Warriors management this year acquired Jimmy Butler for peanuts extending their contention cycle for another couple of years. Curry fans should be grateful for GSW management. He's in the Magic Johnson/Tim Duncan tier for strong management. And Curry like those guys, to their credit, did everything they could to maximize their teammates considerable abilities.

Look at Milwaukee or Denver for ATGs stuck with bad management.

its a two man game, and Draymond being the defender. Rest of young guys are not playoff ready and warriors management hold them on for too long and they dont have any values left. These cats without Curry cant score 50 in todays NBA that shows how bad they are offensively.


The only legit critique of Warriors management is blowing the Kuminga/Wiseman picks. They did and it cost them alot. But even with that Curry has had very good supporting casts and Curry fans sound delusional when they claim he didn't.

I will never understand why players keep an eye on the ball and not steph. You're eyes should be on steph at all times.

Seeing curry break free and hit a 3 just feels right. It feels like he’s facing a great injustice right now :lol:

The NBA will. The fans and players won't.

They are programmed that way. They can't help it.

No other player on the planet plays like Curry.

Bro passed out of having Pachekieski sealed under the rim so Jabari Smith could attempt a wild floater.

Between the Rockets and Kuminga these games should be scored by the Barnum & Bailey music.

Would you trade Curry's supporting cast for Giannis or Jokic's supporting cast?
