i respectfully disagree. that being said, are you going to acknowledge that right now, he isn't a chucker?
another baseless, unsubstantiated claim. you just say this as if its obvious and true, but you have nothing to support itHe never "controlled" the ball too much, he just overdribbled and heaved from 30' unless the entire team was defending him at which time Klay would get a look.
see aboveHis turnovers are/were a product of his chucking. He looks for his shot, gets in trouble and tries to pass out of double coverage. They aren't coming from running set plays.
His team fell because he chucked them out of it.
i've criticized curry plenty, especially in games with high turnover totals.Don't credit Curry for the wins and blame the team for the losses. Several pages back I blamed Jackson for the team's woes. He subsequently was fired.
no, i don't think he's the exception to any of those. i never thought he was the ball-stopper you made him out to be in the first placeYou seem to think he's the exception to the "ball movement" and "involvement on offense" rule.
Ergo he should win the Finals every year.
you point out his chucking, his turnovers, and recently his "lack of defense"... i dont know how that isn't "looking for flaws in his game." that being said, i've never made him out to be flawless either. you're just not a fan and that's fine. but throwing out lazy arguments like "his turnovers are a result of his chucking" is just stupidI am not looking for flaws in his game. Other teams point those out in the playoffs just fine. I made an observation that, one year later, ESPN and TNT analysts pointed out as well when all the nut hugging subsided.
another baseless, unsubstantiated claim. you just say this as if its obvious and true, but you have nothing to support itCurry's assists most often came because he was out of options so he dumped off after being shut down in the paint or he passed to Klay who never saw a shot attempt he didn't like.
moving the ball around certainly helps. the warriors are a team loaded with good passers, which is why i'm high on them. Bogut and Green are averaging nearly 7 combined assists per game. David Lee hasn't really been used much this year yet, but he's a very good passer. spread out assist totals can reflect on the team though. a team full of good passers, like the spurs or warriors, can do that better than other teams.Do you believe that balancing the assists helps balance the offense and that a balanced offensive attack is a successful one most of the time on a non-Shaq/MJ team? Or do you believe a shoot first PG will carry a team to the Finals?
my thoughts on this are independent of stephen curry and his ability. if the previous coach implemented a very iso-heavy system, that is not a reflection of the players ability or willingness to pass. Curry has been a willing passer, and the new offense has enabled him to do so even more.
so you're just going to boil it down to rings? you're more like thread than you think. that's just being lazy. you can open a thread for every good nba player that hasn't won a ring and say "lol theyre overrated" and pretend you are right until they win a ring.The Finals is what's at stake here, your regular season 3pt records and all the meaningless .
