It amazes me that Vujacic is playing crunch time in 2015.

I may be on the minority, I have always liked Shaquille O'Neal's playful nature but I have never liked him on Inside the NBA. I just want Barkley, Kenny and Ernie.OSHA Inspector for the NBA.Comment

Coach Brad Stevens on Steph Curry: "For Curry to be shooting 46 percent from 3 is a joke."Comment

12/8 - 12/14 Games Discussion Thread
What does he even mean by that? That it's a good percentage despite some of the bogus attempts he takes?? Because otherwise there isn't much crazy about shooting 46% from 3.
Edit:
Not to mention for every wild one he takes he gets another 2-3 completely wide open ones off loose balls or broken plays.. Idk how GS does it man, maybe it's got a lot to do with Dray, Iggy, those guys and their hustle plays.. But every long rebound, loose ball, broken play, hustle play, always seems to wind up resulting in a Steph/Klay wide open 3 lol.. It's bizarre. They're so good at finding the ball when it's up for grabs. That's not even anything you can really teach, I guess they just have those special instincts.
Still baffles me that teams don't designate a guy to never leave Curry. And "baffles" is a nice way to say it, I think coaches are moronic actually for not doing it. Don't help, don't go rebound, don't leak out, nothing. Just don't leave him until your team is bringing the ball up the court.

I should have picked Golden State when purchasing my ticket package before the season. Now tickets are going for way over face value. I can't even tell you what reason I had at the time for excluding them. Should be a fun atmosphere at the Garden tonight, too.Comment

Re: 12/8 - 12/14 Games Discussion Thread
I'm interested to see how he does with Kawhi on him though, one of the best perimeter defenders in recent NBA history against the best perimeter threat in recent NBA history.
But having one guy stick to Curry just doesn't work, he's shown he can score with a hand on his face, let alone in his face. You can't double team him because they have Klay, Green, Iggy, Barnes and Barbosa who can all score from the perimeter if Curry gives it up. I'd say until he cools down you have to let him get his and hope his team mates don't turn up. It's what they did with LeBron in the Finals. They let him get 40 a night and relied upon his team mates not being up to it. Just by volume of games at some point it's gonna happen where Thompson or Green struggle to get anything going and the other team is gonna have guys making their shots for one reason or another.
One of the biggest reasons to them getting so much success and so many open shots is Ezeli though, his role has been so important because of how ferocious he is on the offensive glass.Comment

It's not about one guy guarding him one on one working. It's about one guy never leaving him so that he isn't just standing wide open quite so often.

I mean you start that even at the peewee levels. You never leave the other teams best player.
It baffles me that when a shot goes up (use Memphis as the example) Conley might go in for a rebound. Or if Draymomd were to drive around ZBo, Conley might help in a few feet.. You just don't leave Steph Curry, ever. It should be common sense. From players and coaches. Shouldn't be anything you have to change, or game plan around. It's simple common sense.
I'm not trying to say "this is how you shut him down" I'm just saying stop leaving him wide open. Dude shoots nearly 12 3's a game.. Just take away some of the open ones. Make someone else shoot it off the offensive rebound, make Draymond finish over Gasol.. Just don't leave Curry. It literally blows my mind watching teams just leave him. You should be able to touch him at all times.

Klay is OUT tonight...Celtics still don't stand a chance unless Curry takes a seat for some unknown reason.Comment

Re: 12/8 - 12/14 Games Discussion Thread
So basically he should never be open period? Like literally never open at all as long as he's on the floor?
You really believe that teams/coaches haven't thought about anything you've been saying about "stopping" Curry without also thinking about the others going off, which they have proven they can in different ways.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: 12/8 - 12/14 Games Discussion Thread
Celtics got a pretty good chance to end the streak tonight without Klay. Given how many turnovers they force and how the Warriors can get sloppy, I would say this is their biggest roadblock from reaching Christmas undefeated. Should be a good game.
