He wasn't a liability on defense. So he just left him to his own devices it seems.

Yup. Conserved energy all series being a liability on defense and chucked against a garbage young team who had no business going 7 with the stacked Warriors

Curry is like a special Olympics guy. Because he's so disadvantaged mentally and physically we cheer things that should be frowned upon like going 7 with the queens, not playing D, and trying to take glory in game 7 by chucking and stat padding

Yea. Though I'd argue he needed to with the way Wiggins and Klay were shooting. He did stat pad to get to 50, but even if he didn't score 50, it would have been a remarkable performance.

Kings 2nd-4th leading scorers had the same amount of points as Warriors 2nd-4th leading scorers despite Currys chucking.

Curry had plenty of help and has the most stacked in the league. They faced a young team with no superstar. This shouldn't move anyone.

Curry has always been a liability defensively (though in last year's finals, he was pretty good). I don't see how this is a garbage young team. They had a better record than GS and jumped out to an early lead.

Sounds like you're hatin on what was a pretty damn good performance, regardless of him staying in to pad his stats. You also forgot to mention how badly Wiggins and Klay were shooting:

Wiggins: 5-16 (31%)
Klay: 4-19 (21%)

That's terrible support in a game 7. Add Dray at 3-7, and Jordan Poole shooting 3-9, then you can kinda understand why Steph shot as much as he did. Those four shot a combined 15-51 (29%). That's abysmal for a game 7.

Plenty of help? Read my last post. They gave him garbage help and he did what he had to do to get the win. Why the hate?

Currys 2nd-4th leading scorers scored the same as the Kings despite him taking insane amount of shots and not playing D like Wiggins and Klay did.

Looney became sakuragi when it mattered the most. Once the kings failed to make consecutive shots, they eventually pulled away. With chef doing his usual thing on garbage time. Many people are happy because it was done on the road given the dubs had an abysmal record outside their own floor.

So all other factors were equal.....except Steph? Consider what you basically just said. Steph's cast and the King's cast cancelled one another out. Kings played great D on GS (with the exception of Steph) and GS played great D on SAC.

So the remaining factor was...well...Steph...who, at least up to when it mattered, had 43 points?

How is that not a phenomenal performance given everything I just mentioned. And how the hell is it dick riding when I said in a few comments ago that he was clearly stat padding?

In garbage time? Steph already had 20 points in the first half when the two teams were separated by just 2 points. The score was 67-62 in the 3rd quarter when Steph scored his 28th point. He put things away in the 4th but the game was still within reach. GS was only up by 10 with 11 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, and Steph had 34 points up to that point.

Steph put the game out of reach. I agree he stat padded, but let's not get carried away and act like he didn't have a great game. What was he supposed to do, rely on his teammates who couldn't hit anything?

Well, they didn't have home court advantage. It was a game 7. And his squad shot the ball terribly. Idk, that might have something to do with it. He's 35 and dropped the most points in a playoff game for that age since Malone did it in 2000 at the age of 36. And he set a record for game 7s, albeit through statpadding.

Is it the most phenomenal playoff performance ever? No. I certainly don't believe so. But you're really downplaying for what it IS...which is a great performance.

If GS wins and Steph scores 43....is it still not a great performance?

I meant in the 2nd half lol. I'm aware that he had almost 30 before halftime but the game was essentially over before the third quarter ended. The dubs never trailed anymore at that point, even if their lead was still within reach. He would not have done the same thing if the kings were able to counter those rallies properly and kept the game close instead.

Sure bro. Phenomenal performance. Beat the young kings who nobody thought had a chance. Shot 38 times and played no D.

It's more like I'm saying it's underachieving for it to go game 7 in the 1st place regardless how he plays in game 7. People are losing sight of that and overrating a good shooting performance.

Mehhhhh. They're definitely talented and Fox is a great player although who knows how hurt his hand actually was.

But they ARE young and their play in the second half today showed that. Completely shit the bed. The vibe for me wasn't necessarily Curry striking and taking their souls, but more so them not being ready and him picking on an already broken team (and pick on them he did). They just didn't have it today.

I think the Nuggets in 2020 take them out too. And it's tough to imagine playoff Jimmy of the last 3 years losing to them, regardless of whether or not Bam plays the whole time. The Kings didn't have a "guy" to pull them out of the hole they'd gotten themselves in.

They need to get a scrappy big man and 6 months of brooding over what just happened here.

Denver's the only arguable one since they were the only healthy good team that the Lakers faced in that run (and they had to fight back from down 1 - 3 in B2B series while the Lakers coasted). Heat had injuries to two of their 3 best players.

Like...who the fvck on the Kings is handling Jokic? Sabonis showed his ass this series and got completely taken advantage of on both ends. It was almost a Trae Young vs the Heat last year or a Julius Randle against the Hawks 2 years ago type of stocking dropping series. Maybe not quite as bad as those but it was pretty brutal.

The Heat had injuries but also had a guy. The energy that Jimmy plays with..it's hard to imagine a young team that ultimately shit the bed being able to handle that over a series with everything on the line.

Jokic is no defensive stud either. That's actually a nice match-up because we're talking about pre-MVP Jokic. Murray was arguably their best player in the 2020 run. Who's handling Fox or Monk? When we look at the supporting casts next to the 2 stars on both sides, Kings win by a mile IMO. Add in the fact that they'd be playing in the bubble with no fans & no distractions.

Pre-MVP Jokic as in 8 months before the first MVP was awarded. He is by far the best player in that series. The way that he plays? Nobody on the Kings would be able to mentally accept what is happening much less defend it. If Murray is going off too then it's no question.

Yes Fox and Monk would get theirs, and yes most of the games would be very high scoring. But there is absolutely nothing the Kings would be able to do when Jokic needs a bucket other than doubling every possession. And we know what he can do as a passer.

Called it a fluke because he had never done anything close to that in the POs at the time, and since we saw players shoot well above their average in other games in the bubble it was the right opinion at the time because people wanted to rank him above legitimate top 30-40s GOATs based off 1 Playoff series lol.

That's fair.

That's also fair. Steph played awesome basketball and took advantage of a team with it's tail between it's legs. I don't think it was some heroic performance with him putting the team on his back or anything though. The Kings sucked today and Steph was great. That combo = 50.

Yeah I think you could put his Game 7 against OKC over this one tbh but this just happened & he did it at 35 & on the road so it feels like a greater achievement. That OKC team was battle-tested & much better defensively and he put up 36/5/8 with just 3 FTs and in a much lower-scoring/closer game as well.

I think he's probably better than Drexler at this point but maybe not when it comes purely to the skillset.

Drexler won a title in '95. Bailed out the Rockets vs. Utah down 1 - 2 in a BO5 in the 1st rd with 41/9/6 & 31/10/3 in B2B elimination games & also had 30 pts 7 ast on 12/17 FG in the Game 2 win in that series so he was superstar-level vs. a great Jazz team in all 3 wins. 29/8/4 2 blks in Game 7 @ Phoenix, 22/10/7 averages in the '95 Finals.

So knowing all that just from 1 Drexler Playoff run, I wasn't going to even entertain the conversation back in 2020. It's a different one now, though if we're talking all-time rankings then Jimmy right now would not be above Drexler based on their resumes.

Obviously in 2020 you're taking Drexler no question. I'll vouch for anyone who would.

I don't think he could get to the heights that Jimmy would now. Those Blazers teams were pretty good. Porter, Kersey, etc. It obviously hurts to go against absolute peak Jordan...no one is winning that battle. But the personality and fearlessness that Jimmy plays with would have made that series more interesting.

Why are people mentioning Curry taking 38 shots? He had a 62.2 %TS in this game. Also 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 turnover. It was an incredible performance!

I meant in the 2nd half lol. I'm aware that he had almost 30 before halftime but the game was essentially over before the third quarter ended. The dubs never trailed anymore at that point, even if their lead was still within reach. He would not have done the same thing if the kings were able to counter those rallies properly and kept the game close instead.

But look at how high you're setting the bar. You said he splashed during garbage time, so what does that make the first 36 points that he scored? If that's the metric by which we gauge a player's dominance in an individual game, then got damn, I dunno what else to say.

He lit it up after it was obvious the Kings would lose, but that was after he scored 40 points. How many guys have scored 40+ in a game 7 in NBA history? And look at the names...all elite.

No idea; did you look at his cast? 15-51 for 29% from his 2-5. Terrible support. He did what he had to do to get the win. I agree with you. It was a phenomenal game. People acting like his stat padding and lack of defense takes away from the overall effort are missing the forest for the trees.

Let's not forget that the Kings had the lead at the half and Curry's teammates wet the bed. Curry did the mamba thing, if i am going down i will go down shooting. And he made the shots.

The Kings bench outscored the Ws bench 41-18. Sabonis dropped 15 just in the first half. Curry went off because he had to.

Some trolls talk about Curry as just a 3 pt shooter. He scored 26 on 2s shooting 13-20. He scored more just on 2s than anyone else had total in the game.

This wasn't a back and forth fight till the end or some underdog performance like Butler vs Bucks, the Kings didn't show up and were seen as the sacrificial lambs. The game was over by the end of the 3th with Klay's dagger. At least the Lakers sat down their starters on the 4th when the game was over vs Memphis. There is no honour going off on a team that had already given up and were just waiting till the end of the game.

Curry scored 40% of his points on a dead horse when the game was over lol. Dude took 38 shots :roll:

It was a 10 point game with 11 minutes left. Curry scored 2 points in the last 5:30. Math isn't your strong point obviously.
