Steph Curry has no post moves/fadeaways... Unlike Kyrie and CP3

[LakersDaBEst]

All he does is either dribble and shoot or catch and shoot. He does have the ability to drive to the basket, but the lack of post moves is preventing him from being great.

Its so easy to predict Currys next move due to the lack of offensive skills. Thus locking him down in a 7 game series is not a hard task after analyzing his videos

[plowking]

Da fuq does a 6'3 PG need post skills for?

I mean seriously... this board.

Yeah, Curry's lack of offensive skills is what makes him a shitty player. A shitty player with two MVP's.

I can't wait for next years final loser, so I can read all the stupid threads about him too.

Kyrie and CP3 both got post moves and a sweet fadeaway jumpshots. Even John Wall has one, and they are all 6'3... are you really that stupid?

[Kingwillball]

I did not need to see the Finals to know Curry was not best player in World the fact that anybody suggested it before that was comical to me. Lebron is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Curry overall. Curry is not even as complete offensively as Kyrie. Media was looking all year to crown a new Face of NBA and much like MJ it is Lebron who will be that face until he retires.

[ClipperRevival]

The post moves is not that big of a deal. What is a big deal is he lacks the basic fundamental offensive game like operating out of the TT position. He doesn't do that. He doesn't know how to take a one or two dribble pull up jumper. These are moves any perimeter player should MASTER. He doesn't give a hard jab step to get separation. He gets his points either off a catch and shoot or a live dribble. Live dribble's are a waste of time sometimes. It's easier to just operate out of the TT and lose your man that way.

This.

People acted like Curry is the GOD offensively, but he doesn't even have a fken fadeaway shot, or dribble and shoot ( Livingston ), or all other greats. He needs so many illegal screens for those 3s :facepalm

[TrueBlue89]

Curry doesn't have the deceptive strength of Kyrie & CP3 to play in the post lol.

Plowqueen, Curry's #1 dickrider

Of course I am. Just like the other 6 or 7 players I've been accused of dickriding. Apparently just a stan of every player in the league.

[Lebronxrings]

yep and he got exposed for it these finals. Great scorers have different ways to score but when currys 3 pointers are off hes useless. He doesn't even use his mid-range. :facepalm

Curry is a great, great player. He deserved the MVP.

But post skills can be important for a PG. It would help Curry in a day his shot is not falling. Also create a different type of offense, making teams adjust and can make the PG control the tempo of the game.
Andre Miller, Mark Jackson, Jason Kidd, Sam Cassell. Westbrook and Kyle Lowry today... All point guards with post skills...

[riseagainst]

Curry is a choker.

That is why you have Klay, Barnes, Bogut, etc.

You don't put your best 3 point shooter in the post. Notice the names you listed, and tell me what is common with them, and why they might want to play in the post...

Not every player needs post skills, or to play in the post at all. Having Curry in the post completely takes away from his game.

yea, shooting 4/14 form 3s is definitely his strongest suit. :facepalm

When 3s aren't falling, you gotta live in the post to draw fouls/freethrows to get the rhythm back. Just launching 3s like Curry and Klay in game 7 doesn't always work. Curry is the UMVP, he is the leader that why he has to make all the adjustments.

You sound like a fggot who never ball. Not surprised.

[Xoush]

I think Dwight Howard should increase his range. He ought to consult Ray Allen on how to be a sick 3 point shooter. Taking 3s will mesh perfectly with his ability to rebound and block shots.

For easy buckets when his 3 isn't falling, like in games 5,6,7.

Yeah, thats me bro.

Yep, Curry shoots 4/14 every game. Getting him in the post, taking away the better rebounders away from the ring is clearly the way to go.
You know your shit!

[plowking]

Yeah, not like he was a 66% shooter from inside the paint this season. You know, driving the ball and all, getting to the hoop, etc.

Clearly he needs to just move to the post, which takes away his triple threat position where he is most dangerous.

He had one of the better FG% when in the paint or drivng to the rim this season. Problem is he rarely gets foul calls/FT's. Gets bounced around like a pinball and beat up.

[LakersDaBEst]

Yea I agree he rarely could buy a call driving to the basket, he needs to learn a fadeaway shot along with Dwades pump fake that gets called 95% of the time.

Curry has to improve this aspect of his game in order to be a more complete scorer.

[$LakerGold]

When these morons only watch the NBA Finals. Curry had way worse off nights. Players in general tend to have off nights (obviously, why do I even have to say this?), you dumb f*cks. Yes, it was the most important game of his life, but it happens. It's sensational when he's in the zone, but when he's not, it's terrible. It's what comes as being a streaky shooter.

If only they won, we could have avoided a stupid topic like this.

[Meticode]

There is so much hate for Curry right now when less than a few months ago our minds were blown away by his performances. Fact of the matter is he has trained hard to be able to take and make bad shots daring defenses to let him shoot them. He was injured and he lived and died by those jumpshots in the Finals.

It's your classic case of living and dying by the jumpshot.

When I think about 3+ years ago and were Curry was back then struggling and with his ankles and think of all the hate he gets now. It just solidifies my opinion that he's a great player.

Also the fact that he said no excuses. Which he should. He had no problem in his first game back in 2 weeks against Portland to have a big game and be yelling at the crowd, "I'm back!".

Fact is fact, they lost.

Okay, if NBA finals is not important, then what is? Okay should we award them with rings because of 73-10? :facepalm

Nba Finals is when both teams play their heart out, best defense, dying to get the ball, Curry and company blew a 3-1 lead, with 2 HOMES GAMES.

Okay, now tell me who do we blame? Definitely not the first UMVP who sucked a$$ in the BIGGEST MOMENT right? If this was Lebron, you would've be jizzing already. :facepalm

Meh. There's a reason I've been calling this guy "Steph Carried". He's an all time great shooter, but it's fcuking ridiculous to even think about calling this guy the best player in the NBA. Anyone who thinks he's better than LeBron, KD, Westbrook, etc... don't have a clue.

People gave this guy a VERY disproportionate amount of credit for the TEAM success of the Warriors. Put LeBron on the celtics and they probably go to the finals. Put Steph Carried on the celtics and they probably finish the season with a losing record. He can shoot, but he's not the kind of difference maker that a LeBron or a KD is.

[$LakerGold]

All he does is either dribble and shoot or catch and shoot.
Sure. :applause:

Locked down? Who locked him down?


the lack of post moves is preventing him from being great.

Steph Curry has no post moves/fadeaways... Unlike Kyrie and CP3
It would make a him a well-rounded player, but, when did post moves become a necessity on guards of his caliber? Every player has their own identity in the game, he's already considered as one of the GOAT by doing what he does, atm. Sure it would be interesting to see if he had a post game, but c'mon, he SUCKS because he doesn't have a post game like CP3 or GP? Jesus Christ, dude. A single off night in the finals doesn't warrant a thread like this, it's disgusting. Is that the really reason why they lost in the finals? Is Curry's lack of post game the real reason why they lost? Are you completely disregarding everything that played out after Game 3?

Didn't I already write my rebuttal for this kind of logic in my previous post for this fallacy of a statement of yours? I also never said that the NBA Finals isn't important.

And also, you're a nobody to criticize the technicalities of the game -- leave it to the pros. Let's be real here.

[LakersDaBEst]

Sure. :applause:


Locked down? Who locked him down?


.


From 30ppg 50% FG in Regular season to 22.6 Ppg 40% fg

if thats not locked down then what is? Kyrie dropped 27.2 ppg in the Finals

[SwayDizzle]

im going to have to disagree with u.

it was a mental issue curry was struggling with in the finals. it was not his lack of skill set that cost gsw the ship. he was on tilt the whole series. curry has been amazing all season and deserved the title of best in the world.

when it comes to experience in the finals, lebron is indeed light years ahead of curry.

Off nights (Not to mention the amount of wide open 3's he missed) is locking down? Kyrie played great in the series, but that was no lockdown. :lol

Adding to your offensive game and having more options to score/playmake is never a bad thing.

I've always said his scoring skillset is pretty limited. Everything is either off the dribble (threes or layups) or catch and shoot. He doesn't do anything in between.

When teams take away his 3 or it's not falling like it normally does can he still be an effective scorer? No, because he doesn't have any kind of midrange game. No pullup 18 footers, no triple threat game, no post up game. And he doesn't draw fouls.

He's still a terrific player but the playoffs have exposed some weaknesses in his game. He should add more versatility to his skillset to become even better.

[PP34Deuce]

Steph Curry is an amazing shooter period. The problem with him and Klay was they feed off the 3 point barrage they can give and they still had that mindset.

even in Game 7, you saw once they got a 7 point lead, they tried to blow them out by taking 2-3 heat check shots. It bit them in the ass. They also look frazzled when Lue adjusted the switching defense.

He's definitely not Kyrie because Kyrie is a stronger player physically. Kyrie also likes to drive and make acrobatic finishes. Curry doesn't like to drive at all.

I thought when he got run off the 3 point line, he should have hit that midrange shot he was being given. He's a great shooter but their ego for blowing teams out prevented them from closing the door with a 3-1 lead. More you try to embarrass your opponent the more it can backfire.

[SexSymbol]

Curry has a great ability to drive and he's one of the best finishers inside statistically in the whole league

[riseagainst]

That's just not Curry's game. He's too small and weak to back anyone up. He's more of an A.I., quick and fast with great handles.

Totally agree with you. Once his 3s are off, hes pretty much done
