While we don't like to compare eras, Steve, my NBA fantasy is that your 80s Lakers with Jabbar, Magic, and Worthy will sweep, err, I mean beat them Bulls team, any of those 6.

My opinion mirrors yours. One of the best team ever and my favorite player of all time the Great Earvin "magic" Johnson.
Curry is getting ridiculous.. I mean, what was that flip late in the 4th quarter in the middle of a forrest of people that went straight in the basket? When it happens once it is a fluke.. Flipping the ball like that and just walking away without looking to your side of the court while the ball is sinking all net ..!!! And the score rather close!? Can someone be that good? Have you ever seen a person running all around the court with the chasers out of breath and the person stopping to shoot a dagger,like that??!!?? The kid has been re-writing what we thought was possible. Lebron's numbers are good to impressive, they pale compared to Curry's... Curry court awareness is Magic-like and his shooting is ..well.. Curry-like
.. Unique player, a specimen, a player for the Ages. If he maintains something close to this level of play , he enters in the conversation for Best Ever.

Curry is still young. So his future looks oh so bright. He can be in the Best Ever conversation indeed.
There seems to be something fantastic in the player development department of the Warriors. Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, how did they get so good so quick. Comparatively, the draft picks of the C's are still finding their way out of the locker room.

How about Curry's shot from 70 feet at the end of the 3rd quarter which was nothing but net but didn't beat the buzzer
That should be worth 7 points.
He wasn't surprised it went in, just wanted to tell the referee it should have counted.
Didn't see that one !! He's been doing this too often to be a fluke-shot... Maybe they should come out with a 5-point line

Frantz. You can see the shot at about the 1:50 mark of this video

The "flip" I mentioned was at around 2:18 on this video.. then at 2:50 .. he did another crazy-for-any-normal-NBA-player-but-routine-for-Curry shot.. !!

Now this is interesting not only about a possible return to LA by Phil but a suggestion that Jeannie might be removing brother Jim from his position.

Would Phil come back to take on another losing team? Seems he hasn't done much to help the Knicks.
At least the ridiculous Kobe farewell tour is over and he wouldn't have to contend with that.
Kobe took $50 million from the Lakers over the past two years. Easiest money ever and he didn't have to wear a mask or carry a gun.
Sorry, but I am burned out on Kobe and his bogus retirement tour.
The Bulls, with a core of Butler, Rose, Gasol, Noah, and Mirotic misses the playoffs, who would have thought.
Phil Jackson had to fire his coach but that did not spark the Knicks either. It seems Phil has to get rid of Melo but his contract is huge and long term. Kobe has delayed the team's rebuild by many years and this farewell tour is doing nothing than boosting his ego as some sort of living legend.

I tend to agree with your last statement but it is selling tickets around the league and tickets this Wednesday st Staples are going for $20K
And Houston, who figured in the Western Finals against the Warriors last season, is fighting for the last spot in the West, and might miss the playoffs as well. Dallas, with a good team on paper, is hogging 7th and Utah at 8th.
The reason why Houston will not make to the Finals? Dwight Howard.
We can remember Lebron passing the ball away when he had to take the shot a few years back. The rebooted version of LBJ, after his first year and loss in the NBA Finals, who came back to win, almost by himself, the Championship and wants now to run his team and perhaps the NBA?... Dwight would need a similar change of heart/personality to help win a Championship or even allow his team to. It may not be in him.

The Lakers crowd is a corporate crowd. Every day fans can't afford to go to the games as the ticket prices are very expensive. Even 200 level seats behind the baskets are over $300.00 a pop.
I'm watching the Clippers game on TNT. Charles Barkley just picked the Clippers as the team with the best shot at knocking off the Warriors in the playoffs.
I am accustomed to Charles dogging the Clippers every chance he gets. Have to check to see if my ears are cleean.
By the way, Kenny did not agree with Charles.
