Wiggins has become a star and that was the difference maker. What a pickup by golden state.
 
Nice effort by the Celtics, if they just work on their turnovers and keep things much tighter than they have in the games they have lost, they'll win titles with this group.

Warriors are champions again. Sure Steph is great but damn the system and players around him are extremely complementary to his strengths and make up for his weaknesses. It's a helluva team with great coaching, a fantastic front office and shot makers led by the best shot maker of all time.

Let the offseason commence and let's have a transformative one for our team.
 
Celtics really no match for the Warriors. If not for the game 1 collapse, should be 4-1 Warriors
 
Dude is playing like he had two major low body injuries causing him to miss two seasons.

Can only wonder why he's playing like that....

What exactly do lower body injuries have to do with decision making and BBIQ, eh, champ?
 
Maybe the Celtics do need a point guard, or someone like Draymond Green, to facilitate the offense and keep the turnovers down.
 
Who knows what? If he is as good as Curry? He's not.

Just saying we haven't seen Dame at his best. Whatever. Still, rather have Dame over Curry.

He's trying to do things he used to be able to do, but can't anymore. This is common for people who are slowing down physically but haven't accepted it mentally, in and out of sports.... eh, champ.
 
Boston had no answer for the smallest guy on the court. In crunch time when the
the Warriors needed a basket, they just spread the court and let the 6'2" (in bare feet) star stroll to the basket.
 
That's about as ridiculous of a take as someone could have. LeBron is in the conversation for best player of all time and Steph isn't even in the top 10.

Bron had to form super teams to win rings. Curry was natural. KD rode his coattails.

Miami. Only returned to Cleavland after they got Kyrie/Love. Then Lakers knowing they had assets and handlers to get Davis. And that was a mickey mouse ring.

Curry isn't even done, probably favorites to win at least the next 2 to 3 years still.

If Bron never left Cleavland, he would have 0 rings.

I don’t think it’s that ridiculous. LeBron is great, but he didn’t change the way the game is played. Steph Curry changed the way the game is played.
 
Cmon. Steph is a top 10 all time player now.
Precisely. Dame is to Steph as Clyde was to Jordan. Arguably (but not indisputably) the second best in the league at his position over a period of time, but clearly and understandably in the shadow of an all-time great.

LeBron is not in the conversation for best player of All Time. He is MUCH closer to Curry than he is to Michael Jordan. Jordan would play 40pg 82 games a year and dominate. LeBron takes breaks here and there and still doesn't approach what Michael did.

Curry plays with Hall of Fame Teammates. Dame plays with Harkless and Aminu. I'd like to see Curry reach WCF with Harkless and Aminu. Last year, he didn't have Klay and he didn't even make the playoffs.

LeBron will be the all time leading scorer in league history before the end of next season, will be top 5 in assists, and is the career playoff leader in many categories. You are one of very few who would say he's not in the GOAT conversation.
 
Jordan
LeBron
Duncan
Shaq
Akeem
Magic
Bird
KAJ
Russell
Wilt
Kobe
Oscar

What 3 players would you eliminate to put Curry in the Top 10?
Kobe, Oscar and Shaq.

"scooter"...?
 
Watch KD or Lebron join the Warriors come next season for cheap
 
Hakeem
Oscar
Bird
All elite on both ends. Curry's offense isn't even that much better than theirs... definitely not enough to offset the fact that he's not a good defender and they're all time defenders. Steph is the greatest shooter of all time but that's just one skill. The rest of his strengths are great compared to the guys he's playing with and against but they aren't generationally transcendent. His weaknesses are covered by the system he plays in and players he's played with. I think he's top 25 but he's not top 10.
