too bad he couldn't make that 10th three to add that to his collection of 10 plus threes games.

Just admit you were wrong on Curry for the entire time and don't be stubborn.

Lol you got this one bro. Under the old format without play in tournament He carried his team to the playoffs. That’s all I wanted to see. He did his thing, not gonna hate.

Just enjoy the show and appreciate greatness. It's gotta be a lot more fun to root for him than against him.

I'm impressed. I didn't think Warriors will make a playoffs without Thompson. 39-33 is a solid record and it's 8th seed. Even if they somehow lose two games in Play-in tournament, Curry has done his job. I think Warriors will lose to the Lakers and then win again vs Grizzlies and will be 8th seed.

Best pg of all time, all the doubt around him constantly shows how dumb this board really is.

The Warriors were 1-7 without him this year. Can someone post the teams they lost against when he didn’t play?

Hornets, Suns, Grizzlies, Sixers, Kings, Hawks, and Raptors (by 53 points).

Interesting, 5/7 of those are extremely winnable. Warriors have zero offense when Curry sits, and I don't believe poole had even come on yet during this stretch, so I can see why they lost them all

They could’ve possibly been a 6th or 7th seed if he didn’t miss those games.

4 or 5 of those games was winnable. I know you’re referring to the Suns and Sixers as losses. The Hawks is debatable too if they could beat them but yea they could’ve been a higher seed

Only guy who can guard Curry is Wiseman. GSW 14-5 since Wiseman went down. They did have a soft schedule over that stretch but had good wins over 76s, Nuggets, Jazz, and Suns.

Excited to see what Curry will do in the Playoffs with this Warriors team (not a Jinx).

If I'm in the West, I'd be terrified to face Curry.

He always has been since like 2015.

I am actually not sure on that one. KD is an amazing player.

And you know, you can't teach lenght. And that us working for KD

No, Steph definitely is better. KD is probably a better one on one or isolation player, but the facts are Curry got the squad he started with to a title, KD didn't do that, Harden didn't do that, CP3 didn't do that, etc.

And before people say "well he had stacked teams", no one at all was anointing Draymond or Klay as evidence of a stacked team in their early years, definitely not comparing to the squads these other players had. Steph just happens to help and allow his teammates to keep better in a way that a unselfish and legendary off-ball player can, and that a ball dominant player never could. Look at how he has taken the team he was gifted this year with players like Wiggins, JTA, Bazemore etc, and helped get them to a dangerous team by the end of the season. A lot of that of course is the coaching staff building the team around Curry's strengths, but it starts with him.

And beyond the on the court stuff, its his leadership style and humble personality, he never blamed his teammates, he didnt demand trades, he had the commitment and all-in dedication to stay and help build this team, and obviously didnt wear out his welcome like many demanding stars have.

So maybe if you need one player to be able to make his own shot at the end of game, maybe KD is that guy. But if you want a player that helps makes the team better to the point that it isn't always coming down to one desperation shot, Steph is that guy. And i think that's what confuses people that try to judge his legacy. Its hard to showcase a lot of hero ball when you dont play a lot of 4th quarters or one of your greatest impacts is drawing multiple defenders to leave a teammate with a wide open basket.

They put that stat up where the only 4 players to get multiple scoring titles, multiple mvps, and multiple championships are Jordan, Wilt, Kareem, and now Steph. Its funny how Steph keeps coincidentally achieving all these benchmarks, including the team ones, and yet many are still hesitant to call him an all time great. I think just as Steph has redefined the role of the 3pointer in the game, he has also redefined the way that people measure a great player, sometimes its not about hero ball and carrying a team on his back. Sometimes its helping the team get the point where it doesnt need someone to save them all the time.

Warriors are 38-26 this year when Steph plays. Good for a win percentage of just under .600. So they would've been around 42/43 wins (in theory) if he played all the games which would've been around 5/6 seed. Pretty impressive given the roster.
