I’ve been watching a lot of Donald Trump speeches lately (not by choice), so like our possible future president, I’m just going to come right out and say something stupid off the top of my head: I don’t think Stephen Curry is real. I think he’s an Old Spice commercial, tricking all of us into thinking he’s actually doing the things he’s doing on the court. Think about it for a second. It’s brilliant product placement, really.

What a fantastic game tonight, as the Road Warriors are in Oklahoma City. Russell Westbrook $11000 and Stephen Curry $10700 are capable of anything. Both took a back seat to Kevin Durant $10100, who had 40 points and 14 rebounds (in a losing cause) when they met three weeks ago. [Read more…]

It’s hard to believe that Stephen Curry could get any better than how he has played this season, but just when you think the superstar has reached a plateau, the level of play somehow goes up another notch. That was the case coming into this season when he won the league’s MVP award last season. Most believed he couldn’t get much better than that, and we all know how that turned out. Even coming into February, Curry was already blowing everyone’s mind averaging nearly
The first-place Cavaliers visit the second-place Raptors tonight in the highlight of an eight-game NBA slate. Toronto has won nine straight at home and 17 of 20 overall — the best stretch in franchise history — to close within three games of the conference leaders. [Read more…]

The highlight of six Thursday NBA games is the surging Trail Blazers hosting the Rockets, a rematch of February 10, when Damian Lillard $9700 scored 31 points in an impressive victory. In Texas five days earlier, Lillard’s double-double was overshadowed by Portland’s defense in a 96-79 rout. [Read more…]
