Westbrook is 8-25 with 7 turnovers while being guarded by Curry for the series...

It's actually come to curry fans hyping up his DEFENSE of all things

That's how bad it's gotten for you guys. You're hyping up his defense after he was out-played by ANDRE ROBERSON on both ends in a critical game 4!!!

Westbrook goes 8-25 against anyone... that's a common theme for him. If Curry's such a monster on D... why is Klay the primary defender? Curry's been AWFUL on offense all series anyway.... dude is shooting terribly and almost has an even assist/turnover ratio... that's downright awful for a PG. So why can't he step on D and be Westbrook's primary defender since his offense has been terrible and thus his impact is negative. You'd think he'd step up in other ways but I honestly don't think he has the heart for that.

Curry doesn't play defense, though.

He just gets a few steals a game...despite being a net positive on that end ALL year.

I wonder how many assists russ got with curry as primary defender......however with the information presented we can draw a few conclusions:

1) That graphic accounts for 25 shots and 7 turnovers, in otherwords 32 possesions.

2) westbrook has 109 shots 55 assists and 23 turovers so far this series. Approximately 187 possessions.

3) we can make room for substituton patterns and what not but the reality is curry has been confirmed to spend 32/187 possesions covering russ(give a few more for any assists russ had with him there)

32/187 confirmed possessions, on the opposing star point guard.

Curry plays more defense on Bogut than on Westbrook

"Per ESPN Stats and Information, Russell Westbrook is 8-of-25 FG with 7 turnovers when Steph Curry is his primary defender in this series."

The reason Curry's not on him full time is because Westbrook is allowed to dive into defenders on drives and get fouls called. Plus, you never leave the best offensive player in the world on a guy like Westbrook full time. Not even Jordan guarded his match up full time if the opposing player was a star.

Stupid stat.

Westbrook easily blows by Curry and is met at the rim by Green and he forces up a lay up and misses.

That would be a good thing for Curry in terms of this stat.

This.

The reality is...EVERYONE in the league knows that Glass is a defensive LIABILITY, including his OWN COACH, who is constantly trying to find a defensive match-up to minimize Chokurry's inept defense.

Anyone have the stats when he was guarding Roberson and Waiters?

Thanks in advance.

It's not Curry though...it's Westbrick himself...he himself is the greatest defender he's ever faced because of how prone to stupidity and shot jacking he is.
