Stephen Curry has been totally exposed (Part II)

[michaelm]

He is not playing MVP level.. if he played like end of the last year, hell bend, there would be no questions about who is the MVP now. But most people don't have him as one of very top candidates as of now. Many have him right now after Durant, Giannis and Jokic.

Let us see how GSW and Curry go in the next game against Denver. They were motivated to beat Memphis and Phoenix short handed but no team can be up for every game particularly when short handed. It is probably more of a worry for the rest of the NBA that they could get so close to winning against Denver/Jokic when they bestirred themselves after a lackadaisical/terrible entire first half which left them 24 points down at one stage.

Every team is down players. Denver was down 3 starts for crying out loud lol.

Stop making excuses, that was an embarrassing performance by GSW from top to bottom (looking at you Kerr and Curry). They were down 24 on their home floor to bunch of G-leaguers plus Jokic.

This team has been showing up for one game and then a complete let down the next for a whole month now.

As has been said it was a regular season game, and they still have the best record in the NBA.

I agree but the letdowns are frustrating. A win against a good team means nothing if you just give it away the next game.

This team has an issue of feeling themselves too much after a win right now.

Mmmm....yea, this is just way off, all credibility lost in this convo

I saw him get subbed out defensively in the clutch when foul trouble wasnt an issue. Ive never seen that before for a player of
"his caliber" on any level.
They still assign him to the worst scorer of positions 1-3 and maybe even the 4 man if he sucks enough. Thats not exactly a bad thing because its the formula the bulls used. Hell, seen lebron teams do it too but i cant remember the game plan being to go at Bron or MJ. But yes, he is a defensive liability if you dont have a weak man on offense, so no credibility was lost on that post.

You're so funny. Somehow you've convinced yourself that if you bring lebron into any discussion with Curry, maybe people will take you to be more reasonable and serious in your takes. Nope, still whack takes as usual.

What Lebron got to do with anything here? Most stars take the opposing teams weakest player.

Anyways, regardless of your delusions, all metrics paint Steph as a positive and elite defender this year. Have fun kicking and screaming though.

Putting in a better defender in his place doesn't mean hes automatically a liability on that end. Its called strategy, coaching and matchups. Its possible to have a better defending guard on the roster...I know, shocking. I wonder how warriors managed to keep the Nuggets to 29 second half points with that defensive sieve getting 39 mins on the court and no DPOYMOND.

This is some HIGH level analysis from you buddy. More like the usual herpa derp stuff.

I dont know a soul here. I find it rather weird to keep up with anyone to the extent you dudes do. Its creepy af.

I posted my opinion as most do. Thats pretty much it. All the weird psychoanalysis from another male? Bruh, move on

And I posted my opinion as well

I'm sorry that you think calling your opinion out is some sort of psychoanalysis.

Also, many people here have the capability of thinking deep and deeper, you should try it sometimes. Seems like you are just stuck sliding all over the surface my guy.

[Dubnation]

To be real, you arent wrong. Not showing up in big games consistently is probably the biggest knock on him as a player, and will continue to follow him as long as he continues to put up games like he just had vs the Suns.

I agree but wow surprised that this is coming from you.

Fans are exempt from disappointment? He's just calling a Spade a spade, its been a narrative against him, even if it isn't entirely true. He is doing himself no favors with such games.

Exactly. If anything, most of us non-casual fans aren't fooling ourselves.

Curry is not having a good season. He’ll have 1 game out of 5 where he’ll go off for 40 but his shooting has not been particularly good, he continues to be a liability defensively and cannot carry his team the way that other superstars can. Embiid, Jokic, Giannis, Durant, DDR and CP3 are all ahead of him in the MVP race. I give the GS role players alot of credit for overachieving and getting them to the best record, but what Curry just produced is indicative of his season.

If either of you define the word liability, then determine whether your conclusions make sense or not, then I'll spend time with more of a response. If not, then you guys are just wasting people's time with unproductive discussion.

Please, its much easier to just throw out words and hope they stick, than using words that actually make sense and are comprehensible.

Kudos to you, the fact that you are even willing to engage in an "actual" discussion with these guys, says a lot about your patience. I'd say don't bother though.

Chucker Curry trying to add to his 3 point record. What he go 5-14 in 3’s. Currmelo!

[Warriorfan]

Curry is playing MVP level has room for improvement but a healthy Thompson makes his life easier.

He is not playing MVP level.. if he played like end of the last year, hell bend, there would be no questions about who is the MVP now. But most people don't have him as one of very top candidates as of now. Many have him right now after Durant, Giannis and Jokic.

That's because they have an agenda and fall in love with the Warriors record.
Doe Curry create amazing gravity and is he guarded like no other in the league...yes!

But he's not been playing well. Warriorfan, we watch it every game....we know he's been bad with sloppy turnovers...we know he's shooting the lowest 3 point percentage of his career (or damn near close)...his scoring average is high but is falling.

He flat out has not played well. I hope he get's the MVP, but just because talking heads fall in line doesn't mean they are right.

People who are paid for their opinion is very convenient big market and popular players are hyped for such awards. Did you even follow last year's race? Guys like Nick Wrong grinding their teeth in tears screaming how Jokic is not worthy of MVP because he is not all time great player... Media hates when non American or not popular player/(or teams in playoffs) is clearly ahead of the rest on these things.

How is this thread still a thing? Exposed? As what, an all-time great?

I don’t even like him(the smug vibes), but come on….

It's still a thing because every time GS loses the Curry-haters bring it back and crow about it.

[Warriors2022]

Curry exposed, Draymond washed, Wiggins overrated, rest of Dubs are a bunch of G leaguers. Somehow, they are the number 1 team in NBA. Weird.

[Bum Adebayo]

Curry is and always has been better than Jokic, that's for sure.

Yep, all the haters have left is to bring up the occasional bad game. Talk about clutching at straws.

You don’t even see many curry lovers defending him in here because it’s such a laughable thread at this point.

[Bluewaterheaven]

I wonder if Curry tastes like Curry

[Blazingstorm]

Not exposed but way too streaky.

[art_tatum]

Warriors are pretenders without a 80% klay

[G35]

This is impressive what he is doing, the real test will be in the playoffs but right now he has his team as the favorite to win it all. I don't really see any of the other teams being a threat. Then if Klay can come back and give them anything, it is just gravy from here on out.

This is why I don't see how people are more impressed with Lebron's all around game, when "specialist" stars seem to be able to create teams with a higher ceiling......
