    proud of how far we have come, whiffed on bosh, didn't keep parsons, i expected to be a first round out again, we have defied the odds and i really hope we can continue to do so. We will be a tough out if nothing else.

    Believe!

    The real question is : Has Curry become a good defender or is the system that hides him?

    The system allows him to get away with playing prigioni defense because they have excellent defensive wings

    Yeah, because the Bucks faced the offenses from the west on a nightly basis...um, ok yeah. :rolleyes: This is where stats can lie. The Bucks compiled most of their defensive numbers against the Jr. Circuit, otherwise known as the Eastern Conference. The Bucks wouldn't finish in the Top 12 in the west.

    Uh oh...fan face off. They wouldn't finish in the top 12 MAYBE in the standings in the west. Why? because their offence is a joke. Their defence is the second best or third best behind Utah after the all star break and you can only defend your opponent not someone you don't face. Most lengthy lineup in the league + best defensive duo of wings => top defence. Deal with it. They got better defence than the Rockets and worse than the Warriors.

    Would be nice to steal one of the first two games. I just don't want this to be ugly.

    Yeah I think so too. Though he has improved a little bit. Still a bad defender. He will get exposed though sooner or later.

    Whoa the SI cover said Warriors closing in on the first finals? They still have another full series to play. Hopefully that SI cover Jinx is true

    If you can give me their defensive efficiency against West teams I might concede. The East is a joke.

    Saw Ariza warming up and looks like we're going with the Red kits again. I think the team thinks the Ketchup and Mustard are jinxed because we haven't used them after getting blown out twice in 'em by the Clips.
