Curry with 40/9/5 and the clutch game tying shot.. hold this W Steph

[TheMarkMadsen]

Best performance of the playoffs so far

Meh, it was alright. Gotta give it to him for that clutch 3, but he was getting bailed out on his chucking by numerous offense rebounds.

Curry played bad for most of the game until 4th and OT. He was clutch though huge dagger 3's he made.

gotta watch the game honestly that's the problem with boxscores.

40/9/5 on 57% TS. Draining an impossible level of difficulty 3 pointer to tie with 2 seconds remaining. As well as many other daggers during the overtime win.

Pelicans went SOFT and couldn't get ONE rebound. Curry threw up bricks and airballs but his team got the offensive rebound and put it in for a quick score. Has nothing to do with Curry. Warriors are a great team.

It doesn't matter what you "think''. The team that is more efficient per possession is the team that wins, and stats like TS and ORTG do a infinitely better job of measuring that than FG% does. You must be one of those morons who think Wizards Jordan and Prime Kobe have roughly equal efficiency because they both shot at a 45% FG.

The problem with FG% is that its a very simple statistic that nevertheless badly distorts the information presented. The more complicated the statistic, the more potential distortions. So if you're looking at a stat as simple as FG%, you want as little distortion as possible.
To put it another way, no decent statistic would use base FG% as a component; they should always use underlying components (2pt% and 3pt% as a minimum). That means FG% only really has value as an easy stat to glance at, and as easy stats to glance at go, its crap. Comparing overall efficiency using FG% is just very misleading.

[SpecialQue]

The Warriors won the game because Curry came through when it mattered. It makes no sense to shit on him because he played like crap early in the game when he was directly responsible for the win. Are people so fvcking obsessed by stat sheets that they don't get this? Are great stats and an L that much more preferable?

[Jailblazers7]

I see people on the first page saying Curry doesn't have a high bball IQ, which I think is kind of silly. He takes a lot of bad shots because he has the green light 100% of the time. Part of that is he is a good bad shot maker so his team excepts it and it gives him a false confidence. But he is clearly a smart player. In a more disciplined system he would probably be an insanely efficient player (even tho he already is).

Riiiiiiiiight..... :applause:

Easy and very striking example is if you were to compare a low FT% big with an efficient shooter who prioritizes getting to the line and taking 3s. Say, Shaq and Harden, just as prime examples of people who stick out. Shaq's FG% for his career is 58%~, and Harden's is 45%~. That's a massive difference. But Shaq is missing out on the bonus points from 3s that Harden gets very efficiently and shoots 35% worse from the free throw line which are generally really efficient uses of possessions.
So, instead of just distinguishing between the 3 and giving us 3 different percentages, TS% does the work for us and basically asks the question: How many points do you get for every possession you use that ends in a shot or free throw. That's compared to the question that FG% asks, which is: How many shots do you make out of shots you take.
Sorry that this explanation still uses a lot of percentages, numerical values, and shit. I'm not really sure how to remove them and leave a coherent explanation that really emphasizes how big of a deal the difference between TS% and FG% can really be.

Exactly. Scorers that shoot as well as Curry shouldn't shy away after a strech of missed shots especially if they were smart quality shots.

As a point guard though he could have distributed more but he is the guy on that team and I don't fault him at all for continuing firing away. That incredible 3 saved the game.

FG% isn't more important than a win.

I don't see the issue here. It really wasn't a great game by Steph.

He came through at the end so all is forgiven but his bad shooting and dumb shot selection were part of the reason they were in that hole to begin with.

Mind you, by this time I thought the game was lost, so by time I get back to the crib my surprise it's in OT, how? Why? Because Curry trusted in his fuccing shot. That amazing corner three he made to cut it down was after a miss, so this notion that you should pad FG% just because you've had a rough game is loser mentality shit.

That's too particular of a statement to say they were in the hole Because of Curry , if not a flat out fallacy. The entire Team had a rough shooting night.

They were missing defensive assignments and turning the ball over right up til like the 6 minute mark in the fourth where it all just came together for GSW.

You FG% heads must be in a real deal pickle when ever the best player on your Team is having a bad shooting night yet the game is still within reach.

Does he keep shooting? Should he become passive? Put the fate of the game in his Team's hands when they're looking for him? :hammerhead:

I never said solely because of Curry. I said he was PART of the reason.

The rest of your post isn't relevant to what I said. Never said anything about FG%.

Without the ORebs and huge choke by NO it's an off night. As it is, he came through in the end and was super clutch. Shouldn't have even been given the opportunity though.

Those two key factors mean they won the game, nothing to do with NO choke jobs or whatever, they were still in it right up til Bogut stuffed Davis.

Hate you missed it in live action. Reminded me of Ray's shot in the Finals though without near the importance obviously.

Amazing shot with AD bearing down feet away knowing he was going to get tackled and no foul? Really?

I think EJ said that the game was only the third in the shot clock era where a team was down 20 going into the 4th and won. It was a mixture of poor defensive rebounding by the Pelicans and not fouling Curry to prevent a 3 in the 4th.

Great game though IMO. It's going to get in Curry's scrapbook of classic playoff performances one day.

2 out of how many attempts? He had as many airballs as he did shots made...

Pelicans went SOFT and couldn't get ONE rebound. Curry threw up bricks and airballs but his team got the offensive rebound and put it in for a quick score. Has nothing to do with Curry. Warriors are a great team.
He took 29 shots to get 40 points thats still good.

[Hey Yo]

And all anyone intelligent is saying is

1) Curry still won the game

2) 40 points on 29 shots isn't bad

3) 40/9/5 while being clutch is up there for the best game this postseason.


It's not even debatable.
It isn't bad if the majority of your shots are 2pt'ers, but more than half of his shots were from 3. (18 of the 29fga were from 3)

That's a lot of points that could have been had.

Plus 14fta seems a little high for a guy who basically lives on the perimeter.

you know Curry is rustling some jimmies when he goes for 40 points with the game tying shot and still gets hated on

Much tougher shot than Ray's IMO

I agree. Davis was right there.

The shot actually reminds me of this..

Obviously KD's was much tougher and only needed 1 shot

One of my favorite shots from my favorite player.

****ing hurting this Durantless postseason.

same, KD's is tougher but Curry's is actually more of a foul.

That's what makes it okay. Even when having a mediocre shooting night he still put in 7 three's, yes on 18 attempts, but still hit SEVEN triples. That means, NO had to meet him out behind the three point line, by a few steps. That means he still drew doubles on every pick whether off the ball or with the ball.

Does anyone wonder if for some of those rebounds were a result of bigs having to step out towards Curry or at least wait for him to shoot before going to the glass?

And don't say Curry lives on the perimeter this year if you haven't watched the Warriors play. He gets to the rim very well and relatively easily.

[Budadiiii]

In reality though KD was bumped during the shot and Curry got lightly brushed after leaning forwards into Davis.

If anything, it's an offensive foul on Steph.

Make sense a Kobe stan would make a thread praising a 10-29 shooting night.

:lol

A spurs fan now a warriors fan? makes sense, a spurs fan would bandwagon every other year
