He started Koufos for 82 games and raved about his plus minus and how underrated he is and it only takes two games (which they split!) to bump him down to 10th man and make a small forward his center.

Matt OTM x 10000 nice summary of why George is good but not truly elite

fuckin w the rotation is simultaneously his greatest strength and weakness

i fucking hate basketball

nuggets rotations are just pitiful

still looking for the defensive speed from Andre Miller that Reggie Miller was promising

really think nuggets need to just go 7 deep or so and keep its best players out there

it was important to start Evan Fournier and bench him after 6 minutes. It set a tone.

These Falling Skies promos do a really good job of making me forget the one time I tried to watch it

curry is just ridiculous!

"Jonny has electricity crackling out of him," Kahn says of the 6-0 quicksilver out of Syracuse.

omg steph goat

whatever

maybe don't let curry shoot, i don't know

it's a pretty tough concept

what can they do he just pulls up out of nowhere off the dribble I don't know how you stop it

'Among the people in the industry, I sense Jonny Flynn had vaulted in front of Stephen during the draft workout process. That's the way we saw it, too.'

that's a 3 wow

what is the nuggets offense right now exactly

I wouldn't call it "basketball" exactly.

karl has to be fired after this series, right? is there any excuse for leaving curry wide open so many times? you can tell people not to do that right?

Nuggets are being coached by Doug Moe via text

god i love watching the dubs in the playoffs, no home court like it in the league

“I’m going to step away from everything for a couple weeks and clear my head before I do or talk about anything, as far as next season,” Howard told reporters following the Lakers’ 103-82 loss to the Spurs at the Staples Center. “I think I deserve that. That’s what I’m going to do.”

man i thought the warriors were cooked when lee went down, theyve been awful w/o him all year, lol

how were the nugz defensive metrics during the year. seems like they justcant play any perimeter d at all

they were not this bad

whole team just looks a mess

mark jackson outcoaching george karl w/o lee smh

i guess den IS missing their great big leaping white gazelle

Sunday, when asked about his expanding shot selection, Curry replied, "There are some [shots] that might look a little sketchy to most critics of basketball, but I feel very confident and my coach has confidence in me, and my teammates do."

this is pretty much what we all thought the warriors could be if steph turned into the superstar we knew he was and bogut played like the old bogut

amazing to me that steph breaks so many ankles while his own ankles are so fragile

just like that, jason collins is gay

nice line: Jarron and I weren't allowed to listen to rap until we were 12. After our birthday I dashed to Target and bought DJ Quik's album Quik Is the Name. I memorized every line.

(Note to Shaq: My flopping has nothing to do with being gay.)

(fwiw i posted the collins story in the offseason thread because i figured it'd get buried in this one with how often it's updated)

there's a sports and gays thread too
