Bu-bu-bu the Warriors are going to the Finals! We got Iggy!!!:rudy:



They're only 3 games ahead of last year at this same point (33-27 last year, 36-24 this year) after 60 games:camby:

he's an elite defender tho

and his offense should improve in time too

he could still be the perfect fit for this team IMO

More like Mark Jackson is robbing the warriors

I can't tell u how many times i see late in the 3rd and 4th quarters that the warriors just relax on defense and be like :manny: the splash brothers will bail us out with the 3's

Warriors didn't make there playoff run last season because of there defense. There defense this year has been decent there just lacking that explosive offense in the 3rd and 4th quarter that they had last year. When they put Curry at the 2 and Klay at the 3 and let Jack handle the ball they were unstoppable on offense and you had to pick your poison. It's alot different when a guy with shaky handles and no jumpshot is handling the ball at the top of the key cuz the defense can just folk on Curry and Klay on those screens and not have to worry about Iggy taking his man off the dribble and hitting a jumper.

In a vacuum, 12m per year for Iggy isn't that bad. He's consistently top20 in RAPM (http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/ratings/2014.html) and if you add him as a finishing piece to a finished core (e.g. Thunder, Spurs, Pacers, etc.) he's a perfect glue guy that will fill up the stat sheet, play D, and won't demand the ball in his hand.

But, the opportunity cost for the Warriors in the Iggy deal is looking bad. It's not just the money, but we sent out expirings and two 1st round picks. Those expirings coulda been used to get Luol Deng which woulda been a more offensively capable version of Iggy that's on an expiring contract. If we made another strong run, we re-sign Luol, if not, let him walk.

Those 2 picks coulda been used as deal sweetners for say a Kevin Love or Melo deal or just as sweetner to dump the David Lee contract. Now, the only sweetners we have are Barnes who's value is tanking and Klay who is turning into a volume shooter.

The Warriors core was not finished, but the hype of last years playoffs made them push all the chips in for Iggy as a finishing piece. Unfortunately we're still one superstar player away, but we wasted a lot of our chips (2 picks, expirings, 45m) on Iggy making a deal more difficult.

Dude is just muscular for absolutely no reason. He is pretty much Ron Artest in his last year with theLakers. Been in the league this long and his jumpshot more broke than courtdogs pockets. NEVER drives to the basket like he should to suck the d in. Can barely even dribble the ball for what is supposed to be a significant ball handler. Makes errors in his decisions constantly. Once that lastbit if athleticism is gone he will be nothing.

And he a bytch too by evidence of his response to Richard Sherman.

Warriors took an L and will not make the playoffs.

Dog...

He is one of the most overrated players in the league.. He does nothing great. He is essentially a nice role player but in this NBA he gets star money..
Why the fukk would you give this dude 60 million :mindblown:

G-State is gonna have some decisions to make in the future.. Curry is gonna get maxed and I know they like Klay Thompson who is overrated too. Somebody has to go..

lmao @ elite defender like Demar fukking Derozan didn't play him like a toy all game. Harden dropped nearly 40 on him. Bron dropped nearly 40 on him. What kind of elite defender gets shytted on 3x in a span of two weeks :camby:
