Bucks are awesome by the way. They beat Celts in 5, Heat in 4, and Warriors in 6 if Middleton plays.

I know this is hard on you son. But you'll be OK.

Alright, I'll stop feeding the troll now.

Lillard has the NBA Playoff Record for Three Point Shots Made In A Game (12)
Curry has the NBA Playoff Record for Most Threes Attempted Without A Make In A Game (9)

Don't even begin to compare them. Put Dame on the Warriors instead of Curry and the Warriors win in 2016. Dame gets to WCF with Aminu and Harkless. How did Curry do without Klay last year? Yep. He didn't even make the playoffs. Checkmate.


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Either this is a troll thread or you are one of the most ridiculous posters ever here.

One dude has led his team to 6 finals in 8 years and 3 going on 4 rings.

I love Dame, but was has he led his team to? Do you really want to compare 3 pt records between the two?

Like i said, just a :clown: :clown: :clown:

Well there's also this other guy who averages 30.6 points on 60%TS in this series

CURRY 0/9 FROM THREE in most important game of the season. WIGGINS SHUTS DOWN TATUM and leads Warriors in scoring in pivotal Game 5! Curry has never been able to handle the pressure. He could NEVER even make the PLAYOFFS with AMINU and Harkless as teammates!

What has Dame led his team to? He LED HIS TEAM TO THE WCF with AMINU AND HARKLESS AS TEAMMATES. When Curry doesn't have HALL OF FAME TEAMMATES, he leads his team to LOTTERY.

Dame has the best 3 point record. Hits the most in a single playoff game. Also- Dame shoots higher percentages from 35-40 feet.

Knew you were being intentionally stupid, wasn't sure you were crazy.






Bout time we close this thread, yeah?

I think it's clear that I'm right. I have facts on my side. Lock it up!

you are also clueless. sorry mate, but that's the truth.

and to answer the question, if he has two exceptional games and curry lays two eggs in each of them, AND the dubs still win it, than yes, he has a chance. but hard to se it this way. we might not even win it all, so that question is not valid then.

You're smart. Celtics may win series. Especially since Curry sucks. I love the NBA!!


Oh yes, you're totally, absolutely, unquestionably unbiased. Saying the first unanimous MVP in league history and the best shooter ever sucks. But hey, you're unbiased, right? :lol: :lol:

Serious question: how old are you?

How can Curry be the best shooter ever if he misses more than he makes? Let's just say I've followed this league since the late 80s. Back when Lakers were playing Pistons in the Finals. I just call everything like I see it. They made a mistake when they made Curry MVP in 2016. He couldn't score on Kevin Love when it mattered. That's not an MVP. I'm very unbiased. Straight shooter. I examine the facts and then lay them out for all to see. I mean no one harm. It's fun to discuss such things with you guys.

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.

0/9 from 3

ZERO of NINE


You know someone is a troll or a complete idiot when he criticizes Steph Curry's 3-point shooting

Oh I'm sorry. Shooting 9 threes and making none of them is a good thing? How can you not criticize him? Isn't the goal to get the ball IN the basket?

Whoever votes for Wiggins should have their voting privileges stripped in the future.

Hard to give any kind of MVP award to a guy who shoots 0-9 from 3 in the most important game of the season.

I mean yeah it's Kevin Love, but look at the way he moves his feet. That's flat out phenomenal defense.

He had a bad shooting night. It happens. He was still a +15 despite awful shooting and he played good defense.

You weren't bad-mouthing him after his game 4.

Great players don't have bad shooting nights in most important games of the season. I don't think I "bad-mouth" Curry at all. I just analyze the facts and lay them out for all to see. You can make up your own mind.

Every NBA player in history had a bad shooting night at some point in their careers in important games.

You won't find anyone that didn't.

You don't analyze facts at all. You have an agenda against Curry. You literally made a post in this thread that KD and Klay 'propped' him up. Stop the nonsense.

Wiggins would have to be a lot better and more valuable than Curry to win it. Even if he were slightly better than Curry, Curry would win because of the narrative (never been Finals MVP, probably got robbed in 2015).

But Curry is the best and most valuable player in this series. You don't need a narrative to give him the trophy. He deserves it.

Nope. I can't find a single player who shot 0/9 from three in an NBA Finals game. Can you? I'm scouring the internet but come up with nothing. Checking Eddie House's career, checking Sasha Pavlovic's career.... gimme a second...... nope! Curry's awful shooting is unprecedented. When Curry didn't have Klay or KD, he couldn't make playoffs. Couldn't handle the pressure of playing in front of a crowd paying so much for seats at the new Chase Center. He choked in the play-in. Twice.

Hmm I don't get it. Kevon Looney has never been Finals MVP either. Nor has Nik Stauskas. Maybe we should give them the participation trophy everyone so badly wants to give Curry. He wasn't robbed in 2015. Iggy 100% deserved it.
