    they had just got a competent PG in Augustin

    Malone had the whole roster improving

    It's really hard to argue that Steph Curry is the GOAT just because of the position he plays. Even if he were the best PG defender in the history of the game, the impact a smaller player can have on defense is simply not going to be as great as that of a larger player. People will try to balance both offense and defense, which skews you towards the SF-PF-C range, with the argument being that someone like Kareem had just as much of an impact on offense while doing much more for his team on defense, or LeBron being able to defend multiple positions while also carrying a heavy offensive load.

    It's certainly possible to argue that Curry does so much on the offensive end, while not giving up anything on the defensive end, that his overall contribution is larger than the others, but that's always going to be a hard sell, regardless of how fair it is.

    Phil Jackson has some work to do on the executive front, but I'd put him the conversation.

    If only there were some mascot option that could be somehow connected to Ballmer's Microsoft background and stay true to the word Clip in some way. Some kind of friendly mascot, always willing to help you whenever it sees you struggling to do something...

    Also, the Celtics are so incredibly fun to watch this season.

    Heat slither under the luxury tax line by getting Beno Udrih to agree to a buyout despite him getting no benefit from it.

    I think Shaun Livingston might be my favourite player in the NBA.
    In a game against the Charlotte Bobcats on February 26, 2007, Livingston suffered a debilitating knee injury, dislocating his left kneecap after landing awkwardly following a missed layup, resulting in the left leg snapping laterally. Livingston injured almost every part of his knee, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and the lateral meniscus, badly spraining his medial collateral ligament (MCL), and dislocating his patella and his tibio-fibular joint.[7] The injury was so severe that ESPNEWS warned viewers of the graphic nature of the video clip before airing it.[8] Livingston was told by a medical professional at the hospital that there was a chance that his leg would have to be amputated. He required months of rehabilitation to be able to walk again.[9]
    On July 11, 2014, Livingston signed with the Golden State Warriors[36] to a reported three-year, $16 million contract.[37] On August 15, 2014, he was ruled out for six to eight weeks after having arthroscopic surgery on the big toe of his right foot.[38] He recovered in time to make his debut for the team in their season opener, and served as a key player off the bench for the Warriors in their run to the 2015 NBA championship.[39]

    I've liked Livingston and Speights since their brief stints as Cavaliers. I wish we would have hung onto them.

    I was impressed with Speights in that warriors thunder game. He didn't play a lot but his shot was nice, barely missed a beat while curry was getting taped up

  • ElldrenElldren Is a woman dammit ceterum censeoRegistered User regular
    I've liked Mo Speights since his brief stint as a Grizzly.

    Dude isn't a star but he's solid

    Shaun Livingston was such a stud before that injury

    Such a gruesome one

    It's crazy that not only are the Warriors on pace to beat the 72-10 Bulls, they are actually on pace to beat it by quite a lot

    72-10 is 0.878 winning percentage.
    55-5 is 0.917.

    The Warriors, at their current pace, will win 75 or 76 games.

    Cavs flat footed for another second game back-to-back. Did Lue cancel all the end of practice conditioning drills?
