    Could have more to do with their team having less flopper artists on it (Okur, AK, Harpring, Giricek). Flopping was Yao Ming's kryptonite.

    This will be a BIG game for seeding. If we win it will give us a 2 game cushion for 8th seed and will give us the tie breaker against the Jazz.

    We need to get hot. Beating the Jazz wouldn't hurt.

    They basically have a perfect 3 man trio in curry/klay/green

    They play pick n roll with curry and green either curry gets a shot or green gets the pocket pass and takes it to the hoop or dishes it out to and open Klay who can either take the 3 or attack off the dribble from a scrambling defense.

    It's just the perfect combination of players for how the NBA is played now a days.

    You trade harden out for curry and the offense runs pretty much the same that team would still be tops in the west same goes for Westbrook or cp3.

    Curry is really good but he's in a perfect situation for his game.

    I'm sure we can easily duplicate Curry and Thompson's effectiveness from 3.

    More shots for Ariza!!!!!

    again, no this isn't true at all. in fact completely false. the offense would in no way be the same because none of those guys are able to do what curry does. replacing a player with another doesn't automatically yield the same results. especially when they aren't even similiar players. it's truly ridiculous how people think this is true.

    I don't get how the Pistons can void a trade because of a physical when the guy has played a few D League games and is ready to come back to the NBA. He clearly is fit enough to play.

    Big game here for playoff seeding and to determine which team gets swept by GSW first.

    Jazz fans are like the worst people in the NBA.

    My most hated team after the Ponies and Blazers.
