    I wonder when KD said these. Maybe, someone should remind him that the only time he won a ring was when he had a "short" guard named Stephen Curry. I am not saying that our guards are even close to how great Steph is, but the height comparison nullifies his statement. The latest small guard to be in the finals is Pacers' McConnell (sp?). KD has not done anything since he was with the Warriors so he should just focus on his job for the Rockets and leave the coaching and GM jobs to Ime and Stone.

    For all you goons who slammed me for saying DFS was a HORRIBLE pickup for 53 million….now I have KD on my side. He is also correct about Reed who absolutely gets taken to the shed defensively.

    I stand by what I stated in my post. Podcast or whatever, he needs to just focus on his game as he is paid big bucks to play.

    You know KD will read this and use it to say how fickle fans are and how quick they turn on you. Well done CF!

    not really a diss, but it’s funny he uses his name. Talking about last second plays, can’t have a guy like Dorian finney smith take it. Basically saying the main guy needs the ball in his hands with 3 seconds left on the clock.

    Dissed our midget guards and our big free agent signing. :D



    I’m joking.


    22:10 If you can’t find a good shot, you should look for the good shots early. The threes, attack the paint, try to get layups, try to get threes. When it’s 5 seconds on the clock, give the ball to your best player and if he shoots a mid-range, he shoots a mid-range but we’re not gonna waste the clock trying to look for a three, 2 seconds on the clock and we’re giving it to Dorian Finney-Smith to make a three. That’s not sustainable offense.

    43:40 I don’t know if the 6’2 and under guard is at a premium no more as a starter. Maybe as a backup. … You can’t get picked on defense. We’re playing the pick on game. If you can’t guard, they will bring you up every play. If you’re not a bulldog like Davion Mitchell, Jrue Holiday on the defensive side or offensively a flat out savant like Kyrie, I just can’t see it.

    But FVV is the bull dog build he is talking about on defense. FVV is strong enough to really make noise on defense

    Imagine Durants reaction to Cam in the game.

    14 attempts in 2 min

    I feel for some you believing that you have to be so god damn dedicated to your work that you are unable to have an opinion outside of that realm.

    Is this pod new
    I watched the interview. This was definitely made before the Rockets trade because Lebron was talking about OKC and saying they will go from being the hunting to the hunted if they win it all so this definitely dates before the trade agreement.

    He’s right.

    Size matters in basketball.

    So if you’re tiny you either need to be elite on D or O or both.

    Especially now that bigger players are developing “guard skills”.

    Hardly groundbreaking.

    Nobody is talking about on offense here. We are talking about defense, just as Durant was.
