lol no.

You haven't had a discernible take in this entire thread. I've written the keys to success and they were followed by Kerr two years later. Don't try to gaslight me Philo.

Two years ago the "overrated chucker" Curry took 17 shots per game, this year he takes 20 shot per game. Apparently the key to sucess was having the "overrated chucker" take more shots. :lol

His shots come in the flow of the offense now. The are no longer the team with the fewest passes before a shot. They move the ball well. Steph passes up looks now to get looks for others. His passing has improved in leaps and bounds. He's able to drive the paint now, one of the best in the league as you saw at the end of the 1st half and the end of game six. Credit Steph because he bought in to a change when they were fairly successful how they were. It's hard for a team with relative success to change how they operate. Kudos to the Warriors for doing so with a new rookie coach.

I don't agree with that. Curry has always played within the rythm of the offense, outside a heat-check here and there. Mark Jackson's offense being shit is a different thing, tbh.

He'll start up next season on fire again and they'll pour a 10 game lead on the league by mid February and they'll have learned from it and he'll get fewer minutes. That 73 RS wins debacle they chased this year was off script, and Kerr knows it, and he was complicit and that's his cross to bear.

:lol DMC takes it for this year, tbh..he earned it..

Curry was never the same after leaving the Rockets series..had a historically great RS where he looked like the 2nd best PG of all-time to a top 10 player that can be great, but not consistently dominant..

Warriors as a team can look great, but not dominant without peak Curry..

spurraider21
05-18-2019, 10:26 PM
I personally think Draymond Green needs to be traded or just benched. He doesn't fit.


No team with Draymond green would ever succeed. :lol

Not to mention the warriors top two players are easy to defend.

What the hell are the warriors going to do when they Play the Spurs? Or the Bulls ( also overrated but will match up well with the warriors)

:lol


They are all getting better and better, he doesn't fit into their scheme. He's the odd man out. Trust me on this.


He's too short to be an effective 4, and as a small forward, he's a good defender but he shot 33% from 3 last year but he still takes shots. He's getting minutes because Lee is injured, but he'd be starting on another squad (one with lower playoff hopes). He doesn't fit for that reason, not because he's not a good player, but because the Warriors need a true PF, not a taller than average SF who hybrids into the role. Think Blair/center.

Turns out that the 2013 Warriors were a dynasty in the making and it was completely reasonable for the 2013 Spurs to struggle to put them away. Tough times in the prognosticating world, it was.

And the game has changed massively since then as well. Generally speaking, teams still prized bigs over all other players, and Will Hunting's point guard theory was still intact.

Therein lies my point: This Warriors team is misshapen compared to what they should be or could be. Some might think this is their pinnacle, but I've seen signs from them to suggest otherwise (saw it last season tbh). However, Steph plays the important role in the imaginary "could be" team, he just doesn't rely on bail out shots to do so because he has a game plan and executes it.

Even the best scouts and basketball minds are wrong about potential a good percentage of the time. It's an educated guess, and more knowledge is better than less, but it's still a guess. You can't see into a player's mind and know for sure how determined they will be, and you can't know for certain how or when their mindset or emotions might suddenly change for the better or the worse. Hasheem Thabeet and Anthony Bennett were consensus lottery picks, agreed upon by most experts, and Jokic and Draymond were seen as absolute outliers. Hell, Jonathan Bender might've been a superstar if his knees had held up. That being said, this 63 page thread does read like a thesis on basic humility and hubris.

Thabeet was widely known to be a questionable pick and a project at best. It was a hugely questionable pick as the second pick, but it was at a time when bigs were supposed to be of some value.

Bennett was a huge WTF pick. Nobody expected him to go first in that draft, or any draft for matter. Granted it was one of the worst draft in a long while (nobody expected Antetokoumnpo to be what he is today), but picking Bennett was widely panned, even Bennett himself was surprised.

thats not a double standard. parker was declining, but he was still the more known commodity than curry at the time. over the course of the season it became more clear that parker was declining and not merely slumping, while curry kept ascending.

but you called him an overrated chucker, wannabe kobe, and thought green needed to be traded because he didnt fit. its not as though green wasn't fitting in at the time either :lol. that didnt make sense then or now.

And the game has changed massively since then as well. Generally speaking, teams still prized bigs over all other players, and Will Hunting (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=17032)'s point guard theory was still intact.
The only year you could reasonably say was an exception to my PG theory is 2015, and even then Curry played like shit in the finals getting guarded by Dellavad:lolva, but they were playing against a Cavs team with the 2nd and 3rd best player injured so the giant talent disparity was enough to overcome his poor play. The stars aligned for Golden State that year. No healthy OKC team to give them any kind of challenge in the West, and without Irving or Love the Cavs were maybe an even worse finals team than the 2007 Cavs were.

I’ve also never denied that there isn’t the occasional transcendent talent, team loaded with talent up and down its roster where it just so happens the PG is the most talented of the bunch, or team that is in the right place at the right time and wins in a historically weak year (in the case of the 2015 Warriors, it’s all of the above). The Warriors are perfectly constructed to prevent all of the defensive tactics that might actually stop Curry. Klaynus takes away any ability to put a bigger defender on Curry because of his size and how good he is at shooting over smaller players. The other wings Golden State has won with (Iggy, Durant, Harrison Barnes) are also all 6’6” and over which more or less forced the other team to put its PG on Curry.

Curry is also unique in that he can influence the game as a PG without needing to dominate the ball the way nearly every other elite PG does. The success of guys like Irving and Westbrook is almost inversely related to their team’s success because them having a big night means no one else was touching the ball. Curry is able to be part of an offensive scheme that emphasizes ball sharing and fluidity to get open shots.

yeah, in game 2 where he shot 5-23.

in the other 5 games he averaged 27 ppg, shot 49% from the field, 46% from 3... still averaged 5 rebounds 6 assists and 2 steals the whole series. thats the most overblown narrative in recent history tbh... mostly believed by casual white american fans who want delly to get credit for being an actual nba player

The theory was definitely valid at the time, given the way the game was played. Post-Magic and pre-Curry, no title team really had a PG that could be considered a top 10 (or even 20) player in the league. Let's see: BJ Armstrong, Sam Cassell, Avery Johnson, Derek Fisher, Speedy Claxton (:lol), Billups, Tony Parker, who was probably the best of the group, but is overrated, the corpse of Jason Kidd, and Mario Chalmers. Now it's essential a team has a top 20 PG or pseudo-PG (Harden). They might not always necessarily be the alpha, but a Derek Fisher or Avery Johnson level PG would probably be too big of a roster deficiency to overcome unless the other 4 starters were superstars.

The PG as your best player theory is still perfectly valid..

As Dok said, the reason Curry is different is due to his off-ball dominance.. he's one of the only players in league history who consistently gets doubled without even having the ball in his hands..

There will be plenty of emulators coming up, but you won't get another one like him..

yeah, in game 2 where he shot 5-23.

in the other 5 games he averaged 27 ppg, shot 49% from the field, 46% from 3... still averaged 5 rebounds 6 assists and 2 steals the whole series. thats the most overblown narrative in recent history tbh... mostly believed by casual white american fans who want delly to get credit for being an actual nba player
So you took away his worst game in a 6 game stretch and the numbers look really good...cool. I could do the same thing in the other direction. If you take away his 37 point game 4, he averaged 23.8 points on 41% shooting.

I'll admit that saying he "played like shit" is an overstatement but his play wasn't the big reason they won that series, their elite defense was.

Calling Harden a "pseudo-PG" is a gimmicky way to try to argue with the PG theory, especially since there clearly is a PG on that team who's subordinate to Harden as the top option. No reasonable person would argue the Rockets are a team where the PG is its best player. One of the biggest factors behind my opinion of PGs is their size and the fact that you can't consistently rely on the shortest player on the court to close playoff games against elite defensive teams. Slapping the label of "point guard" on a wing who handled the ball a lot was something people who (for reasons I'll never really understand) got uncontrollably enraged every time my PG theory got brought up.

I don't disagree that winning a championship with someone like Fisher or Avery Johnson as your starting point guard would be difficult now and that your PG does need to be an offensive weapon to a larger extent, but that doesn't invalidate my theory. It's not like my theory was "you should have an unathletic slug playing point guard if you want to win championships".

Every team other than the Warriors that's trying to build around a PG as its best player right now has obvious flaws. The rest of the Celtics can't mesh with Irving, the rest of the Thunder can't mesh with Westbrook, the Blazers are choking away huge leads because Lillard gets thrown around like a rag doll and runs out of gas by the 4th quarter (they also overachieved getting to the WCF because of lucky playoff seeding), and there aren't any other top 8 teams I can think of with a PG as the best player. While I agree that you can't have a gaping offensive liability at PG anymore, I'd say its even harder to win as a PG dominated team now than it was 10 years ago. There's such an emphasis on ball movement that an offense where a PG runs around calling for pick and rolls would get run off the court by a team like the Bucks.

Exactly, the fact such a physically un-intimidating player commands off ball double teams is transcendent and unlikely to be replicated.

If the people who like arguing against the PG theory just for the sake of it want me to change the theory from "Teams with a PG as their best player aren't built to win championships" to "You can't win with a PG as your best player unless said PG is a transcendent shooting talent who gets double teamed off-ball, but you'll still need to have a 6'7" 20+ point scorer at SG who's also a historically efficient off-ball scoring threat to make sure that larger defenders can't be switched onto said PG" then I guess I can concede that :lol

Yeah, that's basically my point. 10-20 years ago, if I were building a team, PG would probably the last position I'd be overly concerned about filling. Today, I would first try to find an athletic wing who can shoot or be developed into a shooter and then find an athletic 3 point shooting PG to complement. I think the Rockets' Achilles heel is the fact Chris Paul's game is still stuck in the early 10s, too midrange centric. So being an elite PG isn't enough, either (his game impact metrics are always solid over the regular season, top 15 in RPM). You have to be an off-the-dribble threat from 3. The Giannis+Bledsoe is probably the boilerplate duo now (Giannis is of course listed as a PF, but he plays like a wing), and if/when Giannis develops a 3 (I think for the Bucks to take it to the next level [don't see them beating GS], he's going to have to. His game will be too prone to paint packing), we could be looking at the next dominant NBA team.

I think the Rockets have the same issue Portland has, they don't have a long scoring wing. As you said, if you were building a team today, an athletic wing who can score from anywhere on the court would be the player you build around, and imo the Rockets don't have it.

Harden is only like 6'3", so they should just move him to PG full time and trade CP3 for a wing, picks, assets, whatever. The Harden/CP3 duo is flawed. I don't even know what CP3's role on that team is anymore? Harden pretty much runs the show, so CP3 is reduced to an undersized SG who can pass. Kind of like when Manu and Parker used to share the court. Manu was the PG, while Parker was basically the SG.

i dont think he's there. at his peak kobe was also a great defender. curry is a decent defender but he's not a standout, and he's not somebody that you can ever put on the other team's best player... if its a small guard klay usually takes over. thats why houston would aggressively target him (seems like they did so more last year). curry isn't an awful defender, but he doesn't have a prayer against elite players like harden. kobe would usually be up to the task when the chips were down

Curry already passed Kobe, IMO.

-Curry winning three championships with the Warriors is more impressive than five championships with the Lakers. The built-in advantages the Lakers have (glamour team, best market, best place to live if you're rich, best team for marketing purposes) means they should always be elite. The Warriors were the laughing stock of the NBA until Curry arrived.

-More impressive peak. Curry getting dat unanimous MVP, breaking the all-time win record and becoming virtually unguardable is more impressive than anything Kobe did, tbh.

-Kobe in his prime not being able to make the playoffs is a more embarrassing low than anything Curry has experienced.

-Better leader. Didn't drive away his Hall of Fame teammate and cause his Hall of Fame coach to hate him. Pretty much did the exact opposite: welcomed a Hall of Fame beta and turned his head coach into a Hall of Famer.

-Speaking of Durant, Kobe was arguably the original Durant in that he demanded to be traded to the Lakers even before he was drafted instead of taking the alpha road of leading the Hornets to championship success.

I don't even think it's that close, tbh.

Don't necessarily disagree with the take and have always despised Bryant, but to be fair . . .

- Curry hasn't won a legit championship yet. The first, they didn't play a single elite team and the one they would have, their 2nd best player played less than 1 game, while the 3rd played 0. The next two they had the widest talent gap between them and the next closest team than any team probably ever.

- The unanimous MVP was in part because it was the first year were votes had to be made public. The other part was his being probably an unparalleled media darling. To be sure, he deserved it, but so have others.

- Begging an even greater player to join what was already probably the best team in the league, is an embarrassment. They all showed an astonishing lack of competitiveness, confidence and security.

Except Curry isn't the best player on his own team unless Durant is out. Curry would be the best player without Durant, but they reached out to him and Curry subsequently took a backseat. In my opinion that denotes a win first mentality, not a "me" first mentality, however in the halls of greatness where pundits argue about legacy, allowing someone to usurp your alpha role for 3 years (maybe a 3peat) puts Curry as a 2nd fiddle to Durant and 2nd fiddles aren't in the top 15 all time.

The only year you could reasonably say was an exception to my PG theory is 2015, and even then Curry played like shit in the finals getting guarded by Dellavad:lolva, but they were playing against a Cavs team with the 2nd and 3rd best player injured so the giant talent disparity was enough to overcome his poor play. The stars aligned for Golden State that year. No healthy OKC team to give them any kind of challenge in the West, and without Irving or Love the Cavs were maybe an even worse finals team than the 2007 Cavs were.

I’ve also never denied that there isn’t the occasional transcendent talent, team loaded with talent up and down its roster where it just so happens the PG is the most talented of the bunch, or team that is in the right place at the right time and wins in a historically weak year (in the case of the 2015 Warriors, it’s all of the above). The Warriors are perfectly constructed to prevent all of the defensive tactics that might actually stop Curry. Klaynus takes away any ability to put a bigger defender on Curry because of his size and how good he is at shooting over smaller players. The other wings Golden State has won with (Iggy, Durant, Harrison Barnes) are also all 6’6” and over which more or less forced the other team to put its PG on Curry.

Curry is also unique in that he can influence the game as a PG without needing to dominate the ball the way nearly every other elite PG does. The success of guys like Irving and Westbrook is almost inversely related to their team’s success because them having a big night means no one else was touching the ball. Curry is able to be part of an offensive scheme that emphasizes ball sharing and fluidity to get open shots.

"The Steph Curry (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1685204/stephen-curry) vs. Kevin Durant (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1231866/kevin-durant) debate rages on as the Warriors (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/GS/golden-state-warriors/) are now 5-0 in these playoffs with Durant on the shelf. That mark is actually 6-0 as the Warriors were losing when Durant went out in Game 5 against the Rockets (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/HOU/houston-rockets/) before Curry and Co. led a second-half comeback. The Warriors are now 31-1 in their last 32 games in which Curry plays and Durant doesn't, and since Durant arrived in 2016, they are 34-4 in such games.

In the four-game sweep of Portland, Curry averaged 36.5 points on 48-percent shooting including 42.6 percent from three. He has scored 33 or more in every game Durant has sat. He is back to being the primary playmaker, stretching defenses in the way only he can with the ball in his hands, and it looks like the old Warriors now with Draymond Green (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1992792/draymond-green)and Co. taking advantage of that space and the extra ball movement to find their own rhythm."

In all seriousness, it's closer than anyone in Al-Kobe will admit to. They were both 1bs on multiple title teams, and Steph's like title without KD came against a hilariously depleted Cavs team kind of like how Kobe's alpha titles came in possibly the weakest Western conference in modern NBA history.

One quick point: until this WCF series, Curry had yet to have a signature playoff series to his name. Kobe has had many, including a few series against us, tbh (2001, 2008)

-Speaking of Durant, Kobe was arguably the original Durant in that he demanded to be traded to the Lakers even before he was drafted instead of taking the alpha road of leading the Hornets to championship success.

I don't even think it's that close, tbh.

The 1st was impressive. The next 2 were no-brainers after stacking with Durant and all the leg riders that showed up.

no qualms with amb's post above

but if true why cant KD have a similar case over Bird?

he has as many Finals MVp's as Bird two less regular season ones.
More scoring titles better shooting#'s

The only tangible things bird is clearly better at than KD is Passing and rebounding

Heis also a better leader (tbh) but that is intangible.

KD is the better:

Dribbler
Shotblocker
snooter
Deeper range
Better in transition
Pull up jumper
Fade away jumper
Faster
Taller
better dunker

his career numbers will dwark

Because bird man a three time championship team. He has the biggest one season turnaround in his rookie year until Robinson came along.

There’s no question bird was the man and the Celtics were built around him. Durant joined a team built around curry.

Bullshit

You cannot call a team stacked because they drafted well. Klay, Green and Curry were all drafted. They won a ring without Durant. Iggy from the bench != stacked team.


Why is drafting well not allowed to stacked teams. You just have to have a bunch of great players to have a stacked team. Doesn’t matter if it’s through drafting or free agency.

On the topic of this thread though, some fatso are starting to admit he was wrong about curry. Maybe you should join the line.

In order for a team to be stacked, someone has to stack it. You don't stack through organic growth. You stack by compiling established superstars. You can have a strong team (Spurs) without stacking.

You're just misusing the term and then trying to cover your tracks by predicting I will call you out on it.

Just admit you follow me around like some little love struck girl trying to get some attention, you disagree without even reading (proven) and then you try to talk your way out of it by accusing others of doing what you're doing, being philopolemic.

No way in hell they get past the Spurs without KD. Kawhi was hitting his MVP stride before zaza took him out.

Who will shut down Klay Thompson? Danny Green is a good defender but he's not going to be able to stay with the movement of those two who seem to never stand still.

Kawhi is a great defender, but if Steph could be shut down by defense he would have been by now. He's not an X factor, he's the one they plan for if Durant is out. If Durant plays, it's going to get pretty ugly.

Jonnyblue19
05-26-2019, 03:17 AM
No one is going to stop Steph. They will pick and roll the Raptors to death like they do every team. They aren't going to let Steph go one on one against Kiwi if he guards him. Gasol or Ibaka will switch once they have Looney set a screen.

This isnt the Bucks who go give the ball to Giannis and have him try to go 1 on 4. The Warriors actually have ball movement and shooters. They also cut to the basket too. Which is something the Bucks rarely did. If Draymond sets the screen and rolls he will destroy the Raptors with his passing or attacking the basket.

Gagnrath
05-26-2019, 01:19 PM
i dont think he's there. at his peak kobe was also a great defender. curry is a decent defender but he's not a standout, and he's not somebody that you can ever put on the other team's best player... if its a small guard klay usually takes over. thats why houston would aggressively target him (seems like they did so more last year). curry isn't an awful defender, but he doesn't have a prayer against elite players like harden. kobe would usually be up to the task when the chips were down

offensively is a different story

Kobe wasn't ever regularly a top defender..... He had a few games or a series where he put forth effort and looked like a very good defender.... The rest of the time he basically caught his wind on that end. Kobe was less of a defensive talent than lebron.... Was he good when he wanted to be? Yes but Kobe's defense is like Aldridge's post game..... You see if often enough to kniw its there especially in the big publicity games but it's awol so often that you can never count on it.

Curry had his share of good and bad performances this postseason. He receives more defensive attention than any other point guard in the league.

Give it a break and just recognize Curry as one of the top point guards in the game (if not the top). Honestly, what other point guard would you rather have on your team? Kyrie The Cancer? CP-Choke?

I would still have GS as slight favourites but if they meet in the finals it will be tight as hell, and if the Raptors get HCA (which I think they can easily get), watch out.

If last year's Rockets team almost got them, then this Raptors team can definitely do the same. Toronto has a better Superstar than the Rockets have, and much, much deeper team.

Curry usually takes a lot of shots but it's ok because he usually makes them (except in the Finals of course), but this season he has been taking way too many shots, probably a bad habit he has gotten from chasing the 3 pt record

But it's not just "bad" shots he has been missing, he's also missing wide open 3's

His penetration and midrange games seem to have declined

I think Kerr should give him a game off tbh

He took a lot of threes last year but had a higher average. He'll be ok.

DMC dude is usually more right than wrong imo. I'ma go ahead and say his theory will be proven right or wrong in round 2. When he faces an above average defense and defensive strategy.

I'ma go ahead and say DMC will be proven right in round 2.

Hater called it (again). Warriors lost in round 2 after Curry chucked them out of the game.

Steph Curry passes Kobe for most 20-point quarters in NBA history, per Warriors broadcast (Bob Fitzgerald is one of the worst of all-time). This is patently false, as Wilt Chamberlain and MJ are not included on any list. "NBA History" must mean since 1996-97.

His humble schtick is an act. He's a pompous asshat.

Just like he goes back and forth from ebonics depending on the interview / setting.

Fagic pulled the same fake bullshit.

Green - carpet bagger

Curry / mouth guard, antics, wife who thinks lot hotter than is

curry lived up to this thread today, tbh


curry validated OP today, got bailed out badly through most of the 4th



ur giving a kobe fan's argument tbh... he played a pretty bad game, made some big shots, and they were able to win.

for the warriors sake, curry needs to clean up his act and go back to how he was playing during the regular season


You're starting to see the light.


his performance today was pretty indefensible, but it was also uncharacteristic


It was uncharacteristic of his play this season, but not two seasons ago. He used to do that all the time. He didn't just now invent it.

Steph flexes damn near as much as Draymond now that he weighs more than 150 pounds. And the put em to sleep celebration is as obnoxious as the rock the baby Russ does. Not a fan of the “new” Steph.

But I guess...

I’m just glad they stopped shoving his wife down our throats. As if she was an actual talented person we should give a fuck about. Every damn interview a couple years ago was Steph is great but let’s talk about the real star and the real mvp in his wife. Let’s give her a cooking show and a platform and ask her opinions on random shit that she knows nothing about and just praise her constantly bc she is Stephs wife.

Nah many to most people still love him it's just a small group of die hard NBA fans. many are just mad that he beats their teams...or their narratives. Some of them would also seem to love basketball going some unwritten code thing where you can't celebrate ever and become as fucking boring as baseball is
