    Iguodala is a nut job sometimes.

    Draymond is their whip hand I believe.

    Shaun Livingston will go for 28 and GS will beat Spurs by 4

    The Iguodala comments are ridiculous. And you wonder why our problems with racism seem to only be getting worse these days.

    I wonder when the last time GSW wasn't the #1 team in the west standings. They've had to be all season and last season right? Maybe 2014-2015 season?

    They started the season 0-1.

    Hornets - Pelicans in overtime. Davis having an awesome game while Boogie has played just 25 minutes and scored 11 points.

    GSW-SA was the most hilarious basketball game I've ever watched.

    Russ sitting tight at 10.1 assists per game with I think 16 games remaining. (Going into tonight) He's pretty stable at 10.5 rebounds per game so a little leeway there.

    Goes for 19 assists tonight in his 25/19/12 stat line

    Also top 15 in steals

    He's ridiculous.

    Crazy a team with Durant, Westbrook, Harden and BJ Mullens couldn't win it all.

    ...and Skal Labissiere scores 32 points and grabs 11 boards...blowing away any game of his UK career :huh:

    Kid is going to be an absolute star very soon. Like Devin Booker his rookie year, so incredibly skilled offensively.

    Because of one game? lol

    Rockets a very ASG like 10 players scoring 8+ last night.

    D Wade done with a broken elbow.

    Watch him play. Call me a homer, but watch him play. He's got an offensive game that maybe a dozen other players of his size in the league are even capable of.

    He played his Freshman year after being removed from the sport for almost 2 years due to an earthquake and hadn't ever played at a high level really before last year. You can tell the way he moves and the way he's transformed his body that it's starting to come together.

    You probably were saying the same thing about Booker after his good games last year. He's only a top 15 scorer at age 20.

    Chicago lolls

    Have to think they're out of the playoff hunt now.

    Westbrook goes for 25/16 ast/10 rebounds

    He's getting a little bit of cushion on the assists with 35 in his last two games. He's going to lead NBA in scoring at 31 ppg and average a triple double for the season. Silly.

    Still should be no higher than 3rd in MVP.

    I'm not impressed by his video game-like stats.

    That's fine...but I also believe without him they are lucky to see 25 wins for the season. 9th best record in the NBA

    It's not like he's playing with a bunch of D-leaguers. Kanter, Oladipo, Adams are all good players.

    But yes, he's definitely responsible for a lot of wins. Doesn't mean he should be the MVP. Lebron should be MVP this season, and it's not really close.
