RonArtest15 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yo, Kyrie and CP3, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but I just got to say Steph Curry has the best handle in the NBA http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/1/5/7498729/stephen-curry-burns-the-thunder-with-a-super-fast-dribble-through-the/in/7261004 I watched it about 5x this morning...his handles are sick.

Going Commando Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yo, Kyrie and CP3, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but I just got to say Steph Curry has the best handle in the NBA http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/1/5/7498729/stephen-curry-burns-the-thunder-with-a-super-fast-dribble-through-the/in/7261004 He didn't need to do that dribble but that move is impressive. Westbrook probably fouled him too, did he get that call? Also, that right hand finish is nice. The defender thought he was going to go up with his left. Curry has a Larry Bird-esque feel for the ball in his hands only with the agile feet and coordination of a guard. I could second a vote for him having the best handle on the ball, you see it extend to the way he shoots. But I have a minor gripe, why do people always ignore Rondo when they talk about the best handles in the NBA? The ball is like a youth league ball in his hands and he brings it up court about a foot off the ground. It's like he has magnets in his hands or something. Same for how he picks people's pockets so easily. And some of the passes he effortlessly makes are absurd. He's got absolutely amazing hands. Plus he's quick as a cat and very creative. I think he's got the best handle in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Such a lightning quick move from Curry to get around the defense. Stephen Adams has some quick feet. He loses Curry and gets turned around beyond the three point line and almost recovered to the rim in time to contest. That kid is toolsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's got the best handle in the league. Rondo has great handles, but to be honest, CP3 is still probably the best. Not flashy, but always under complete control no matter how much traffic is around him. I think Curry probably did need to make that dribble if he intended to drive the lane. The way Westbrook was coming in, Curry was going to be forced away to the corner. The move flatfooted Westbrook and got Curry past him to the rim.

Destino Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) CP3s turnover number is a testament to his insane handles. Always has the ball, is always near the top in assists, but incredibly averages less than 2.5 turnovers.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't go that far about Atlanta. As well as they're playing, I'm still not totally buying into them as a serious playoff contender. I guess they're going to have to rip off a postseason run to convince me. I'm going to be the last one on that bandwagon.I mean they are smacking good teams on a regular basis. Convincingly. They have beaten LAC, HOU, WSH, CHI, and POR. Only team they have trouble with is TOR. They are just insanely deep. Edited January 6, 2015 by BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeWolf990 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 CP3 has the best handles. Curry is up there. Kyrie's just the most flashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Not terrible but the Thunder are preparing themselves to let Jackson leave. I can't imagine Waiters really improving enough to cover for Jackson leaving next year. Still cheap ownership. Good. Keep proving to KD you aren't willing to do what it takes to build a championship winning roster and he'll be coming back home in a year and a half.

EvilMonkeyBoy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 More dealin' in Cleveland. Mozgov is comin' to the midwest.http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--cavs-acquire-timofey-mozgov-from-nuggets-205848251.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter In pursuit of a center to stabilize their roster, the Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Denver Nuggetscenter Timofey Mozgov for two future first-round picks, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The Cavaliers will send the Nuggets two picks they control via the Memphis Grizzlies andOklahoma City Thunder, a league source told Yahoo. Mozgov is the only player in the trade. The Memphis first-round pick is largely unprotected in 2017 (top five), and could become a late lottery pick in 2016 if the Grizzlies dramatically fall off. The protections on the pick from Memphis: Nos. 1-5 and 15-30 in 2015; 1-5 and 15-30 in '16; 1-5 in '17 and 1-5 in 2018; unprotected in 2019. The protections on the OKC pick: Nos. 1-18 in 2015; 1-15 in '16; 1-15 in 2017. After 2017, it becomes two seconds I think they paid a bit too steep of a price for him, but on the Denver side it looks like a great deal considering Nurkic's rapid development.

EvilMonkeyBoy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It looks like they are at least getting a 2nd back from Denver, not that it helps that much but it's better than nothing.At least he likes playing for Blatt, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Looks like the Cavs saw the light and realized Kyrie is a shooting guard. He's playing along side Delladova tonight and isn't worried about assists (he has none at halftime). He can focus on scoring, which he does extremely well (he has 23 points already).

THE HAWKS. Swipe Right Night was a success. 10 point win over the Griz after being tied late in the 4th. Teague has broken through.
