The Stephen Curry Thread (2015-16 Pt. 2)

[NinjaSheppard]

At least this one makes sense.

Klay and Curry shooting you out of a lead>>>>>Brewer and Josh Smith doing it

Dont know what his ORTG was but it's gotta be high

OKC choking at the end after dominating entire game.

They choked for sure but they just got killed by Klay. Was just epic shot making. OKC was like we are better at he just keeps making BS shots. Amazing.

[therealbig3]

Klay was easily the best player on the court, but Curry was definitely 2nd.

That's two great performances (on both ends of the court) with his team's back against the wall. Can we stop with the "Curry is a choker" narrative that's been pushed around here by some people?

[2klegend]

Tonight is another reason why Curry is not GOAT material. Klay was the highlight of the night and basically carry the Warriors. Also claim Curry injure is the biggest fraud in the history of the game.

[MyUniBroDavis]

Outside of game 2 of the rockets where he got hurt midway, he has averaged 6.66 rebounds in roughly 34 minutes (factoring in the Rockets series)

Westbrook is at 6.9 in 36.6 minutes

Obviously Westbrook is the better rebounder but still

Any one who was on that narrative was just being a hater.

The Curry isn't the undisputed GOAT peak narrative. Count me on it. Because he isn't. He's one of the GOAT peaks, but the OMG gravity beats all crew need to look at this series and see that it's not f'n everything.

Thanks for sharing

The Warriors were 21/44 from three

The thunder were 3/23 from three

I still favor the thunder to win the series quite honestly. But this would be a great story though, draymond carries them here, Klay saves them against elimination, and curry does curry things throughout the playoffs (well, bad knee curry things)

There were games where Pippen outplayed Jordan, Wade outplayed LeBron, and Gasol outplayed Kobe.

Curry still had a great game. Klay's performance doesn't take away from that.

I don't think anyone's said that about Curry in a LONG time. Like since the RS.

And I don't think he's even all that close to the conversation of GOAT peak anymore, because I agree, missing that many playoff games definitely eliminates you from the debate.

What games Pip outplayed Jordan?

I have no issue with Curry being a GOAT if he backs it up and not making excuse like his fanboys are doing. When he plays poorly, he is injure. When he plays well, all of sudden, he is back and cocky again. That is a fraud and shouldn't be taken serious for any basketball evaluation.

I don't even know what you're going on about at this point.

As for Pippen, he was never going to score more than Jordan, because Jordan was always going to take the most shots. But there were games where he scored almost as much, was more efficient, and played better defense. So I would say he outplayed him in those games. It happens. That's why they're great 2nd options. Because they can go off and be the best player on the court sometimes.

I don't know. I watched all of Jordan playoff run but I don't remember when Pip carried the team and outplayed Jordan in any major capacity like what Klay did today. Without Klay's hot shooting, the Thunders would have won despite Durant choke in the final 3mins. In fact, these last two games that the Warriors won, it was entirely Klay. Game 5, they made their biggest run when Curry wasn't even in the game. Tonight, Klay was the only keeping them close which allow the Warriors to win. Curry was very much playing the typical star performance but definitely not the GOAT level that we used to seeing from the like of Jordan or even Lebron performance where they look like "god among men" out there.

[deezerweeze]

this dudes supporting cast is so ridiculously awesome. its insane. he hasn't even been the best post-season performer on his own team and they're still going to the finals (probably)

who are you talking about? and who is the best performer on his own team? i am confused

[therealbig3]

2nd elimination game in a row he puts up 31 points, plays good defense, and comes up huge in the 4th quarter. Yup, he's obviously getting carried.

Yea I think Pau was the Win Shares leader for at least one of the Lakers championships. OKC has just done a great job at disrupting Curry's rhythm, yet Curry is still putting up numbers close to his season average.

[thizznation]

Curry's increase in performance as the series goes on is further evidence that his knee was still not feeling right.

[Krodis]

I mean I definitely don't think Curry looked right in Game 4. Him isolating Adams (shortly after Adams twisted his ankle) and failing to get separation, getting his shot blocked really stood out. It just seems like he's been quicker the last two games.
