AMC WCF Game 3: 40 points / 7 assist / 5 rebound / 2 steal / 1 block 85% TS in 34 min

[warriorfan]

40 points / 7 assist / 5 rebound / 2 steal / 1 block on 85% TS in only 35 minutes.


Greatest performance of this post season by far. What was the last playoff performance that rivals the one we just saw by Steph Curry?

LeBron had monster games in 2009 but I don't think he ever reached near 85% TS%. That efficiency on that volume this deep in the playoffs is unheard of.

Yeah you are right I remember watching that game. It was unreal. Just looked up the stats and you are right he had 48 points on .939 %TS in 40 minutes. Unreal.

[Lebron23]

Respect to Curry's game. He deserves to be the MVP of this league.

[Im Still Ballin]

He might just based on the fact that the Warriors have so many options it makes Curry's life easier

But we all know who the actual better player is

I wouldn't be surprised if Iman sticks like Glue to Curry like he did to Korver...

[Heavincent]

I wouldn't be surprised if Iman sticks like Glue to Curry like he did to Korver...

Yeah because guarding Korver is similar to guarding Curry.

[Im Still Ballin]

Did i say it was similar?

It was a testament to Iman's defense, not a jab at Curry

Sound off, little guy

[Heavincent]

I misinterpreted that.

[Smook A.]

Been the best player in the playoffs.
Yeah, he has. Teams can't stop Curry no matter what they do. Seriously, the guy's amazing and he plays like a super upgraded NBA 2k character from MyPlayer. I don't think there's any way a team can stop his shot from going in unless they of course... foul him.

Many other players have averaged 40 points for entire playoff series and even the NBA Finals before so yes there's been more than just Jordan or Kobe.

[Alamо]

Lol did I just see somebody compare guarding Korver to guarding Curry?



:lol

Would Beverley be doing a better job on him? Surely he would have helped.

It was just Lebron hitting one jump shot after another, I believe he made like 10 out of his first 11 J's or something after shooting around 20% outside the paint for the Playoffs, crazy.

Agreed. In recent memory,

1. LeBron game 6 vs Celtics - down 2-3, he was a man possessed
2. Kobe game 6 vs Suns - ripped the heart out of the Suns

Curry's game 3... well, not really the same context as the above two games since the Warriors were already up 2-0

[KG215]

Asshurt OKC fan detected. Don't be mad that AMC is out performing KD's best playoff run. Just deal with it.

I'll just quote myself. Just replace "It's" with "He's".


It's not, but please, continue making an ass of yourself. You're very good at it.
You're making this too easy.

[warriorfan]

Curry is more efficient and a better play maker and better defender at his position.

Curry is a better point guard defender than Durant at defending small forwards.

Curry is the leader of a number 1 ranked Defense. Durant will probably never be a member of a number 1 ranked defense. Small Forward is too vital to a team's defense and if your wing defender is Kevin Durant you have a huge hole in your D.



Curry '15 Playoff run > KD '14 Playoff run



Deal with it.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Tell me I'm not seeing an argument for Curry > Durant. Please tell me the hype train hasn't gotten this ridiculous. :facepalm

[Cleverness]

Need to add #3, 2011 Dirk Nowitzki game 1 WCF, 12/15 FG 24/24 FT, 48/6/4/4

as ESPN likes to point out, that's 48 points on 15 "shots"

[KG215]

Curry is the leader of a number 1 ranked Defense.
:oldlol:
You're kidding, right? Green, Bogut, Iguodala, Thompson, and probably even Barnes are all better defenders than Curry.


Small Forward is too vital to a team's defense and if your wing defender is Kevin Durant you have a huge hole in your D.
Except, you know, you don't. Durant's a plus defender and every raw and advanced defensive metric over the last few years have him graded out as a damn good defender.

But, again, please go on, it's very entertaining watching you embarrass yourself.

Durant

+0.9 Defensively in 2015

"Damn good defender"

:biggums:


Curry
+0.7 Defensively in 2014
+0.8 Defensively in 2015


So according to the defensive metrics, Curry and Durant have the exact same impact on the ball defensively. Like I said before if your point guard is giving you this type of defensive impact that is fine, if your SMALL FORWARD is giving you this type of defensive impact then you are in trouble defensively. It's better to have an offensive stud in the back court and a defensive stud on the wing. It's just a better way to build a team. It's the reason why GS has Elite Offense AND Elite Defense.

You are going to be better defensively with Steph Curry at the point and a defensive minded Small Forward compared to if you had Durant at SF with a defensive minded point guard. Not to mention Steph Curry's team is going to be better at offense too. If you aren't bringing studly defense at the wing then you are hurting your team. Good defenses need elite wing defenders.

he was excellent, and he was mostly on thompson then he got injured
he should have been on curry more instead lee and conley were on him for some reason

[Heavincent]

I'd say Curry is as good, if not better than Durant ever was. Just as efficient, but a better playmaker and defender, and I think he has slightly better intangibles (although that is highly subjective).

His playoff numbers are prime Kobe esque.

This doesn't deserve a real response.

Durant is a generational talent who went toe to toe with prime LeBron, Curry is a hyped up shooter who may not be a top-5 individual player next season. There is no Curry > Durant argument to be made. They're world's apart. Curry had a great year, deserving MVP winner, but he's just not at that level. I doubt he ever will be.

No he doesn't. They might be retarded shots for anybody else, but not him. When you're that efficient, you have every right to be taking those shots.

You basically just admitted his dominance. He takes stupid shots, but is still one of the most efficient players in the league :bowdown:

Wade had 80+TS% in 3 out of the first 4 games of the 2006 ECF (against Pistons):

It was just about a scorer doing that well in general. He didn't mean the exact criteria of 40 points on >85% TS, because neither Kobe nor Jordan ever did that.

All of LeBron, Durant, Dirk, and Kobe have 40+ point games with 60-70+ TS% over the last 4 years. Only one of them ever did it on a TS% >80 though, and that was Dirk - twice.

Curry is likely the GOAT shooter, but I honestly think he could shoot 50+% on 3s if he was more selective. He's that good of a shooter. It's a testament to how unprecedented his talent as a shooter is that he remains efficient with his poor shot selection.

Still can't call someone a chucker though if the shots go in. To me a chucker has to be someone who shoots more than they should, or excessively takes shots they shouldn't. Curry doesn't shoot more than he should, and there's no shot he shouldn't be taking anyways lol, outside of halfcourt heaves.
