NBA fans....

Please...I know many of you dislike the NBA (or sports in general)...but please...this is for us who enjoy the game.

SO NO SPAM ALLOWED HERE!!!!

Thanks!



Are the Golden State Warriors flash in the pan, or are they for real?

22-10, second place in the West...had the third best record in December.

They have beaten some elite teams...their biggest win was probably in Miami against the Heat.

Keep in mind, GS center Andrew Bogut as not returned yet. And don't forget their injured sixth man either, Brandon Rush.

Starting two rookies and a second-year player...unreal, lol.

Seems like the Warriors have the Clippers' number so far...they are 2-0 against them this season so far...GS blew them out today...Stephen Curry outplayed Chris Paul...and David Lee outplayed Blake Griffin.

And speaking of Griffin...does anyone else in here thinks he's a tad overrated?

I mean, yes, he's a great athlete who can dunk like nobody's business...but compare his numbers to David Lee's numbers at the power forward position for example...it's not even close...




If David Lee and Stephen Curry are not named to the All Star Game (by coaches' picks)...something is terribly wrong with this whole damn thing.


Also...another overrated "superstar" has to be Dwight Howard...he ain't no Shaquille O'Neil...that's for damn sure.


P.S. I can't believe the Warriors are 22-10...GO DUBS!!!!!!!!


Thoughts?

I told you bro, I think they'll go as far as Curry takes them..If he's healthy he's the x-factor..His Offense is pretty sick and Lee has always been underrated , he's an easy 20-10 guy any given night.. So yes I think they're more then legit, the problem is how strong the West is, and by the time the Western conf. Champ. is done the team coming out is already beat to hell

No way Howard is overrated, it's just that having Kobe in your team is hard, he takes all the offense and Howard likes to be the center of attention...when they do get it together it'll be scary

I've always said Blake is overrated...great athlete and can dunk the hell out of the ball but that's about it, if he doesn't have someone like CP to set him up he's garbage..He can't shoot for ****

The Knicks make me sad. They started out playing like crazy,then they're starting to remember they're the Knicks.

brace yourself , it's only gonna get worse with Amare back..they're not that bad though

Gasol is the key to the Lakers success. He plays slow and out of position.

The only reason the Lakers are 15-16 is because Kobe has carried this team like he usually does

[starsky]

just saw the game last night with the two west coast teams and the warriors played way better ball than the clippers. curry is their key just as long as he avoids his usual ankle problems.

I like the Steph Curry/Klay Thompson duo. Both were steals in the draft.

It's no secret I'm not any big NBA fan. But, I do know the game of basketball. I know it very, very well. Golden State is the kind of team I can get behind because they aren't trying every night to get on ESPN's top ten plays or on some highlight reel. They play for each other and to win. Griffin's lack of an outside shot and passing will eventually cost them games. I guarantee NBA scouts notebooks all list Blake's shooting range as dunk. Lob City will only last for so long till fundamentals of the game become a factor and they will be forced to shoot the ball. I don't like their chances if that happens.

I am happy for David Lee, loved him when he was a Knick. Good hustle guy that plays hard every night. I think the best thing the Warriors did was trade Monte Ellis.

Talk has once again started about the Sacramento Kings possibly being sold to Chris Hanson and moving to Seattle. We haven't had an NBA franchise since what used to be the Sonics went to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder. Not much love for the Thunder up here.
