do you think he is better now than 2015-2019?

Definitely is for me. Big Steph guys have always hyped up his defense, but this is the first postseason run where I genuinely feel like it's warranted. He's not Jrue Holiday or anything, but he's certainly good now. And then offensively, he's creating so much on and off the ball for a supporting cast that's not overly impressive offensively.

I feel like he's been better than Al in his minutes this game but idk. Bostons refusal to go completely small is interesting.


Them playing the two bigs do help their offensive rebounding though. But asking Robert Williams to chase Curry that far from the rim is just too much. Horford has a better gas tank is better laterally.

Honestly don't get why people are questioning Boston staying big. They are killing the warriors on the boards tonight.

steph gets a little 3 minute rest at the end of the 3rd quarter and the warriors maintain a 0 point differential in that span thanks to klay. always nice to be able to get away with resting your star

I don't know if I've ever seen a good passing team that commits as many dumb turnovers as the Warriors.

Rob Williams has been so good this game. Just what Boston has needed, rebounding presence and hands on defense.

3 bad turnovers in a row by Steph hurting an otherwise great night. Can't be that careless this late in the game.

going big still works is the lesson the last...4 seasons? have proven

rebounding and size but with the ability to go small for spurts is the new meta in the nba

Need Mobley to develop offensively so my Cavs can cement this. 8-)

i unironically think 2 big lineups are the future

paradoxically the best way to deal with your centers being taken to the perimeter is having another center who can protect the paint for you so you only have to worry about your center defending the 3

Kevon Looney would be better than Draymond right now tbh.

Crazy that Dray once put up 32/15/9 in a Game 7 of the Finals. If only he just had a respectable three once again.

To be honest, I think the average height per position won't change in the future much. It has been steady since the late 1950s, give or take one inch on average.

Draymond Green is abysmal.

He's more focused on his podcasts than playing well.
