He never really broke out, and I am not sure why. He had a good post game, had a sure banker midrange jumper. Was it defense, game smarts? I really dont know, but I felt he should have had more impact in the league than he did. I dont think going to the Spurs was a good move either - it was a small market, with boring basketball, which killed his visibility. On the right team, he could have done more.

Anyhow, life with fam is more important. I hope he enjoys his retirement! 15years is not beans. Still a great career anyhow you look at it

Bro,I think there was a period when he wanted to leave the Spurs but Popovich didn't allow him.

Over the last month, the Warriors have Infact played better than they did when they started the season. I think the mentality going into the season after Klay went down affected their ability to compete. Make no mistake, this Warriors team is a very good defensive team, however, they have struggled immensely on offense especially whenever Steph is out. Coming into the season and without Klay, they was a lack of clarity as to how to the style of play.

They also have to figure out A. Wiggin’s situation. I am not sure he is a good fit for the style the Warriors want to continue to play. A lot of people have reservations about the move and it’s obvious the trade has not given the Warriors what they expected.

Finally, the core of the Warriors team (Chef, Klay and D. Green) are aging.. The Warriors have to make a decision on how they approach the future (draft/ off season trades) else they will struggle to be relevant especially with teams like Suns/ Utah/ Nuggets remaining young. Three seasons ago I think, I made a post after Curry turned 30 on the importance of managing Curry’s health specifically his ankle.. I will look for that post..

They won't. But at this time these clubs don't really give a hoot about FIFA or UEFA. This is a mutiny, a deserting of some sorts. And they have the upper hand because these are the biggest clubs in the world. They are/were the ones making UEFA what it actually is/was. Right now UEFA and FIFA should be the ones on their knees begging for a dialogue, not issuing threats.

Yes o! NBA is back finally.
Teams to watch out for in the east:
Miami Heat
Chicago bulls and
Boston Celtics. ( The Newyork knicks are still not close to these teams yet)

Teams to watch out for in the west:
Okalahoma city thunders and
Mephis grizzles

Unless lakers get a point guard and if Dwight goes there, they wont win the west. Clippers will be good but they wont be able to match OKC. I expect OKC and Miami or Bulls to Dominate the conferences in the short regular season
Who won it in season 11/12?

Without KD and Harden? With a buzzer beater? I know Victor Oladipo and Butler were out but Nets went into their rotation, led by 6 points and went scoreless in the last 4 mins to lose by a buzzer beater.

Jokic should be the mvp. He's doing a tad of everything. Assists, scoring, rebounds, blocks n game winners, between he's hardly missed any games this seaaon n he's been consistently dropping Good numbers and doing a bit of everything.

Maybe it's the way I wrote that. I mean, he's reminding me of his unanimous MVP season.

When James Harden was lighting up the league in 18/19 nobody was shouting MVP (except me of course, my receipts are here smiley). Man literally went 32 games scoring at least 30, averaging 41 in the process. But here we are with Curry going on an 11-game streak scoring 30 and his shameless fanboys are screaming MVP. Not to even add to the fact that he's languishing in 9th position. In 18/19 Harden finished 4th with a record if 53-29, just 4 games behind 1st placed Warriors.

That was the biggest robbery in the history of this game. Las las this game na about love and hate. Harden isn't as loved as Curry. If it were Curry that had those numbers in 18/19 he's winning the MVP straight up. Fans don't like Harden, and that's just the plain truth.

A healthy Brooklyn squad will tear Miami to shreds. Their danger right now is injury as that team just feels jinxed
