Their guard depth is pretty thin right now without Calderon if someone has an off night. If Calderon's injury is extended I would think about bringing up Jimmer for a bit but I'm not sure what his contract status is, if they have to guarantee him a roster space the entire remaining season or not.

What's so hard to understand about Arron being to blame after he let Klay drop 34?

Klay and Curry usually stop themselves more than anyone else stops them. Gallo wasn't the reason Curry had an off night, he just straight up had an off night. There's a reason they're vying for that Bulls record.

11th in the east, 4 games under .500, 3 games behind Detroit for 8th place. We need to start winning games if we're going to make a push for the playoffs. We have 2 big games coming up this week that would help us a lot in the standings. Boston on Tuesday, then @ Detroit on Thursday (another TNT game).

Posting And Toasting said:
- Arron Afflalo shot 2 for 12 and actually looked like he shot worse. I don't know if it's a veteran vs. rookie thing, or that he's got a player option he's hoping to capitalize on next summer, or if he just sees the floor in a way I can't, but when Afflalo runs a pick-and-roll with Porzingis and there's a mismatch on the switch, he never feeds KP in the post. He always tries to score on the big guarding him.

Next, you're gonna tell me Avery Bradley isn't the reason Curry had an "off night" in Boston. I wasn't caught off guard that Gallo and Avery locked him up and wouldn't have been caught off guard if Arron had done it to Klay because I've seen it tons of times throughout Arron's career. He did it to Batum and Korver this season. He has just decided that he doesn't wanna play consistent defense this season. Butler and Klay have decided the same thing.

Curry and Klay can be stopped if you stay in front of them because they do not make contested shots with any kind of consistency. Most of their shots are wide open and it was the same story last night. What's difficult is getting over those screens because their bigs are huge. Bogut isn't just tall like a Tyson Chandler. He's really bulky too. Same with Draymond.

Whoever was matched up with Draymond for most of the night (it wasn't KP because he was in foul trouble) is also to blame for letting him go off for 20. Yes, Draymond scored a lot on KP, but that was a mismatch because Draymond is only 6'7''. I definitely still blame Arron for his defense, but not his offense because Klay is a forward who plays the guard position. He's 6'7'', which is bigger than Arron, and he is a great defender when he wants to be and while his defense has been trash this season, it wasn't trash last night.

Draymond is a beast:wow:but dude finally got called for a moving screen last night :pachaha:

KP is learning about these different types of players he'LL be facing on a nightly basis. He will be ok
