The guys you just named are Mount Rushmore potentials. Thanks for sharing.

Yea, we're the crazy ones... :nonono:


Dude, serious question, and you can easily search your own post history: how much time have you dedicated to hating on Steph Curry?

Just a straight up question. Don’t answer it with a question, just look at reality.

Yikes.

That guy seriously needs to get off Lebron's sack. It's really getting scary for him.

He's great, just not the MVP this year.

Luka showed Curry how to properly raise the floor last night.

The only one who's been exposed is Steve Kerr. There's enough talent on this roster for the Warriors to at least be 5 games over .500.

He's been rather befuddling. He was reluctant to play Curry an extra two minutes of the 4th in close games that could have turned at least 5 losses into wins, claiming that they weren't trying to wear down Curry and chase wins. But that's exactly what they're doing now fighting for a play-in spot.

He also held 0 practice or shoot around for a whole week leading up to “the most important game of the year”. Dudes a clown

Lol. You overrated the warriors talent. They are the worst team in the league 2 years running without Steph.

Talent where? Its Steph curry surrounded by scrubs and g-leaguers.

Sure you can say Wiggins is talented, but hes inconsistent and never shows up when needed. Thats wasted talent.

This. He gets his numbers on a bad team but he is unable to elevate his teammates as much attention as he gets. Scoring of his should be mostly ignored, he will get his. What else can you do besides it? Not much it seems. He also has way better supporting cast than many other teams ahead of him yet it doesn't result to wins in equal manner.

Scoring goes up, facilitating goes down. He’s an ATG offense force but I never rated him that highly as having great facilitating skills. I’ve never been wowed by a pass/advanced read. There’s a clear breakdown on it.

It’s not too dissimilar too a hyper focused one man offensive show. Curry is a shooting clinic we all know that, lacks a secondary option that’s all. Might have to pour more into Wiggins as a 20+ shot attempt player like in the Wolves days to have better returns overall.

I don’t think Kerr has realized that at all. You need to keep the offense going even if it’s below average, it’s better than being the worst in a like a decade without Curry. So bin the Barnes role for now and get Wiggins sinking shots even if some are questionable you need a 2nd option for Curry not a role player here.

Defense is solid (Green alone gives you that) which people just gloss over and don’t say anything about which I find weird.

If Curry has an off shooting night which is rare he can’t just dish out 11+ assist or get 8+ rebounds, play elite defense or get others involved. It’s too much banking on Steph imo. Being the greatest shooter that’s ever lived everything else just falls to the wayside.

Harden would lap up a team like this. Go for 40 point triple doubles and turn one of Looney/Wiseman into a double/double player every other night.

guys considered similar mvp caliber but can truly carry g leaguers to playoffs: durant, irving, harden, james, kawhi, brook


i get why you threw irving in there but my guy, irving has never led his team to over .500 as the lone alpha and crediting him with the nets playoff appearance is questionable. his pre lebron cavs were a disaster and a sub .500 team, he was traded to a celtics team who was already competing in the playoffs, and then he "lead" the nets to a 35-37 record for the nets in 2019-2020 for a playoff appearance but also only played 20 games that season and won 8 of them.

21 seconds left on the shot clock and hes being defended like hes an actual GOD. Love it.

I wonder if any other player could lead the league in scoring while being defended like this on the regular...

Ever since Wiseman and Oubre are out, the Warriors are playing like a top 4 team. Guys like JTA and Poole can actually make some shots.
