who's the biggest threat to the Cavs in the East? Chicago? Toronto? I think Toronto. I know they've like never won a playoff series but this feels like a year they could do it. And their home court is a real thing. The addition of Demare Carroll helps neutralize lebron somewhat. They play at Toronto tonight.

I gotta laugh at these old players talking about how Curry would have been shut down "back in the day." By whom, exactly? Kawhi can't do anything against him, Curry's too small. So neither Jordan nor Pippen I don't think would have been successful. He can pull up from anywhere and he doesn't miss. I think he would have been unstoppable in any era.

Yeah this is just old-curmudgeon speak. Curry is as dominant as Peak LeBron, maybe moreso (though my memories of LeBron destroying the Celtics and Derrick Rose's career still linger). This if from a few weeks ago, but it's probably my favorite podcast I've listened to all year: espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=14747069 It's about what Steph Curry "means" and the (sometimes troubling) implications of race on his profound popularity, among many other things. Really thoughtful conversation. I wish ESPN Truehoop would split up their podcasts to "The actual podcasts with Kevin Arnovitz" and "The Skype sessions with Amin Elhassin."

One caveat about Curry is you could take someone's head off 30 years ago. It's possible he just gets clothes lined and throats to the elbows until he stops shooting. Not really stopping him, but it's an old school tactic.

Phil Jackson is such a little bitch.
Spurs are an insane 50-9 and it doesn't even matter.

Tyron Lue is 11-6. About what you expected? Better, worse?
