    One of the contenders is going to pick him up for the stretch run. If we weren't already so loaded in the wings, I'd want to.

    San Antonio seems like the most reasonable spot for him, but what do I know?

    Cavs will land him. Their 10 man rotation would be intense with him.

    Irving / Delly
    JR / Shumpert
    LeBron / JJ
    Love / Frye
    TT / Mozgov

    Their backups would be better than the 76ers starters lol

    It's interesting that the Jazz/Spurs game also starts at 7:30. I wonder if they scheduled theirs and ours at the same time so TNT could pick during the season which one they wanted to show, based on playoff seeding etc..

    Start looking at some of these depth charts in these western playoff teams, and then look at how deep we've been with the consistent play of people off the bench. Outside of the Warriors I would argue that we have the 2nd deepest team in the west right now. It would be a close argument between us and the Spurs, because the Spurs have had guys like Patty/Anderson/Simmons doing great things for them off the bench.

    Clippers backup Center is Cole Aldrich, backup PF Mbah-a-Moute. We could play small like the Warriors against any team in the west, but Kawhi could cause problems for us though.

    Everyone has to be on at the same time but we can be very good when they are. Games get tougher if you have a Krab-with-a-K game AND a Meyers Lemon game AND a Moe Sparkless game at the same time!

    So Curry just scored 51 on 20/27 and one mother fucking free throw. How INSANE is that????

    Un fucking believable what he is doing is completely unprecedented.

    For a team with 2 of the 5 best NBA players the Thunder really struggle.

    Chef has an NBA record 128 consecutive games with a 3 pointer made. He might make one 3 in every game for the rest of his career...

    We will see. The playoffs are a whole other beast, when teams can get away with more physical play (basically getting to play the way GS does...) shots tend to be harder as we all know.

    Spurs held Jazz to 78 in Utah. Really don't want to play the Spurs in the first round. I feel like they would completely take us out of our game.

    Curry would just shoot from 55 feet instead of 25, and he'd probably still make it.

    They do, it's really befuddling. Ibaka isn't bad, either. Maybe perfect example of not having complimentary talent side by side. They don't make each other better, imo. I think you need Durant to have a Scottie Pip game to be complimentary with Russ.

    Wes just willed that run for Dallas...he hadn't done anything for 3 plus qtrs...then he ran off a dozen pts and got to the line. Barton outplayed Wes so far though

    This might be funny if it wasn't so true.
