Winner....
This just in: Steph Curry is a stud.
Fairly lucky to get this one but I would say we were due.
Warriors closed strong in the game. Monta Ellis couldn't hit a shot tonight and that didn't help in the 3rd quarter.
Actually I think the Warriors win the game if Maggette wasn't such a coach favorite. He made several selfish plays in the 3rd quarter which helped the Lakers get out to a big 2H lead.
He is very selfish but at least he knows he isn't made for the last shot I have to give him that.
During the big Lakers run he had a couple of turnovers and just 4 or 5 straight horrible shots standing still 18 feet from the basket with 18 seconds on the shot clock.
The sooner that Monta Ellis (If he is there next year) and Corey "ME"ggette (also a ? if he will be there next year) realize that this is now Steph Curry's team the better the Dubs' will be.
With Anthony Randolph, Brandon Wright, Raja Bell (If the can resign him), Andris Biedrins, and Kelenna Azuibuke all out for the season this team has tons to look forward to if they can make some wise moves in the offseason.
I see no reason why (if they can get everyone back healthy) with some minor tweaks in the offseason why this Warriors team can't be in the playoffs next year.
Steph Curry is not going to be a good NBA player. He is going to be a top 5 NBA player in 2/3 years.
The Lakers are just in grind mode right now. It will be interesting to see when they flip the switch if they still have the juice.
I personally don't think they do it this year.
Either Denver, Dallas, or the Lebrons knock off the Lakers IMO.
I'm sure the Lakers are hoping that the Mavs and Denver end up beating each other up if possible before the Lakers have to play them. I think that would be their only hope.
Good luck
