    Guys - Dunno if it's been said here already: so many posts

    But, Curry has a mild concussion. He's day to day with no timetable. He may be out Saturday. If he is, does this up our chances a tad to actually have a chance?

    Heh. I already posted this in it's own thread. But it's still hilarious.

    Anyone know where I can find the numbers on what portion of possessions that teams post up, run iso's, etc.?

    I ask because I'm fascinated that the Warriors actually run iso post plays really often in half court sets. The abnormal part is that they give it to Barnes and Klay who pound smaller players, but both guys are pretty good with their back to the basket. Barnes in particular loves that mid-post ISO area and MJackson uses him very much like a poor man's Melo.

    Steph Curry AND Toney Douglas out for Warriors. Implications:

    - Andre Iguodalais running the offense whenever hes in the game. He runs offense maybe 30% of the time when hes in usually so its not completely new to him. Hes not shooting well but has 5 assists and 1 TO at the half of a low scoring game.

    - Harrison Barnes starts. Hes having a nice game thus far. Probably more interesting though is that the Warriors don't have a starter under 6'7, plus the two first players off the bench are Speights and Draymond Green. The only GS player under 6'7 who has played is Kent Bazemore who is 6'4 but has a 7'0 wingspan, and he only played 4 minutes in the first half.

    Harden was crying foul and stopped playing with 4 seconds left.

    Harden has not been a very good player in late game situations. That leaves Houston at 8-5.

    Defense is their biggest issue outside the egos of Dwight and Harden.

    Iggy with one of my biggest pet peaves in the NBA. Has 10 seconds to shoot the ball in regulation and waits until 2 seconds and ends up with NO decent shot. IDIOTIC

    Love is a stat monster but his defense is horrific!

    I've watched about every MN game this season and he does one of two things on defense:

    Moves out of the way hoping for a help defender or totally gives up contesting the shot to grab a potential rebound.

    Dominated by Griffin. Love doing his best LaMarcus Aldridge impression - 30 sec mark: http://www.nba.com/games/20131120/LACMIN/gameinfo.html

    MVP post move right there. lol

    Minni falls, GS falls, Houston falls. Only 3 teams in the West (Port 6, SA 5, Meph 4) have 4 or more road wins.

    Chicago comes off a B2B vs Denver to face Port on Fri.
    GS comes off a B2B vs Lakers and to face Port on Sat.

    Blazers win these two games and the national media is gonna choke on some crow for another week. Lose 1 or both, and we'll hear more of the same cynical doubt.

    Go Blazers!

    Speaking of epic Matthews' quotes: “I’m going to kill everything... The Game got this mixed tape out titled Operation Kill Everything. That’s all I’m going to do. Gotta take respect.”
