Does Wiggins have a chance at Finals MVP?
I mean if the series was over now, I'd give it to him. He has been the difference between winning and losing.

Wiggins has been excellent. Curry is BY FAR GSW's best player. I hope he doesn't get robbed of another FMVP.

As of now, Curry has it locked up if warriors win.
Though I'll say that Wiggins will have a 25% chance, if we have a repeat of g5 performance in g6.

Wiggins has been really strong in his role on most nights (wish he could hit an open 3 to save his life, but it is what it is). Super glad he has found his way here. Curry is a GOAT and tiers above everyone else on the floor.

Curry has never been robbed. KD was the better player in 17 and 18. And in 15, Iggy changed the series by going into starting lineup and then he hit all the big shots throughout those last couple games. He was the obvious choice. Curry tends to fade when the games get more important. Look at Game 7 in 2016 (look at Game 5 the other night!). He can't answer Kyrie. Locked down by Kevin Love. Curry is most effective when his team is up 10 to 12 points. Then, with the pressure off, he can bury the opposition with threes. Then he dances and acts like he's a badass.

GOAT of what? Choking in big games? There's no such thing as A GOAT. You're either GOAT or you're not. In the biggest game of the year, he shoots 0-9 from three. He's lucky he was bailed out by Wiggins who has been tiers above everyone else on the floor. If Game 6 is a repeat of Game 5, Wiggins is Finals MVP. Period.

Blazers fan, eh? Lost KD mid-series, finished off Houston then obliterated your boys in the sweep (again) en route to their last Finals.
Curry needs no defending though. I'll let you hang yourself; preach on.

Re: Does Wiggins have a chance at Finals MVP?
Steph is the best player in this series.
16-8 is a bad game for steph, but its not a bad game. Even with a pedestrian statline, his gravity is basically an unregistered assist for alot of those dubs buckets. He actually played a good game, but just shot poorly.
Secondly, low efficiency should be taken in context. The defense being played in this series has been unbelieveable. Its physical and suffocating.
Wiggins has been the second best player, but its going to take a miracle to overtake steph. No other dub even has an invitation.

What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Portland? Curry isn't the GOAT. Period.

He didn't just shoot poorly. He was embarrassingly bad in the biggest of games.

Re: Does Wiggins have a chance at Finals MVP?
No. Curry could score 10 pts on 3/12 shooting next game and he’ll still win it. It’s in the bag.

16 pts, 8 assists, 1 turnover, and decent defense. And that didn't even account for his gravity opening the floor to allow wiggs to attack the rim without a 2nd or 3rd defender to meet him. Thats all curry.

If Curry has 2 bad games and Wiggins scores 30 in game 7 Wiggins gets FMVP

Led the game in assists. Played solid D. Just 1 turnover. Lead all starters in +/- as they focused all defensive pressure on him. Worst game while averaging 31/6/5 on elite efficiency for the series? That's a win.
Turns out you just don't know what you're talking about, and don't understand why the Warriors are a dynasty. You're not the first, won't be the last. Go easy on yourself.

Curry when it matters:
Jordan NEVER would've been stopped by single coverage Kevin Love.

How many finals MVPs does Robert Horry have or should he? There are players that make open clutch shots because the attention and defense has decided to leave them open while focusing instead on the primary engine of the offense. And just because Curry doesnt force hero shots and instead helps the offense find the best shot, casual fans fall for these ridiculous narratives.
I love Wiggins, but Curry is averaging almost twice his scoring this series at a higher percentages in fg, 3pts, and fts, and leading and most all of the advanced stats, and still people make these horrible takes just to try to put Steph down. Its like they just dont want to let go of their bias against him and admit hes the one person this whole team is built around and succeed because of.

The fact that you cant let go of your bias from six years ago and see the player he is today shows how much of a ignorant take this is.

And still shooting 42% from 3 on the series. A Finals stat line Lillard and friends can only dream of.
I know this is hard on you son. But you'll be OK.
Alright, I'll stop feeding the troll now.
