Yet those numbers dont equal Jokers career playoff averages.

[QUOTE=RRR3;15031291]Ttrolls ladies and gentlemen :facepalm. Jamal Murray having one hot series against a horribly coached team that gave him open jumpers means he’s better than Pau Gasol. What an idiot.[/QUOTE]
Murray averaged 26/6/5 in the two series before that as well. :lol
Youre a doofus. Guy simply balled out.
[QUOTE=tontoz;15031293]if that is what you want you could just rewatch the game. Game 5 in '17. Curry got to the foul line 15 times that game, another sign of just how much the Cavs D was focusing on him.[/QUOTE]
That's not even the Cavs that GS is playing in that picture unless you think #5 guarding the paint is J.R Smith :lol

26/6/5 is not the same. You are seriously trying to argue Jokic had more help relative to league than Kobe did. Embarrassing. His third best teammate was who KCP? :lol MPJ? :oldlol: Aaron Gordon? :lol your boy always had the best supporting cast in the league when he won Jokic won without that.

Who said they did, chico?

RRR3 would rather have Mo Williams than Jamal Murray because hey! Mo has made an All Star team. :lol
Forget the MJ numbers, we want Mo!
[QUOTE=tontoz;15031295]Then why doesnt KD take more 3? They are worth 50% more points and nobody is going to block his shot so it doesn't make sense to take midrange shots in favor of 3s.
The fact is that 21% of Curry's shots come from 10 feet out to the 3 pt line. Over 16 seasons that is a huge sample size.[/QUOTE]
He takes less 3's cause he's a better 2pt shooter. Just the opposite of Curry.
[QUOTE=Hey Yo;15031303]He takes less 3's cause he's a better 2pt shooter. Just the opposite of Curry.[/QUOTE]
That doesn't make sense from a math standpoint. Shooting 48% from midrange isn't as valuable as shooting 34% from 3.
[QUOTE=tontoz;15031304]That doesn't make sense from a math standpoint. Shooting 48% from midrange isn't as valuable as shooting 34% from 3.[/QUOTE]
Generally, sure. But there are certain situations where you just want the higher percentage shot, even outside of last second shots where you don't need a 3. A good example was Nets vs Milwaukee series in 21. Joe Harris couldn't hit the broad side of the barn, Kyrie was out... KD was by himself out there and whenever Mil would go on a run KD can back with a flurry of middies to stop the bleeding. It wasn't enough to match the runs, but in situations when the other team is hot and you have a KD who can pull off something like that and save you timeouts... it's incredibly valuable. Curry otoh, would not be able to get those shots off because he isn't 6'11 with a 7'5 wingspan.
I didn't make this post to say KD > Curry btw, just pointing out there's a psychological aspect of basketball that is much more than math(33.3% from 3 = 50% from 2).
The downside of 3s is variance. There are times when you want to take fewer 3s to reduce variance, typically in 4th quarter situations.
[QUOTE=tpols;15031283]A lot of these Lebron stans lost their nut over Paus 18/10 but want to disparage Murray putting up a Michael Jordan line. :lol
Too funny.
And the ultimate irony is Murray did it vs Lebrons Lakers so they had a front row seat. They watched it.[/QUOTE]
"Lakers were so much better than everyone else..."
"Lakers never beat a team as good as _______"
Meanwhile 2025 marked the first year that Yolk won a playoff series against a 50 win team. Not to mention the Heat team they faced in the finals is one of the all time weakest in history. A cindarella team that nobody picked to make it that far.

You do realize that there were 2 72 game seasons in recent years, right? Not many teams will win 50 out of 72.
That Cinderalla team is the same one that already made the finals in the bubble. I don't think a team gets to be Cinderella twice in 3 years.

:blah
Miami was 5 pts away from making the Finals the previous season.
Has anyone noticed almost everyone who voted for Kobe is infamous for being a stupid poster when it comes to the NBA? :lol
Reggie43 I think is the only person who seems normal who voted for Kobe everyone else is a notorious Kobe stan or idiot
