2015-16 Season Chatter: Jan 25th-31st

I will cop out on the poll since you guys will shit on me for not being able to live up to Andrew's standard.

So we had Curry entirely making joke out of long waited Spurs vs Warriors match up earlier this week. I think it's a good starting point for the discussion of this week's weekly thread. The Spurs tried everything but he was simply unstoppable. Even the best defender in the league Kawhi looked helpless. The loss was just embarrassing as the Spurs lost by 30 which is close to the loss suffered by Cavs.

The Warriors are still in the control of this league. 70 win certainly is a possibility.

And Gregg Popovich comments after the loss....

[Andrew]

Definitely not the epic battle, or the result that I was expecting. The Warriors have obviously looked great all season, but with some of these big wins over better teams, they're arguably looking better than ever. They're on pace to equal or beat the record, and it certainly is a possibility.

Pops comments where great because they bounced the attention of the loss but off the Spurs altogether and back onto the Cavs.

[NovU]

The Warriors come a looong way. I vividly remember Spurs vs Warriors series a few seasons ago when Pops attacked bothered ankle Curry full force and looked much better team.

Today, the Warriors beats teams like Spurs and Cavs by 30 points no sweat.

Nice pass from Rose, late in the blowout win over the Lakers. Glad Moore was able to finish, can't waste a pass like that with a missed layup.

Western Conference's 8th seed competition is just getting interesting with surging Pelicans. Hard to believe the team started the season 1-11.

I also love the Blazers at 8th at the moment. Jazz, Pelicans, Kings, Blazers are all in the race though. Denver? Despite the record, I am not too high on them.

this kobe bryant farewell tour is awkward. it was cringe inducing to hear kevin harlan praise or get excited whenever bryant made a regular play. barkley's remark of the lakers coming back up again on a nation tv game said it all. there must be a better way for one of the best players of his generation to go out.

on the bright side for the lakers show- randle almost looked, dare i say demarcus cousins like, when he got a head of steam going to the basket. gibson and portis looked helpless against him at times.

Lillard wins again. He's playing mad.

Just when I thought the Heat were falling apart, Wade and Bosh are keeping the hope alive.

Couldn't agree more. The Lakers are hard to watch these days. They aren't entirely devoted to rebuilding nor have they got a plan to find consistency to try to win much. But every game is about Kobe and relentless look backs on his career. Ofc that's even when he feels good enough to play otherwise it's a bummer, TV rating and ticket sales down the drain.

Sounds much like Paul Millsap whom Jackal has man crush on. Ofc, if Randle can add range to his game, he'll be pretty good.

Not a care given. Ice cold.

Meanwhile, the Sixers managed to put together a better effort against the Warriors than the Bulls, Cavaliers, and Spurs.

[NovU]

Damn. I think the 76ers had the game plan right for that last play though. They forced the ball out of Curry's hand but recovery speed just isn't up to par. Better luck next time.



Who'd thought the Cavs would blow out the Spurs. And we also had this, LeBron coaching the coach:
