Question for the house
A40:
This Wemby 3pt spamming is going to hinder him from greatness. On the offensive end at least and that will just be a damn shame.

If you're not making your 3's at 38-40% clip you really shouldn't be taking more than 3 or 4.

It's a mystery to me. You don't play perimeter defense so why are you spamming 3s on offense
I think Wemby will do well to pattern his game after Dirk Nowitzki. Similar body build with a flair for perimeter shooting but mix it up with a good midrange jumper.
I don't think Wemby will ever morph into a paint bruiser like shaq. He doesn't have that physique or dog in him. grin

That reminds me.

Dirk Vs Durant
If Durant was to retire today.
Who do your rank higher all time in terms of having a better career .

Skrrrrrrr:
Nobody says the warriors shouldn't improve but the crashouts I'm seeing here is unprecedented....
You guys sound totally hopeless. I was literally defending steph sometime ago against one of us who says that steph should change his style of play. Same style of play that got us 4 titles. Lebron got 4 too from 4 different teams. It's OK to cry but you guys are wailing right now and it looks kinda corny....
Read what you wrote then my response again and stay on topic. Anyone complaining about the Warriors front office behaviour in recent years and expecting Steph to put pressure on them to make the team better is thinking and speaking right. That "Being greedy" talk is totally wrong. A championship capable team playing to win is fundamental knowledge when it comes to sports.

Legendary announcer. 91 years still calling games. Much respect

Spags hasn’t learnt anything today. Hurts has punished him and his defense everytime he called they tried to blitz Hurts.

I will definitely miss his voice and knowledge of the game, especially the history of the game. Today’s game was his last call.

Mahomes no hard to beat. Teams just don't finish him off when they have him on the ropes.

He's actually been trash all 5 first half of Superbowls just that this year he jam who give am him size
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:22am On Feb 10, 2025
Spagnolo no dey hear word with these blitz wen him dey call. Hurts smokes them once again with that TD

You make a good point. But he can model his game a little after Jokic. Take less 3's and post up more. Of course when the 3 is there you can take it. But when you start taking more 3s than prime Klay we have to ask what exactly is your strategy

I take Dirk over Durant every day of the week. What he did in 2011 KD has never come close to accomplishing. He took two teams to the NBA finals with no All star, in the damn Western conference

That run in 2011. Beat the Lakers off a back to back then beat KD, Westbrook and Harden, then prime Bron, Bosh and Wade with Jason Terry ffs. That ring na like 2 or 3 for my eye

I dare say that has been his only call throughout this playoffs and to your point, he has met someone who has stayed calm and punished him severely.

AD to miss multiple weeks potentially a month. God don't like ugly tongue

Just for the way the owner and GM have gone out their way to disgrace Luka this is exactly what they deserve

Omo the comments from that Mavs owner shock me! Did they hate Luka that much?

Disgraceful. They will be irrelevant for a long time once Kyrie and AD are gone (likely soon)

Good luck attracting any player worth a damn

Stupid people. Someone who took you to a Finals appearance at 25. You cost him 9 figures and shit on him as a professional

Warriors don gamble again, carrying 36-year-old Jimmy Butler with a one-year extension. Dem lose Wiggins, Schröder, paripesa, Kyle Anderson, plus first-round pick. Kuminga still never shine, and now dem get two old supermax players. This move fit backfire badly, but make we see as e go be.

At least we have someone who will win Free throws for us. What a relief.

Steph has gone back to being good. I love him when he isn't opening his dirty mouth to endorse that witch that . . .

Anyways, welcome Jimmy we love you.

KD, you are forgiven. I love you bro.

Mavs karma is really coming heavy. All their bigs are now injured. AD, Gafford, Lively
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:49am On Feb 12, 2025
I keep remembering how peak CP3 almost paired with Kobe and NBA vetoed it. An injustice that will not be remedies in this lifetime embarassed

They don't deserve pity. Meanwhile if the warriors had any sense, they should have traded TJD, Moody or more future picks for Vucevic or any other legit big. It seems Chicago is done with the experiment giving away Lavine and DeRozan. Kuku strip them off Vucevic and get a big. Go all in for the last hurrah. Even though Vucevic is 35, he has played 52 out of 54 ames, averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds. Dude is wasting away in Chicago. Give him a reason to dump Chicago by dangling a championship in front of him.

Mehh. Warriors title window is completely shut. Unless Steph becomes 3-4 years younger.

Vucevic is durable but a defensive sieve. He's not stopping nobody.

You can only field so many guys in their mid 30s to try to compete
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:41am On Feb 14, 2025
Gafford out 6 weeks. Nico Harrison must have offended God himself with this Luka trade

Im not understanding this format. You mean some all stars are going to have to play 2 games in one night? lol. Can we just go back to east vs west and leave it at that
