That is, I admit, amazing. What's scary is how many he's already taken! Kerr made 726 his entire career - Curry has already made 644. Drazen Petrovic (4th) only made 255 total!

What was the name of that guy who played for the first Bulls three-peat who won the 3-point contest three years running until they didn't invite him back? Surprised he's not on the list.

Who's had the best 3 point % over a season?

I believe it is Steve Kerr. Well over 50%.

Bird didn't shoot threes all that often.

And I missed the conversation on Sam Presti but I still think hes a premier GM, you guys are just begging for a reason to trash the Thunder.

Perkins looks like shit, but the move was made at the time because the road to the finals ran through Bynum and the Lakers. Things have changed since then, but they still have the amnesty if they need it. The Durant pick was a no brainer, but he nailed the Westbrook pick and that was a bit of a shocker at the time, nailed the Harden pick, found Ibaka late in round 1, drafted Maynor and Reggie Jackson with late picks. Who has a better track record in the draft in the last several years? Thats a pretty incredible run. Hes gotten some nice bargain basement pickups on guys who were cast away from previous teams in Sefolosha and Thabeet.

Hes getting trashed for the Harden trade but what else was he supposed to do? They couldn't keep all three and Ibaka. I think they'd be just as screwed without Westbrook as they would be without Harden. They were still the best regular season team in the west and the favorite to get to the finals no?

He's half a gm then? He can draft but sucks at everything else.

You trade westbrook for another star and keep Harden, westbrook is an inefficient chucker.

He made some nice bargain basement FA signings. They're not big players in the FA market for obvious reasons so I'd add that to his pluses. And again how can you say his trades have turned out poorly? Seems like there were no better offers for Harden and ownership wasn't going to pay him. Perkins trade was a bust, but Jeff Green is just starting to "break out" and hes still not even a starter. Is he supposed to pull highway robbery with every trade to be considered good at what he does?

They could have traded Westbrook but they'd be PG-less. Westbrooks not the most efficient guy but don't they have an incredible record when he scores 20+? There's some stat out there that gets floated around during TV broadcasts a lot. If they dealt Westbrook instead he'd have flourished on his own just like Harden did, the Thunder would have taken a step backward anyway and we'd be having the same debate and wondering why a contender dumped a star player at the most important position in the league.

Westbrook can get to the basket at will. There is no one in the league who can guard him.
 
Curtain call for Knicks? They're the only team remaining in the playoffs that I like.

Still room on the Pacers, Spurs or Grizzlies bandwagon.

The Heat bandwagon is full of shit chomping mongers. I'd stay away from them.

Shumpert on fire from 3. Can they keep it up? Anthony is unstoppable tonight, too.

Early in season, I talked about Knicks playing well and Shumpert wasn't even back yet and someone in here bashed me saying that Shumpert was a joke of a player who would make no impact. I wish I could find that post....
 
Anthony visibly acting like he's injured ... again. He's like a soccer player.
 
No limping from Anthony after getting called with the charge and getting swatted by Hibbert.

I think he's my most hated player in the NBA right now.

Anthony is the greatest player of our lifetime.
 
This is Indiana's chance to reach the ECF for first time since 2000. Right now, at home, up 3, 4 minutes left.
 
Lance Stephenson is perhaps the greatest player in NBA history.
 
Felton finally gets some run.

Oh, and Jason Kidd, your career called. It's over.
 
My rooting interest in the NBA Playoffs is slipping away for the first time in my lifetime. I've always had a team to root for right through the Finals. Can't believe it ends for me in the second round.
