Steph fans were attacking me for saying he isn't a great passer the other day lmaooo

I didn't even say he was a bad passer. He's a good flawed passer but he by no means a great passer. There's a reason Draymond and Iggy had ball handling and playmaking duties like 95% of the time they played together

And it wasn't just because Steph is great off ball. He has a lot of holes in his pick and roll and overall passing game. Flashy but error prone ball handler too

He's a shooting guard playing Pg

Ja Morant wasn't double teamed.

Steph played like an MVP tonight: 47 minutes, double teamed the entire 4th and OT, still put up 39 points. Was he loose with the ball, yea he had 7 turnovers.

But the Warriors had a chance to win and Draymond airballed a game winning layup. I guess Steph probably regrets not jacking up a 3 while double teamed.

So the other night vs the Lakers, Draymond was still the best defender in the league, and tonight, it’s back to “worst supporting cast”. Okay.


His team shouldn't of even sniffed the playoffs and he played decent. You guys are weirdos with the Curry hate.


It’s not hate at all. My point is simple: I don’t agree that this cast is as terrible as some claim it is. I don’t think it’s great at all, I don’t think it’s good even. But it’s not horrendous, I think some people are stretching that. Go back and read through all 100 pages of the Warriors-Lakers game the other day and you’ll see how the supporting cast was being praised by many who rip them to shreds to uplift Curry. That’s what bothers me.

You may be right. Maybe I'm jaded...

because I've seen Dame.

I've seen Harden.

I've seen Westbrook.

Each took relative rubbish rosters to the the first round at least.

All while Curry fans exalted him over them because of....WINS

Wow you're really defending him? He's basically the reason Warriors lost that game and not make the playoffs. He was airballing and missing wide open shots and layups. Draymond probably wants to kick his nuts
Smh, you're not getting the point of the statement made....no one said he played good.

But you're saying he needs to be out of the league bc of his play?

I don’t blame Curry for having 7 turnovers when Wiggins is just standing in 1 spot & nobody is guarding Green/JTA/Looney.

He’s having to lob passes over a double team & through 3 roaming defenders.

Draymond missing basically a open layup into a air ball lost them the game. If I’m Wiggins the last person who could talk is Draymond

It’s BS how the Warriors earned the 8th spot over a 72 game season just to get knocked out over a 2 day stretch.


It’s better for curry, won’t have a chance of being swept
In the playoffs.

Losing 2 straight play in games isn’t much better than a sweep against the 1 seed tbh

Not sure why he’s so hyped


Depending on how the playoff series go they should move him while he has some value

12 games back from year long knee injury. Guy definitely shows he has value first two years in the lg.

Amazing that a perimeter NBA player can miss a 3 pointer that bad

I think Draymond airballing that potential game winning lay up/runner was worse.

You know this game was huge for the Memphis franchise and fans when their RealGM game thread reached the third page.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.
