I’ve never had one bad experience with Danny V, and last season when the A’s had a lot of talk about a bad clubhouse, it was Brett Lawrie who got shipped out, not Valencia.

Last year the A’s had Valencia, Fuld, and Ike Davis. It was pretty great.

Danny V WAS a platoon player until he figured something out last year and started hitting the shit out of RHP too. (Last year 140 WRC+ against RHP) That last homerun was off a RHP.

Yeah maybe has something to do with steph playing less that 60 minutes in the previous 2 series of basketball. He’s not just gonna come back and be completely normal.

Well. Theyve been as good as Golden State as long as Golden State is missing the best basketball player in the planet and is giving minutes to Ian Clark and Anderson Varejao on the same line.

Small playoff sample aside, they’ve been a better team with Delly at PG. That kid is monster on D, even if guarding steph put him in the hospital.

Warriors in five.

You think it’s hard to get FA pitchers in Denver? Try getting them to DF.

After the refs jobbed the sharks out of the game winning goal 40 minutes earlier.

That ball was hit hard for sure, but it mostly went real high. Projected distance was 435. The reason you never see balls hit there is because when you hit balls that high usually the wind gets to it.

Charles fucking Barkley? Are you shitting me? Have you ever seen him play defense?!

He’s also every bit the genetic freak someone like Lebron James is. A 1.08 wingspan ratio with a linebackers lower body and core, with the quickness to be beat off the dribble and still get a block at the rim like he did with McCullum and Dame last night.

He lost 7 million because of Draft position but how much did he gain by going to a state with no income tax?

Question for you anchoweresque: do I give a fuck?

Living and dying by the three point line by the three point line is a recipe for playoff disaster. Obviously it’s better than losing when you make them, but what happens when they dry up?

But what if he doesn’t have any pages at all?!?

I’m not even sure diaw is a mismatch for the small unit. Also the “small unit” is a weird title for a team where every person but steph is 6'7 and with longer arms.

Timmy isnt getting very many minutes in a series against the Warriors I can guarantee you that. He got systematically dismantled in PnRs in game 3 and Kerr didn’t even keep going to that well.

No player on the team is in the top 25 minutes per game. Team is really smart about minutes distribution

Going out on a limb here, but I think they are going to win the Championship.
