    Is there a more interesting, more emotionally-driven superstar in the league? I LOVE watching this guy play. In fact, I love watching the GSW play. They're volatile, they're unpredictable, they freelance on the court, they have fun, they wear their emotions on their sleeves...they entertain me!

    If this guy wanted to, he can be the best PG in the league. His biggest obstacle will always be his health. But I enjoy the heck out of watching him (and his team, with SJax, Barnes and the rest) play ball.

    This Bulls game is turning out to be more interesting than I thought...

    The Warriors are very fun to watch, especially at home with their crazy crowd. BD is something else. I didn't realize his career high was only 40. The Bulls put up a bigger fight than I expected, but you knew they wouldn't close this game out if it was close.

    Man the entire GSW team is CLUTCH.. SO fun to watch!

    Especially B Diddy. He's SO CLUTCH!! Man.. Him and Kobe are two of the most exciting players to watch in crunch time when called to make a big shot!

    Anyone else remember when Francis was better than Baron Davis? Amazing how Steve is not even a rotation player anymore and Davis is in his prime and one of the top players in the game.

    GSW is my favorite team to watch and 2nd fav team. It has nothing to do with their style. Its all about their competitive spirit, intensity, and passion. Amazing team.

    I still can't believe that GS basically stole Baron from New Orleans. I mean Speedy Claxton and Dale Davis for Baron Davis?

    That's basically what fans here in the BBS want to do with Tmac.

    Baron was injury prone and had a bad back also. His value was at an all time low and people thought he wouldn't be able to do what he regularly did on the court anymore. The hornets were also doing bad that year and wanted to rebuild.

    I think Bdiddy is the best PG in the league currently. I know it's high praise but the guy abuses Steve Nash on a regular basis, he's much more experienced than Cp3 and Deron Williams. Younger than JKidd and the guy's clutch and has HEART! I wish Stevie could resurrect his career like Baron. ::: Dreams :::

    You missed Chris Paul abusing the entire GS team, including BD, a week or so ago. He took over the game in the 4th quarter and the Warriors were helpless to stop him.

    Dave_78, even during SF's earlier stint as a Rocket, I always thought BD was a better player even though Francis' stats were better. He had some conditioning/weight issues early in his career that hindered him. But he's always been a better passer and more intelligent player.

    From my understanding, the relationship between the BD and the Hornets was completely broken and they had to move him. BD has a very strong personality and has always been hard on coaches, until Nellie went to the Warriors. Especially poor old Mike Montgomery, who had no chance of corralling him because BD didn't respect him at all.

    That step-back jumper going to his left, which he can hit from 3 point range, should be patented.

    I think I went back and forth with you on Francis being better than BDiddy. I was convinced SF3 was the better player. Sure looks like at this point, I was definitely wrong. BDiddy's career has gone north and SF3's has gone in the toilet. I still can't believe SF3 is as bad as everybody makes him out to be. I think if he was healthy, and if he ever gets over his knee problem, that he can still be a top 10 pg in the league. But Davis has taken it to another level. I really think he has to be the illigetimate son of Clyde Frazier and a former Laker girl or something.

    GS plays HORRID basketball, just dumb dumb dumb, no sense of timing or proper play....but they are the gutsyiest, carefree team on the planet.

    Just amazing to watch.

    I never considered SF better then bdiddy. Baron was able to take the hornets to the playoffs a couple times before he was shipped off. Their stats might be similar, but their accomplishments aren't.

    yes, but the majority of people did. If i remember correctly davis had a slow start to his rookie season while francis was consistent enough to share ROY honors with brand

    Davis had major knee injury and surgery, I believe, in his rookie year. It was early in his career, and it took him awhile to get over it.

    The Hornets were lucky to get the deal they did-- I remember hearing, at the time, that Mullin tried to get the Hornets to eat Dunleavy's contract in exchange for BDiddy. (That Dunleavy is playing like an all-star this season shouldn't make us forget how awful he was-- maybe because he's rumored to be a huge alkie. But I digress).

    This may be my bias I don't think the Hornets regret that trade.

    The warriors are possible the most exciting team to watch. They are one of my favorite teams (2nd) Bdiddy is greatness and should be an allstar. And as for Davis and Francis well francis was better at one point but not by much and now you cant even mention them in the same sentence.
