Stephen Curry has been totally exposed

Because Curry playing by himself can be allowed to go off as long as nobody can beat you. And if he's playing with lesser scorers you can defend them and let Curry get his.

When he is playing with equally talented scorers then single covering him becomes a challenge because the others get enough points to make Curry going off unbeatable.

It is really just defensive strategy.

Not quite. If you leave Curry to get his he might beat you on his own, hence the triple teams which are still not stopping him.

Take your weak ass takes elsewhere, go join a G league forum.

I believe that’s a personal attack. Have you read the forum rules? Brush up.

Back door moderating is also against the rules afaik. He also criticised your takes.

To be fair this is what happens when you judge a player based on mainly speculation. Curry definitely wasn't looking too good early on this season, but with a career-high of 62 points and solid performance, he's easily still a legend. He's definitely not perfect, being a bit of a showboat, but in no way is he getting full-on exposed.

The way teams defend Curry is just crazy. I don’t think I have ever seen someone draw so many double teams when he doesn’t even have the ball in his hands as often as Curry. There are NBA teams that are literally playing a box and 1 defense whenever Curry is in to try to stop him.

GSW would have a worse record than Minny right now if Curry wasn't playing.

This man steph out here dropping 40 points a night while getting triple teamed and having no centers on his team.

If you cant respect this, you dont know anything about sports.

You legit cannot stop this guy. Triple teams arent working anymore. Quadruple teams might?

Hes the most dangerous offensive player in NBA history. And it isnt close. NOBODY has seen this level of defense. NOBODY.

But also the other way around too xD
Such a shame they both were injured last year.

So many doubters on curry after a slow 4 game start last year. He would be just as good as this year and the warriors might've gotten into the bubble with that nbas worst team.

You'd probably be a contender for the first pick now if he sat.

Would you have preferred to take the tanking route this season?

Same story this year, when he’s not surrounded by multiple stars and superstars he can’t elevate his game and the teammates around him and win against a healthy opponent. I would bet he will try to use injury to shut it down this year too.

His legacy has taken a brutal hit the last year and counting. He’s more a system player than a superstar .

You and all 35 who agreed with you
