Curry is not human. unreal.

Curry probably sold his soul to the devil for that shooting ability... 70% of his shots are circus 3pt shots... that hits nothing but net.

Still a crazy game.

CHEF CURRY COOKS UP THE BUZZERBEATER DAGGER. SETS THE RECORD FOR MOST THREE POINTERS IN A SEASON AND A GAME

Well I think he tied the record for game 3s, but it seriously almost seems unfair when he can just pull up from like 30+ ft and hit a 3 at any given time. OKC played awesome. Feel a little bad for them.

Thunder should tank the rest of the season.

Not close. Booker, Len and Archie all contributed nicely.

I know I have the Suns on the laptop and had the other game on the big screen and every time I looked at the Suns game, I felt the same.

I turned off the OKC GSW game early in the fourth after OKC made that run. Thought for sure GSW was gonna lose. I cant believe i missed that. Ill just catch it at the replay i guess.

These old guys need to stfu about the warriors and curry. Curry is an all time great in any era.

Suns related: Len is having a nice game, clearly better this year than last IMO

Teams still defending Curry traditionally... you cannot guard a player from shooting 3pt shots when its from 25-30 feet away.
I would probably double him and let someone like Bogut or Green to try to score 40 a game instead.

Just lose baby.

Seriously, we really need to keep losing. Where is Weems?

I'd literally faceguard him full court. Assign his defender to do that as his full-time job. Sub frequently so they don't get gassed. Play with 4 on offense.

The thing is everyone acts like that final shot was undefendable. It wasn't. With what he's done this year how do you not pick him up inside of half court?

Double double for lex

Im okay with winning this game as long as BKN also wins. I dont wanna see the us break the losing streak record, no matter how much the team deserves that honor, we dont.

Also, would be really nice to finally beat Memphis. It's been what, 5 years?

Curry, Kerr and the Warriors system are shaking the foundation of the game of basketball... where 3pters are worth 3pters because they are unlikely to hit and are furthest away from the ring... but this team is constructed to simply exploit the lack of defensive tactic on shooters shooting 25+ footer shots at a high volume and as a "normal" shot... as some commentators said... most of Curry's shots are "bad" shots for anyone else, coaches will yank players out for those crazy shots... but Curry has mastered it... just like MJ mastered the mid range..but Curry's shots are worth 3.... 33% more than a 2 pter obviously.

The Warriors game style of ball rotation is beautiful, but their uncanny shooting tactic and exploits are unheard of and has broken the game that.. those shots have primitive defensive strategies to contain it.

20 years from now, its not far fetch that it'll just be 5 sharp shooters on the court trading 3pt shots...... might as call it "3-ball" and branch it off away from "basketball", where points are scored at a variety of ways.

The "old" guys are making the comments because they see Warriors dominate via a strategy that they grew up being taught to be circus ball... like I said, players pulling up 30 footers and fade away 3s at a high volume will be yanked out and will be scolded by coaches.

Time to meltdown. Brooklyn might not win.

In Aussie rules, they call that defender a "tagger".

Basically, follows the player like white on rice defensively and offensively... get under his skin both sides... make sure to always NOT switch on screens though.. or get a smallish big man who has high speed and quickness to switch..

And of course it would be the worst time to beat them in all of those times. I still have visions in my head of earlier in the season, while tied, with like 2 seconds left, when we had the inbound, Knight fumbling it out of bounds, and them throwing an inbound to Jeff Green for the dunk and win.
