is currys window to win fmvp over?

[And1AllDay]

is the window closed?

[fourkicks44]

I just don't see the Warriors making it back to the finals before he retires.

I could be proven wrong and they pull some moves and get a legit team around him


But at this stage, I don't see it happening.

I don't know. Its not hard for me to see them getting back to the finals next year and then who know what will happen. They still have the core trio who were at the heart of that 73 win season. Not having Iggy anymore is a loss as are several of their other depth guys like Livingston and Bogut, but they may well have the #1 draft pick to trade or fill a hole and they have Wiggins for whatever that's worth.

I could see scenarios where the West playoffs next year aren't as daunting as they may seem now. Davis is injury prone and LeBron is aging, plus who knows if Davis is even coming back. Maybe he moves on. Leonard and George are both walking injury concerns. Westbrook doesn't have the skill game to stave off athletic decline which will begin to increasingly affect him in the coming years as he's now on the wrong side of 30. The top West teams may well be easier outs than expected, leaving a trip to the finals wide open for a Warriors team with renewed motivation to win.

And if the Warriors manage to win, Curry doesn't have a teammate to take his shine anymore. Even without a spectacular series he'd have a good shot at getting the award.

Honestly, i'm not sure if gs can win in the finals again if they'll face another eastern team aside from cleveland. But even the championships against them weren't even enough to give him the fmvp.

[tanibanana]

Its closing real fast, I'm just not confident to say its fully closed.

[Celtics 1825]

Next year is unfortunately his last chance I'd say

[ImKobe]

He'll have plenty of chances, especially with Klay and Green still close to their primes + Wiggins + lotto pick this year + a potential lotto pick next season. Curry's coming off a 28/6/6 Finals run and a whole lot of time off, he'll have at least 2-3 more years to win one.

[Turbo Slayer]

No way. I give him 5 more years.

[FultzNationRISE]

It’s not TECHNICALLY over, but realistically... if he couldnt win one the first four times it was laid out on a platter for him to do so... the likelyhood of him ever getting another chance like that, let alone capitalizing on it....


Well it doesnt inspire a lot of confidence I must say.

[Axe]

The bigger question is, can they revive this dynasty back after a few years and some hiatus this season?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Hard to see them making finals again

They won't be a top 4 seed next year IMO

Lakers, Clips, Rockets, Mavs, Nuggs will all be seeded higher.

Don't be surprised by a 1st round upset.

Iggy ain't going back either. They have no more FMVP energy

[scuzzy]

Not many star players swing and miss FMVP votes in their first 5 Finals


Kobe and Curry were a rare breed

This

He had his best shot at FMVP last year with injuries to teammates inability to outshine him, but he got skunked by Fred Van Vleet

Even with Love and Irving down in 2015 Lebron respectively snatched 4-7 votes

Yeah but too bad. Curry couldn't even carry his own team.

Good comment Axe.

I think many are underselling the likelihood of a Warriors resurgence. Even without their lottery assets, they could return to title contention as early as next season depending on their mentality.

These consecutive titeless seasons might be enough to remotivate them, which in itself would outvalue any realistic roster additions. Their championship culture slackened too much thanks to the hubris of their effortless dynasty, and that might've been a greater downfall than their injuries. The annals will always overemphasize Durant's injury, but last Finals were plausibly winnable without him; their playable talent just underachieved due to their defensive and teamplay indiscipline.

If they re-establish that chip on their shoulder, the Splash Brothers at full strength in addition to their lottery picks might suffice—maybe not to become first-pick favorites as they were the previous-three seasons, but definitely enough to be in the hunt. They'll need to retool their bench, too, but it's much easier to replace staple role-players, such as Iggy, when you have an optimally coached system to plug them into.

Will Curry win a Finals MVP, however?

That could hinge on what they do with their draftees: if they somehow use them to machinate a trade for another superstar, I wouldn't wage heftily on Curry winning the award over them. If they simply bolster his supporting cast on the other hand, I think Curry will answer the bells next time around, but winning the championship will be uphill in itself with these LA powerhouses to vie with and much better Finals competition than they previously beat waiting on the biggest stage.

Ive never been a huge steph fan but i have to agree with this. The rules are even easier now than when he won gis unanimous mvp. Theres 20 point scorers putting up close to 30 this year. Plus warriors will still move the ball better than anyone and therefore win more than anyone so steph will not only have the stats but he'll probably have the best record also. I say he has a good 2 to 3 years left to possibly win another .

Well, he navigated through that window after two more years of it "closing." :pimp:
