    That dude is a legit Top 3 player going for the Best player title in a couple of years or months

    How is that under the radar
    The team is not consistent enough for whatever reasons

    I don't understand how Draymond and Barnes have not been fined for their flops in Game 3. I mean, if Terry's is a fine, there's clearly are.

    The Warriors are the darlings. They can do no wrong. I thought people would have realized that by now.

    He's "only" averaging 30 ppg right now so it's doubtful. If it's over in 4 games, he has to score 45+ to average 34 ppg.

    Davis is probably the smoothest big man I've seen in a minute. His skills rival Zo Mourning, a joy to watch on the basketball court.

    Congrats to the Warriors. Curry is the engine to that crazy frantic Warriors offense. Curry boy MVP!

    Steve Nash is a better passer than Curry.
    Both are great shooters but Curry can get his shot off pretty much at any time.
    Curry's the better defender by a fair margin.
    Would flip a coin to decide who to take if you forced me to pick.

    Zo was super on D, but there is no comparison on the offensive end between Davis and him.

    How can you say this? They seem to be about equal. Just because curry plays the passing lanes and has a much better defensive team doesn't mean he is that much of a better defender.

    His stroke is better than Zo ever had already. Dirkish.
    Pels will be a load to handle. They just need another superstar.

    Because I've watched Warriors games this season. I know Steph usually takes the easier defensive assignment, he plays to his team's strengths and funnels players towards the big men. Nash just used to get beaten 1v1 on a regular basis...

    Davis is the guy, but they have to chop some dead weight off that team. EG, Evans, and Asik were not very good. Coaching was also poor.

    So the system makes him a better defender by a fair margin?
