Stephen Curry has been totally exposed (Part II)

[thebigbird]

Have you seen many guys with 54 3s in 5 games while being double teamed?

Nope. But that doesn't really change the fact that his team has a losing record and is currently the 9 seed. What's the reaction if his team loses in the play-in and doesn't make the playoffs? If it's not the same as when other great players have missed the playoffs, why not?

lol..the Warriors are 28-23 when he plays, good enough for the 4th seed in the East and the 7th seed in the West. he's single handedly taking a team that's won a whopping 14 games without him last season to the PO picture this year.

I must say, it's funny to see Curry fans making the same arguments that LeBron fans were trashed for making two years ago.

[art_tatum]

Westy clearly showed he is a better player than curry. 20 rebounds

[whatisacenter]

Never seen a guy praised so much for being in 9th place in his conference.

well, we don't know what the reaction will be because it hasn't happened yet...I'm sure there will be the regular crowd that will have a massive overreaction tho like tonight, when he has one off game after a scorching stretch of games.

And i must say that i find it silly to try and find ways to trash any ATG(lebron, steph, kd etc) because of personal dislikes.

If they miss the playoffs, it won't be because he didn't perform at the highest level. I don't know how can anyone debate this.

by highest level i mean impact not pretty looking empty stats. if an all time great cant even get 8th seed or playoffs through playins I dont know what to say. this game he had the worst plus minus which proves my point he was a g leaguer and cost the game.

OKC westbrook carried a similarly bad team to playoffs in the same western conf. im being very generous here.

It’s the insanity of Internet message board logic.

“If someone criticizes the player/team I like for stupid reasons, then I’m going to SHOW THEM by criticizing other players/teams for equally ridiculous reasons!!!”

So much time and energy is spent on this fruitless endeavor.

I don’t get it.

[PistolPeteJR]

not really hating on steph but guys who i consider empty stats that cant one man carry to playoffs list

Steph,Lavine, Booker, etc. not a fan.

guys considered similar mvp caliber but can truly carry g leaguers to playoffs: durant, irving, harden, james, kawhi, brook

Lmao

No you're just hating.
The team is 28-24 in the games he has played.
That's a playoff team with him on the court.

You’re being generously ridiculous.

Stop, dude.

Or, don’t and continue to be a board punchline for your takes.

I guess we both change the argument depending on who we're arguing about.

To act like this Warriors team is the same as last year's Warriors team is disingenuous. The top 5 in minutes played for Golden State last year were Eric Paschall, Glenn Robinson, Damion Lee, Alec Burks, and Jordan Poole. This year, the top 5 in minutes played is Andrew Wiggins, Stephen Curry, Kelly Oubre, Draymond Green, and Damion Lee. His team also had the #2 pick in the draft this past year. That's far from the worst group of supporting players that a superstar has played with. I said before the season that my expectation for Steph Curry is making the playoffs if he stays healthy, and I'm sticking to it. He's played in 86.4% of his team's games. "One of the GOATS of this generation" as you described him should be able to make the playoffs. HIs competition for the last playoff spot is a Grizzlies team led by a 21 year old.

except I never made this argument about LeBron back in the 2019, you're the one that switched up, using the same argument you defended LeBron again now using it against Steph for some reason?

My expectation for Steph, as I said, was to make the playoffs if he stayed healthy. Is that not a reasonable expectation? I don't think that it is. The Grizzlies aren't exactly world beaters. They're two games above .500, and about to be one game above .500. If LeBron stayed healthy in 2019 I would've had the same expectation for him too, and going into the season I did have that expectation for him.

and, like I said, with Steph the Warriors are #4 in the East and 7th in the West, without Steph the Warriors are 1-7 this year and won a whopping 14 games last season...the proof is in the pudding, you're ignoring it for pretty obvious reasons.

The Warriors don't play in the East, so why keep referencing what their position would be if they were in the East and if they never played any games without Curry? 7th in the West still puts them in the play-in round just like they are right now. Curry has played with all-stars and deep benches for years now. This is finally his chance to carry a bad roster. Can he make the playoffs? We'll find out soon.

Make the playoffs. I mean, tonight they had a very winnable game against a bad Washington team and he went 7-25 from the field and 2-14 from 3. Everyone has bad games of course, but you can't afford very many of those when you're fighting for your playoff lives. Their schedule is pretty easy from here on out. They play the Pelicans 3 times, the Thunder twice, as well as the Kings, Rockets, and Timberwolves. They also have a game against the Grizzlies. With 13 games left, they only have three hard games left - Denver, Utah, and Phoenix. The other 10 are all very winnable. Plenty of chances to move up the standings and make the play-in round easier for themselves.

Its hilarious that these clowns havent said anything for about a month and now all of sudden Steph has one bad game where he missed a bunch of open shots and they are showing their faces again.

When the nitpicking and scrutiny reach this level, it just means that the player in question is universally recognized as an all time great.
