    Hard for me to get excited for the Bulls. Rose is such a bitch and will probably be injured soon. And they won't get past Cleveland. New year, same old story.

    And Rose had two 'minor' issues during the game. He came up gimpy a few times. I'm biased as a Cleveland guy, but I'm not worried about the Bulls. The Cavs played terribly last night and still only lost by 2. And this was without Kyrie and Shump.
    Bulls will improve under Hoiberg, but I'm not sure they are a true contender. Will be interesting to see if they play defense. Never thought of Iowa State as a defensive stalwart.

    Yeah, Rose is just too fragile. Lost all respect for him when he refused to come back from his ACL injury a couple years ago after the doctor's had cleared him to play. He's more concerned about himself than his team winning. I can't imagine he'll be with the Bulls after his contract runs out next year.....I really hope he isn't. Hearing about all of his drama everyday has gotten really old.

    Bulls should be better offensively and more rested since Thibs won't be here running his guys into the ground every damn game. But yeah, I have zero expectations that they can get past Cleveland.

    Raptors will never get anywhere unless they fire the coach. His rudimentary offensive sets are horrendous. The plays he draws up are basically all the same. Iso's

    Stephen Curry is fucking amazing.

    Greatest shooting point guard since Magic, I can give you. Magic was a far superior all around player. LBJ plays a better point guard than Curry, IMO.

    curry way better point guard ... curry's handle and passing way better than lebron ... his assist totals are average only because he can shoot the ball so good ... every coach always wanted Nash to shoot more when he played ... that's what he's telling curry to do now ...

    Disagree. The beauty of Magic and LBJ is that they can post, play forward, grab rebounds, drive the hole with aggression, and on and on. In baseball, it's a five tool player. The complete package. Curry is certainly an elite shooter all time, but he doesn't have the versatility that they do. I say this since you brought up Magic.

    Magic was the greatest point guard in NBA history. My point was Curry is the greatest since. LBJ is not a point guard. He plays point forward a lot but he is no point guard.

    If the streak continues Warriors get #17 in Phoenix. I'm going to have to go to that game and take advantage that I live in the area to see my childhood team take best start ever status. If they get the next 2 (Denver and Lakers) that is.

    love the warriors, but "the city" on the front and a cablecar on back is kind of dumb when you play in OAKLAND.

    Last night LBJ became only the second player to be in the top 25 for points AND assists. He joins the most elite of company, Oscar Robertson. The Big O was a guard. Do we think that Curry will reach that rare air? It further supports my point that despite his nominal position as SF, LBJ does it all at an all time elite level.
