it's a shame, he's Croatia's greatest export since Drazen Petrovic

LOL yes

"Australian" is not an ethnicity

Bogut's parents are from Croatia though he was born and raised in Australia.

Why would anyone here root for GSW? I don't think anyone loves Mark Jackson that much here!

Those are good reasons to enjoy watching GSW but not to switch allegiances IMO.

someone asked me why Im a knick fan.

Basically they are don't have an "NBA" team, are into the basic racist " I like college ball better" thing, and thats their choice, but I can tell they never been a fan of Melo and JR Smith, who was set to go to chapel hill but opted for the NBA.

I said: "knicks my team, but I don't love this roster, but they my team, and I watch them, root for them"... They asked when was the last team you "loved", I said basically the ewing era was passionate times. Love is for my family.

They asked why not change because of the dolan era and Marbury. I explained its not my choice, just is.........!

FOr all the talk of GSW, denver and rockets and even the Nets, its just ain't happening.

I'm starting to believe the Warriors might knock the Spurs out. Pops adjustments have been very good but somehow Jackson-Curry keep coming up with the answers. GS in 7? Maybe. I'm not sure the Warriors have a chance against Memphis, esp. with Lee out but . . . if OKC ends up beating Memphis in 7, the Warriors match up nicely with OKC and . . . and . . . the Warriors in the finals? Whew. Weird. I don't think they'd stand a chance against Miami but against the Knicks . . . maybe.

One thing about GS that's not true about the Knicks this year . . . they keep getting better. Barnes, Ezeli, Greene, Curry, Thompson, and Bogut are all much better players now than at the beginning of the year. It's not just that they are a better team, though they are, it's that the individual players are making fewer mistakes and generally playing with more verve. That doesn't happen with every young team and it seldom happens with older teams. Assuming Rush, Bogut, and Curry are healthy next year, GS is going to be better next year. I'm not sure you can say that about the Knicks. Maybe Shumpert and Copeland come along, maybe Anthony sees the light, maybe Chandler gets busy, but . . . that all seems iffy.

this is the great thing about sports and the NBA, the new teams that rise. GSW might be here to stay, and that is cool.... then you have other teams like the Nuggets, rockets, pacers on the rise as well... it is a good thing for the league..... It tells other teams, and organizations, time to step up... I love it..

I thought you were gonna comment about how great it would be for a balcony jump.

Listening to Mike and Mike in the morning, they are talking about how people "feels sorry" for Durant because he has to do it by himself...Durant in an interview say maybe be needs to do more...Mike Greenberg says no, you don't have to do more, you are doing enough...How does these guys get a pass...The great NBA stars...Wade gets a pass when stars around playing alongside him...Melo gets no pass and he doesn't need one..Just saying, feeling sorry for Durant with the cast of players surrounding him?????

he doesn't make others around him better. durant does, and he is more consistently efficient as a scorer. wade is similar when he is on.

JVG defended Melo this morning at least in regards to Tyson's comments. He also pointed out that when Felton, JR, Kidd etc. aren't scoring where are the points supposed to come from? Durant gets David Robinson type love. Not sure why.
