I seriously think he resigns with Golden State after teams don't max him.

He does that often to protect his legs so he doesn’t stick an awkward landing and put too much strain on those balky ankles trying to remain upright

Disagree. Curry makes everyone seem like a great player because he sucks all defenders too him. It’s pregame shoot around with him on your team.


i agree with you. curry is the best player overall in the nba. people just dont seem to appreaciate him because he is not a forward like others and maybe they think curry is a one dimensional player, not an all around player.



Curry is an all time great. A game like this shows how amazing Lebron was and likely still is. and what his task was like many years.

Curry is doing everything he can tonight. The announcers act like he’s so out manned playing against a Raptors team that, by finals standards, is average or below average historically.

You’d still rather have
Draymond
Cousins
Livingston
Iggy

On your depleted team over

Love
TT
JR
George Hill



And Lebron had to run that garbage up against a fully healthy Warriors team. He put up 51,8,8 in that JR game just a year ago.

So Curry is amazing, but he has a better supporting cast even tonight, and against a good team, but nothing like the last two warriors champs. This is the unique time he gets to feel what it’s like to be surrounded with one other all star and sole role players like most superstars, and regardless of what you do, have it not be enough.

You new to sports?


Matchups don’t matter if you can’t get by the team in front of you. It’s not hard to understand.


And how is that relevant to a discussion of theoretical matchups?


How is a theoretical discussion of how milwaukee
Or philly matches up against golden state relevant to the nba finals thread, when neither could make the nba finals?

They should really just use him as a spot up shooter right now. One more scoring option and the warriors could break it open

Its because he doesnt have quickness off the dribble like other great ISO players. Kawhi moves at glacial speed off the dribble. He cant play off the dribble basketball or else the Raps will lose 3 straight.

Kawhi is just a pawn in the world of Curry
