I thought Curry was a little more worldly. Guess not.

He is. Just not of this world.

Picked a bad game to go to tonight. Maybe the worst three point shooting performance this Dubs version has ever showcased.

Spurs win 4 in a row including Clippers and Lakers, then lose to the Bulls at home. Real shitty.

Westbrook averaging a triple double again 28 games in with a 3rd seed in the west. Just saying.

He's also shooting more than five 3s a game and hitting less than 25 percent of them and shooting 61 percent from the line, the lowest of his career by a lot.

Oh don't get me wrong I am not backing the guy. Just pointing out the inevitable stat stuff debate is going down again. It would be 3 years of this.

Yeah, his free throw percentage decline is bizarre. Two years ago, he was a career 82% shooter. Then last year he went down to 73% and now hovering just above 60%. It wouldn't make sense that he's overtired since he's definitely had seasons where he was doing more, so I wonder if there's some lingering injury. You just don't see this kind of decline after eight years of excellent free throw shooting. He's never been a good three point shooter but he's also having his worse season there since his second year in the league (when he had far less attempts so more likely to show bigger swings in percentage).

It blows my mind to know that Derrick Rose is shooting 50% overall and 48% from three point range. Did he finally work on his shooting after all these years and time off to injury? Dude's averaging 19 on 29 minutes.

The Rockets showed the Wizards their final form last night

Would really be nice if The Spurs could play defense like they have the last couple of games more consistently.

I bet whoever took that 20 footer is doing extra sprints in practice today.

CP3 strains hamstring in loss, out indefinitely

CP is a giant injury prone pussy. He hasn't played 70+ games half of his career. Guys like him and 'Melo are why certain teams never get there every year. Bad signing, waste of money.

You mean melo’s amazing defense wasn’t the reason?

As I am typing this Dan LeBatard calls him “cp3 to 6 weeks”.

I really don't like CP3 and his antics, but lets not go grouping him with Melo somehow. At least CP3 plays his ass off and tries to help his team win whenever he's out there. He wants to win, very badly. He just can't stay healthy (yes, a bad signing for that reason). Melo doesn't give a shit, overrates himself, and only really care about getting his own shots up.
