Curry watch

[MultiTroll]

Is Curry just another Kobme type when stripped of rigged refs (illegal screens, other teams top players in foul trouble early and often -standard Laker-Warriors stuff), stacked team, ABC Disney Basketball Productions backing?

Also, Steve Kerr looking clueless :lol shitty coach tbh

[R. DeMurre]

:lol yeah, I'm sure Curry shot over 41% from three 10 years in a row because of rigged refs...

[JamStone]

I don’t think so. I think Curry was always going to be great regardless of teammates because of his shooting ability and the rest of his skill set, including a plus handle and ability to finish with both hands. Now the team success he’s had was certainly tied into the caliber of teammates he had. But he was always going to be a great individual player. His problem now is he’s getting older. Still might be fast for his age, but not faster than the twenty-something guards proliferating the league right now.

He’s at an age where power guards like Kobe and Michael and even LeBron to an extent were able to diversify their offense by going to a power game in the post. Curry will never be that guy. He doesn’t have the build or desire to shift to a post game if his jumper is off. He’s not a guy built to take it to the rim 15 times a game in the halfcourt to get to the free throw line 20 times a game. So if he doesn’t hit threes, he’s going to look mediocre or worse. But he still has the shooting ability that if he gets rolling, he can still hit 8, 9, 10 threes in a game. With less talent around him, it will just be more difficult for him to get as many clean, open looks he enjoyed playing next to Klay and KD. And even Draymond returning doesn’t help.

Even with the 2 brickfests so far Curry dished 10 and 6 assists. So yes he can be a team player. Otherwise agree. But he is no longer "great". He will still be good, but his great days are over with. He put on a heck of a shooting spree 2015-2018. But the illegal screens etc greatly enhanced.

Kobme "power guard" :lol

[FrostKing]

Top 10 PG ever. People that had him anywhere near the top were victims of the moment.

[DMC]

Curry will be fine. The rest of the team, not so much.

[mystargtr34]

James Wiseman needs some help tbh

[phxspurfan]

He's surrounded by shit. We'll send LMA over there for him :rollin

[Millennial_Messiah]

Top 10 PG ever. People that had him anywhere near the top were victims of the moment.

I consider him a career SG that just so happened to play de facto PG because of the circumstances and having the ultimate two-way, taller version of Ray Allen (Klay Thompson) on his team for so long, a guy who could literally do it all and was arguably an even better shooter than Curry.

IMO Klay is a sure fire HOF candidate between his shooting, lock-down defense and his sheer importance to the team. Sure Klay didn't get a ton of steals and blocks but he was basically Bruce Bowen esque on defense while being Ray Allen esque on offense, an impossibly rare combo to replicate.

Curry is just a shooting guard with limited point guard skills and a great jumper. His offensive game is also limited i.e. he's not going to back anyone down or draw fouls at the rim en masse like Kobe or James Harden. His defense also has been a weak point on Golden State for a long time when he isn't getting lucky with gambling on interceptions.

Curry has basically become prime Gilbert Arenas at this point, which is not a bad player, but it's not the player people thought he was circa 2015-2018.

He's just a Gilbert Arenas now and his career path may follow down that arc. Maybe he'll be a Jamal Crawford in a couple years, who knows. Maybe his ego will force him into retirement if he won't accept that kind of a role.

Klay Thompson (along with Green's illegal screens) were the MVP of the 2015-2018 dynasty Warriors. Curry made a lot of threes but he was never the MVP. Durant was only there about half their dynasty; he was a beast when healthy, but they wouldn't have been champions with just Curry and Durant making a lot of shots and not having the defense they had. Klay Thompson will go down as possibly the greatest two-way player of all time, especially since Kawhi Leonard is more of a gambler than an on-ball defender.

[R. DeMurre]

:lol Delusional takes here. You don't win 73 games in a season, or win 67, 73, & 67 in a three year span by being overrated. Curry lead the team in win shares all three years.

You do understand how getting illegal screens is going to increase open shots and thus 3% right? This isn't hard stuff.

Curry came into the league a great shooter; but to be a great volume shooter, he may have needed the help.

[R. DeMurre]

Chumpette on an alt throwing shit out after taking his beatdown. Sad.

:lol I'm not anybody's alt. Do you think it's a coincidence that Curry has the highest career FT% in the history of the NBA and shot over 40% from three every single year for a decade because of some stupid conspiracy theory? He's a legendary shooter... those are simple facts. The recent video where he hit 105 threes in a row in practice proves that pretty conclusively. What, did you think David Stern and then Adam Silver instructed the refs to give Steph an advantage but not also give that advantage to Harden, Lillard, Doncic and a bunch of other stars?

:lol when Wilt got 100 several players on his own team and the other team were disgysrdd att that point because the other team was quadruple teaming him and he was still going one on four while his teammates sat around watching him with their hands on their hips

It depends on where one saw him "rated" before. My reference point in the OP was related to Kirby Bryants extremely overated status as fueled by the rigged media etc.
Curry early on was looking like he was going to be at a similar Kirby status the years he did not have every advantage.

Last two Games, Portland 2 the 62 pts on very high TS% and the following game were impressive comebacks by Curry.
Portland 1 he had to guard Lillard and definitely came out on the short end in a Warriors loss.

Last 2 games, excellent. We'll see how many more of these he can have in 2021.

[MultiTroll]

OP :lol
:lol

[MultiTroll]

Lil Phaggot has had an excellent run the past 6 games or so.
Watched most of the Nuggets win over Golden State.

Currys 3 pointer still there, but more impressive to me is his driving bank shots and passing.

[lefty]

Do the side step 3's count as the number of steps one would take for a layup - because at the end of the day a shot is a shot regardless from where it's taken, does the same logic apply to both?

Or am I overthinking this and they're just uncalled blatant travels? :lol

i think they get away with a bit much. harden is the worst abuser of this with his backpedals. but yeah, they should get 2 steps before their release. the tricky part is that you dont count 2 steps after the last time the ball hits the ground, but after they gather the ball enough to have ended the live dribble, and with the amount of carrying that's allowed these days, its hard to really figure out that point

Yes he's having an excellent year. But this game personifies how silly the LeBron haters are who compare him unfavorably with Curry.

And as for poor Curry not having help, please explain in detail how this is a foul:

Chill on the MVP fabrication tho.

:rollin Kirby Curry exaggerates his flop dance so badly he injures himself.
Not laughing at the injury per say faggots, just saying ironic that his bread and butter flopping and falling down backfires on him big time.

Steffi looked abstholutely sthplendid vs the Bucks last game.

29/6/5 with a 30PER on the season.

Ohh ohh ohhhhhh! Steffi is having an All Star year.

Still grabbing his tailbone in pain. Not sure if attention whoring. He really did hurt it tho.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Great shooter and entertainer. I'm just not a huge fan.

[littleavery1948]

Steph is about to break the franchise record for most points as a Warrior on Monday night (unless he has a terrible game or gets hurt) as he only needs 19 points to make it. He's on a run of six straight 30-point games, including his sixth half of 26 or more points (this season). I think Steph should win MVP; the numbers speak for themselves, but the rest of his team is awful. Steph is gonna drag this team to two wins in the first round.

[littleavery1948]

53. All time leading scorer for the Warriors. Seven straight 30-point games. 10 25+ point halves, and at least 6 18+ point quarters. MVP.

[littleavery1948]

42 Points on 11 MORE threes. He is now 29-49 from the three in the last three games. His last three third quarters? 23, 18, 25, including 15-21 on threes. Made all eight shots, including six threes in the third quarter. I know OKC is trash and played nothing but 20 year old scrubs (and played absolutely no defense), but MVP belongs to Steph. No one is even close. Stay tuned for more Curry Greatness.

That Curry is doing better than you thought
OP i raised the question of if his descent into Kirby Bryant territory had started, and referenced an article to his butt buddy enabler Zaza's comments.
You know, discussion board stuff.

I've since said most def All Star and acknowledged his excellent games.
Said chill on the MVP tho.

Still true.

[spurraider21]

Its cool you just admit it. DMC took years to live down his Curry thread and he is probably still arguing it somewhere :lol
that thread might be my magnum opus. i was defending curry before it was cool (same with russell wilson in the NFL forum... though i unfortunately was alongside that pedo avante on that one :lol)

[MultiTroll]

That Curry is doing better than you thought
Nonetheless I concede he is doing better then i thought he would. But not by much.
Lots of stat padding as he is by far the #1 option on this years injured Warriors.
But even with all his excellent chucking he still passes well.
Ya I'm impressed. His descent may be very slow indeed.

Defense tho, GTFO.
Lebron Freak and Embid run circles around him.
Embid was da real MVP. Damn injury.

Curry owns again, another game with two 20+ point quarters.
His points per minute that game was fabulous.
Last night he shot what became the game winner. Nice shot, but....


Warriors 119 Jazz 116

Lil Phag Curry will get headlines for hitting game winning trey shot.
Truth be told, pathetic defense by Royce Oneal when the Jazz were up 2.

a. You're up by 2 with only 14 seconds left. Defend the trey.
b. Why even bother to guard Gaymond?

Oneal tries guarding both then falls for a super fake pass by Gaymond to let Curry get wide open for the shot.
FFS just guard Curry straight up in that situation.

Oh well, nice shot by Curry for the win. Jazz choked away the subsequent possession for the L.
