I can legitimately see an average basketball fan confusing his mom for his wife, especially when they randomly pan in on his family during the game. In regards to the thread topic, I lol'ed when I watched it live. Wasn't anything though.
I'm not really on the "Nick Johnson is our savior" bandwagon, but maybe we should turn this around and give him some time in game 2. Just play the video of Curry acting pissy about this thing and tell Nick, "It appears Mr. MVP doesn't think you're worthy of sharing his territorial bubble as our team captain. What do you think of that, Nick?" He doesn't even have to shoot. Just let him be a pest and ask him to do his best Patrick Beverly impersonation.
Its a shame Nick is such a liability on offense and isnt quite there yet when it comes to running the offense. His defensive tenacity and energy is exactly what this team needs right now. I mean he could get some minutes and hound Curry like crazy but I am sure Curry will bait him into some fouls and on the other end his man will roam and double Harden. I dont think I've seen Nick hit a jumper yet. Now unless he runs the offense then he needs to attack the rim - thats the one offensive strength he has that we do not have too much of outside of Harden. I am not going to question McHale on his rotation though but it would be nice to see him in for maybe like 2-4 minutes to see how he fares. like last night when the Rockets had their big lead would have been the best case scenario.
If we didn't do it to disrespect him, and Nick's been going out there before, that makes him look pretty pretentious and egotistical.... maybe it's not all about you, breh. If we did it on purpose to piss him off, that was all too easy. Don't know that it helped, but perhaps this hubris is a weakness we can exploit further.

^Yeah, non story here. Feigan tweeted that Nick has been doing that since Bev was hurt. Even Curry's reaction looks out of context
**** curry, fake mvp, never liked his game, all play ground bull****. Sure, he can shoot the ball. But without his teammate setting moving screens, he ain't ****. The rockets gotta play dirty and physical with him

He needs to save his disgust for the barber who gave him a haircut that makes his head look like an acorn. The hairline is cut almost past his ears.
I tell you... Curry, the Warriors and their fans are sure picking something so stupid to get all up in arms about. I have watched a ton of NBA games over many years and I didn't even know that have "captains" handshake. Maybe Curry should go back to junior high... it is probably important there...
I was reading some comments from Warriors fans yesterday before the game. Several fans were talking about how disrespectful it was to pick the Warriors in 6 because there was absolutely no way the Rockets could win two games. These fans are psychotic, easily the most obnoxious fans of any NBA team in the last 10 years.
Curry is such a baby. Respect your fellow players even if you don't think they are worthy to shake your hand.
Sun Times reported that he felt dissed. He was shown shaking his head at the sight of Nick Johnson. Maybe he was doubting his manhood standing next to Nick and suddenly felt "small". http://national.suntimes.com/national-sports/nba/7/72/1148809/rockets-disrespect-steph-curry/
Curry thinks he's bigger than the NBA fraternity. What an entitled POS. It's weird but with all of the antics going on lately it's like he has a marketing firm building his image but in reality he's an entitled brat.
