Stephen Curry and Warriors nearly falling to 11th seed

[Stanley Kobrick]

wow, very surreal to think Stephen Curry who has Draymond, Wiggins, Oubre and 2nd pick Wiseman can't even lead his team to a better record than De'Aaron Fox's Kings or Dillon Brook's Grizzlies. They aren't even all-stars, or have any all-star teammates. Interesting to say the least

[Axe]

Even the mediocre spurs with the likes of derozan, mills and poetl that lost aldridge to the nets have a better record this season than them.

[LAmbruh]

Yikes


2019 Lakers except....

Lebron missed 28 games
Ingram missed 30
Lonzo missed 35 games
Rondo missed 36 game
Hart missed 20 games
4th seed before LBJ injury (2 games out 2nd seed)
And they tanked after ASG for the most part



OTOH Curry and Warriors have been healthy, desperately trying and terrible all year :oldlol:

very good point, how can we call DeRozan a Trash Bro and Curry a Splash Bro if Curry without Klay can't even lead a better record than a Trash Bro. :ohwell:

[Gohan]

It’s called “the struggle” everyone has to pay their dues to the game even curry. Iverson, Kobe , and now even curry has to pay his dues. All curry has to do is have some 10-27 nights and he’s set

kobe and iverson still kept their teams competitive. kobe had smush and kwame a 8th seed. iverson had old mutombo in the Finals. stephen curry has never made the playoff without Klay, not even close either. when a stephen curry team doesn't have 3 all-nba teammates and a deep bench, everyone just expects them to fall off the map. rightfully so too, he'll make great teams better but he doesn't lift the average team good or make the slightly bad team decent. give the same roster to kawhi, harden, durant, lebron people would expect this warriors team to not only content, but to compete for a chip.

rookie Wiggins was traded straight up for prime KLove

prime Wiggins with Curry :( poor Steph, time to tank.... again.


Lebron, Wiggins, Draymond is a superteam. Plus 20ppg Kyle "Pippen" Oubreham AND a 2nd overall pick. muh gawd :biggums:

Draymond is averaging 6 ppg shooting 40%. :bowdown:

Can't understand why they arent a 1 or 2 seed.

[Stanley Kobrick]

Draymond is averaging 6 ppg shooting 40%. :bowdown:

Can't understand why they arent a 1 or 2 seed.

Similar to prime Ben Wallace, being the vocal 2x dpoy defensive anchor, grabbing boards, double doubles, triple doubles. only upside is Draymond can give you 10-15 assists any given night, he averages 8.5. Draymonds role isn't to be the 2nd option. was hoping to see Wiggins and Oubre improve from 20ppg under stephen curry, but they've been reduced as well. i guess the gravity talk making everything easier was a facade, perhaps they get fatigued quicker guarding stephen curry's man. really makes you appreciate klay even more

[tontoz]

At age 30 Ben Wallace averaged 12.2 rebounds per game, compared to 8.4 for Draymond in a faster paced era.

In December Oubre averaged 8 ppg shooting 29%. Do you really think that was Steph's fault or did he just come into the season unprepared? This is his 3rd team in 6 seasons. Two teams decided he wasn't a keeper. Next year he will be on his 4th team. He has never averaged 20 ppg for a season although he did average 20 ppg last month.

Wiggins is scoring with a career best TS of 57%. His career average TS is 52.6%.

For the record the Warriors are only 2 games out of the 7 spot.

i looked at basketballreference and noticed Wallace had 1.7 assists to Draymond's 8.5 as well. can't blame Wallace, rebounds is all he did because well he was a center. Draymond can't sit in the paint like that all game scooping boards because he guards the top perimeter players as well as the top bigs since he's quick on his feet defending 1-5, in a much spacier 3point era. and unlike Ben, Draymond is asked to be a primary playmaker along with primary screen setter and sometimes DPOY and All-nba and maybe an Olympic team. but hopefully warriors can get in front of 7 spot Dallas, never would have though 21yo Luka would have his team above Warriors and superstar Stephen Curry. but here we are for the 2nd year, again

Not to mention, Wiseman has played in only 33 games and started just 21 of them. Steph missed 7 games where his team was 1-6 in them. Draymond has also missed 7 games. Oubre has been a nightmare.

all that to be at the 9th seed just before his injury. prioritizing stats resulting in turning his teammates into full time screen setters gets you that lottery contention.

wonder why the spurs are a higher seed in the same conference without a "superstar" like curry :rolleyes:

[Mr. Woke]

I bet Curry wishes that KD were still around instead of bum ass Draymond.

Shrek cannot score to save his life. His defense has suffered and his playmaking is overrated.

The GSW need to strongly consider trading Draymond.

2nd over pick not starting in the NBA means the Warriors starting frontcourts is especially talented to compete without him. Oubre has been a nightmare, why though the gravity stephen curry attracts making the game easier for everyone..... just not anymore. When does this begin back up, when Klay returns and they acquire another #1-#2 pick. Perhaps when Iggy, Durant and Barnes return too. 3 ex teammates, leading 3 separate teams to a better record than Warriors. sounds like some anti-gravity physics stephen curry is permitting, the further away they the safer teammates results. i believe that would make somebody the definition of a blackhole, or just somebody with bad body odor :ohwell:

What does that have to do with your original statement? Clearly Steph isn't "withering" away. And clearly he is a superstar. It's funny you mention that he "prioritizes" stats. Please tell me, who else would be doing the scoring? Wiggins?

The fact is, Steph is doing the best that he can with a cast that is lack luster and injured. Draymond is nowhere near the player he was in 2015-18. Oubre has been terrible. Wiseman has missed significant time and has barely started. In addition, Stephen has been out and the team is 1-6 in those games.

Just admit your comment was dumb, because it was.

The Warriors are only 2 games out of the 7th seed in spite of the fact that they are 1-6 without Steph, in spite of the fact that Oubre was a national joke to start the season, in spite of Draymond's inability to score in an empty gym.

Curry is currently 2nd in the league in RPM, pretty good for "a joke of a player".

FYI the Suns went 8-0 in the bubble without Chris Paul. The only teams in the bubble were teams that had a chance to make the playoffs so it isn't like they were playing weak teams.

Like i said they haven't missed the playoffs dumbass. They are only 2 games out of the 7 seed.

The Suns were 8-0 in the bubble against playoff teams without Chris Paul. They were already on the rise before Paul got there.

You act like the Warriors are underachieving yet Vegas was predicting them to be roughly .500. Nobody expected them to be a top 4 seed in the West.

Wiggins is having a career year in scoring efficiency. I wonder why.

cp3 is a proven impact player.

That's the ticket, pointing out Warriors roster means nothing when 2nd-3rd year 21-22yo on Kings, Mavs, Spurs, Pelicans who aren't household names with worse teammates have their squad in similar or better positions.

This is the standard Curry we all remember he floated Warriors around pre-2015. Right there next to Ingram's Pelicans and Morants Grizzlies. Not even scratching Lillard territory anymore. He just can't hoist average teams like that, he's not even the leader on his own team

Curry was averaging 32 ppg in Feb with a TS of 68%. He was lighting it up.

Not only that but the blowout also did happen in their own floor at chase center. Now this could be contentious but maybe if he let the amateur oubre score more, then their defeat during that day wouldn't have been that lopsided. I know i've lost track of it but in the first three games where oubre outscored his first scoring option, they were undefeated back then.

Lost by 3 against a building dc team in chase center, what a shame. Meanwhile westbrook cooked another triple-double for wizards dinner as dubs fell behind playoff contention by three games. The pressure is only rising with 20 games and lesser left for the remainder of the season.

Curry doesn't need a screen to shoot 3s off the dribble. Per the recent Zach Lowe podcast the number of pick and rolls for Steph this year is no different that the past few seasons.

Funny how Wiggins, Iggy and Klay seem to be immune from this mysterious malady.

perhaps you've never played basketball, that's okay most are unfamiliar with screens and picks being 2 different things. but i'm glad to hear Wiggins is playing at a career elite level now, giving Stephen Curry an even more reason to win games. just not enough to get past Westbrook


per Draymond '6ppg on 40%' Green

[tontoz]

I played a lot and I know that setting screens isn't preventing Green from making wide open shots.

During the 15/16 season Green averaged 14 ppg with a TS of 59%. This year he is averaging 6 ppg with a TS of 49%.

His role hasn't changed. They actually need him to score more now but he can't even though he is left open all game every game.

so now stephen curry is elevating Wiggins, just not draymond and oubre? seems like you're conflicted where you want to pick and choose your theories, blaming 7/8 of the team for not coming into preseason prepared, then 1/8 stephen curry's gravity making life easy. unusual paradox you're fighting with yourself back n forth. but Green was still the guy who dropped 30ppg in elimination gm 7

and yeah there was a guy name Andre Bogut in 2015-16 who took on a massive load setting screens, big difference

Do you think GS is the only team in the league who sets screens? Do you have any info that would suggest GS sets more screens than other teams or are you just talking out of your ass?


Oubre started the season shooting 1-30 from three. That is just a mental issue. He has been fine inside the arc shooting 52%.

Green has played his whole career with Curry. He used to be able to make open shots at a reasonable clip now he cant.

Once again GS is +10 when Curry is on the floor. They are a disaster when he is off the floor.

Nick Friedell who covers the Warriors was on the Zach Lowe podcast and said that GS has a roster full of guys who would be the 10th man on other teams. He chronicles their multiple draft screwups. As a guy who makes a living covering the team I think he knows them better than you.

It existed long enough to show what the award is all about. Give the benefit of the doubt to the high scoring player or the previous ten time champion?

It's a crap shoot at best when it isn't being used to manipulate public opinion which is after all what superfluous tacked on awards are usually for.

Your kind of thinking shows the same kind of narrow-mindedness that is reflected in those awards. Such a superficial binary traditional view of the game. Offense-defense. Points-assists. Rebounds-steals. No, no, no. None of that takes account enhancing teammates by creating space around them. Or the superior mobility and transition game of one side and ability to up the tempo. Doesn't capture the will and determination to push through adversity and hound the opponent to the finish until they collapse.

It's the same as looking at a battlefield and thinking the army with the better tanks will win not taking into account the weather and superior logistics on the other side. Or thinking a cavalry unit is the way to go because they've been around for centuries and that paratroopers are a gimmick. The award voters understand the game like the field marshals of France understood WWII. They didn't know what was going on when the German war machine came along.

Destroying the morale of a team because they know you want them all traded to bring in a star on another team kind of kills that argument unless you are talking about leadership from a GM standpoint. But as an inspiring teammate? James? Absolutely not.

James couldn't make the finals with the same team for as long Curry because he was either defeated so badly there was no hope for revival and had to flee to another team or milked the one he was on for all it was worth and was left with a dried husk.

As that aphorism goes: the best defense is a good offense. In the case of the Warriors during team construction Curry's offensive abilities are taken into account which allows for more defensive teammates to be fielded with the aggregate result of raising overall team defense.

I've always found RPM questionable because it's DRPM is unreliable. If people are being honest there are no commonly available metrics that measure defense well.

Bron, Wade, Bosh overlapped. Bron doesn't have the requisite complete offensive repertoire that Curry has allowing the Warriors to not get as penalized as much for there only being one ball.

he's right. you cannot measure defense with just the box score. rpm isolates impact but we need more than steals and blocks. something like "rapm" would be more accurate because there is no box-score added. it is pure play by play. and includes man/help defense. curry isn't a good defender though, so i dont think he would fair well either.

When did that scenario go to 4 straight Finals and produce B2B titles like Miami did?

I was thinking in terms of offensive rating. But even in terms of finals and titles I don't really see the need to quibble. The Warriors had the interregnum where Durant was on the team making straight finals appearances hard to match cleanly and the Warriors without him won a title then went to a game 7 in another attempt at one. As close to a second title as you're going to get without actually getting one. In terms of other accomplishments the Warriors without KD won 67-plus games twice something the Heatles didn't do once and they did their thing in the Western Conference not an Eastern Conference that saw three of its best players concentrated on one team their departures from their previous teams creating a yawning imbalance of top end talent within the conference. They are a reasonably close match for comparison's sake.

having a high pick doesn't mean they should be successful. wiseman is a rookie and we're only going off his potential. draymond's numbers have also plummeted offensively. the only main and consistent staple is curry - who the warriors function much better with ON THE COURT than off.

Scoring 35 while giving up 36 to his opposing man. the gift and curse of Stephen Curry :( now if we can just get 1st team D all-nba klay back quick to cover his assignment

Imagine if curry lets this happen against his defensive assignments in the playoffs, could be in the finals as well. Then they lost, yet he gets no blame for it while other teammates prepare themselves to shoulder the said blame. Might be awkward when other players from other teams see that. :ohwell:

well fortunately the only time we see Stephen Curry make the playoffs, someone by the name of Klay is there to take the blame when Kyrie puts up 40pts in the Finals.

even braindead Ty Lue knows to target Stephen Curry on defense, i'm sure we all remember the most famous 'switch' in NBA history. mark jackson even calls it out for the casuals watching

Being a fellow splash bro, ofc klay will always be there to get his back. But it becomes a different story without him. Hopefully once he comes back tho, curry should also play the role of getting the blame when klay does something awfully wrong too. To put it simply it's a give and take affair.

Curry is currently ranked 2nd in the league in RPM overall without Klay. Their defense is ranked 8th in the league without Klay.

[tontoz]

But regardless, aren't you happy that your team were still able to win against them through his amazing effort? Tbh i would be if i were you.


It wasn't an amazing effort lol. Beal isn't healthy and sat out the next game.

At this point I just want to see the young guys develop. Rui has been showing good signs lately and Gafford looks like a good pickup. They are a long way from being good though.

That doesn't change the fact that he is 2nd only to LeBron in RPM overall due to his epic impact on offense.

You really aren't very good at this. Beal and Russ combined for 39 points against GS. They average a combined 52 ppg.

Yet they still won the game despite them being hampered and in the end, i believe that's what matters the most. So imho you shouldn't be flustered just because you see curry himself being clowned at for not quite living the expectations this season sans klay.

Well i mean curry lovers aren't much better. They actually think a dude who has one scoring title, 2 mvps and no finals mvp is on the same level as a player like mj who has like 10 scoring titles, 5 mvp's 6 fmvps, 9 first team defenses and a dpoy. I mean the shit is insane with these dudes.

Curry is having a great season. Unfortunately for him the rest of the team is the worst in the league. They are 1-7 without him with a point differential of -15.

Maybe he is but for his team? Not so much. So obviously, he can't do much to avoid being roasted for the shortcomings they're facing this season.

The teams shortcomings aren't his. It isn't his fault that the bench sucks, that green can't make a wide open shot, etc

But given he's the face of his team he couldn't do anything to offset them tho, i mean like carrying them to a decent seed. Probably earlier in the season, we've seen them do that but they've become worse as time goes on. Still at least they're doing a better job now than last season but in a conference full of mighty competitors battling for their respective spots, it just doesn't seem to be enough.

They don't even need the 8 seed. Just the 10 to make the play in tournament.


Seed Nos. 7 - 10 in both conferences, regardless of record. The top six finishers in each conference are guaranteed spots in the first round of the best of seven playoffs.

Oh i see. So you guys are fine with them playing in the losers bracket then huh.

Yet tpots is already proud and relieved that they don't need to get the 8th seed anymore because there's the existence of these mere so-called play-ins. Talk about low standards rt. So the goal for the dubs now will shift to not losing more games because at one game back are zion's pelicans poking them for a similar spot but even if they do stay between 9th or 10th at the end of this season, it just can't be overlooked that this is the best that his hero could lead them into in their second season sans klay.
