If you think Stephen Curry takes bad shots...

[Prime_Shaq]

GOAT shooter but many of his shots the last game were bad shots, no way around that.

As a PG he should know better than to take such bad shots. He'd have way more assists if he'd passed the ball instead. The game wouldn't have even been that close...

This is probably coming from someone that can't dribble with their left, or thinks a behind the back pass is "too flashy" because they can't do it themselves.

too flashy I grew up with magic johnson and MJ you little fagggot.

If you look at it just by percentages then you really truly don't understand basketball. Also, let's just disregard that post All-Star game he shot 50% fg, 52% tres, 95% ft's on very high volume.
.

I'm looking at it as bad offense and bad teamplay. There is no reason for a single player to average 14 3s a game. The entire league is tacitly acknowledging this by continuing its transition from the post MJ era of ISOs to the passing non-chucking game.

The last 15 champions (SA, MIA, MIA, MAV ,LA,LA, BOS, SAS, MIA, SAS, DET, SAS, LA, LA, LA) rarely had dominant chuckers, the key players were (lebron, old wade, bosh, old duncan, leonard, tony, manu, parker, dirk, kidd, chandler, kobe, gasol, odom, bynum, kg, pierce,allen, rondo, old shaq, prime wade, prime duncan, horry, sheed, billups, big ben, hamilton, prime shaq) . As you can see in bold, the only occurances in the last 15 years, where a player shot alot, that player was either lebron, kobe, prime wade, prime duncan , prime shaq. Can you compare curry to these guys?

Only kobe really chucked like nuts and gasol/odom/bynum boarded that shit to hide the negative chucking effects. He also lost one in 2004 because of chucking while shaq was destroying people, as always. Wade also chucked a lot but had the best finals series ever (+ favorable refs ) and he also had great bigs (shaq, zo) to clean up the glass. Duncan had a subpar shooting finals in 2005 but there weren't many other options and he rebounded a lot of that himself.

15 years of championship play say chucking isn't efficient.

You want him to change up what he does because he missed a few shots? Also, if you actually watch how the Dubs play...him making ONE trey is worth so much more than three points to them. It completely ignites their game because they know how hot he can get. They start pushing it up, attacking the glass, etc. One shot from him is all they need for the other players to believe a comeback is possible.
.

that's exactly the problem you dumb fck. A championship-level offense isn't based on hype, it's based on sustainability. Pass-and-move spurs, heat-spacing, LA size, etc. Hype chucking goes in the RS against tired teams, light gameplanning and bottom dwellers. In the PO all teams gameplan, don't you think Pop, Joerger or Blatt would gameplan for this? How do you think the pelicans almost won game 3 with that sorry team of theirs?

Do GS players need to get ignited in the PO? Does golden state need curry shooting so much ? with a team like GS there is no reason to need to believe in a comeback against the fcking pelicans.... they got in that bad position by currys chucking, they should be absolutely destroying the pelicans, instead they had some close games.

The only stupid thing he did last night was actually NOT attacking more. The Pelicans often switched on p and r's and he settled for passing it. If he gets Ryan Anderson on him he should be getting all the way to the cup everytime. He tried to play "swing it around" offense instead and it led to nonsense like Iggy shooting up 3 to 4 long j's or treys against a closing out Brow.

he didn't attack more on mismatches because the pelicans shadowed him, leaving people open, so swinging the ball was actually a good tactic instead of chucking or attacking. If he had attacked the rim more the Pelicans had davis/asik with excellent/good help defense and he'd run into a dead man zone where he'd probably TO the ball against the best fastbreak big in the game .. or shoot the ball over a 7fter.


Chucking has never been something positive, just glorified after MJ. It seems to work when teams have size that rebound, but that is unsustainable and thus inefficient. These teams win because of size, not because of chucking. Funnily enough it is a bad psychological tactic because of the large swings it produces. Statistically speaking high variation in sports produces more Ls than Ws in the long run, but I'm probably wasting my breath here ...

TLDR : Son, i've been watching ball before your ass was even born, through various players, eras, tactics and rules. Stick to watching espn and heroball.
