How is this man not an All-Star? Stephen Curry scored 54 points, the most in the NBA in more than six years. He hit eleven 3-pointers on 13 attempts. With David Lee suspended for the previous night’s wrestling match, Curry played all 48 minutes and very nearly won the game singlehandedly. [Read more…]
How do you know when a team you thought was decent is truly in trouble? When – and apology in advance to the player about to be mentioned – the coach of your team believes Damien Wilkins is one of the best players on the team.

When you’re going up against the Indiana Pacers, here’s what you have to expect: a tough, physical and defensive-minded game. The Golden State Warriors ran into just that on Tuesday night – and more. Halfway into the fourth quarter, David Lee – perhaps frustrated from something that may have happened on a previous play – gave Roy Hibbert a blatant shove on a box-out right after a whistle, prompting the center to shove back in retaliation. Lee then responded by throwing
