lot... murderq

all of GSW's fans hate it :lol:

Ashish · May 17, 2013

Yeah that's why I want a healthy Ginobili he feeds splitter all the time, splits need to finish strong .

When manu goes on a tear splits will have a great game but Memphis will prevent half the P&R

do GSW have enough cap to sign someone like pau?

I think he'll move this summer.

pau isn't a free agent. Warriors dont have cap room, i posted it last page.

warriors have cap space in 2014

pau will be a free agent in 2014

along w/ lebron, bosh, wade, kobe.. potentially melo, zbo, duncan (if they opts out)

others too.

i don't expect any of them to move, though miami will be interesting, cause it's getting too expensive and wade's knees are showing he's in no way worth a max contract.

-

We'll evalaute bogut next year. If he doesn't bounce back with health, we won't resign him in 2014 and look for someone knew.

my preference? LARRY SANDERS!!!!!!!! Dude's gonna get PAID in 2014, best player in milwaukee. Monster

Sage · May 17, 2013

thing is with d'antoni, if they want to keep him, they should get rid of some players and sign his type of players to suit his system.

Senatore_M84 · May 17, 2013

simmons saying TD is best player of his gen. I completely agree.

most say kobe, but i don't REALLY see the argument.

He makes a legitimate point in 2003 timmy won a title almost by himself. Parker was 20 and nothing special. Robinson was 37 and got 8.5 ppg, in like 26 mins (end). MAnu's first year in nba, getting like 20 mpg, and 7 points

Career winning %- 70%. WOW

never won less than 50 games in a season (except strike season).

And spurs never considered trading duncan.

one of the games was the greatest nba finals game ever

He was all alone .. i personally think he should have got one more regular season MVPs well

but qall the phoneix games were better for me esp robert howry nash bust up

Senatore_M84 · May 17, 2013

nba draft combine now-

didn't know this, but SHAQ has highest recorded 'max vert' (basically hight your hand can touch when jumping)

12 feet 5 inches

Dwight and Javale tied #2- 12 feet 3 inches

Senatore_M84 · May 17, 2013

for what it's worth...

shaq measured legit 7ft1, 7ft7 wingspan, was only 303 lbs as a rookie and basically blake griffin/dwight level athletic.

only 12% body fat too :O

you wanna be between 10-12% as an athlete to have fuel to burn

Senatore_M84 · May 17, 2013

Barnes stitches-

hard for me not to look at Lee's turn hip., Steph and Bogut's ankles, and think, damn a little more luck with health.

Especially for DLee.... he is so unlucky

Dlee interview- http://www.mobli.com/media/show/id/63169168

Marcus Thompson ‏@gswscribe 12h
Had a respected basketball guy call me over after the game and say the Warriors had better take care of Mark Jackson
Collapse Reply Retweet Favorite More

I am kinda scared.

He's from NYC. BIG TIME brooklyn guy. Lifetime knicks fan. both jobs would appeal.

And he lives in LA, has his own church he preaches at in LA. His wife is from LA.

I'd say all 4 of those jobs open up by next summer. 2 this summer (clippers and nets)

Besfort · May 17, 2013

Happy to see the "Warriors" go home. This is what happens when you fucking overhype players like Curry who cant be consistent in two games in a row, and his stupid atitude makes me hate him more... I can still remember some assholes who were saying: Carmelo who? Lool

Knicks take on the very good Pacers tomorrow, its gonna be a heck of a game but still there is hope! GO KNICKS!

PS. Fuk you woodson for not giving Copeland more minutes.

he stopped being consistent when he got hurt. Unfortunate

When a dude shoots same percentage from spots for 4 straight years, it;s hard to call him 'inconsistent'

if he's inconsistent what do we call rose who was 39% for entire playoffs in 2011, or westbrook? How about Parker who was all over place this series? That's what i thought.

-

and LOL what attitude? He's prolly nicest guy in NBA. A little bit of an air head though (head in clouds typE)

Carmelo is playing injured and still keeping it up while his shoulder is bothering him from using his pure jumpshot.

Nicest guy? U saw the series how many times he was yelling at Thomson "give me the fucking ball" ?
You guys should thank Bogut who kept you alive with his amazing defense and rebounds.

thompson should give him the ball, he was open, he's the PG and most of times he's open.

LOL at that comment when you have Melo.

Melo has been ATROCIOUS this playoffs.

27.2 ppg on .395FG%, 30.2 3pt%, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists

Curry-
23.2 ppg, 43.4%, 39.6% on 3s (and he takes A LOT of 3s), 8.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds

not a q in my mind who's been better

Curry's efficiency was above playoff average. Melo's is way below

Ashish · May 17, 2013

bowen was out partying and he is not appearing on his own podcast :lol:

such a champion

Marc Jackson will coach the Knicks on day. I think if we come knocking he come aboard.

i do too

however i think he'd prefer lakers or clippers.

like i said, wife from LA, lives in LA now, preaches at his church in LA (he flies down on off days)

-

i dont see jackson as a 'long term' type of coach. I think he does it max 10 years and goes back to broadcasting.

Ya..lotta people don't realize shaq

See him as the guy in last years la or in Miami

Shaq was the best player--period. He was as skilled as he was otherworldly athletic and large. Really, an insult to him to compare with anybody

even laker shaq was nowhere near the athletic freak orlando shaq was.

Shaq's biggest problem was willingness to keep it up. He should have like 7 titles

Ashish · May 17, 2013

he should have won titles every year he played he was that good

Rooting for a perpetually hopeless franchise will drive you insane for a number of reasons. You know this. But you know when it gets really bad? The playoffs, when you have to watch players your team passed up dominate on another team. Actually that's not it, either. It gets REALLY bad when you watch someone like Kawhi Leonard dominating for the Spurs and realize that this never would've happened if he'd landed with your team.

As Jeff Van Gundy said Thursday night while Leonard helped finish off the Warriors, "He knows who he is, and he plays to his role." On a bad team, Kawhi Leonard probably never finds out who he is or what he's supposed to do, and his role changes by the month. Because that's how bad teams operate.

thats totally true.

kid's a stud, but don't ever question how much situation can help a guys development

Ashish · May 17, 2013

Kwahi is a clean up specialist none of the plays are run uniquely for him, he never forces anything. Game comes to him yeah you are right other plays make it happen and kwahi helps the team out

I see Barnes like that but he is not focussed
