    Curry reminds me a lot of Hakeem, in that I can set back and watch this guy pwn any player at any time, and he does it almost every game.

    Curry's talent for making baskets is so far above everybody else in the league it is nearly unreal.

    In the long run Curry will be a better player than Harden. I wouldn't have said so before but James has been on a slide both mentally and physically. At times he looks like he doesn't have that mental edge that Curry does...

    Landry > Lee

    Denver is in dangerous territory. They still might be able to pull of a 3 game win streak. When Golden State's shooting is on fire, they are very hard to beat. And it will only take one game out of the next three to eliminate the Nuggets.

    Too bad, I was hoping Denver would come out of the West.

    How about that Carl Landry? 14 ppg and almost 5 rpg in a little over 20 mpg this post-season and only making $4 million per year. What a great asset!

    Still pissed about that trade. I'm pretty sure we could have thrown someone else in there. 5 years since and still haven't been able to replace my favorite rockets player this last decade. ...

    I would never see me saying this but I would rather build my franchise with Curry over Harden right about now, the way this kid is playing is amazing.

    I can't believe none of us wanted the Nuggets and wanting the Spurs. G.Karl has a history of losing 1st rounds and Popovich has a history of throwing regular season games to rest starters, so they can be fresh in the playoffs. If Nukkets go game 7, they should win it.

    Lots of empty seats in the Pepsi Center right now... late arriving crowd due to early start, or have the fans given up?

    Bogut was doing that 2 hand shove out of bounds last game too, but they didn't call it.

    That's because it can, and it does.

    Golden State looks content to just try to close it out at home in Game 6. No effort tonight. Figured this would happen.

    True statement, but when Denver brings energy, edge and effort, GS doesn't have a chance. IMO, besides Steph Curry's outside shooting, this series is more about the Nuggets slacking off than anything else. If the Warriors advance, they will be lucky to win one game against the Spurs.
