    I think the Rcokets will be fighting for 8th seed. Harden hero ball won't take us far next season. The stuff in playoff between Dwight and him will carry over to next season.

    No handchecking, implement defensive 3 seconds and curtail illegal defense...

    GSW is built well to take advantage of this...almost everyone able to knock down 3s...be versatile defensively, fast have the height of around 6'6 to 6'9 to scramble for rebounds

    Well, Mozgov is a center and it was the coaches ideas to just not even play a center on court.

    As for Delly's mins...they really don't have a PG to play behind him.

    They really have no one else to play but those guys OR play their others excessive mins.

    agree.

    i too dont like the recent changes that happened (or were made happen) in the last 10yrs or so.

    bball as a sport was meant to be a big men's game and it eventually comes down to shooting the ball. it's just my understanding, tho.

    like it or not, sometimes we fans can only watch things change as they evolve.

    true.

    i believe morey has long realized this, too. he just hasnt been able to put together a team exactly the way he wants to take advantages of the changes of the game.

    Well not every team we face in the regular season are going to be from the top 4 in the conference lol.

    We will be better than 8th seed, barring any major injuries.
    Might even win the division again granted the Spurs don't have a major revival with a free agent signing.

    Even so it doesn't prevent another team from posting up the big and abusing the smaller guy.

    What does stop that are the refs letting smaller guys wrestle big guys every time down the court. So with all that + how they favor smaller guys.

    I'm not even asking for them to change the rules...just understand that when a big is bigger, he's supposed to win that matchup. They have taken out the power post game, you now have to be a finesse post player nowadays to be a efficient big.

    Is this surprising considering he was already unconscious on the court in the 4th quarter?

    I don't mean to make light of what could be a serious situation, but couldn't help it. I like Steph Curry a lot, think he's a great guy (no joke) and admire the way he's improved himself since coming into the NBA. The ridiculous media overkill on him and his family doesn't change that.
