is that it’s NOT a point at all. It’s totally irrelevant. The fact that Dub fans are using this as a way to knock him is ludicrous. The notion that he isn’t a good defender is ludicrous as well. The article that spurred all this was a mix of blatant exaggerations mixed in with some FG% stats. Cherry pick all you want, but Evans homers can make a case for his ROY candidacy without writing an article about Curry that lists one positive, and then listing a bunch of subjectively negative attributes as if those negate the whole body of work.

That Tyreke often had the opposing team’s best defender on him, which probably had something to do with his lower scoring efficiency. Not saying I can prove that, but it’s worth a mention.

that’s why I was so happy to be better than them this year. If we lost our 3rd position to anyone else, I’d have been pissed.

Unfortunately for Curry, that fact is probably what will cost him ROY.

Come on now…..

Nobody at SBN voted for Jennings. I know that much for certain.

Here was the original statement in that thread:

Yeah, the story is so packed full of non-truths regarding Evans’ game. I started a well-intentioned and even response for their thread over there, but decided that there was no point or use.

I find it interesting that we (as a whole) have respect for Curry’s game – most of us would even love to acquire him for anyone not named Tyreke Evans. But the simple fact is that Evans was better than Curry when you review the entire season – and this award is given for the entire season. Perhaps that is why they feel the need to denegrate Evans over there – so that they can knock him down to Curry’s size.

It’s too bad that they just can’t enjoy the fact that they got a steal in Curry, and that in many other years he would have been the clear-cut choice for rookie of the year.

And 1 – I have always had the utmost respect for Dubs fans. They have always been intelligent about the game of basketball and passionate about their team. Many of these Dubs fans still exist. But it seems that there is now a generation that knows not Thurmond, knows not Clifford Ray, knows not Franklin Mieuli, knows not Bill King. These are the posers that show up in threads here (or at ARCO) with no intention other than to inflame and perturb. And my bet is that these morons perturb true Warriors fans even more than they perturb us.

(and whose fault is that? If you have 6 healthy players (or 5) and don’t bother to field a legitimate roster? Did they find out all these guys were hurt 5 minutes before tipoff?)

-We traded for injured players, albeit before the injury bug went from disastrous to catastrophic; especially considering there were still plenty of question marks about how good the team could be healthy.
-Many of our players went down with season ending injury
-We spent much of the year with a player exemption, it’s not like we could have gone out to get more to fill in the roster, we already had 16, and then
-You’d be dumb and liable to get sued if you played injured players and they made it worse.

Either way I don’t get the hate about Tyreke (and Curry) going for stats. Deflecting the debate, but Blatche going for his (failed) trip double definitely takes the cake there.

Curry was definitely going for it, but he didn’t get it because of a team mate. His last rebound was offensive and it managed to come right to him.

He didn’t include LeBron in his “I hate it when people compare…” list. LeBron’s statistics are a fair comparison, it would seem. However, if anybody thinks that Evans is going to have a LeBronesque impact on the NBA landscape, they need to have their head examined.

only to have the next crop of good young players on the Cats called up to the A’s, and then traded away for new talent to be put on to the Rivercats, who then get called up to replace the other guys traded….you see where this keeps going. But yah the Rivercats are a good minor league team to go watch, and Raley field is a nice ballpark.

  They got a nice stadium with fireworks after the game in the warm valley night, so yeah it’s a great time out.

this makes me laugs we got more wins then you(with 8 players) and you go and say you have a brighter future hahahahahaab what a joke!!! We will be better run when Ellison or someone else buys the team don’t forget that.

I can’t speak for Deuschy McPrejudice, but we did win more games this year. And last year. Both years, we had to deal with a ton of health/drama issues. Meanwhile, you guys enjoyed a pretty healthy year (outside of Martin & Garcia, nobody missed more than 10 games). Please explain to me why the Kings are so much better off than the Warriors.

It was all about the rivers and the transportation issue. Sacto was ideally suited for the purpose in those days. Today LA would probably be the best place but they got the Lakers and don’t need the Kings.
