That has to be some of this most impressive basketball I've watched in years, Klay is underrated as hell. The Warriors are something else, the depth of the team is unfuckable with.
its not like he went 100% from inside in that third quarter either, they were all hard/contested/ quick shots

Hats off to you Klay, this is going to be one of the most interesting second halves of the season in a very long time. Any one can take the tittle this year

god damn the trailblazers give me a heart attack every game.  this fast paced ball they play is so risky but they have endurance like ive never seen an entire team have
would you rather read an abudabi post or have a screwdriver shoved up your ass?

I wish the Jazz were better. There is no reason they should be as bad as they are.

Hawks kinda fucked with em.  Second half wasn't that close.
Not that it matters.  Memphis is coming out of the west, and Atlanta....or (please god no) the Cavs aren't beating them.

I'm not even a warriors or hawks fan but a Warriors Hawks finals would be amazing.

I agree! The warriors have really grown on me this season. Probably my second favorite team in the west.

Amar'e Stoudemire says he's leaving the New York Knicks with a "heavy heart." Now he's looking for an opportunity to join a contender.

The Knicks announced on Monday afternoon that they have waived Stoudemire, who signed a five-year, $99.7 million contract with New York in July 2010.



Pretty interested to see where he goes.

Looks like the Mavs. Pretty good low risk, high upside move on their part. I think he can be pretty solid in limited minutes.

Knick Fan over here. Its true that he had a heavy price tag and was frequently injured, but minus that, he's a fantastic player to have on your team, it seems like he is getting better with age too, imo anyways, at least smarter when it comes to basketball. He is a bit of a ball hog though in the sense if he happens to get the ball, he never passes, so that helps to know if you're defending him

annnnd the sixers trade their good players away again.


I get the strategy except that it seems stupid to spend a year and a half developing mcw to then just trade him away.

I think itll bite us in the ass eventually, if not sooner. Also real bummed at losing kj mcdaniels... to the fucking rockets.

Golden State looks unbeatable with Bogut and Curry healthy. Its so strange to see both playing great at the same time

No Bogut no chance, he's that good

I'll admit I was pissed when we got Bogut for Monte.... I'm cool with it now. We can win without him though.

A couple days late but, really stoked HB came through with the game winner against the suns. The depth of the dubs bench is remarkable, everyone seems to pull their weight.

No. GSW need everything to work perfectly, this warrior team hasn't been there before. Curry can dance around and make the highlight reel during the season, it's alot different with Danny Green in your face who can match Curry's shooting.

Warriors are a serious threat to Spurs, but cmon man Spurs are the stone nuts they've been mowing down everyone lately by 20-30 points. Straight rolling to another Finals appearance, I hope it's CLE vs SA that would be amazing.

Time to hop off the spurs. Going to the finals three consecutive years is a real thing and taxing on the body. The warriors play hard nose defense and when you look at the match ups pop is going to be hate subbing out of sheer frustraion. Its not like the dubs arent deep as it is. What makes this team even more undeniable is that steve kerr has all these guys bought into each other. They play team basketball on the same robotic level that the spurs do and with home court advantage forget about it.

Dubs in 6.

Golden state won like 65% of their games without Bogut this year but you really don't want to lose your primary rim protector/interior defender going into the playoffs.

If they don't win a championship this year they should be kicking themselves. There's no way they're still gonna be 9-10 men deep after this off season (*cough* Draymond *cough* David Lee).

You'd think by now people would stop underestimating San Antonio. Every year people start counting the Spurs out, and every year the Spurs prove them wrong. I guarantee no team in the West would be happy matching up to them for 7 in the PO's. 16 consecutive 50 win seasons is phenomenal.

I think youre, like, wrong, bro. This year everyone is all aboard the spurs train. Years of denial has finally found a market correction. As I stated above multiple playoff and title runs add extra seasons to your career. Timmy prolly has at minimum 25 years worth of nba miles. You cant always count on boris diaw finally playing himself into shape around this time every year. Shots are going to go flat. TP fades in an out of games. The defense is contingent on Kawhai stopping the point of attack. Not happenin for 48 mins in roughly 24 games.

Ill let you guys hop on the bandwagon but im a little skeptical.

they just fucked the rockets up and will probably steal the 2 seed tommorow.. who else is in the way? If I was forced to bet I'd bet spurs to win the finals. I'd prefer the warriors or hawks though.

Tossing this in and it may never happen but the idea of the no eastern and western conference playoff bracket and just picking the overall top 16 teams to face off. I have been following the NBA religiously since 93 and this has come up a few times but in the last year or so has been talked about more often.
