I do not think that the Lakers are going to regret it, I mean that's what the results of their test. And obviously, the results are not going to lie when they physically examined them with their own team doctor.

This I will agree though, he had a lot of chance during his playing time with the Pelicans. He was still very lucky that he wasn't trade this year and chooses to go let go of Brandon Ingram because he was also injured. So this could be his last chance to proved to them that he can carry this team. But the first thing he would do is to loss that extra baggage in him. 264 lbs in his frame is still to big for a NBA player. But at least he has shown signs that he can go and do reduce that weight and be competitive so that he can also stay away from getting injured.

It's a pure shooting display on the part of Curry, and as what we have seen in their winning streak, he is somewhat rejuvenated having another great player in Butler with the Warriors and for sure Jimmy might have appreciate it as well how good Curry is and so glad that he is with them watching him.

Lakers and Warriors are the team to watch in the West now. And if everything really works well with the Warriors, they can get to the Clippers and maybe get as high as 5th-6th place as we end the regular season.

I saw a post on Facebook mentioning that on the same date in the previous years, Curry dropped more than 50 points, and some are even joking that the day should be declared Stephen Curry Day. Seriously, Curry looks different now, and there’s no other reason for that except Jimmy’s arrival. The ball movement has improved a lot, giving Curry more open looks.

By the way, what about LeBron? No one seems to be talking about him.
Lately, he’s been putting up MVP-level numbers. With his current stats and consistency, the Lakers are looking like a tough team to beat. If he keeps this up, there’s even a chance he could win another MVP, not necessarily this year, but maybe next year, as long as he stays consistent.

Is it possible to ignore a 56-point performance? It is truly a great success, he can continue to play at this level in every match and this is very proud. If you want to win a match against GSW, you have to defend the Curry well.
If there is no good defense, he can score over 50 points in that match. It is very difficult to go against him, if a few more of his friends help him, GSW will win the match. It was a really good performance

Exactly, Curry is so pesky to guard since he keeps running in circles until his team mates setup a good screen to create space for him to shoot freely. There’s no way to guard him properly since he is a shooter that makes him so hard to guard once a screen is setup which his team mates is good especially Green.

The only way to defeat Curry is to destroy his rhythm to shoot 3s but guarding him closely while he is in the zone is almost impossible to beat him.

This is the difference between shooters and paint attacker since it’s easy to create space on shooting than attacking the rim.

Luka's arrival gave the Lakers a huge boost and made them one of the championship contenders. Winning their last 4 games, the Lakers are terrorizing their opponents. LeBron's performance has also improved dramatically. In the West, the Lakers have reached a level that can cause problems for all teams. It's obvious how much they profited from the trade of the decade. As long as they are healthy, they can compete with the Thunder, Grizzlies and Nuggets for the finals.

Even at this age Curry is still showing impresive numbers and what he did last night is incredible to score so many points and so many threes. He is still by far the best player in their team and i think now he is the best in the history of Golden State. You should never give him room because he can score from any spot on the field.

I don't think they are contenders actually. They are missing some pieces like for example a real big man. Sure, having Luka is a real boost but aside LBJ who else can you 100% rely on in this team. Sure some guys can step up from time to time, like Austin Reaves for example, but those performances are not consistent enough.
The Thunder and Nuggets would still give them a lot of trouble, even an healthy Dalles in my opinion is stronger than the lakers at the moment.
And even if they get out of the west there are the Cavs or Celtics waiting (most likely) which is just the same level as the top teams in the west.

I don't think that there could be someone to stop Curry, he had like a Olympic style performance against the Magic. And even if Banchero has a a huge game as well, it was not enough as Curry shot 12 three points and that is very hard to overcome.

The best thing a defender can do is to pray that he will have a bad night. He had a good defender in him in KCP, or even 6'10 Wagner in front of him at some point as their coach try to change the tactics by putting big men in front of him, but it was not effective as all.

I remember someone says that the only way to stop him is to put a cuff on Steph, Lol.

Lol, but yes, probably Steph is really looking for those dates and then drop another 50+ points. Him and Jokic has similar like 56 points game as well. But if I'm not mistaken, Fox dropped 60 when he was still with the Kings.


Same with Curry, with the addiction of Luka, it seems a very different version of Lebron as well. Putting MVP numbers and there are not hint of him slowing down in the next couple of years unless him and Luka winning a championship together and probably that could be the passing of the torch.
