If you go by a game by game basis he's only been the best player on the floor once. A few times he hasn't even been the 3rd or 4th best player. He's been outplayed by a bench player most of the series. That's still not bad but it's nowhere near being the best in the world which is what his Stan's claim he is.

Could you be a little more specific here? What bench player is outplaying him? Are you talking about the guy who scored 12 points in game 4 and 16 in game 3, shooting a combined 6-21? With a TS 10% lower on the series?

What games was he not even the 3rd or 4th best player?

Steph had one game were he couldn't make a shot. He has been shooting lights out in the other 4 games.

For the record i am hoping that GS gets beat, by anyone.

Game 1: curry was the best on the floor

Game 3: kd was better
Game 4: curry was 5th or worse. Kd,Klay, Dray and Shai were better

So you have one game where, by your analysis, he wasn't the 4th best player on the floor. He went 3-14 from the floor so i will concede that, even though he got 10 rebounds, 7 assists and was 5 of 5 from the foul line. Glad we got that clarified.

Now please clarify why you think Lou is outplaying Steph overall during the series.

Getting locked up by a rookie we traded for in order to tank this season.

Well I said 3rd or 4th and the last game I was being generous saying he was third best.

As far Lou outplaying Steph. It's basically a wash as far as production. They both outplayed each other in 2 games and one was basically a wash. The key there though is that Lou is being gaurded by kd who's a great defender while Steph is being gaurded by a rookie. That kinda breaks the tie if you ask me.

[Bronbron23]

So what exactly makes you think he is outplaying Steph?
Having equal production while being gaurded by one of the better defenders in the league. Steph on the other hand is being checked by a rookie.

Equal production? Steph has a TS% that is 10% higher and he is averaging over double the rebounds.

Lou isn't starting. He is playing a lot against bench players and the Warriors bench sucks. The only time he is playing the starters is at the end of the game.

Lou is usually gaurded by kd or Klay or sometimes yes by a bench player. Curry has been checked by a rookie the whole series. Lou has faced tougher defenders all series. It's irrelevant anyway though. Y'all went from arguing he's better than Bron a few years ago to arguing he's better than kd last year and now arguing he's better than a bench player. The fact that this is even debatable speaks for itself.

Don't lump me in with people saying Steph was better than Lebron or KD.

I am pretty comfortable saying he is better than a bench player, although i love what Lou and the Clippers have done this season.

Aside from the 3-14 game Steph is shooting lights out and is their 2nd leading rebounder.

GS was feeding the mismatch.

In the Finals it will be a different story, assuming they get there. Every team in the east has one or more guys with length who can defend Durant.They aren't going to put a pg on him.

I find it hilarious that you took a photo before the end of the game. Amusing that the only win for you people is a player not doing as well as he should be while you watch the playoffs the same way Lebron is right now, on the couch.

KD has clearly been the best player in round one though, and his 95 point games deserve a hell of a lot of credit. One of the best two games I've seen in a long time. :bowdown:

As his been pointed out above, this has been the standard since he made the leap.

It's like..."where's Steph?"

The guy putting up 25/7/5 71% TS who opens everything up for his teammates just be stepping on the court?

This is why I really hope KD leaves. Steph isn't at his peak anymore as he's gotten older, but he's way better than even most diehard fans realize.

And, I think KD is worse than most diehard fans realize. Hopefully we get to find out those answers with KD going to a new, non all-time loaded team, so he actually has to face adversity.

If KD goes to a team like that, dominates, and leads a team to a title...I'll gladly give him his due.

But, this is old hat by now, the Warriors just played a fun Clippers team that didn't have anyone that actually scares you. A team with the 21st ranked defense.

Like, is anyone surprised that KD went nuts for a few games? I'm just not sure what half of this forum was expecting or are expecting.

The guy putting up 25/7/5 71% TS who opens everything up for his teammates just be stepping on the court?

This is why I really hope KD leaves. Steph isn't at his peak anymore as he's gotten older, but he's way better than even most diehard fans realize.

And, I think KD is worse than most diehard fans realize. Hopefully we get to find out those answers with KD going to a new, non all-time loaded team, so he actually has to face adversity.

If KD goes to a team like that, dominates, and leads a team to a title...I'll gladly give him his due.

But, this is old hat by now, the Warriors just played a fun Clippers team that didn't have anyone that actually scares you. A team with the 21st ranked defense.

Like, is anyone surprised that KD went nuts for a few games? I'm just not sure what half of this forum was expectiang or are expecting.
You dont watch games. Shut the hell up. Curry doesnt open up anything for Durant. And those stats you cited are MEANINGLESS. he is a statpadder who does nothing when games are in the balance! He gets doubled OCCASIONALLY like any good 3 point shooter... not all game... and he certainly isnt giving Dursnt open looks all game . You literally have no idea what the **** you're talking about.


Its actually the other way around... DURANT OPENS UP THE GAME FOR STEPH. Theres a reason hes had his best finals statistically alongside Durant... Durants gravity is much stronger than Currys... and Durant is the far superior player on both ends so hes carrying the warriors when the game actually matters.

[tpols]

:roll:


Simon... just stop bro.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Curry apologists are the worst humans on earth.

It's ok that he shits the bed in the finals every year because he gets doubled occasionally... gravity bro!!!! Goat gravity!!! :roll:

Meanwhile KD is hitting contested 30ft bombs as the game hangs in the balance and playing elite defense.... curry is setting screens :roll: :roll:

Got outscored 50 to 16 in a close out game on the road LMAO

Even if you want to live in a reality in which Steph doesn't help his teammates get better looks at all.

He's still doing 25/7/5 71% TS...has averaged 27/6/6 on 62% TS over the last 5 years in the playoffs.

I'm not sure you are understanding just how good that is...combined with the rest of the roster.

Using words like "carrying" for Durant is some of the biggest horseshit I've ever seen.

If that is "carrying"....

What the hell did people like Hakeem, Duncan, Dirk, and even older Kobe do during title runs? What word are you going to use to describe them if you count what KD is doing with arguably the most loaded roster in NBA history relative to competition?

Again... you keep citing stats... but if you actually watch the games and not just look at box scores you'll see the context of how those stats come about

Steph routinely waits until GS has a big lead AND THEN starts accumulating stats and playing with confidence. Hes a known front runner. I can't believe this isnt mainstream by now.


KD has a ton of help, I'm not disputing that. But it's not just steph. Dray and klay are arguably more important to the warriors than steph because of what they do on both ends. Dray is literally the warriors best defender, passer, and decision maker with the ball. Klay is the best at hitting shots when they need them. Curry is best at scoring when the game is out of balance in the 3rd or 4th quarter due to Durant carrying them. I say the word carrying because that's exactly how it goes down. Dray is a terrible scorer and the warriors have no depth... so while KD does have help the warriors are still flawed and rely on his shot making heavily in tightly contested games. This is just a fact. Durant is hitting tough contested jumpers all game every game and gets very little open looks.

Dmavs thinks the Warriors are head and shoulders better than their competition but not Kobe's stacked rosters? Talk about best front courts in the league :lol


Dmavs clearly doesn't have a grasp on the current landscape of the NBA. The Rockets last year were a historically great team and pushed GS to the brink

This year they have a 37ppg MVP, a HOF PG with elite decision making and defense, Capela whose better than any GS big man by a long shot (not including Dray) and lethal 3pt shooters throughout. How are the Warriors head and shoulders better? :lol

And not to mention the Sixers, Bucks, and Raps who are almost equally as stacked as the Warriors/Rockets

Guy doesn't know what he's talkign about :oldlol:

[Bronbron23]

It happens all the time. That’s been the blueprint for the best chance to shut down the warriors for almost 5 years now. Hard double Curry all the time and make the other Warriors beat you.
No it isn't and no they don't double him all the time. They usually only do it off screens sometimes. The best strategy is to switch everything like Cavs did before kd and like Houston does now. This is why curry stuggles a bit in playoffs because most teams do this come playoff time.

Curry isn't an amazing iso scorer. Teams would rarely double him if not for the thousands of screens he gets. Kerr knows curry has a hard time beating guys his size off the dribble so they're constantly trying to set screens to get curry switched on a slower big that he can take advantage of. If Draymond sets a screen you only have two options really. Switch and let your slow foward or center gaurd Steph or double and force curry to give it up for a wide open shot from a mediocre shooter. Teams would rather give draymond a wide open shot then let curry put there big on skates. That's why they double Steph sometimes.

No, I talked about Curry's shooting and what it does to opposing defenses off the ball. Klay as well.

That really doesn't show up in "stats"...at least not the ones you'll be capable of understanding.

You then essentially called me a moron and told me it is stupid to think Curry makes his teammates better.

Durant absolutely makes tough shots and I never argued he doesn't. However, if you knew anything about NBA history...playing against single coverage just isn't that hard for the all-time great offensive forces...which Durant clearly is.

Like...what were you expecting? That a 21st ranked defense with nobody that can even come close to checking KD...was going to shut him down?

I'm just confused as to what your point is...you want us to have an orgasm with you because Durant is going off against a shit defensive team against largely single coverage?

Really?

I've been arguing that the Rockets were actually as good or better than a number of teams that have won the title and clearly a historically good team since last year.

What the **** are you talking about?

You are making my points for me. If KD is as good as you claim...then, yes, the Warriors are clearly better. That is where we differ...I don't think Durant is as good as you do.

All-time great for sure, but not likely as high as where you would put him.

I'm just not sure what league you are watching if you can't admit that once Durant joined the Warriors...it was basically game-over.

You act like we should be surprised KD is destroying teams and the Warriors are winning titles. Like, again, what did you expect when one of the 25 best players of all time joins a 73 win team at his peak...while destroying the franchise (Thunder) that had the best chance to beat them in the process.

Come on now...

[FireDavidKahn]

So far in the playoffs, Steph is at 25/7/5 on 48/51/96 shooting splits.

Has he been as dominant as we are accustomed to? No.

But it's crazy that anyone could think he's been bad. https://t.co/MDTak7CVad


"Where is Stephen Curry"


:facepalm :facepalm

[Bronbron23]

You write the bold as if screens aren't an integral part of basketball and somehow think iso scoring is all that matters.
No not all. It's part of the game and curry and the warriors take advantage better than anyone, as they should. Was just pointing out that screens are an integral part of Curry's effectiveness unlike his teammate kd who can destroy teams with or without them. When teams double kd they double him because of him. When teams double curry it's a reaction to the warriors offensive strategy of setting screens to get curry switched on to a miss match.

Yes, KD is a better iso scorer.

Disagree about why teams pay so much attention to Curry...it is because he's the GOAT shooter and a great passer as well.

Allowing him to touch the ball in plus EV situations is more dangerous than it is for KD...at least that is what most teams have concluded since KD joined the Warriors.

I just don't see the point because you are just describing a difference. I'm not even sure which specific aspect is more valuable. Is KD's better iso scoring or Curry's deep ball threat off the ball / screens more valuable.

I don't know. That specific aspect I'd lean more towards Curry when championship level help is there, but on an average team...iso scoring is likely more beneficial.

I don't think it is a system thing though...you put Curry in any offensive system and he's going to generate great shots for the team consistently.

I disagree with the last part. I don't curry would be effective on a team that doesn't incorporate alot of screens. I don't think he'd be as effective in hardens place in Dantoni's system. His numbers would be better because he'd have the ball alot more but he can't break guys down like harden can.

Ok.

There seems to be confusion.

I am not arguing that Curry could replace any player on a team and do as good or better in that role. Of course Curry couldn't replace Harden and do as well in that system.

However, you aren't understanding why Dantoni does that system...it is because of Harden. He adapted it to fit Harden.

You act like that is how they played in Phoenix with Nash. They didn't obviously...not at all.

If Curry was on the Rockets in place of Harden they would play much more like the Suns did, but Curry would play off ball more than Nash in part because of skillset and in part because of Paul.

Also, almost every team sets a ton of screens. Again, I'm not sure what league you guys are watching. You act as if "setting screens" is some cheat or that it is specific to the Warriors...and that just isn't the case at all. And, of course, the reason the Warriors set so many "off screens" is because of the skillsets of Curry and Klay. It isn't like a system is just set in stone...coaches aren't dumb enough to get a guy like Curry and not run him off of tons of screens to cause a lot of problems for defenses.

I don't think you are understanding the order of events properly.

Of course Dantoni would adapt his system to curry but your the one that said curry could be successful in any system. I misunderstood what you meant.

And I never said screens we're cheating. I said it's part of the game.

My point is basically that curry is limited to how good the system is. If the team can't get him open looks or get him switched on to a slow big, curry won't be as successful. This is why he gets worse come playoff time. Teams do a much better job switching and not allowing curry to get looks or a switch he wants. Teams can't do the same with kd

[knicksman]

Yes, the player that left an elite roster in OKC to join a 73 win team without him...that was a proven championship team...to replace their only weak link...

That is fine...

Lets focus on the guy that was there from the jump that built the team and proved he could win a title without a MVP winner...unlike Durant.

This shit is going to be even worse than some of us thought. We now have to pretend the Warriors didn't win 67, a title, then 73, and within a couple plays of another...all without KD...in fact, beating KD with a loaded roster....

We have to pretend all that didn't happen in order to prop up the player that made the most bitch made move in sports history.

:facepalm


LOL at elite roster. The same roster that got ousted in the first round while replacing KD with another MVP candidate in PG. The same team that was better without westbrook than with him in the lineup just like in 2014. Just move on brah. If a statpadder and not a team player like lebron deserves a superteam for you for playing with role players his whole career then how much more for the best player and a team player like durant who played with a cancer throughout his career. He deserves that 73 win team for all the time wasted.

But youre the same guy who thinks lebron is a better scorer than kobe coz of FG% so im not surprised why youre a westbrook/lebron stan. Coz you dont know shit statnerd.

[34-24 Footwork]

Imagine watching a Warriors game and NOT understanding that Curry's mere presence on the court with the basketball in his hand doesn't create for his entire team :lol

How many people on this forum actually watch the game and understand it?

Draymond's ENTIRE career on the offensive end is credited to Curry being either:

- Trapped and STILL finding Draymond rolling to the basket and making an ally-oop pass

or

- Finding Draymond rolling off of a PnR and Dray swinging the ball to another perimeter player.

or

Completely drawing two defenders from a Draymond pick and Draymond hitting some lucky shots from the perimeter because no one respects him from that distance (see 2016 game 7)

[DMAVS41]

Curry is limited by a system? No, could not disagree more, Curry is the system. He creates everything you are talking about.

Now, what I think you mean to be arguing is that Curry on a shit team would be limited in comparison to a player like Durant. I agree with that actually, but it means nothing to me as I don't really care which player would be better playing on a shit team.

Again, Curry is being under-rated...

He's averaging 27/6/6 62% TS in the playoffs over the last 5 years.

I don't know what else you call a team with an all-time great like Durant surrounded by what amounted to one of the best supporting casts in the league.

When one of the best players of all-time has really good help...it usually is an elite team...just like the Thunder were from essentially 2011 through 2016.

I think most of you started watching basketball post 2010....because I don't know what words you would use to describe the kind of teams Dirk or KG or Wade or Lebron on the Cavs... even Duncan played with at times if we can't admit Durant played with elite help from 11 through 16 on the Thunder overall.

It diminishes too many great players in history that didn't play with teams that sniffed what KD had in OKC for virtually their entire careers.

And, please don't try to rewrite history only a few years old...KD had plenty of help to beat a 73 win team. They were up 3-1 and Durant absolutely shit the bed in a closeout home game (the biggest game of his career to date)...

So don't give me that crap. If he's as good as you claim...you don't make excuses for a player of that caliber.

He had enough help...and couldn't get it done as the man. And couldn't carry the burden of being a franchise championship player.

Hopefully we get to see him in that role next year on a new team.

[DMAVS41]

Curry dropped 36-8-5 with 58% from 3 (7/12) in that game 7 right on the Kevin snake Durants head

It is hilarious.

In the game 6...the Thunder were up 8 entering the 4th. They were up 5 with like 4 minutes left.

Durant was awful. Shot 41% TS with a 93 ortg in the biggest game of his career....

And yet, according to many on here, he just didn't have enough help.

So, playing a proven championship team...the GOAT regular season team...Durant plays like shit...and his team around him is still good enough to get him an 8 point lead entering the 4th and a 5 point lead with less than 5 minutes to go.

But yea...just not enough help.

How dare an all-time great like Durant be expected to play a decent game to win.

Not to mention they checked every historical box for winning a title...

To argue he didn't have enough help is absurd.

I don't know what else you call a team with an all-time great like Durant surrounded by what amounted to one of the best supporting casts in the league.

When one of the best players of all-time has really good help...it usually is an elite team...just like the Thunder were from essentially 2011 through 2016.

I think most of you started watching basketball post 2010....because I don't know what words you would use to describe the kind of teams Dirk or KG or Wade or Lebron on the Cavs... even Duncan played with at times if we can't admit Durant played with elite help from 11 through 16 on the Thunder overall.

It diminishes too many great players in history that didn't play with teams that sniffed what KD had in OKC for virtually their entire careers.

And, please don't try to rewrite history only a few years old...KD had plenty of help to beat a 73 win team. They were up 3-1 and Durant absolutely shit the bed in a closeout home game (the biggest game of his career to date)...

So don't give me that crap. If he's as good as you claim...you don't make excuses for a player of that caliber.

He had enough help...and couldn't get it done as the man. And couldn't carry the burden of being a franchise championship player.

Hopefully we get to see him in that role next year on a new team.

again, OKC were better with westbrook out in 2014 just like this year. Yet you think thats elite help. LOL But youre a bron stan so you think triple doubles are great. And you guys are making excuses for lebrons help in cleveland so why cant us?:confusedshrug:

In the end, the only reason why you guys hate durant coz 1 more ring and he ties lebron.

And LOL at burden as the man. Hes the man in golden state. Hes too "the man" that he even won FMVP despite force feeding curry. So LOL at not wanting the burden. And once lebron asked the help of the refs, its not anymore between teams but between all teams and Lebrons big 3 + refs. And they are the underdogs. Lebron was the top dog when he formed superteams while durant still the underdog and he destroyed them.

[BigShotBob]

Why do people act like KD doesn't get overloaded and double-teamed?

What games are people watching?

[And1AllDay]

It is hilarious.

In the game 6...the Thunder were up 8 entering the 4th. They were up 5 with like 4 minutes left.

Durant was awful. Shot 41% TS with a 93 ortg in the biggest game of his career....

And yet, according to many on here, he just didn't have enough help.

So, playing a proven championship team...the GOAT regular season team...Durant plays like shit...and his team around him is still good enough to get him an 8 point lead entering the 4th and a 5 point lead with less than 5 minutes to go.

But yea...just not enough help.

How dare an all-time great like Durant be expected to play a decent game to win.

Not to mention they checked every historical box for winning a title...

To argue he didn't have enough help is absurd.


Oh hell nah KD had a very stacked team with Russell, Ibaka, Adams, Waiters, Roberson, Kanter. That is a strong roster so the only help Durant was missing was himself :eek:

This has nothing to do with Lebron for me. Absolutely 0. You keep bringing him up like it means something..it doesn't. You can't make a coherent argument.

He isn't "the man" in GS because that would be, again, a slap in the face to players that actually had to carry the burden of a franchise. You don't get to be called "the man" when you join a 73 win team at your peak as a player.

Again, you made the claim that Durant didn't have enough help on OKC. So I'd like to know why your expectations are so low for him.

Durant shot 41% TS in the biggest game of his career at home...and his team still had a legit lead late in the 4th.

Do you really expect him to knock off the Warriors while playing like dogshit? Funny thing...if he had made a couple clutch shots...he still could have...that was how good his team was around him.

Looking forward to another incoherent response about Lebron or how the Thunder were better without Russ.

Like when Durant got bitched out in 5 against the Grizzlies when he couldn't score efficiently after Russ got hurt?

After what happened in the finals? Its obvious that this league is scripted so I wouldnt be surprised if durant sold the game coz they want GSW in the finals. GSW have better ratings.

And LOL at he isnt the man. Hes the one taking over games. Hes the first option in crunch time. You really think he would join GSW if he isnt the man on the team? LOL

Curry's impact is overrated

Nick Wright was defending Curry over Kawhi by saying that curry provides this amazing spacing - horseshit - that's another feel-good narrative that is false

Curry is just 1 guy - he draws his man out to the perimeter - that's it - he needs his teammates to ALSO stand behind the line to draw their man out and space the floor - it takes a whole team to properly space the floor

Otoh, a devastating rim attacker shifts an entire defense all by himself (defenders must cheat off their man to help at the rim or on penetration)

[Jasper]

curry is not riding the coat tails of KD , he is ironing on KD's mom's ironing board....

[AirFederer]

Most are stans, trolls, retarded - or all three - unfortunately :lol

:cheers:


Ok.

There seems to be confusion.

I am not arguing that Curry could replace any player on a team and do as good or better in that role. Of course Curry couldn't replace Harden and do as well in that system.

However, you aren't understanding why Dantoni does that system...it is because of Harden. He adapted it to fit Harden.

You act like that is how they played in Phoenix with Nash. They didn't obviously...not at all.

If Curry was on the Rockets in place of Harden they would play much more like the Suns did, but Curry would play off ball more than Nash in part because of skillset and in part because of Paul.

Also, almost every team sets a ton of screens. Again, I'm not sure what league you guys are watching. You act as if "setting screens" is some cheat or that it is specific to the Warriors...and that just isn't the case at all. And, of course, the reason the Warriors set so many "off screens" is because of the skillsets of Curry and Klay. It isn't like a system is just set in stone...coaches aren't dumb enough to get a guy like Curry and not run him off of tons of screens to cause a lot of problems for defenses.

I don't think you are understanding the order of events properly.

It's completely overblown - lillard is a comparable long range threat... And Curry's lack of defensive impact or rim attack compared to say, Kawhi, offsets drawing standard double teams a few feet further out on the floor

The Dame is Curry comparison has become a meme at this point. I wonder if people realize it is a joke or if they actually expect others to take it seriously? Just a reminder: Curry met the Trail Blazers in the playoffs in two series already and the Trail Blazers haven't won a game yet in any of those games in which Curry played.

As for Curry's open looks, that just highlights one of Curry's overlooked strengths. He's fast and mobile and has a great off-ball game. He can also shoot it from 30+ feet.

Show below 40% in 2015 and went 7/22 at home when he could have gone up 3 - 1 on the series, got outplayed by Curry in the 3 straight losses when it came to crunch time.

Remember that Game 5? I believe James puts the Cavs up 1 in the middle of the 4th and Steph just goes off and ends up scoring 17 in the quarter.

First two games aside, Steph shot 47.7% from three on 11 attempts per game for the last 4 games of the series and didn't win FMVP, that's just outrageous.

How dumb are you? Couldn't I just spin this around and say that most players don't wield the ability to handle the ball for that long? As soon as Curry faces a double team he passes the ball immediately because he's no longer effective. Part of the importance of holding the ball is keeping a live dribble, having good vision/IQ to recognize a double, and the ability to split a double-team. You're underrating these things severely.

Steph hasn't been bad by regular bball standards. Steph isn't being judged by regular standards though he's being judged by the standard his Stan's set for him. Wether it's the Best player on his team or in the world. Some have even gone as far to suggest he's better or as good as mj and LeBron offensively.

Steph has been good I don't think anyone's arguing that. He hasn't been great though and great is the standard to which he is measured against.

Oh you mean the guy putting up 21 a game? That guy?

Way to stick your d1ck in your mouth. :lol

You now agree that KD could have went to any team that had a guy putting up 21 and still beat his ass in 2017 and 2018. LeBron is his bitch. Enjoy.

Damn.. this is too easy. Lefail stans just ether themselves. I don't even have to do it anymore. :applause:

Hmm Interesting, I never knew the Warriors only had two players on their team. When did they trade Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala?

The more you know :lol

Kyrie matches Curry

Love matches Klay

So ur telling me that the guy you think is the greatest player of all time can't overcome Draymond?.. And Iggy is a 7 ppg bench player that every team can match

MJ won 6 rings beating better top-to-bottom casts

[2swift4u]

This is not the first playoff series that Curry has been a no-show. I still don't get why people think he's that good. Durant and even Igudala are so much more important on that team and yet there's all that Curry goat talk. :facepalm

Reminder: Kyrie > Curry on the championship level

because Finals teams had the time to prepare for Curry's attack and sort out their rotations against any potential gimmicks - so kyrie's superior raw skill can free himself up against set defenses in the Finals

What happened to kyrie in the playoffs then mate?

He's proven himself to be an iso baller and intangible low iq for team game and leadership.

Its like comparing bob mcadoo to bill Russell...

You are ignoring intangibles and teamwork here because it doesnt fit your bran agenda. (pumping up his help) But you've gone too far and violated your own core theses on teamwork and fit.

3ball has let the LeBron stans corrupt him over to the dark side of conflicting agenda talking points and flat out intellectual dishonesty. And to think there was a time when 3ball was 100% factual and legitimate with his posting, it was a work of art. Now he has fallen.

[tontoz]

In the last 3 games Curry (without Durant) has averaged 35 pts with a TS of 70%.

Where is Irving without Lebron?

I don

[TheCorporation]

I don’t know that we have enough of a sample size to conclude this much. What we can conclude is that in the finals when the game is on the line, lebron cowers like a bitch boy and relies on the skills of players like Kyrie and Ray Allen to win games for him. He has zero instances of being clutch in the finals.

Yup... Dingo is proving himself to be far more of a threat than bran because his style is GOAT teamwork... Which is 3balls calling card. Now he has nowhere to turn. :confusedshrug:

Curry is very frustrating to argue against because his all-round elite skillset both on and off-ball allows his teammates and teamwork to reach peak levels... :facepalm

So he always fields the best teams.. :confusedshrug:

just like Mike.. :applause:

It's a tough one

thats why you just gotta accept it bro.

The Dubs are averaging 40 more passes a game without Durant... think about that.

Then you realize.. KD is nowhere near the ball dominator lebron is..

Just imagine how much bran would cripple the warriors ball movement to get his productions...

[RRR3]

I’m obsessed with LeBron. Bran Bran Bran Bran Bran Bran Bran.
Shut the hell up

You're 100% right

And it amazes me every time I hear a media person say the Warriors are better without Durant's ball-domination.. because it's like, 'ok, and that's what people say about lebron, but much worse'

Lebron and Durant's value to the Warriors is as big men, interior bangers/defenders. But offensively, they're too big and slow and slow the Warriors down

[tpols]

Shut the hell up


mate calm down. ive seen you post that corny line a couple dozen times in the past few weeks. its old.

find something else, get creative.

And of course, lebron has been a bad defender for many years now and hasn't made all-defense since 2014, or 1st team all-defense since 2013

So I'm not sure when he'd have great value on the Warriors since younger lebron wasn't as good an interior banger as he is now, but now he sucks defensively

Durant has never even made a defensive team. His defensive metrics the last two years are awful.

Then Mike sometime in the next 4.

I was a bigger curry hater than alot of people on here but i have to admit i kind of miss him. I may not think his impact was as big as his diehard fans did but he was exciting to watch and him being healthy and playing right now would make things alot more interesting.
