Yep, it's correct.

I'd take issue with the fact that it excludes shots to tie the game.

If you include shots to tie the game - Lebron was 21-42 and Curry was 4-22 after today's game.

I thought it was something like 3/13, but I might be remembering wrong. 50 seconds is quite specific though. Maybe he has a few when you change it to under 60 seconds

Btw looking at on/off data, Lakers ORTG when LeBron was on the court in the regular season was so good it would have been 2nd in the NBA behind only the Kings. Kinda crazy given how ugly their offense looks. I was very surprised as I don't think I've liked the looks of a LeBron offense since he left Cleveland in 2018. Maybe I was ok with Walton's offense I can't really remember.

Small sample size and some of those are undoubtedly last second shots which are very often misses.

No one's expecting him to hit them all. More like just be in the general vicinity of the guy you're being compared to lmao

What I don't get is how LeBron is so bad at these shots in the regular season when he's the best ever at them in the playoffs.

He's somehow an average low stakes pressure guy for an all time great that seemingly manages to lock in during the ones that count more. Did anyone expect him to go 4/4 from the line at the end? :rofl:

Not fully lol, but I do trust him more than AD at the end of the game shooting those

Also has been hitting his fts pretty well overall since coming back from the injury

He's been much better on FTs the last two seasons tbh. Back to around what he shot during his peak seasons.

Looks like he still isn't the same guy on offense pre the injurt, but he is also giving a lot more energy on defense and Memphis and GS are two very good defenses (GS is when its the playoffs and time to lock in at least and now got Wiggins back and GP2 back)

If we advance, lets see how he looks vs the Nuggets or Suns

Great point about those 2 returning. Takes these Warriors to another level defensively. Just not looking forward to watching LeBron get locked up by Aaron Gordon next lmao

Anyone comparing Curry and LeBron shouldn't really be taken serious.

Some extreme meltdowns going on right now

It's amazing. The fact that Steph fans are acting like this for the first time that he ever had to be in LeBron's position in their matchups shows he's not the top 5 guy his fans think he is. He's more like a top 15 guy whose career turned out so well he has an argument for top 10.

Our offense looks ugly at times because brons not been the best halfcourt but from a system perspective the Lakers offense is the best it’s been by far

Comparing the luke Walton offense is CRIMINAL.

Hams a good offensive coach for the most part, that’s why AD is having the best offensive season despite clearly being like 70-80% of his early season self, and he’s done a good job getting bron in the move or us running things to beat help

I don't agree with that. Steph is phenomenal and there haven't been 10 better players by any means.

, so
0/14????

https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/13c23es/in_his_playoff_career_stephen_curry_has_shot_010/

This reddit post shows him as being 0/10 on go-ahead shots in the final 0:45 of playoff games with a stathead source: https://stathead.com/basketball/shot_finder.cgi?request=1&match=play&order_by=fg&player_id_hint=Stephen+Curry&player_id_select=Stephen+Curry&player_id=curryst01&year_max=2022&is_playoffs=Y&shot_distance_min=0&minutes_max=0&seconds_max=45&minutes_min=0&seconds_min=0&is_go_ahead=1&game_num_min=0&game_num_max=99

Was before today when he added 2 more to the tally, so he's at 0/12 now in the final 0:45. So 0/14 in the final 0:50 sounds believable

I don’t like Vando in this series personally, he clogs up the offense and defensively he’s not good enough vs ball screens

Rui is good if he isn’t chasing klay, but the three guard lineups are key here
