WHATS SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT?

I'm getting delirious watching this guy play!

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

If Bogut plays like this all the time, this team is hard to beat.

I was just thinking of how BAD their owner got ******* on by the home crowd shortly after the Monta/Bogut swap. Hindsight is 20/20 but I'm guessing they don't feel too bad about that deal now.

Steph is special.

Fans are dumb often, why would you keep Monta when you have Curry?

 

[hypebeast5]

T

Steph Curry isn't a pg. His game skews toward the 2 spot. He plays off the ball more than anyone on the top ten list.

Thank you im doing so now *no sarcasm*

Im to lazy to go look for the others

 

[iamjusayn]

Yall think this warriors squad is better or as good as that warriors squad that beat the mavs with BD, Barnes, etc etc?

It's close but I like that 07 squad better.

 

[tyonenine]

Warriors always had a decent team. Just never lived up to potential, never really healthy and the west has been tough

 

[black leg]

Bogut behind the back dribble

It worked out somehow

Love the way this Warriors team plays, really hope they can advance

"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.

It's close but I like that 07 squad better.

I remember not making playoffs after a 41-41 season

 

[dland24]

If I didnt know any better, I would swear Kosta Koufos was mentally ******ed.  I mean seriously.  He has the look of an adult with an IQ of 55.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Chandler a chill dude

Bless him

 

[da doc03]

This dude is on FIRE

They definitely DID not have a decent team after they split up the "We Believe" team from 07. Their rosters after that have been poor up until this season. The subtraction of Ellis, addition of Bogut, Lee, and Jack have made a TREMENDOUS difference.

Love the We Believe Team but they went 16-5 to go 42-40 the current team is better

ANOTHER THREEEEEEEE

JUST STOP IT STEPH!

07 was just crazy, even seeing the series from home i saw how live they got at home and the team to me was better

But in terms of excitment i really cant decide steph going off has me goin nuts

 

[antidope]

Can he just shoot every shot in the third quarter please?

 

[grandtheftbike]

antidope just missed the three while compiling that post

It was 48.

 

[iamjusayn]

They never called him a bust but he was always hurt. When he was healthy he was eating but he was also on the Bucks.

Naw i heard bust. Wasn't he hurt for a while? He was getting that greg oden treatment cat's calling him a bust because he was out so long.

Anyway the dude looks legit to me so it doesn't matter.

Yo. How fun is this guy to watch?!
