Not sure what team would super max James

No team will, he wouldn't be eligible with anyone but the Cavs. He'll prolly keep doing what he's been doing, taking one year max contracts.

Spurs brought it to them last year up until Kawhi got hurt. This game is an example of why I believed the Spurs would have kept the lead had Kawhi not gotten hurt. Warriors wilt when they know the other team is not going to be intimidated by them which was happening with the Spurs until Zaza broke Kawhi. It's one the reasons why I don't respect the Warriors. They are talented but they are a very soft team. In the future look for other teams to be physical with them. They don't really have an enforcer. Draymond is a fake tough guy while David West will be gone in a year.

Also notice how Curry and the rest of them didn't show off tonight or dance at any point of the game. It's clear OKC's physicality got to them.

Better he doesn't.

Basketball is a matchups matter.

I truly believe Kawhi can match KD and LMA outplay Dray. Also Danny could have one of his great defensive performances on Curry. I still believe it.

Clippers about to extend Lou Williams before the trade deadline. Guess they might be keeping him and Jordan.

Hopefully Kiwi is getting healthy...

Curry just has a voodoo doll. Been breaking players for three seasons now.

yes, only we just need to replace the dwarfs with 6'7 '' 6'8 '' two-way wings (which have been found in the gleague by some teams), and the slow bigmens for physical players that can create decent screens for our players and defend the pick and roll against good teams

**Emperor** · 02-07-2018

Would much rather see what Murray can do on Curry and have Verde concentrate on Klay. If Gay is healthy he can stay on Iggy.

**tbdog** · 02-07-2018

Iggy looks done. Spurs guards are just not versatile. Murray can be though. Needs to work o his shot.

With Prozingas going down I wonder if Knicks are still interested in dealing Hernagomez...

It’s a good thing you noticed the weak screens.

The thing that peeves me from Lamarcus the most, truly is how bad of a screen setter he is. He never wants to make contact. Always slips the screen not really freeing his guard and I do believe better screen setting is the reason Manu and Dijon have better PnR rapport with Gasol.

True, he's no Tim Duncan, but it's worth noting that his Screen Assists have vastly improved this season, so he's definitely giving more effort there.
