How lost would Curry be against 88-91 Pistons?

[Straight_Ballin]

When we look at Jordan we see a man that averaged 30/7/6 on 50% against the Pistons in the 1988-1991 playoffs. He went up against Rodman and Dumars and the Jordan Rules.

How badly would Curry get shut down in those playoff games against the pistons? What would his numbers look like?

Please no "what the fvck you talking about man... ANYONE would be lost against them not named Jordan" type comments.

This is about how lost Curry would be.

Not Kobe, not Lebron, not Da Real Lambo... but Curry.

[tontoz]

It is so easy to shut down a guy who can shoot from 30 feet off the dribble. He would be lucky to average 10 ppg.

[Gus Hemmingway]

Lost without dray n klay



Ayeeeeeeeee

[Sigmund Freud]

Your posts simply reek of insecurity, mein knabbe. Come into my office for further analysis.

[Straight_Ballin]

It is so easy to shut down a guy who can shoot from 30 feet off the dribble. He would be lucky to average 10 ppg.

So Curry would be shooting 30 feet off the dribble against all-nba defense like Dumars and Rodman and against a "Curry Rules" type defense?

One hit in the lane in 88 that Jordan constantly absorbed and Curry would probably be injured for the entire playoffs.

[sd3035]

Curry would average over 40 a game in that weak defensive era

[Smoke117]

If we're talking purely defense...Riles Knicks teams were much better than the Pistons.

[Straight_Ballin]

Curry would be lost against "curry rules"
One hit, he's out the entire series.

[tontoz]

A guy with elite handles who is arguably the best shooter in history and has a quick release isn't going to be shut down by anyone. He might have a bad game here and there but nobody is shutting him down over a 7 game series.

Lmao dude shot below 45% against the ****ing cavs. Let's be real here

[Quickening]

This.

[Quickening]

Lmao dude shot below 45% against the ****ing cavs. Let's be real here

He shot an efg of 54 percent, the stat you use on people who shoot lots of threes... MJ averaged 51 percent efg for his career.

Currys a better shooter in a tougher era, he would rapein that chitty defence 80/90s

[r0drig0lac]

he would suffer physically and would not finish this series healthy

[Showtime80']

Tougher era!?!? LOL!!! No hand checking, flagrant fouls and a 3 seconds in the paint rule to open up the lane even more for God's sake!

This is an era where James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Jimmy frigging Butler are stars and not to long ago Dwight "the most limited offensive center ever" was the best big man in the entire league!!!

The 1980's was a big man's physical league! A short soft jump shooting little chump like Curry wasn't winning anything in that era, just ask Michael Adams and Dale Ellis

[ShawkFactory]

How lost would the Pistons be with a guy who can shoot and handle like curry?

[Jameerthefear]

i'm an insecure stan
ok

[Jameerthefear]

it amazes me that people think that the teams who rarely had to defend 3 pointers are better equipped/know how to defend them than the teams that play in an era where it's the most important shot

How many 3s would his coach allow him to take though? I don't think he'd be lost, hed still be great...But transported as is he might not be given the same greenlight, and would have to adjust. Or, maybe he'd change the way of thinking.

Can't think of it like that.

That's like saying KAJ wouldn't be as good in today's league because he'd change his way of thinking and work on his 3 point shot (exaggerating but you get the point) instead of his post moves.

[Showtime80']

It amazes me that people think that the 3 point shot was invented 2 years ago and it's shot in a 50 foot rock and jock basket!

You want to know why teams are taking a record number of 3's? THEY HAVE TOO! That's what the death of dominant post players has brought to the NBA!

Plus you can't touch these guys anymore, let's see Curry get those shots off against a prime Rodman or Cooper draped all over him for 48 minutes!

Once he makes 4 in a row in 52 seconds I have a feeling coach would perhaps change his thoughts on the 3 ball when it comes to curry

[jongib369]

that's just such a dumb argument that it isn't worth addressing
You're a moron if you think a coaches gameplan wouldn't have an impact, or the general style of play back then. I'm not arguing he wouldn't be as good, just posibly forced to take less of them. He would be/is a great shooter from anywhere so he wouldn't be impacted much. Did you miss the part where I said maybe he'd change the way of thinking? You have to remember these coaches grew up in a time where the 3 was thought of as a gimmick shot, but he's so good at it he could probably change the the mind of even the most stubborn coach

the argument isn't that curry transported and growing up back then it's what he'd be if he just went back in time.
and who cares? there's not even a point of bringing that up. it's like saying what if hakeem grew up in today's era where guard play and 3 point shooting is encouraged instead of post play. it's just a dumb argument that doesn't fit anywhere.

[Straight_Ballin]

Are we talking about the same Curry? I'm talking about Steph, not Seth.

Steph Curry had trouble with a backcourt of Delladova/Shumpert who weren't even allowed to touch him. Yet somehow he's going to magically score 40 points against all NBA first defensive team Rodman/Dumars who are hand-checking him and the rest of the pistons applying "Curry Rules" on him?!

GTFO. He'd be lost and no where near putting up 40 ppg :lol

Jordan in today's league facing what Curry faces is 40 ppg.

And yet teams scored far more ppg in the 80s and 90s... but somehow all players ppg from today would drastically drop due to the "brutal" defences :lol :roll:

Oh and Curry shot 26 points on 55 percent efg... hardly stuggled

Work on your reading comprehension, or slow down before rushing to judgement. I specifically said transported back as is, not grown up back then.

And your argument wouldn't change Hakeems style of play at all. We'd know what he could do, because there a difference between bringing someone to the past, than the future. And if you make us forget about him, his style of play would still fit in with game plans just fine. Curry, unless the coach isn't dumb would adjust to him. I'm just bringing up the way of thinking back then from how I understand it....Which very well could be wrong. It toik a long time for the league to start taking as many 3s, even with excellent 3 point shooters back then.

But to repeat, Curry is so good the coach very well coul give him the same green light.

I would hope that he would have 55 % efg against players who can't even touch him on defense.

Teams scored more ppg in the 80's and 90s because there were more shots being taken closer to the basket at higher efficiency!

Does anyone who tries to debate with me on here ever construct a post that doesn't prove my original point? :confusedshrug:

I'm not saying he's wrong, but rather dismissing Curry might not have the same greenlight completely is silly. The further back you go, the more likely it is he wouldn't. Unless it was the 30s, then he'd be taking 35+foot shots, as they did, while laughing his ass off lol

[Clifton]

It depends what his team was like. Warriors have a wide-open offense that moves the ball well and everyone can hit the 3. It doesn't matter how your defense is: if there's nobody guarding the paint cause all 5 defenders are guarding the 3pt line, the layups is going to be just as wide open.

I would like to see How Curry would handle going from having Isaiah or Dumars on him to Rodman off the switch rather than the guys who switch on him now (DeAndre Jordan, Love, etc). But I'm inclined to think he would simply hit his screener for the hockey assist or Klay with a PG guarding him and it would look much the same as it does today.

Roughing up Curry has been tried, it doesn't keep him from scoring. And handchecking etc is irrelevant against the Warriors because they do most of their damage off the ball or after a screen.

Almost all of Curry's 3s are 25 feet out, with 2 guys trying to guard him, off the dribble, and he's fouled after the shot. What could the Bad Boys do that isn't already being done?

Steph Curry had trouble with a backcourt of Delladova/Shumpert who weren't even allowed to touch him. Y.


Steph had so much trouble he averaged 26 ppg in the series, 10 pts more than anyone on the team, with a TS of 58%.

[tontoz]

And why were there more shots inside taken inside with higher efficiency given that the spacing was worse back then? After all there weren't as many guys taking 3.

[LAKingKobe]

Like a previous guy said. You seem insecure about something. Resorting to talking about "curry rules" which is a part of basketball that is not even that relevant to the skill of a game.
Curry would average around 40-45. The guards back then were not as strong defensively as the ones these days. And that era is so weak.

[Straight_Ballin]

Steph had so much trouble he averaged 26 ppg in the series, 10 pts more than anyone on the team, with a TS of 58%.

If you want to see how much trouble he really had, then take a look at games 1,3, and 5. Again, this is against a bench player who isn't used to playing major minutes who is not allowed to touch Curry without getting a foul.

Game 1 he shot 8-19, 42% clip
Game 3 he shot 8-17, 47% clip
Game 5 he shot 5-23, 21% clip

Now imagine Dumars/Thomas/Rodman on this guy being allowed to hand check him with Laimbeer knocking Curry on his ass every time he drives to the hoop. Curry would be absolutely LOST against the 88-91 pistons.

[Quickening]

Is this the best you could come up with?

[tontoz]

For the record Tim Hardaway was drafted in 1989 and averaged 5 3 pt attempts for his career even though he shot them at 35.5%.

In 1990 Michael Adams took 5.5 3 pointers per game, Price took 5.1 and Reggie took 4.4. Lets not pretend like taking 3s was taboo back then.

So then if Curry isn't going to be allowed to take as many 3's then that makes his overall average impact per possession even less, as 3>2!

The fact you don't understand how this might impact his strstegy/output, even if slight, and how people defend him baffles me.

You're reacting to what I'm saying as if I think he'd be a scrub.

[Straight_Ballin]

10 possessions:

Curry shoots 10 shots and 7 of them are 3 point shots. He makes 3/7 from three and 2/3 from inside the three. His total contribution to his teams score is 13 points in 10 shots.

Curry shoots 10 shots and all of them are 2 point shots. He makes 5/10, and his total contribution to his teams score is 10 points in 10 shots.

Both scenarios are 50% fg.

By not taking 3's, he is less effective per possession overall while shooting at the same clip!

If we're talking purely defense...Riles Knicks teams were much better than the Pistons.

i understand, but what the hell does it have to do with this argument, or really... anything? the fact is he grew up with the 3 point line, and is far and away the greatest shooter of all time. that's what we KNOW. the stupid hypothetical of "hurr hurr what about if he grew up back then" who cares? he didn't.

So it was an issue for Curry to effectively score on a bench player Delly who's not used to playing that many minutes based on:

Game 2 he shot 5-23, 21% clip
Game 4 he shot 8-17, 47% clip
Game 6 he shot 8-19, 42% clip

who can't even touch him without getting a foul, but it's not going to be an issue for him to score against a superior defender like Dumars who's backed by a team that is incorporating "Jordan/Curry" rules on him? :lol

Small sample size. Curry had a few bad games because Curry had a few bad games. It happens. You seriously outside of maybe jordan, can't find any all time great player who didn't have some bad games.

The funny thing people seem to forget is that players today are bigger than they were in the past. For some stupid reason people think curry is a small guy, but by 80's and 90's standards he'd be well above average size for a point guard. Add in he has all time great ball handling ability, amazing body control, and unseen shooting....he'd do just fine in any era. Clearly his game would change. The "non basketball" play from the pistons would certainly result in him playing differently, but those pistons would adapt to today's game and learn how to use zone defense to guard players and still be an effective defense as well.

[jstern]

The rules favored big men in that era. That would hurt curry or any PG. Not to say that he still wouldn't be a Super Star.

You talk as if Delly is some big guy. I don't see how he's any bigger than the guys of the 80's/90's. A guy who wasn't even allowed to touch Curry caused him to put up those numbers in those 3 games, so just imagine what a guy like Dumars would do.

I'm using the data that we currently have which is only from one finals series because he's only played in one finals series. This isn't one bad shooting night. It's half of the finals games that he's played in so far. If you want to argue sample size, then that's fine. We can bump this thread again after his next finals or the one after that or how many ever you are comfortable with so that you can see that the type of defense being played in today's game caters to his strengths, whereas the type of defense allowed to be played on him in 88-91 would cause him to not be nearly as effective.

there's not enough evidence that delly was the reason curry had a few bad games. How are you missing that?

[jongib369]

Agreed, though unlike Jameerthefear I think there's something to be said about style of play, and the talents back then that may, or may not guard him more effectively. BUT regardless of whether or not it'd have an impact, Curry could get his on anyone. It's basically impossible to stop such an offensive force, just ask Russell. You can only hope to put up speed bumps

[Sarcastic]

He'd be relegated to spot shooter in the corner.

Would love to see Curry against the Curry Rules.

Game 4 he shot 8-17, 47% clip
Game 6 he shot 8-19, 42% clip

Same numbers, just different games.

The series was less than a year ago. Did you really not remember that Curry struggled in an early game?

But lets take a closer look at those games.

Game 2 was legit bad.
Game 4 he made 4 3s and had a TS of 55.6%
Game 6 he made 6 foul shots, 3 3s and had a TS of 61.5%.

He sure did struggle. :rolleyes:

FG% is a worthless stat for any player that shoots 3s.

Math lesson for all you simpletons still using FG%

Player A takes 10 shots, all 2s and makes 5 of them.

Player B takes 10 shots, all 3s and makes 4 of them.

Player A scores 10 pts with a FG% of 50%.

Player B scores 12 pts with a FG% of 40%

So player B scores 2 more points but his FG% is 10% worse. Obviously it is a crap stat. Is this really so hard to understand?


Lmao dude shot below 45% against the ****ing cavs. Let's be real here

He struggled enough that he didn't win FMVP. Just face it, the guy put up those kinds of games against a bench player who if he blew on him would be called for a foul, and if you were to place him against the 88-91 pistons, he would struggle just like anyone else not named MJ.

He didn't win FMVP so that means struggled to score?

When we look at Jordan we see a man that averaged 30/7/6 on 50% against the Pistons in the 1988-1991 playoffs. He went up against Rodman and Dumars and the Jordan Rules.

How badly would Curry get shut down in those playoff games against the pistons? What would his numbers look like?

Please no "what the fvck you talking about man... ANYONE would be lost against them not named Jordan" type comments.

This is about how lost Curry would be.

Not Kobe, not Lebron, not Da Real Lambo... but Curry.
... Is that you 3ball?

1-9

We're talking about the pistons that gave up 30 point games to Sam Vincent, Jeff Malone, and Doc Rivers right?

[deja vu]

Curry would average over 40 a game in that weak defensive era
Stop talking shit. Handchecking will make Curry struggle to put up 30 much less 40.

He gets handchecked more than Jordan ever did

[inclinerator]

steph would definetly struggle,he might score the same but efficiency would drop

[houston]

A guy with elite handles who is arguably the best shooter in history and has a quick release isn't going to be shut down by anyone. He might have a bad game here and there but nobody is shutting him down over a 7 game series.


yup co sign

[diamenz]

curry would absoltyely kill them from three point range, but he'd get bruised and battered in the paint. it would probably just end up evening out.
