I had him last year for fantasy and I wished I could've kept him. Had only 2 keepers which one was anthony davis, other was mcw. Probably going to have the same problem next year since I have Jeff Teague and Andrew wiggins

Well in the beginning of the season. But he's healthy now and with Tony wroten out for the year. Nobody is holding him back other than his shooting. Mcw is a beast on the Stat line when wroten was out. He was nearly avg a triple double for 5 games straight.

Family and work.

I can't find a job down in SoCal. Since Sacramento is the Capitol (I don't know why) all headquarter offices are up here.

That sux. You cant find anything in SF either?

Lots of Capitals are pretty bad. NY is certainly one.

Very minimal. No extra pay either. So I would make 5000 in Sac, and I would make 5000 in SF.

Yup...although, the Hawks are still the most impressive right now in the East. Bulls are too inconsistent.


After the went blow for blow with the Warriors, I now expect them to lay a stinker against the Lakers.

So, having seen the Warriors a couple of times now, I need to ask: are they for real? I mean, we all know the Splash Brothers can toss 3s all night...but, like...against Chicago, that went DEAD in the 2nd half. They could not hit a 3 if their life depended on it. And poof went their lead and ultimately, the game.

They have no inside game really...and so, I'm wondering if they can go far in the playoffs? This is not the LeBron-era LeHeat we're talking about where you have generational talents (and honestly, LeBron) to make up for the lack of an inside game...

Just wondering what some of you peeps think.

Ilike the Warriors, but I don't think they are "for real". I would HOPE they are.

But teh ATL (ex spurs system) and Chi are for real. I think they can really give them a run for their money.

Then again Warriors are on pace for beating MJs 72 in almost.... so if they can keep it up (key question), will see if they win a ring.

Everyone can win the regular season (Ask Payton Manning), but winning NBA ring aint that easy.

Warriors are good but they are very similar with OKC...
Probably the biggest difference between these 2 is the 3 pt %.

When the game slows down in the playoff and they are forced to play half court game... i dont know if they can shoot 3 like how they do it in the regular season.

Agreed

WHat has saddenned me this year is to see the Clippers regression. Further proof why Coach and GM shouldn't be the same person.

If you try to play at their pace, they'll run you out of the gym every time. Slow the game down and force them to play half court and they are vulnerable. Look at the Kings game a few days ago for example. Sac slowed the pace down and pounded them in the middle with Cousins in the first half. They were going back and forth until Klay found Super Mario's super star and went off. A good, disciplined, half court team that plays tough defense can knock them out of the playoffs. (Spurs, Grizzlies come to mind) My

Lakers can beat the bulls in double OT, but can't beat anyone else.

Bulls can beat the warriors, but lost to the Lakers.

Yummy analyze this for me.
