    But if he wins his trade value will be higher!

    Make it a two-way competition between paired competitors, with one guarding while the other shoots from each spot. I bet Wes' odds go up significantly!

    Didn't they have a WNBA player in this last year?

    If I'm Wes I'm hiring Larry Bird to come help me with my shot.

    Curry's never won it cuz he's not that good. Did you see him in the AS Game last year? Not good. Also got bounced in first round of playoffs. Overrated.

    I highly doubt GS gets bumped from the first round of the playoffs this year. Curry is not over rated because of these two things.

    To be fair, he just said that "he's not that good." Didn't really specify what that entailed...

    That's true, but it's not like saying "he's not that bad", it implies negative connotations. And besides he is that good, that's why he will end up being the best 3 point shooter in NBA history. At least until dame catches him!

    Yep. I was at the GS game last year when he went OFF... the guy can literally hit it from anywhere, any time. I love watching that guy play. And he is that good. Luckily, we have dame, who will most likely get there himself, so its like a win win for us.

    Warriors will get bounced in first round this year, no question. And look at Curry's All Star Game box score. Embarrassing. Curry isn't the best three point shooter ever. He doesn't even average 40%! Korver and Kerr are best three point shooters ever.

    What do you have against the warriors and Curry? It's a damn good team and a damn good player. Why do you have to constantly bash them. It just looks like you're actually afraid of them. They are a good, well-coached team whose coach is going to coach the all star game. They are pretty much a lock to make the playoffs, and as long as they dont play OKC, they have a good chance of getting to the 2nd round. You have to account for Curry and Thompson, they got a solid bench with Speights, Lee, and Iggy. They got great D. This isn't the clippers we're talking about. The Warriors are actually built to make a run in the playoffs.

    I liked them when they had Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry and they made it to the 2nd round. They got rid of those guys and have sucked since. When it matters. They haven't done anything to improve on last year's roster which got bounced by the god-awful Clippers. Not afraid of the Warriors at all. They can't guard Aldridge. Only teams I'm afraid of are Spurs and Hawks. Those teams are near unbeatable when they're on.

    I think you're gonna be wrong. New coach. New system. top record in the west. They are "for real" as the kids say.
