Peter Vescey is still alive?? 

You got to be stone stupid to still be watching TNT and the foolishness going on with Kenny & company. "Content is king," swears David Levy

Once again...DSK forgets NOTHING I'm weak at those Curry gifs

The second one is basically this

 

[antidope]

"They should have kept Monta" - them

We can get more specific than that...

probably in the minority but i wouldve kept monta instead of curry

Thank You!!! People continue to swear that Curry is the 2nd coming. Monta is/was a great play maker and passer. He just has to take on a huge scoring load when you had bums like Biedrins as your starting C. He has also expanded his 3 pt game. Giving up Udoh was hard, but at least we got Landry to fill the void.

Monta the playmaker/great passer?? Let's not get crazy now......

Monta is a playmaker. Theres no question about that. I assume the bolded is in response to him being a great passer. While I agree with you that he isnt a great passer, neither is Stephen Curry. In recent times, we have seen a ton of score first/slasher/drive-and-kick-out type point guards have a ton of success in this league. Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose (when healthy) are in pretty much everyone's top 5 PG lists, and neither of those guys are pass first point guards.

When looking at JUST distributing the ball and running the offense, there is no reason to think that Monta couldnt have been as good if not better than Steph.

Curry is trash; should've shipped him out instead of Monta.

Steph Curry creeping in

what?? When has Curry EVER hit a game winner, let alone some clutch shots? Dudes are hella overrating steph here now i swear. I like the guy but he is no clutch player.

Edit: Monta seems to always get overlooked i see.

Man I'm a Warriors fan and Steph is overrated as hell on this board. He can shoot and score but still plays wack D and makes the dumbest passes in crunch time. He still tries to force too much. Then when we REALLY need him to score when we're in a slump and the game is close, he doesn't do it. No clutch bone in his body. Everyone wants to give Steph the credit for the Dubs being back in the playoffs but it's really more so because we have much better depth this year.

I STILL believe Monta is the better player and could've gotten us to the playoffs with this same team. Just my opinion so you Steph Curry fans don't get all crazy.

JA gets his own section of quotes...word to JD.

Curry is worth building around more than Monta?

Very big EHHHHHHHHH to me...

Monta is 25, age really shouldn't factor into that decision. Curry is better? EHHHHHHHHHHHH once again..

Who in their right mind would build around an undersized PG whose best basketball ability is shooting, and can't play a lick of defense?

Monta Ellis is efficient, AI isn't.

For Iguodala? I like.

Steph is nice, he has a great jumper, but can he be a starting PG of a contending playoff team? I don't know.

I've just seen too much from Monta to trade him. If we went to Dallas? I'd be enthused,

. But we have nothing they'd want.

Monta can be the starting SG for a VERY good team. Dude is so money. He has the driving ability of Wade, with the midrange game of someone like Dirk. I'm a huge Monta guy. If this guy was put on a winning team? YIKES...

Trading him IMO is the wrong move. You build around him, not Curry.

Spoiler: Warning%3A%20Spoiler!

As long as they've admitted fault and will now praise him like he deserves to be its all good in my book. 

That was also A+ gif execution by Addict4Sneakers

I never got the Monta fascination...

 

[hypebeast5]

Is george karl gone if they dont advance?

 

[abubakr shaheed]

TNT needs to drop shaq with the quickness. Dude just wastes everyone's time when he talks.

 

[ballinsam23]

Buss is an idiot for not hiring Phil if its really over personal issues, you can't let emotions **** the money up

Its business, never personal. New people. New money. Gotta get that check.

Does Dwight reup with Lakers after this debacle?

Do the Lakers reup Dwight after this debacle? Dude needs to go to Houston. He has no business being in LA.

people really thought george karl was gonna lead the nuggets anywhere this post season?

cant believe he's about to allow 1 guy practically outplay his entire team and single handedly win the series.

Day 9 of the NBA Playoffs a wrap

I find this **** hilarious every time you post this

I never got the Monta fascination...

Type of player that puts up numbers on a bad team for his entire career.

he has on makeup too

 

[iluvjordanxi]

Yo seriously...why does Monta have so many fans? 

I don't get it.

I never got the Monta fascination...

Everyone loves a guard that score. Especially one that can score in a dazzling fashion . He was selected in the 2nd round and was never chosen for an all star team so he has that under dog appeal that everyone just likes to root for. He never caused any trouble in the league from what I know and was part of the We Believe team. Monta was one of my fav players and I wanted him to stay but I'm glad it worked out.

aint no shame in his game

Second point guard JA has been adamantly against and wrong about... the first was Russell Westbrook

Better not say anything bad about John Wall or Kyrie.

If there was a shooting convention for retired players, Kenny wouldn't be invited.. Oh wait yes he would, could be our ball boy...

Seriously. 

 

[Peep Game]

Monta Ellis has been my favorite not-so-elite player for years, but driving ability of Wade, and midrange of someone like Dirk?

I can't

 

[alex18pr]

I don't get it.

I never like him he is just a glorified ballhog

Monta makes sportscenter layups and off-balance shots all the time.

 

[awwsome]

Cannot wait for Curry/Parker in the next round

This warriors squad is the most fun team to watch in the league
