I agree totally. Only that, I am sure he kept telling himself "the next one would go in" and again and again till it was 1-11.

They deserved the L and Jokic is playing ball this season but all eyes are on the playoffs for the most part this term.
"I would go 0-for-30 before I would go 0-for-9"
Steph is a disciple of the mamba.
In all seriousness,I see nothing wrong with it. He should just get to the line more when his shots are not falling.

I agree with you. GSW should have attacked the rim more and also defended the perimeter. That would have helped.
Lessons they need to pick up en route the playoffs

He seems too smart a player to settle for such an option when he has another scoring weapon in his artillery. The 3 ball is a boom or bust thing. Even as a spectator there are times you can tell a player's shot is busted for that night by looking at their first few shots

Ibaka to Toronto, I like the trade

He also is one of the best at finishing at the Rim.
If I was Kerr all the shots I would want curry to take are layups and threes. The long 2's should always be the last option this 1-11 na off night.

That's what Harden does. Harden will make only 7 shots but score 35 points. IT will hit 11 shots but reach 40 points even with all the missed 3 points. And both these players don't make 90% FTs like Curry

Even after the air ball, he's still shooting 3s. Attack the rim nigga and shoot your money maker.

Serge Ibaka to toronto raptors have been confirmed...
Am sure he's gonna form ease pressure off DeRozan and Lowry
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:28pm On Feb 14, 2017
How would the Cavs cope with Love's long term absence?
More minutes to LeBron and keep top spot in the ECF or sacrifice top spot to Celtics and keep the rooster healthy?
Cos let's be frank, now that Love is out, I can realistically see the Cavs dropping out of top spot, except they wanna bleed James' minutes.

Won't the 2nd position take you to playoffs?? Well i don't think we're are much bothered about Love's injury, we have a replacement Fyre who has been very good in his last two starts averaging 16.5 points & 4.5 boards while shooting 54 percent from the floor and also Love's injury would make us keep Derrick williams.

No one likes to loose home advantage to a Celtics who are shaping up nicely like they can push the Cavs to game 7.
IMHO, Frye and Williams wouldn't keep up the numbers for long, esp when they come up against better drilled teams and the playoffs pressure begin to build.
Good win lastnight, long may it continue.

with Ibaka, i feel they have a better chance against the cavs now. their offence has been okay, its their defence i think was a problem. they also have that lucas guy. i think this team is set.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:55am On Feb 15, 2017
Muna15 , let's not deceive ourselves, body no be wood.
T Lue knows better.
James isn't the 23yr old he used to be.
Kobe said similar things in his final year, we know how his career ended.

k.love and JR smith would be back before playoffs. Love was a total piss off in the last Finals and bounced through, Love missed 8Playoffs games last 2 seasons, will bounced through and took you guys 6games to defeat a kyrieless nd Loveless Cavs.

That's true! Body no be wood, but LeBron is doing well @32 and he's not showing any sign of aging. The good thing is the way he's been distributing the ball lately and getting other guys involved.
Kobe had a lot of injuries towards the end of his career probably because of his 'i can do it all alone' mentality and that really affected him.

Ibaka is a great add. His offense has greatly improved this year and I feel like the Raptors have been punching above their weight for so long. They have to get some help

lol. not on this planet. There is no team in the east that can beat the cavs - right now, Cavs are playing bored, lbj is logging too many minutes and t lue is saving up plays for the playoffs

Okay. Are you telling me you're not a Warriors fan?
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 10:58am On Feb 16, 2017
Curry has been a $$ this month of February. Klay has been very very good. I wonder what makes certain players just turn up a notch in a particular period.

Wiggins is talented but he needs to grow and Minnesota Timberwolves are providing the platform for that. I support the trade though because LeBron came back to win and he needed an experienced team. I also think Cavs would have kept him if LeBron were 25.
