It was along the lines of him citing the crowd chanting MVP during one of his better games to make some point or another. Maybe about how Miami was more than just the Big 3 or something. It was stupid, that's all I know. Kind of like last year in the playoffs when Foot was acting like Delly was the second coming because he had a couple big games in big-game situations -- where you take a role player's contributions and blow them out of proportion while conveniently ignoring that a lot of what they're able to do is because the stars get so much attention, it's easy for them to slip under the radar and have good games when they're on.

LOL, yup I definitely remember that now. That dude was such a piece of shit. I am sure he is all about the Cavs again, since he is a "lebron fan." It would bring the lulz to see him post and call him out on it. I could be wrong though, he might have moved on to being a "curry fan."

It was pretty much that Joel Anthony was the MVP of the league.

Curry has 4 fouls midway through 3rd. Lillard doing what ever team should do. Pick and roll him, back him down and attack in transition. He should have 5 fouls, but refs completely botched a sequence. Also obnoxious to watch him and Draymond complain about every bad call not going their way, when the are the biggest beneficiaries of touch fouls night in night out.

Lillard is about to drop 50+. And GSW are gonna lose by 40 in Portland. Blazers never stopped attacking, GSW never looked comfortable and this game never seemed in doubt. Pretty odd to see from tip to final whistle.

I love watching curry play defense. Agree with laley, this is what every pg should be doing to him.

What we've been saying since beginning of season. I hope its a sign of things to come, Curry is a fucking revolving door on defense.

Yup. Should have traded Irving and 2 1sts for Lilliard.

Did you say that when Irving dropped 50 on Lilliard, without Lebron on the lineup?

Did you even know that happened?

I was kidding. I would never trade Irving for Lilliard. Irving is a better player.

Reality is, Irving is going to have to play his best against GS because Love is effectively dead weight.

I expect nothing out of Love. I don't even care if he plays.

If he didn't play would you still make your feelings of him known every other post?

GSW getting the calls. They only keep scoring via bail out fouls while Crawford is a highlight reel

The Jazz game was a makeup game due to the snowstorm in January.

I think Clippers are the worst matchup for GSW. Don't think they can get it done, but think they have the best shot in the west.

When Crawford is on they are a tough matchup....but too often he is 5 for 17
