*looks both ways to see if deej is lurking* I've always thought Thibs kinda looks like middle aged deej lmao

was anyone

Me. -__-

I checked the score in the third quarter and was all, "Whew! Don't have to tune into this one."

i put 10 bucks on GS +1200 when they were down like 17 with about 10 minutes left :)

wow excellent foresight man

I can't do math/only barely understand betting lines how much of a payoff is that?

$120 right?

+1200 means if you put down $100 you'd win win $1,200 (i think), so at $10 the win would be $120

yes

good move kev

ha i wasn't gonna miss the 10 bucks and those odds looked nuts, figured if any team could put together a 10-minute run like that it'd be them

def made the ending even more fun lol

Well played k3v

I watched the first half of this game last night and thought ehh I guess I'll zip through it on the dvr early this morning and was rewarded with crazy draymond antics Steph going nuts and Monty blowing a 20 point lead and overtime at home

If they get swept Nola should really just say look I know we promised to keep you if you made the playoffs but you weren't really in the playoffs if u know what we mean and just fire him anyway

Btw draymond with the push that got him fouled out just zipping across the court and into the tunnel without stopping was hysterical

Would have been even better if he just kept going thru the locker room, grabbed a bag or something and just jogged right out of the arena

that was an awful call tho tbf

interesting this trend continued somewhat even into the nba draft curry going 5 spots behind the legendary thabeet https://sports.yahoo.com/news/how-stephen-curry-went-from-ignored-college-recruit-to-possible-nba-mvp-011555328.html

it is so crazy that no one wanted him in college tho i mean he can shoot like crazy shdnt that have been enough

one of the ultimate examples of size bias

yeah but he's not even that short. he's 6'3"!

looks 12 years old bias

hot mom bias

not height, but weight

in this case

he is quite slight

have been a number of great college shooters who floundered as pros. I thought he'd be good but goddamn he is a 1st ballot HOFer, didn't see that coming.

i was very amped on him but def wld never have suspected hed win an mvp

tho i did repeatedly call him the next steve nash on this website iirc

god save antawn jamison -- 2010 regular season thread

B-)

dang felton was in and out quick, this is yr moment devin harris

League agreed with us that curry got fouled on the game tying three last night, good job board

ya that was obvs i liked that they didnt call it tho

I'd bet they call it super late if he missed tho

jeeesus rox shooting 71% and up 37-30 in q1

lol tru xp

starting to get some momentum back but dirk staaaaay missing shots :/

42 in the first and they have a six point lead wow

ya that was obvs i liked that they didnt call it tho

oh i didn't even know there was a clips spurs tonight excellent thank you

this got exciting in a hurry!

hubie totally pulling for the mavs like not even hiding it lol, can't blame him for supporting the heavy underdog

love jj & monta relentlessness

curry going 5 spots behind the legendary thabeet

everyone seems to be forgetting that curry had glass ankles for his first several seasons w/ gsw and he looked like a talented guy who'd never survive the beating of an nba season. it is still not well-explained how he has overcome those weak ankles or if they are still lurking and ready to take him down.

curry only missed significant time from the ankles in one season

also not unusual for young players to grow out of non structural chronic injuries as they adjust to the league

and not sure how injuries curry suffered in the nba relates to his draft placement

Yeah. It only seemed like several seasons' worth of ankle/foot injuries. Here's Wikipedia on Curry's 2011-2012 season:

"In May 2011, Curry had surgery on his right ankle to repair torn ligaments he got from multiple sprains during the 2010-11 season. Curry was ready to play by the start of the lockout-shortened season with his new head coach Mark Jackson but he sprained his surgically repaired right ankle during an exhibition game at Sacramento just days before the season started. He still started the season opener vs. the Clippers, but only had 4 points on 2-12 shooting. The next game vs. the Chicago Bulls, Curry had 21 points and 10 assists to lead the Warriors to a 99-91 victory, but rolled his right ankle and missed the next game. He came back for 3 games and sprained his right ankle yet again on January 4. He returned January 20 for the next 16 games before he strained a tendon in his right foot in a game vs. the Phoenix Suns on February 22. On March 5, Curry returned vs. the Washington Wizards for 4 games before he had season ending arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle."

the only interesting thing to come out of this raptors-wizards series is that otto porter has looked halfway decent and potentially like an asset

and now he's dead RIP

o well

not sure how injuries curry suffered in the nba relates to his draft placement

it doesn't. the quote was more to indicate I was changing the subject back to curry's development. it wasn't well-chosen to illustrate my point, as you noted.
