14th Tank Platoon

[Doublea]

I'm not. I'm just saying I'm not surprised they've made a run, especially with Wade not playing tonight.

True, true. They do that too often.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Seriously, instead of asking our players to go to P3 to get more "athletic" and improve their jumping ability by an inch or two, Utah should have their players shooting 1000 FT's and a 1000 jump shots.

They do basketball drills while attending P3...

Obviously not shooting. I just checked the rankings. Honestly can't believe there are teams with worse team FG% (about 7 or 8, forgot to count). And about 10 with a lower FT%.

 

[Stifle Tower]

WOW! JUST WOW!
Game of the year. Well, certainly finish of the year. Curry and LBJ taking turns with HUGE shots. Most exciting 2 mins of basketball I've watched in a long, long time.

 

[Jazz4ever]

Curry is scary good, but Lebron is simply the best. Wins it with a fade away three.

 

[infection]

Finally LeBron gives us a lift. GSW hopefully crashing is the only redeeming part of the season at this point. If they were able to tailspin into a position that gave us a few more ping pong combos then that'd be awesome. If they had a couple reasonable injuries (not hoping for, but of it's going to happen...) them how big of a skid do you think they could go on to close out the season?

And had an three right before that with the time clock running out.

39mins for Curry, 39 for Iguodala. I've noticed that Mark Jackson plays his crew a lot of minutes.

Barely missing the playoffs. Minnesota and Denver are both 3 games under .500 so not much hope they'll make up enough ground. We have to become Grizzlies fans. And no matter how bad a slide, GS would still be better than every EC non-playoff team. It's either the 14th seed or somewhere in the 21-23 range.

His bench is truly awful. Minutes have taken a pretty big toll on Iggy. He got injured (not necessarily due to the minutes) but since his return he is still forced into a lot of minutes an he hasn't been able to recover. Look at his month-to-month stats. Sharp declines.

 

[Bodhi]

I'd honestly be shocked to see Curry complete the season without missing serious time. I'd have bet serious money on it pre-season.

AS much as I thought they really downgraded their bench, I was wrong. GS essentially traded Jack and Landry for Iguodala and Crawford. No other significant changes were made, other than having Bogut healthy for most of the season this year. Their per game scoring averages are up and they're holding opponents to fewer points. It's a real puzzle why their record isn't better.

Not that I'm complaining...

Defense mainly. Jack had a big impact on them last year, and injuries have affected them this year too.

I am. I suck I guess. Oh well.

Burke and Burks = Tank Killers

 

[BTP]

Just watched some highlights. You can't defend that LeBron shot better than Iggy did there.

Because their bench is worse.

They bring Barnes off the bench, that is it. Crawford hasn't assimilated yet. Earlier in the year Iggy was doing great and playing the role Jack did and helping them win games. That ain't happening anymore and Iggy has been playing really mediocre basketball. Iggy, Barnes, and Thompson have gone through long stretches of mediocre basketball and that is a big reason they are in the 8th spot.
