DONE with Draymond Green

This is the last time I'll utter Draymond's name. I'm #DONE with him (h/t @barstoolbigcat). I was unhappy with him for kicking Steven Adams in the sack, but I wasn't going to be completely finished with him. This is the last straw though. He overstepped his boundaries. KANTER IS AN ANGEL! 

Draymond just made the biggest mistake of his life. Aside from my #done status with him, he has also brought on the wrath of Turkey because they will stand for their favorite son and fight this injustice. I will not utter his name anymore because it is disrespectful to speak poorly of the dead. RIP in peace and sorry you screwed up. Your team will be able to join you in the afterlife soon.

Haha the NBA is a joke!

This made me chuckle. Way to be consistent with the punishments boys. Thank the lord you got the terror that is Dahntay Jones aka the Cavs last man off the bench suspended for his below the belt. It's good to see that the NBA is showing the players who is in charge and not accepting these low blows from anyone. Oh, wait. Apparently that's not the case if you're a star player. 

Glad to know the NBA is taking Draymond seriously. With this massive $25,000 fine I'm sure that he won't do this again. Much like Doug telling Shooter about Happy getting suspended, I am envisioning Adam Silver trying to justify only fining Draymond rather than suspending him because "the ratings are the highest they've ever been." I'm laying the challenge down to OKC, someone had better dropkick Draymond in the sack or else they look weak. We'll be watching, don't let us down.

Golden State Ruined the NBA

 

Hear me out on this one. Yes, Golden State plays the fun brand of basketball that we all loved as kids where we could line up and jack 3s all day long. Does that make me jealous? Slightly. It reminds me of a time back in elementary school when my team had 4 shooters who lived behind the line and an overgrown 7th grader who lacked coordination. We were essentially the Dwight Howard teams in Orlando. We had strong performances and played the fun style of basketball. Did we win the title? Nah bro. We were just out there shooting 3s and having fun.

How does this relate to Golden State? Funny you should ask that. You aren't supposed to be able to have that much fun and dominate like they are. Have all of these years watching the boring Spurs dominate taught them nothing?! I want an investigation into the Warriors because something should be illegal out of this. These guys are jacking shots up that I don't even throw up in games of 21. It's madness!!

LeBron is my boy, but I don't see him even being able to mess with these Warriors barring a Steph injury. Coming off back to back MVPs, it seems like an injury is the only thing that could keep Steph from having his way with the league for years. The only other option would be a massive scandal that derailed him and the Warriors. I'm not recommending that you start a rumor about Steph, but I'm not going to stop you if you make that decision. Feel free to send all hot tips to smithbrossports@gmail.com.

Steph Curry Goes Back-to-Back

Curry Wins Second Straight MVP

As if there were any doubt, Steph Curry will be announced the NBA's Most Valuable Player for a second year in a row. Curry posted mind-boggling numbers that would be hard to replicate in a video game. A more impressive two year run would be hard to find. 

In the 2014-15 campaign, Curry averaged 23.8 PPG, nearly a career-high, but hit an NBA record 286 three pointers. He led his team to a league-best 67-15 record. Pretty impressive, huh? Oh, and they also won the NBA Finals. 

Fast-forward to this year. Considering that the Warriors rested Curry considerably this year, he still expounded on last year's results. Despite only averaging 34.2 minutes per game, Curry led the league in scoring with 30.1 PPG. For comparison, James Harden (next on the list) averaged 29 PPG while playing four more minutes per game than Steph. 

Remember the 286 threes he hit last year that set the NBA record? He dropped 402 this season. The Milwaukee Bucks hit 440 for the year. Curry hit threes at a .454 clip also. The next most made belongs to Splash Brother Klay Thompson who hit a respectable 276. 

Whether you like it or not, Steph Curry is quickly becoming the best player in the league. He topped last year's NBA MVP season with other worldly numbers. At 28, he's on the brink of most players' prime years. What more can, will, he do?
