Stephen Curry has been totally exposed (Part II)

[Asianiac_24]

The Warriors don't play in the East, so why keep referencing what their position would be if they were in the East and if they never played any games without Curry? 7th in the West still puts them in the play-in round just like they are right now. Curry has played with all-stars and deep benches for years now. This is finally his chance to carry a bad roster. Can he make the playoffs? We'll find out soon.

what more do you think he should be doing exactly at this point?

Make the playoffs. I mean, tonight they had a very winnable game against a bad Washington team and he went 7-25 from the field and 2-14 from 3. Everyone has bad games of course, but you can't afford very many of those when you're fighting for your playoff lives. Their schedule is pretty easy from here on out. They play the Pelicans 3 times, the Thunder twice, as well as the Kings, Rockets, and Timberwolves. They also have a game against the Grizzlies. With 13 games left, they only have three hard games left - Denver, Utah, and Phoenix. The other 10 are all very winnable. Plenty of chances to move up the standings and make the play-in round easier for themselves.

He had a bad game today. What about the previous 10 or so games where he’s averaging close to 40 on 50/40/90?

[Metallikid]

Westy clearly showed he is a better player than curry. 20 rebounds

That's more rebounds than Curry gets in a week. Brodie is back. You cant out-stat him.

[JN61]

Have you seen many guys with 54 3s in 5 games while being double teamed?

Nope. But that doesn't really change the fact that his team has a losing record and is currently the 9 seed. What's the reaction if his team loses in the play-in and doesn't make the playoffs? If it's not the same as when other great players have missed the playoffs, why not?

If they miss the playoffs, it won't be because he didn't perform at the highest level. I don't know how can anyone debate this.

Issue with Curry is his impact on the game is minimal outside of his shooting, which granted is the greatest of all time. Last night was perfect example of it. Outside of him and Wiggins they were shooting on an elite level from 3 last night. He managed to get all his assists on hot 3 point shots and few pass out of double team to wide open layup by Draymond (because Wizards are incompetent defensive team). No assists since early 3rd if I remember right, which was one of reasons down the stretch why they lost. No easy shots. I don't know if it is Curry fearing the moment but he also didn't even try to get to the ball on the last possession but just accepted his fate of Westbrook shutting him down defensively which was very weird.

If he had elite playmaking ability like Paul, LeBron or Westbrook his ability to rise the roof would be immense. But now we see them struggling to make the play in tournament and recent improved team record is mostly down to Curry having all time hot streak of games, otherwise they haven't been so good and lacked someone to create easy shots and layups for them, especially when Green sits.

i bet you guys just check the box scores every game to see if you can come post in this thread huh

Says the people that celebrate good box scores, lol

Says you? lol.

LeBron is arguably the GOAT, but seeing a LeBron fan who often trolls with poor takes on other players (specific player for specific reasons, I wonder why?) call someone else out for “celebrating box scores” is hilarious.

And I still don't know or care who u are or root for. It's still weird that you all 'take names' of anyone not praising curry

Why is this always your first defense mechanism? You spend more time crapping on Curry-- often with poor reasoning-- than doing anything else here, and you find it surprising that people remember it and call you out on it?

When someone on a board like this beats a dead horse over and over again, people tend to remember. When another person tends to post lengthy, logically driven arguments, again, people remember. When someone is consistently a huge homer or super emotional, again...you get the point.

Maybe the fact that you're called out so often for the same thing is an indicator that your content is lacking in some areas? Food for thought.

[Bergmaniac]

Of all the threads to resurrect you chose this one...

[Ambrose]

As someone who was "down on Curry" allow me to say that most are aware and acknowledge how special Steph has been this season. The few who aren't just post about it the most. He's having an all time season and like LBJ in 19, you can see what the team is without him...it's not pretty.

Honestly, because its weird and creepy to me. Its like yall think internet cred matters. Just a crazy concept. Its never personal for me but yall absolutely take criticism to Steph and acouple others personally. Thats some wack isht bro

[dhsilv2]

Wiggins, Green, Oubre, Wiseman, Looney, Bazemore, Poole Still considered G-Leaguers Though?

Stats show that Wiseman might be the worst guy to get meaningful minutes in the nba in the last 30 years. So he might literally have been playing with the worst key player as far back as we have impact data. 538 shows the warriors like 70 points better in ELO thanks to him being injured.

I don’t take anything personally, man. lol.

I peruse this board pretty much daily here and there, and in that process I notice certain trends with certain posters. I’m pretty sure that’s the case with most people.

I fail to see how that’s “creepy.” On the contrary, if you’re posting here daily and you haven’t ever noticed certain trends with different posters, I would say that’s being especially unobservant.

theyll blame his teammates despite luka having worse

lol seems like this thread is required.
Brunson, Porzingis better than anyone on the warriors. Tim Hardaway Jr would be the second best offensive player on the warriors

[Onus]

You realize Wiggins missed a relatively easy layup to tie the game in the last 10 seconds?

You don't think he has elite playmaking ability because he doesn't get assists...this is really being written in 2021? The guy comes of a screen, draws 2 defenders and sets up a teammate for a wide open shot so many times a game it can't be missed. Off ball impact is more valuable and scalable than on ball impact.

[Asianiac_24]

Just because Curry doesn't hog the ball like Westbrook and average a ton of assists doesn't mean his playmaking ability isn't elite. That is literally the dumbest argument I've ever heard. Watch any Warriors game and count just how many free runs to the rim Draymond has from playing p&r with Curry. Count how many easy shots they get simply from Curry's gravity. Curry doesn't dominate the ball like other PGs and its his biggest strength as an offensive player. The eye test and impact stats both support this argument.

Wiggins and Oubre are bums

[Peregrine01]

How can you be the offensive engine for one of the greatest offensive dynasties of the modern era and have "minimal impact"? I don't think the people saying these things actually think about what they're saying.

I've come around to the thinking that there aren't really haters in this world, there's just dumb people.

um who is more likely to make the hall of fame, draymond or porzingis? the disrespect to draymond is unreal here. jalen brunson?? he has his moments but so does wiggins. you cannot honestly tell me there is a huge gap between brunson and wiggins.

i will concede dallas has the much better coach

Deep down, we all know Curry is a product of circumstances.
