Curry is legit soft

[Akrazotile]

I'm not sayin this as a hater or to make jokes, it's a real observation.

Guy is all shimmies and winks when the going is easy. But like Barkley always quotes Tyson as saying, "Everyone has a plan til they get punched in the mouth."

When the going gets tough Curry lacks heart. He hides, he shields, he shrinks... he's kind of a nancy. I'm not saying he's not a terrific player. Not sayin he didn't earn his regular season MVP's. But he's not a scrapper. Other small guys like Nash, CP, Delly are legendary for their heart and willingness to punch back (figuratively) against anybody, any size, until the final whistle...

When Steph gets punched he turns and high-tails it to safety.

Guy doesn't seem to have any intensity or competitive fire. He's flicking up shots and dancing around when they're cruising in the regular season. When they run into a little adversity he looks like a deer in headlights who doesn't wanna be there if it's not gonna be easy. Doesn't really seem like a leader.

Just an observation.

literally agree with every word.

this ****** in game 2 looking at ibaka before making shots, dancing around everywhere, staring at the OKC bench when hitting shots

then they get demolish and he literally looks like he wants to cry out there.

disgusting.

spot on OP :applause:

Big time Curry fan, I love when the score is +10 and Curry is hitting these miraculous shots because his confidence is jacked up and he knows his team won't lose. Reminds me of a poor mans Mark Price

BUT....

When the Warriors are down, when the pressure is on, when he has to actually play defense, Curry is ineffective on both sides of the court.

And because the Warriors are such a great overall team leading most of the game you RARELY get to see this side of Curry

You're seeing it now

You're seeing what happens when he has to play a healthy playoff team

You're seeing what happens when he's getting targeted on defense and has to exert more energy

You're seeing how inconsistent Curry is when his team is backed in a corner RELYING on him to takeover.

This guy FOLDS

You mean after Delly outplayed him for 3 straight games? Only reason why he played well was because Delly ran out of gas! And that's a fact. Iggy outplayed him for crying out loud!!!

Agreed, but he is dealing with Goatbrook playing with anger and with a point to prove. Rus is just on another level. Big mistake putting Curry anywhere near him. Dude stamina is maxed out. Never see a guy that relentless on the attack from beginning to the end.

True. Wonder what it has on his teammates when they see him with his head dangling down with chewing on his mouth guard

A lot of undersized white guys are gritty, scrappy battlers. Nash, Delly, Barea, Stockton etc. And youve also got < 6' brothas who battle toe to toe with anyone like Cp3, Iverson, Isiah Thomas.

Not a race or upbringing thing, Curry himself is just a delicate lil flower type. He's a frontrunner, prancing about when things are easy. He aint tryin to get in the mix. He aint bout that dogfight life. He aint bout that scrum. He wanna stay on the outside n keep his shoes clean.

[pastis]

couldnt watch any WCF game yet, but currys playoffs stats dont look that bad (so far)?

24.5 ppg/5.5 ass/5.5 reb/1.6 stls on 45/38/90 and 23.7 PER

serious question. those stats look very solid, but of course no comparison to his RS skyhigh stats

It is pretty amazing that his numbers are significantly down yet still better than Kobe's ever were :applause:

I agree with everything you said. Just look at from this point of view, whoever is covering Goatbrook is the one that struggles on the other end. They took Klay off him at halftime and guess what? He goes off in the 3rd quarter and Curry looks spent that he can't even make open layups or 3 pointers.

I just don't like this gang mentality where everyone and their mother is gonna shit on Curry because he's struggling right now. I don't like Curry as well, but I am not ready to call him soft just because someone as physically imposing as Westbrook is wearing him down.

It's not even really about his impact, but more his demeanor. He looks defeated out there and like he's not even tryin to battle Westbrook. He cant get his usual bombs away routine going so hes just not bothering to battle at all. Seems to lack intensity.

Gotta agree with this...He's shooting 3's, running the other way before it even goes in...Now they're getting beat, he's walking around with his head down....That mouthpiece isn't swinging as freely as before.....

Downside of a privileged childhood

Has nothing to do with priviledged childhood but with personality, but yeah Curry was probably cuddled. Doesn't mean priviledged childhood can't be tough, Laimbeer came from a priviledged family but was tough.

This idea that ghetto players have heart is just plain wrong. A typical ghetto player is Lebron or DMC, both lack proper ways of channeling frustration, Lebron quits, DMC sulks or lashes out.

Almost all great players come from families with strict fathers with a strong work ethic. Shaq, MJ to name two. Westbrook is from an intact family too.

the big reaction was really to just game 4 which was pretty bad. His only great game was game 2 but he's been decent enough overall besides game 4. Still, the dropoff is pretty obvious.

This is dumb, because the only Reason Iggy got Finals MVP was because he was getting the most wide open shots in NBA History right next to Spurs leaving Bron open...I mean Curry was getting doubled/trapped on damn near every possession. This is how most of the possesions were:

Curry passes halfcourt, Cavs double on screen, Curry passes to wide open Green at the top of the 3, Green drives, defense collapes and Green kicks it to Iggy who doesn't have a defender within 15ft of him. Green gets assist stats, Iggy gets 3pts, Curry gets no stats out of it which leads to Bron stat lovers swearing Curry had no impact. When in essence, If Curry isn't getting doubled 30+ feet away from the basket, then Iggy wouldn't even avg 5 points during that Finals. Facts.

Did you just put "Delly" and "legendary" in the same sentence?:oldlol:

[Cali Syndicate]

More than anything, Curry looks tired... as is the rest of the Warriors.

But your statement is false. Curry has stepped up many many times these last few seasons. I do agree that he's more of a finesse player that builds off his momentum and confidence rather than a grinder. it's obvious he's having trouble fighting through OKC's arm bars while running off the screens. Hopefully Kerr is made some adjustments to keep OKC off balance to help Curry not exert so much energy just trying to get open.

Work ethic is something you learn from your father of father figure.
An MJ stan ripping another player for allegedly quitting.

:lol

[bdonovan]

I look at Curry's stats from the finals with the Cavs and his stats were solid; I think averaging 28 a game. His %'s were solid too. So I think the references that he was outplayed or stopped by Delladedova are a bit exaggerated.

I do agree he lacks mental toughness. Artistic types are like that; highly creative but more sensitive (I realize I'm getting into armchair psychology). The great players find a way to win games. Improving your mental state is as simple as changing your internal dialogue. To be an all-time great, he has to work on that.

[tontoz]

I think people are getting a little carried away with the criticism but it is definitely gut check time for GS tonight. OKC has been through the playoff wars and has faced adversity many times. They will surely bring it.

[Chadwin]

I saw some of it last game when Klay just started jacking up (and making) shots at the first opportunity.

[KiiiiNG]

Water is legit wet

[LilEddyCurry]

Didn't he respond in last year's finals when they were down 1-2? :rolleyes:
GS were heavy favourites due to the fact that they had home court advantage, Cavs were missing two of their best three players and Cavs were exhausted at that point. Also, Steve Kerr's adjustment of putting the FMVP into the starting line up really helped as well.

Did you never see him play at davidson bro? Curry clutch as **** but hes a mercurial genius similar to Messi.

I didn't know Curry wasn't allowed to have a couple of off games. ISH at it's finest.
