I've been reminded of Simmons when watching Faried

Our youngest winner of the David West Award,16 given annually to an under-the-radar, undeniably lovable player who generates so much "underrated" buzz that he inadvertently becomes a little overrated. I love Faried from the cost-effective energy/rebounding/athleticism standpoint, but the "Next Dennis Rodman" stuff needs to stop. Young Rodman was one of the league's most destructive players ever, someone who grabbed 10 rebounds a game in the '89 playoffs (in just 24 MPG!) while defending everyone from Jordan to Magic to Worthy. I'd describe Faried's defense as "half-decent." It's no contest. None of this is Faried's fault, but I'm already dreading the inevitable Rodman comparisons in the playoffs. Please, everybody, no.

Since the All-Star break …

Player A (age 21): 28 games, 25.4 MPG, 9.6 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 2.1 BPG, 49.3% FG
Player B (age 23): 26 games, 25.4 MPG, 10.0 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 1.4 BPG, 53.8% FG

Player A: Favors. Player B? Faried.

Long story short, Derrick Favors is awesome

Favors needs to go to Houston and flourish.

Isn't he only 22?

His age is right in that post b.

21.
 
Warriors just aren't mentally tough enough to bang with spurs or heat. You've got to be able to close, that separates the strong from the weak. They were up by 19 and STILL didn't have control of the game and lost the lead.
 
I want to see Curry continue to be great... but I'd love to see Andre Miller take over and hit a game winner.
