The Stephen Curry Thread (2015-16 Pt. 1)

[mischievous]

Say Curry finishes the season with 28 and 7 with 67% TS, GS beats the Bulls record and wins the title and Curry gets FMVP. Top 10 peak of all-time? Top 5?

Possibly top 10 peak, but I think top 5 is unrealistic. MJ Shaq Lebron Wilt and Hakeem. All those guys were elite defenders at their peaks, Curry's defense is merely above average.

Some interesting comparisons on Curry's current scoring binge last 15 years:

red is the lowest and blue is the highest

[RSCD3_]

45.7 PTS/100 on only 68.7 TS%
ORTG dropped to 127, 7.7 AP100 on 2.67 AST/TOV PCT RATIO

His AST/100 is at the lowest since his rookie year, the way he's being played is taking away his assists and giving them to green

Who is averaging 10.1 AST/100. He's got 4.89 assists/bad pass. ( 78/16 )

Griffin is averaging 6.2 AST/100. He's got 8.6 Assists/bad pass (43/5)

What's amazing about Curry is that he's such a great player mainly because of his skill level. His shooting, passing, ball-handling skills, are all absolutely top-notch. Athletically, while pretty good, he's nowhere near guys like Jordan, LeBron, Westbrook. He's far from an all-time great NBA athlete, but he's one of the best basketball players. Pretty much like Larry Bird.

This is cool, but I'm trying to understand what the criteria here is. From what I can tell, there is none, there's no game limit (Curry's stretch is 10 G, Durant's is 26 G) or scoring threshold or anything.

Some more stretches from just the past few seasons:

Durant

35/6/5 on 67% TS, 10 G, 1/11/13 - 1/27/13
38/6/6 on 67% TS, 13 G, 1/4/14 - 1/27/14

Lebron

34/8/8 on 66% TS, 12 G, 12/30/09 - 1/23/10
30/8/8 on 73% TS, 12 G, 2/3/13 - 2/26/13
37/8/5 on 71% TS, 7 G, 2/11/14 - 3/3/14

Wade

38/6/10 on 65% TS, 11 G, 2/22/09 - 3/14/09

Curry needs to cut down TOs, instead of 7 TOs he could have launched 7 more threes. Just think about that. Being the most lethal weapon on the court, he needs to pull the trigger more. I am all in for Curry having 30+ FGA per game

[bballexpert]

Man Curry having to carry the offense man 37/2/9 another mvp coming his way man this season really going raise his rating. I really looking forward to this ps i hope warriors do well but i still hoping for spurs to win love Duncan go out on high note.

[Jim Naismith]

Good stat line marred by 7 turnovers.

Looks like the writer just picked some random streaks ...

By the way, anyone keeping track of the player tracking box scores? Feel like they are a little sloppy with it.

[bballexpert]

man Curry obpm 13.1 i am not sure how many have done that but that is **** nuts man also that 34.9 per up there as well. 34/5/6 with some steals pretty nuts in the time frame he is doing it guys changing the way the game is played right now.

That fact that he has the highest raw FG% given the shots he takes is just mind boggling.

[RSCD3_]

Damn after all that they came back from down 23 and curry managed to outplay Paul.

Even when they were down 17 in the third quarter I could feel the moment slowly favor them lol

[cpower]

Curry's 4th 40 point game in 13 games. Curry showed a lot of heart tonight, if he can cut down his TOs...man!

[SideshowBob]

His eFG% dropped to 64.0% after tonight. Dropped.

That's the highest for any player ever over 25 PTS/G.

[Clyde Frazier]

The 15-16 warriors make you think no lead is safe. I was fairly confident that they'd come back tonight after tuning in late 2nd quarter. Pretty absurd.

Wow. And only 6 such games as well, whereas according to that stat, the average of the other 29 teams is ~17 such games.

60-9 now needed to hit the 73 wins mark; they'd have to win 87% of their remaining games.
