Pretty amazing. The Warriors have successfully convinced the league that they can do no wrong.

Shoot...I guess it's true!

 

So many illegal screens, I will not acknowledge the Warriors as true champions ever. You cannot get so many advantages by the league and think you deserve all this praise.

 

Lol wow NBA. I guess teams should try to copycat bogut/draymonds screens.

 

uh, they already do. Everyone sets screens this way

 

Uh, Howard too?

Spoiler

smh

 

JaVale McGee, who was the Mavs' primary backup center as recently as last month, has not played in the last four games and has been a healthy inactive the last two. "We like him, but we've got a limited number of active spots and he's behind the other big guys," coach Rick Carlisle said. McGee has been surpassed by David Lee, Salah Mejri and Dwight Powell on Dallas' backup center depth chart.

 

Pelicans announce Bryce Dejean-Jones will require surgery tomorrow to repair a fractured right wrist. No timetable was given. Alvin Gentry said Alonzo Gee is likely to start, making this the Pelicans' 27th lineup of the season.

 

Miami Heat team president Pat Riley respectfully declined to address questions about Chris Bosh's health at tonight's annual fundraiser at AmericanAirlines Arena. Riley did say Bosh would attend, but this wasn't the "appropriate time" to discuss the situation.



Bulls say Derrick Rose is questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks because of right hamstring tendinitis. Pau Gasol is probable (flu-like symptoms).



Kristaps Porzingis was asked about Carmelo Anthony's frustration and if he's worried about losing Melo down the road. "Obviously I wouldn't want to lose him," the rookie said. "... He's very special. And we need him to do big things in the future, especially for me. I love playing alongside him so that would obviously not be something that I want."



ESPN sources say there is strong confidence within the Cavs' organization that they are in prime position to win the Joe Johnson Sweepstakes.

 

Magic off to a good start

 

I just think most of the times the dubs don't even need those moving screens. In those screen the defender is far away from the shooter anyways... Moreover, curry and klay are guys who don't even need an inch to launch reliable shots...

I feel even if they stop all the moving screens it will not hurt the splash bro at all, it's almost unnecessary but they do it out of habit and not being punished. So even if league start calling them and dray and bogut adjust and make sure to stand still, it won't hurt the dubs really.

is there anything Steph Curry cannot do?

 

WTF STEPHEN

 

OMG Steph Curry LOL .. Golden boy has the golden touch!

 

That Gordon dunk from almost FT line

Curry is just a baller. Best player on planet right now. 24 pts in the qtr. Game is close so he will get 50+ tonight.
