The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[lawdog1]

Even after dumping Perk, OKC still has Kanter, Ibaka, McGary, Funaki and Collison. That's some frontline depth right there.

Fire Shaw

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Besides Memphis and GS, Clippers look like the only non pretenders out there in the West

I think it was mentioned that lac had a top 5/10 defense the past two seasons. They don't any more. I got gsw/mem and then okc as a long shot for contenders

Shaw reading books on how to relate to 20 somethings 

He should resign and take an assistant position with the Hornets... be Stephenson's guru again

Clippers defense is improving though. I'd like to think that'll continue when Blake is back...(but I'm not sure it will )

To think they fired Karl after winning what...57 games?

just out of curiosity, do folks still consider paul to be the elite defender he was in his NOLA/early clippers days? I've watched clippers games (due to having Griffin in fantasy) and their perimeter defense is suspect with and without CP3. i'm willing to attribute part of DJ's block stats to the fact that opponents are cleanly getting into the paint fairly often

There's no doubt in my mind when he gets canned, he's retreating to New York with Phil, Fish, Rambis, Cleamons.

 

[kevin cleveland]

Lamb, man...

He could be such a nice two-way player.

 

[duba169]

Harden clearly took a lead in the MVP race today

I disagree. I think he had it before. Ive never heard of head to head matches determining an MVP until last year when people were doimg anything they could to get lebron the mvp.

Lebron is a better player than Harden. We all know this. So I don't see why it would have mattered if the rockets lost.

 

[NickFolarin]

The contract is already written up

 

[pmatic]

Kanter reminds me of a 6'11 Boozer.

Take that how you will.

 

[duba169]

Brandon Bass just yammed it on Bogut

I'm surprised a bunch of contenders didn't call Danny with a good offer for Bass. He's too solid

I actually think he Is consistently one of the most underated players in the league.

 

[silverbackhoney]

The MVP is the same as All Star Votes. It's a year-by-year thing, not a lifetime achievement award.

That being said, LeBron is nowhere near the most valuable player to his team. He's got a solid team with many great players around him.

Harden has carried the Rockets for 26 or 27 games without the #2 player on the team and they've maintained a top-3 record in an extremely competitive division.

Team success plays a large part in the argument to me as well, and the Cavs record isn't nearly as good as it should be to warrant any LeBron MVP discussion. Same with Russy and KD.

Its a Beard-Curry race. There's no comparison beyond that.

I still like their chances going forward with BG and DeAndre...

Lamb, man...

He could be such a nice two-way player.

Too busy singing and dancing

Elite? No. But he's still pretty good. So many talented PGs out there, it's hard to stop that position. But CP generally makes the guys he's playing at least work hard.

 

[silverbackhoney]

CP guarding KD in the playoffs last year was

.

 

[shoeking2101]

CP isn't locking down his position, but no one is. So many guards (including himself) are so talented in pick and roll action, and it's become such a staple, that it's kind of hard to expect any point to be an elite defender, especially if he has to be an elite offensive player as well.

That being said, he still is pretty good at defending the ball.

Ibaka, the prototypical PF in 2015.

Simply Omazing how good he is when he stays his *** inside the arc.
