You can only do so much when you are constantly sharing the floor with Green, Looney, Livingston, McKinnie ... none of these guys can shoot. They dusted off the box and 1 again this game because they aren't afraid of anyone but Curry. Imagine what would happen if GS tried that on Leonard? Wide open 3's for the other 4 guys on the floor with Leonard who can all shoot.

Context matters.


Evaluating individual impact is difficult, but I'll never understand how people can't make these distinctions.

Steve Kerrs game plan:

-set a bunch of double teams
-don't set picks for Curry
-watch DeMarcus Cousins suck

KD couldn't do it either. That's why he ran for help to the guys that beat him.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

LeBron weakens teammates and conferences.

Heat fan animosity towards LeBron is...fascinating.

In a Mr. Spock kinda way, no opinion either way from me but just, fascinating.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

Still, even within that context this game is an absolute stinker for Curry
