Once Steph gets outplayed by Westbrook and bounced from the playoffs...

[IGOTGAME]

how will everyone rationalize this. I've heard people saying he is a better offensive player than Jordan and prime Shaq. He is great the amount of hyperbole recently has been a little much.

Let's just remember, this has never happened to Kobe, Jordan or Shaq at the peak of there powers. Nobody came into a series without home court advantage and started smacking them around.

Hope GSW win this series because if they don't it will raise some questions

[Klay 3D]

Nah I think it'll be more about Steve Kerr getting outcoached by Billy Donovan, how 2 superstars is better than 1, and Steph's injuries.

[Funktion]

Uni MVP, still doesnt look 100% movement wise. His shooting is f'd though right now. I dunno though I dont remember any of the others being this banged up at such a key time. Plus Kerr definitely being outcoached. ^^^

[hold this L]

He's not 100%. He already embarrassed Durant and Westbrick when he was fit and it was not close.

Lol it's the playoffs and he looks fine. He almost dunked off a cut a few games ago and looks fine. You don't get to be 100% in the playoffs, Jordan played with broken knuckles, Kobe with broken fingers/knees drained twice etc...no excuses were made.

Lol, it's always everyone else's fault. I even heard someone on the Warriors forum blame Ron ****ing Adams

You have to be blind to think he's fine. His movement is off in every single game he plays in. Steph is the best off the ball player in the league, a large reason he gets open for that split second. He's already stated his injury hasn't healed at all for almost two weeks now.

[Klay 3D]

I've watched every second of the series. When your the MVP you can't be the 3rd best player on the floor. I think we can agree with that...
Durant and Westbrook are MVP caliber players. And even MJ has been the third best player on the floor before in some games. Klay is shooting 29% from deep this series. Draymond 20% and below 6 rebounds. If they play up to standard, this will be an entirely different conversation. It's not all on Steph.

When your the MVP it falls on you, that is the standard that guys like Shaq, Kobe, Jordan etc. have all played under. He should be getting them better looks and making more plays. It falls on him as the man

Also if OKC wins are they the best team ever now?

Yes, they're arguably the best regular season team ever. Nothing can change that. Spurs had one of the best seasons ever too. The Thunder are proving that the coaching change is paying off and they're having one of the best playoffs ever. I don't know what you want. You want to rip away every of Steph's accomplishments? Maybe he doesn't deserve the MVP?

Westbrick has Kevin Durant by his side.. whose singlehandedly been keeping the Thunder in games early on when russell is in full chuck mode. who does Steph have to compare because klay is well below, and green is getting outplayed by Steven Adams.



Let the series play out.. this is like an old spurs mavs series between dirk and duncan.. either one could get the best of the other regardless of where they were voted for MVP.

There's a difference in regular season and playoffs. In the regular season you can have an amazing game and you won't see them again for a while. In the playoffs, if you clown on someone by looking at them before your shot even goes in, they will remember it in 2 days. This guy celebrates every make, and I guess it's fine. But heaven forbid he misses :lol

He ain't going to be worn down on the offensive end but the Warriors have no answer for Durant. Westbrook does his damage by running P&R with Adams and getting the ball to an open Durant.

Curry has to step up, truthfully. Kerr needs to step the hell up.

For some reason, they're going away from the back to back MVP and running play after play for Thompson. Curry has been so...ghost like.

Klay has gotten a big head and thinks he's better than he is.

Westbrook's game isn't predicated on making bad shots and being a negative on the defense end

Westbrook leads the Playoffs in assists, steals and free throw attempts, also leads all guards in offensive rebounds, is first in winshares and OBPM and total BPM.

Steph is a great shooter and has shot well in the Playoffs but averages 5.6 assists to 4 turnovers, that's pretty bad for a point guard.

Shaq got swept in his prime. Shit happens.

For one "Chuck" Curry...is hardly off. Do you realize to score 30 points per game on 67% TS that means you are pretty much never "off".

Even in the rarest of occasions when Curry is off, and let it be known Curry's off is like most players playing regular, Curry is still spacing the floor and drawing the exact same defensive attention he always does. Do you ever see a team stop covering Curry at the 3 point line because he missed 5 3 pointers in a row? Curry could go 0 for 30 and teams wouldn't leave him open. After Game 2 of the 2015 finals where Curry had an "off night" for 19 points, did Cleveland stop the double teams past half court? No they didn't. When Curry is off, which he hardly is, he is not useless, he is still creating the exact same mismatches that he would if he was on fire.

When you win 73 regular season games, anything other than a Championship is a failure. The regular season and the playoffs are different beasts though. The regular season is more about depth, while the playoffs are more about matchups and adjustments.

Look at that Mavs team that won 67 regular season games, had the league MVP, and lost in the 1st round. What happened a few years later? The Mavs were back in the NBA Finals, beating one of the most stacked NBA teams of all-time.

A different Mavs team, with a superstar that developed an aspect of his game, made it back and won. If you want to compare this to the one of the biggest chokes of all time that's good with me.

Yes. SA and Golden State were considered a different level than everybody else. And then Golden State proved SA wasn't on their level as the season closed. Cleveland the next level and then OKC. OKC at best, was considered a third level team. But more like a fourth level team. A ton of people considered GS the best team ever.

If they lose, which the topic assumes will happen, they will have no argument for being the best team to ever play in the NBA. They have NEVER beaten a top contender that wasn't plagued with injuries.

Upsets can occur and you catch heat for it happening. Matchups are sometimes bad, but the greatest team of all time getting manhandled is more than that.Also, If OKC beats GSW and CLE then they are a greater team than Golden State.

You don't get to live in a land of hypotheticals, you have to get on the court and prove how good you are in the playoffs. The Warriors have had one real test over the last two years and it's looking bad. How can someone argue they are the best team...they've beaten no one and look to lose their first and only test.

Edit: another thing this series has shown is that the GSW small ball lineup isn't as potent and dominant as the media lead everyone to believe. Before this series, in every hypo you'd hear people saying Bigs couldn't stay on the court against GSW or Draymond would hold Shaq below his normal level of play. But now where are starting to see the flaws as adversity hits

[90sgoat]

Look at that Mavs team that won 67 regular season games, had the league MVP, and lost in the 1st round. What happened a few years later? The Mavs were back in the NBA Finals, beating one of the most stacked NBA teams of all-time.

The Mavs ring was won by Jason Kidd, I know most posters will not understand this, just as they don't understand why GSW is getting beat by a team with just a decent big man.

Jason Kidd was the clear deciding factor on that team, his defense, his clutch plays, his leadership, his playmaking. Boxscore doesn't show it, but advanced stats did.

Next year he made Melo look legit. What happened with Knicks after he left?

This is the problem with going with hype.

It's not that the game has really changed, it's that there are no good centers. It's not that 'spacing' is magical, it's that physical defense like Curry has faced is not being played.

The old way of analyzing basketball is still gold and this series proves it.

GSW should bless themselves they are not facing Shaq and Kobe. Or Duncan and Ginobili, Parker or any other team which had a decent big man and played defense.

Curry is tired. He is being forced to play defense, he is being poked and manhandled by the defense. Go watch Reggie Miller take the same beatings, how he pushes and punches and grabs, to get open. That's Curry in the 90s and that's why Curry would struggle to score 20 just like his old man.

Well Curry still did get outplayed by Westbrook over the course of the series so the OP is half right.

You seemed to had turned the tide and realized the greatness that is Steph Curry, but then you saw opportunity with him coming back from injury to rant and hate on him again.

Well, shit is back to normal. Well as normal as it can be. I'm sure playing with that sprained MCL isn't ideal, but he still went out and dropped 28/6/6.

So I guess all your hypotheticals fell flat out their face. If they go on to win...

He was injured. I'm not sure if you missed that part. What did Kerr say in the press conference last night? "Well, he's finally healthy so that's a big deal."
