Warriors: LOL Stephen "I Wanna Be Kobe" Curry

[Sybok]

Inconsistency is the only consistency when you launch an NBA-high 7.9 3-point attempts per game.

I made the thread. It's my place to argue, plus I've provided rationality that you've not even offered.

[spurraider21]

I have (my last post before the thread was bumped). You said due to his chucking style, the warriors will struggle when curry has an off shooting night. The numbers refute that.

I cite his career high assist total as evidence that he's not simply chucking, and you give a bull and baseless explanation of how his assists largely come out of situations where he is doubled/tripled and forced to get rid of the ball as a last resort instead of coming from actual playmaking.

While you are quick to assign blame to Curry when the team loses, you have also been on record saying his teammates have more to do than wins/losses than he does, which seemingly contradict one another

You're either being intentionally obtuse or you are just naive.

Curry is the PG. He's the one running the show. If his scoring outbursts more often come in losses than in wins, then that means his teammates aren't involved. They will score fewer points. The team loses. That doesn't mean the team lost because the teammates scored fewer points, at least it's not the root cause. How are you with abstract concepts?

You seem capable of understand the concept with Kobe but somehow you have a blind spot when it comes to Curry. It's notable though that you say "I am a fan of the guy, I hope he improves". Your acceptance of his game is established and you're now hoping he earns it.

He won't give up. He has a passion for arguing. Do you not know DMC?

is this some ironic or what?

Curry's assist numbers are a shade lower in losses... But it's also true that Lee/Klay (the two best scorers besides Curry) have considerably lower shooting figures during losses.

Not whatsoever. You "cleverly" only posted a segment of my post, even though u preceded it with "he is as philopolemic as I am"

Shooting figures?

[spurraider21]

Shooting figures?

Yes

[Sybok]

So what figures? His PPG? His %?

What a weird thread.

Curry was the 6th most efficient player in the league this season and 4th in assist percentage.

^ probably hasn't watched more than 4 Warriors games all season.

You're so busy responding to every post you don't have time to actually add anything.

Curry 0-5 with 3 turnovers in the 4th quarter..

DMC the prophet, tbh..

To be fair, one of the few things the Clippers did well today was guarding Curry, unfortunately, the rest of their team stepped up....

Maybe the better play is to let him chuck and shut down everyone else, tbh....

[Venti Quattro]

choking in the 4th

[ClipperLuva]

Curry just doing what Curry does.

[Clipper Nation]

Curry
Chucking, choking got
Flops on every jump shot
Shut down by a hobbled CP3 for most of the series

[kamikazi_player]

are you guys gonna really trash steph? he played a of a game.

Just good ole' ribbing homie. Steph played a of a game. What should really be laughed at is Chris Paul trying his best to give away the game to the Clippers.

[Clipper Nation]

What should really be laughed at is Klay Thompson being invisible for long stretches of the series after talking all that before Game 1, including absolutely dismal performances in Games 2 and 6....

Klay didn't do much today, but he wasn't abysmal either in my opinion. He did ok for a Game 7. And oh yeah I remember when he talked to Blake about flopping

After all the flopping Curry, Lee, Green, and even Iggy were doing all series, that was laughable as in hindsight

[Sybok]

The problem in this series wasn't Steph. It was the fact that Mark Jackson doesn't know how to run a team, had low contributions from his bench and doesn't coach defense at all. He's a cheerleader. I hope he gets fired.

Look at the balance of scoring, but less obvious, the balance of assists among the starters. Notice Curry doesn't have all the assists and 20 shot attempts. That small sample says ball distribution, ball movement, open shooters who take the shots, intentional plays, not a "bail us out with a 30' bomb please" offense.

So far so good. Much improved over Jackson's system.
