one of the worst quarters we played all season and we ended up being up by 1.
Curry on fire so far. I still can't believe he fell in the draft to us

Well it did take the Thabeet pick and Kahn doing his T-Wolves fuck-up. But it's not like it was obvious Steph would ever be this good. I remember Steph had Davidson in the NIT tournament where they got knocked out by my boy Patty Cakes who put 23 and 10 on him. He could always shoot like, but it's not like with shooting under 40% in his final college year (all be it taking almost every shot on his team) had everything pointing to him being the greatest shooter of all time like he probably is.

Guys like Harden, Evans, and Rubio over Curry I can understand. And still, remember when his ankles were made of glass?

He has really come far since his college days. I remember questions about his ability to play point guard and his size. I also think the Warriors deserve some credit, because I don't think he would have evolved into what he is now if he went to some other teams in the lottery.

Jonny Flynn

Hey I can't knock Flynn, he's a Melbourne Tiger.

You're right though, credit to GSW. They've had an up tempo culture for a long time now and that has really allowed Curry to develop his offense to where it is.

Bullshit call against Chicago there.

Refs licking up to LeBron again.

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #765 on:** May 15, 2015, 02:08:56 am »

Fucking hell, the Bulls are awful. Cleveland have done the square root of fuck all and are still up by 13.

Bulls crowd know it's over too.

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #766 on:** May 15, 2015, 02:14:43 am »

Hopefully Harden and Co. can make the next game more competitive.

Bulls have been dreadful

He had quite a lot of buzzer beaters and shooting long range three's in college.
What actually surprised me was his playmaking ability.
At the time I called our fans idiot for booing the owners when they traded Monta Ellis. I think that move helped us a lot especially in terms of getting minutes and development of Steph and Klay.

It appears so my friend, although I dislike the Clippers they have surprised me in the playoffs.

Romeo Sensini · « **Reply #775 on:** May 15, 2015, 06:33:43 am »

That was an atrocious 4th quarter for the Clippers. Epic choke. Happy I witnessed it.

Redinho · « **Reply #776 on:** May 15, 2015, 06:40:11 am »

What the fuck

I stopped watching it thinking the game was over.

What a choke.

elsewhere · « **Reply #777 on:** May 15, 2015, 07:15:59 am »

And funnily this all happened when Harden was on the bench. Josh Smith of all people actually started the fire. Corey Brewer was big time too.

child-in-time · « **Reply #778 on:** May 15, 2015, 08:59:08 am »

Really disappointed with the Bulls.

Yiannis · « **Reply #779 on:** May 15, 2015, 09:32:02 am »

Happy for the Bulls.

Didn't see the game but clearly the Clippers committed suicide. They deserve to go out now just for that kind of loss.

Great shot that, so unlucky with the timing.

When Golden State are on, they are ON. Curry and co dropping threes like they are layups.

He's outrageously good. That shot was ALL net. From about 70ft.

Should've been a foul but what happened afterwards was just pure beauty. The best thing bout was that he knew it was all net when the ball was about 10ft out. 8-11 from downtown.

Well done Clips, knock out the Spurs just to let this assault to my eyes into the West Finals.

Really expected the Clippers to make it to the final after they knocked out the Spurs, they've bottled it massively .

I only saw it once but it seemed like he released that shot in time. At the very least it seemed a line-ball decision - do they not favour the shooter in those circumstances? And although I wasn't watching live, I can imagine it kind of ruined the theatre of the occasion, having a video review end the series. It illustrates the major drawback of technology in sport, and I wonder if FIFA and co. were watching.

The second angle they showed seemed to suggest he still had it in his hand but the first angle looked like he just let it go. There didn't seem to be much argument in the end though from the Wizards bench and players which tells it's own story. Unless they are 100 percent though they can't reverse it, so maybe they had other angles of it that confirmed that he didn't release it in time. It was a hell of a shot though regardless.

Not having John Wall for those few games killed the Wizards. If he was fit they would have taken the series, IMO.

Clippers need to make some moves now. This was their season, IMO. They've once again bottled it.

child-in-time · « **Reply #794 on:** May 18, 2015, 07:48:26 am »

I for once thank the Clippers for knocking San Antonio out, I knew they are losing this one once they blew the 19pt lead last time.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #795 on:** May 19, 2015, 07:43:59 pm »

Who do we think is getting the #1 overall?

Gotta be the Knicks. Rooting for Philly or Minny, though.

child-in-time · « **Reply #796 on:** May 19, 2015, 07:56:49 pm »

The Knicks are the worst run franchise ever, honestly hope they don't get it. I'll be fine with either Minnesota or Sacramento.

It's going to be the Cavs.

None of the guys this year blow me away, so I don't care too much who gets the first. For schadenfreude, I rather see the Lakers and Knicks not get it.

This is essentially the playoffs for us Sixers fans.

Ideally I want the Lakers get #6 and the Heat #11, which would mean the picks go to the 76ers.

Not huge on Okafor but I like the look of Mudiay, Towns, Hezonja & Porzingis. Say you get #1, who do you think the Sixers draft?

Would love to see the Raps trade up and grab Hezonja or something.

Really? I like Okafor. Man is a basketball player rather than an athlete. Has touch. All too rare in big guys.
