A) curry
B) korver
C) Ray Ray
D) Reggie That's the correct order in 2015. Dame goes above Ray. All time? C A D B Dame. From my POV you never take Ray #1, because he creeps me out, and I think there is like a 30% chance he bricks on purpose just to see the world burn.
I agree with you on Ray but think of it the other way. If he doesn't give a shit about you then it's not a clutch shot. A decent human being would feel immense pressure shooting for a life and be more likely to fuck it up. Allen is a mercenary, sociopathic Spurs dreamkiller who'll throw it in without thinking twice (assuming you can afford his services).

If you're adding new dudes that aren't on the list then the actual answer is the late Petrovic. Dude was actually a better shooter than anyone here, though clearly not as overall talented (except Korver who is probably less talented but lives in a time where people are more knowledgeable about spacing and offensive schemes, making his very specialized skill traits more useful over long minutes blah blah blah technical basketball talk).

This game is ugly as hell, but Detroit's defense looks so much better now.
Lol, Drummond had 8 points 11 rebounds in the first quarter.

this golden state team is just crazy

So we're about halfway through the year with two outstanding teams.
There's a real possibility we could have something like a Atlanta vs GS or Memphis type final. I suspect the casuals will recoil in horror but I think it'd be great for the league and justify the new CBA.
Here's a question that has me nervous as a dubs fan though: would you feel comfortable picking them in a 7 game series vs the thunder if that was the 1v8 matchup?
The dubs are on track to win 69 games at the rate they're going and yet face a real possibility of losing round one of matched with OKC.

As long as they dont have an injury, yes. Scott Brooks will take 4 games just to realize Curry is good at shooting 3s. Golden State, with a healthy Bogut will make the OKC offense so ugly.

im not sure a low rating, small market final justifies the cba. nba still needs its big market teams to do well
|
Well I'm not so much talking about the revenue split issue which I know many people are passionate about but the new lux tax is effectively working as a hard cap. It has put a lot more emphasis on FOs to get value for their money.
Drafting is still the most important part to building a team but talent is being spread better in the Nba's middle class imo.

I'd be willing to bet big money that if we have a GSW vs Thunder first round, Golden State will get crushed

dont see it. gsw should win that in 5

There is a strong possibility of OKC not even making the playoffs, the thought of them beating GSW in a series is laughable as they are now. Things could change by the time the playoffs start though.

Only chance OKC will beat GSW in a series is if KD goes godmode

Yes, but what team in the top 7 in the west would you want to play?

cleveland looking a whole lot better on offense. not sure about defense since chicago just can't hit their open shots. this is probably their level of play going forward, around a .700 clip against the east.
|
The Hawks might go undefeated in January. Except for OKC, I don't see anyone on the schedule that can challenge them.
Edit: And Portland, obviously.

Crazy, has Towns even shot over 50% this season?
