Curry is just so much better to build the team around. Jordan, Magic are the only guards that are easier to build for championships. Curry/Dwade/Kobe are in the same tier and Westbrook's efficiency and heavy USG is limiting what the ceiling of the team can reach.


Lmao, currry is not in the same tier as wade and Kobe in their prime. We saw that in the finals. Hes completely useless when his shooting is off.


Agreed. I would even pick Derek Fisher over Curry. At least Fisher contributed more in the Finals and has more rings.

Such a weird night in Indiana, Gobert had 8blks and Hayward had 38pts, both career highs, and P.George had a bad shooting night (6/20 FGs), and the Pacers still won.

At least he led the team to win a ring with a role player and a pure shooter.

I think my IQ just dropped. How many all stars did he have when they won their ring? All the stats prove that the guy is amazing to build the team around. Leads in hockey assists by far, can play on and off the ball, screens a ton for players off the ball and is unselfish despite being the GOAT shooter.

Do you have anything else to complain about?

All-Stars that every other team could have had. Klay and Dray were drafted 11th and 35th.

3 All Stars? You mean like Magic, Kareem and Worthy? Or Bird, McHale, Parrish?

Yeah on second thought, you're right. Curry is a scrub and he's only relevant because these players who nobody else wanted are so good.

This is totally UNACCEPTABLE.

The Thunder need to wake the F up and realize that;

James Harden is not going to walk through that door.

Kevin Durant is not going to walk through that door.

Serge Ibaka is not going to walk through that door.

The Seattle Sonics are not going to walk through that door.

It's when those shots were made.
Utah was hanging in there until that dagger shot by PG. Had he missed, would have been an entirely different ballgame.

Harden's on Houston.

Durant's on crutches so he's not walking anywhere.

Ibaka's like 40 years old so he's barely walking on those knees.

Seattle isn't really involved at all here.

what are the chances that westbrook leaves OKC to join a contender like Spurs/Rockets in 2018?
He might want to win something one day without having to die every night or does he want to chase tripul struggles his entire career?
