Warriors without Steph Curry

[joeyAdaMan]

Lmao gtfo with that janky outdated argument kid.

Curry takes on all the defensive attention while still putting up MVP level numbers yet Iggy/KD get all the glory....some people clearly see what they want to see...that's if they even watched those finals series

KD lead the league in scoring multiple times while playing with a complete ballhog, but yeah he needs Curry's spacing to score

Regular season scoring...where was his scoring in 16' when his team was up 3-1 and needed him to close the Warriors out?

Oh KD can score. And efficiently. He just doesn't have the ability to turn into GOKU and turnstile the opposing team. That's what Curry does. That's why they're a GOAT team. They are just a much, much less imposing team without the Curry factor.

I missed it, how many Final MVPs does he have?

You're right, KD has as many Final MVPs as Iggy...and for similar reasons. (E.g., both were left open to allow Curry double-teams.)

I guess Iggy and KD are equal then? Who knew?

Watch on YouTube

B-b-but gravity!

Called being the best player on the biggest stage

Oh my gosh, Durant hit a big shot. He's, like, up there now with Iggy, with Fisher, and even with Horry. Must be nice to be able to spend most of the game in single coverage while your teammate is double-teamed (sometimes beginning at the half-court mark)? As Iggy, Horry and Fisher also found, being the sidekick does allow one to be more efficient on offense, as well as to be rested and ready for that big shot.

KD physically is in a league of his own at almost 7ft w/ his handles, mobility, and shooting touch...but he's not going to elevate a team or make lesser players look better like a Lebron or Curry can...doesn't have the floor vision or playmaking ability of Lebron and isn't in Curry's league as an off-ball player....GOAT level ISO scorer tho

KD was dropping 30 on prime LBJ in 2012, doesn't need Steph to score at all. With Steph he can focus more on the defensive end making him more elite.

And you really want to bring up 3-1 when talking about KD vs Steph???

1. Steph gets doubled teamed off of screens because he struggles scoring 1 on 1. KD doesn't have such a problem. It's not like Steph's Shaq demanding double teams as soon as he catches the ball.
2. KD needing Steph to be an elite scorer is an absolutely insane take.
3. People are overrating Steph's gravity over a couple of plays in the finals like the play where JR Smith runs away from KD not because he's afraid of Steph getting a shot off, but because he's afraid of KD.

Looking at their game logs, and the Warriors have won 23 straight games in which Curry played but KD was out. Someone can double check if they want, I may have missed something. But if I'm right that's just ridiculous.

Um...Steph is nothing but a 3pt shooter!(am I doing it right?)

Cool keep it in your sig

Maybe if you watched games instead of highlights you'd know that Steph rarely tries to take guys off the dribble unless he has a mismatch.

You do understand you wrote that teams double-team Curry because he struggles scoring 1 on 1, yes? So, your position is that these opposing teams are double-teaming Curry to, um, help him out?

One of them. I'm sure there are more.....

16-13 without Curry on the year after the loss to the Pelicans in Oakland tonight.

That's a .552 wining percentage which equates to 45 wins (45-37) over an 82-game season.

This is the first time in 4 years the Warriors will not win at least 60 games in the regular season.

Its going to be the first time in 20 years the Spurs do not win 50 games. All things come to an end.

Winning 50 games every year is hard...very hard...this is still one of the greatest four year runs ever by a franchise. I think what happens is the mental side is harder to maintain than the physical side. Even with all the teams trying to rest players, keep them fresh and all that, the mental side with fan expectations being so high it is hard to maintain year after year.

It is why winning back to back championships is so impressive...it is why winning three in a row is damn near impossible and no one has won four titles in a row. Individual stats are easier to achieve than team stats because you only have to worry about what you do. Getting an entire team motivated for years is damn near impossible......

No, I'm saying GS runs more screens for Steph because he can't consistently get you baskets out of isolation. Because of the need for screens being set, they're bringing a defender with them that makes it easier to send the double team. Steph being double teamed is due to his own weakness and shouldn't be used to tear down KD, that was the point.

[Shock Defeat]

I could easily see GSW losing in the 1st round at this rate.

Eh it depends on the opponent I guess. I still see GS beating most teams they could possibly play in round one without him they only team I’m thinking that has a shot in that range would be OKC and even then I’m not to sure. I need to see them be fully engaged because I think when they are on they can beat anyone but they aren’t on nearly as much as I’d like to see. It also wouldn’t surprise me if GS took care of them in 5/6 with somewhat ease.

[1993Playoffs]

The gap on offense between KD and Steph is pretty glaring to be honest , you can't just look at the stats, you gotta see both of them play to see the difference

I've been reading this post for the last 15 minutes and still haven't manage to understand what the **** you're trying to say.
