His rebounding, defense, and hustle was the 2nd most important factor in that win.

I did. Currys better
Curry’s peak is way better than anything Magic could have done in his dreams.

Did you watch the game? Wiggins was part of every play when they went like 8 point shift. Curry was 2-4 when it mattered on the 4th and padded his numbers a bit in the end when it was over.
Combine this all with elite defense all game long.
Wiggins had a great game, but he wasn't the reason they won, he was a reason. That's just a statement being made to try to make it seem like Curry didn't do some serious heavy lifting.

Curry was spectacular obviously, but man Wiggins was great too. He really showed heart and was a consummate professional throughout the game. He had some huge stretches to keep the Warriors in it when it felt like momentum was shifting. Really showed me something today.

Tatum contributes to that #1 defense doesn't he? And then he also provides everything else that is a less impactful as their defense but is still very much needed for them to win.dribble1614 wrote:og15 wrote:dribble1614 wrote:Tatum is the most overrated player in the league. Unclutch bum.
I suppose it is impressive that they got to the finals with him being so unclutch
team effort with very weak competition in the east. boston's #1 team defense is a far bigger factor than anything tatum provides. only got past the bucks barely due to their 2nd best player being out.
heat are a decent team but not a typical finals contender and he was still thoroughly outplayed and dominated by jimmy butler who was a far superior player.

Magic’s best day as a rookie ended the year with a ring after playing center in game 7… look up the stats
Magics is unquestionably one of the best ever - right there in the top 10

We've seen Boston come back from the dead so many times in the playoffs. The Warriors aren't so much better than them that they can't win another road game. I'm a pessimist so if I was a Boston fan I wouldn't be counting on it. But outside looking in I think they've still got a really good chance.
