Steph

[mook]

I ain't even mad.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I have my issues with him, mainly that you can't play psychical with him and that the dude benefits so much from moving and double screens, dude is practically wide open 70% of the time.

 

[yenniedn]

I ain't even mad.

Definitely painful but can't be mad everything considered. The reigning champs, who set a league record for wins in aseason, get their MVP back and he goes ape shit late in the game. We were supposed to be hunkered in a room contemplating who to pick in the late lottery right now...

 

[ripcityboy]

Yah. He's great. Got to give him all the props in the world. The deadliest shooter I've ever seen. Good thing he doesn't play for the Blazers, they'd find a way to screw him out of his league MVP. Right Neil.

He took over 400 threes in the regular season, and you think 280 of them were practically wide open? You and I have a different definition of wide open.

 

[Stevenson]

Historic.

I bet a ton of those were open, yes. Curry just doesn't get doubled often, just because well, you can't double him cause his team in WCF material without him.

Shout out to my main man Confucius.

"Guys, do you think we should pick Deyonta Davis or Timothe Luwawu?"

 

[Natebishop3]

It still boggles my mind that there were people who thought it was a GOOD thing that he was playing last night....

Another issue you have to have to have with Steph, he's not with our team.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

This has validated what I've said most of the year - they're nothing without him. He bails them out... OFTEN.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The NBA should really bring back hand checking. Some of these guards playing today would really get a big reality check.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I ain't even mad.

Yeah, for my money Dame is still the best point guard FROM EARTH. Steph ain't human.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It still boggles my mind that there were people who thought it was a GOOD thing that he was playing last night....

If Livingston doesn't get tossed, I bet he doesn't heat up as much, but yeah, it was a mistake to think he'd be mortal for a whole game.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

When I saw that shot I laughed and said "you and me both, Paul."

 

[B-Roy]

He won the MVP. First unanimous. Well deserved.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I ain't gonna complain.

 

[Sedatedfork]

When I saw that shot I laughed and said "you and me both, Paul."

I feel a little bad for Paul that this is now apparently going to be a meme as big as crying Jordan. Poor Paul.

 

[Minstrel]

He gets doubled a ton--in fact, it's the reason for their staple offensive dynamic: Steph gets doubled above the three point line, he passes to Green who then initiates a 4-on-3 by attacking the lane and, if anyone rotates over to help, finding the open shooter.

Curry also shoots an absurd amount of contested shots and makes them at a ridiculous rate.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

What, you don't want a guy who supposedly made 77 straight 3s in practice to play????

 

[BlazerWookee]

One more free throw.


One.


Sigh...

 

[blue32]

One more free throw.


One.


Sigh...

2 tech's missed and a regular, plus 6 more by our other guys... I hear ya.... ya gotta make your free throws.

You can't argue with Schonely's decree to make your free throws . . . but you can't just point to a singular free throw as the difference in the game. It's the whole fabric of time business; change one of those missed free throws into a make and it changes everything else after that point. Klay/Dray/Steph (or even Mo Buckets Speights for fuck's sake) makes a 3 instead of a 2 on the next possession and it negates the extra made free throw.

For all we know, changing one free throw on our side sets off a whole series of events that results in a huge run by GSW that has them winning by 20 in regulation??? Hell, getting Livingston tossed from the game (which sure looked like a positive at the time) resulted in Curry having a historic OT which may not have happened had Livingston played his regular minutes last night.

[KeepOnRollin]

Absolutely agree with this.

 

[Strenuus]

Absolutely agree with this.

I can't listen to it now... what is the gist of this?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Curry (because he is seen as mostly humble and a very nice guy off the court) can get away with saying I'M back (after he hit some daggers) and pointing to his wrist (To say you are out of time!) whereas Draymond or even LeBron would get roasted for it and their reputation would go even further in the shitter.

Considering I haven't seen that... I mean, Steph isn't a bad guy, I think. Klay or Draymond just are. They rub me the wrong way (and continually confirm it every time they talk).

Steph is cocky, not arrogant. And if Dame can do the "What time is it?" wrist tap, then it'd be hypocritical to say it's wrong for Steph to do something similar.

Thanks, btw!
