Warriors: LOL Stephen "I Wanna Be Kobe" Curry

[DMC]

so because klay is regarded as a very good defender, that means Curry is a very bad one? THAT's your argument? ok.

When someone else has to guard the guy the PG would normally be guarding, it's because the PG cannot guard him. This seems self evident.

[DMC]

Whoever says Curry doesn't play a lick of defense has clearly not watched enough Warriors games. He's obviously not a defensive stopper by any means but he's far from a liability, in fact he might even be above average on that end (for a PG nowadays).

Curry is a pick away from being completely out of any given play. He doesn't guard good players. He's a gambler on defense. Calling him a defender is like calling Tony Allen a shooter.

Since you've admitted you don't watch the games, I'd say so. Not sure who the "we" is you're referring to, unless you've been elected spokesperson for a group.

Steph's tank division like defense is stifling the Lakers right now.

so now the goalpost has been moved to "curry isn't an elite defender"

i also wasn't aware he was defending Nick Young, Wes Johnson, and Ed Davis

That much seems obvious. Maybe they have him guarding Ronnie Price, he's a beast.

Matt Bonner is a defender. So is a traffic cone.

I guess sarcasm isn't taught in your country.

I personally think Draymond Green needs to be traded or just benched. He doesn't fit.

Green and Steph absolutely ting on OP, per the usual. Steph Curry with 32 Points, 12 Assists, 5 rebounds and 0 TO's.
Draymond Green with 16 Points, 11 Rebounds, 13 Assists, and 2 blocks.

How stupid does the OP feel?

Took you two months to find a decent Draymond Green game.

Since it's a RS game and not a 1 game RS, not stupid at all. Can't expect a Hawks fan to understand basketball. We had to send our assistant coach to pull you out of the ter.

Are you admitting Curry is efficient offensively while lacking in defensive ability?

He's been better this year, with the chucking tendency turning more into ball movement to find open shooters. He's not nearly the standout he was when I started this thread. The "phenom" talk has subsided because he's playing more within the offense instead of heroballing. Most impressive stat this season has been the zero turnover stat from last night's game. Still, he shoots a lot of 3's, but if those are open looks I don't have a problem with it.

I think he's really good offensively this year but he still doesn't seem to have the body to be a great lockdown perimeter defender. I don't think he ever will. He's too slight and although I haven't seen many Warriors games this year, I'm sure he would get raped in the post by stronger point guards.

True, but the Warriors have one of the best defenses in the league, they are allowing the lowest FG% of any team in the league. They are 2nd in offense, and we can credit Steph with a lot of the offense, but defense is how they win games. That's not Steph.
