    i mean... how demoralizing? To know the other team has some freak who can launch it from anywhere at anytime with like a forty percent chance of it going in?

    Man... Curry is blowing my mind. Cause everyone knows you get better at shooting as you get older. How good can he be? How long can he play? He already has an old man game. SMH

    I read some long article the other day about Curry. It said that statistically if the warriors just let Curry shoot it every single time, whether he was defended well or not, theoretically they would have the best offense ever. Because Curry defies the odds and his stats stay the same no matter how well he is defended, how many shots he takes, or where he shoots it from.

    Insane.

    First time watching this Myles Turner kid play. Damn what a nice pick for Indiana. Can't believe he's only 19.

    Depends much on how Curry's body handles itself...18-20 years is taxing on the body for anyone. Curry isnt built for continued punishment.

    Spurs/warriors. Monday night. It's going down.

    Maybe the greatest NBAtv game ever.

    Spurs are gonna get blown out...The Warriors will be amped up for the game and their offense is going to be perfect.

    Paul George has got to be one of the most overrated players in the league

    The Super Bowl of the nba. I can't think of a matchup that's more compelling than this one in the last 5 years.

    He has some sick spin moves and then he is smart so he fake spins after and goes in for the lay up/up and under.

    He's not overated he's just not a number one option. He's my ideal player to team up with harden.

    I still don't get the ppl that thought PG was beter than JH and would trade JH for him in a heart beat.

    That would just be dumb.

    Nobody will ever match MJs spin moves. He stung them together. When the other player felt it coming he would post fake (show the ball too even) and hit them with the fade-away or spin-stop into a step-back.

    It's all in tea-leaves, but his lithe body is definitely a good thing for longevity as he doesn't put much weight on his joints.

    Then again, one unlucky bad move and he could enter injury perjury, so it's also a big question of luck.

    If George isn't a number 1 option then neither is Harden.

    I think PG is better than Harden. He's younger, taller, better looking, works harder, doesn't disappear in the playoffs, is a 2 way player and doesn't get hung up on chicks that look like Sasquatch.

    Yea I'd trade Harden for him in a heartbeat.

    That was my point. And i agree with your view. He's a good three point shooter but he's massively overrated. He's not a great pure scorer. He's a great defender but this dude as it stands right now is not a number one option IMO.

    He's now 41% from the field, hasn't shot above 40% since November. He's only had four games above 50% shooting in the last 20+ games. He has regressed badly. As the number two option/sidekick he is a BEAST.

    Keep in mind that to this date George shoots just 42% from the field over his career.
