omg what a ballsy prediction. picking the rest of the NBA against one team. DMC sure went out on a limb there.

If GSW can beat a healthy Thunder squad in the first round they're good enough to win the west. Spurms ain't repeating thankfully so it's down to GS and that coon from Cleveland
doesn't matter. what was a stephen curry thread shouldn't suddenly become a "i'll take the field vs the warriors to win the championship" thread
Oh, I know that but I also know that as soon as the Warriors lose in the playoffs (if they lose) DMC will be here ting on Curry and moving goal posts. That's why I want to get him on some kind of record as to what he thinks shouldn't be considered a choke from Curry and the Warriors if they don't win it all.
It doesn't matter though 'cause we all know that the Warriors could easily lose against a healthy OKC team in the first round and it shouldn't be considered a choke but he won't care about that, he will be laughing about it and ting on Curry no matter how he performs (If he doesn't have a good series because he choked and if he has a great series because he ball-hogged).
Curry has been a top 2 player in the league this year, and he's a top 5 player overall on a team that is extremely reliant on him to carry their offense, but ya, if the Warriors don't make it to the Finals, I'd say it should be considered one of the biggest choke jobs in recent history..
I disagree...the West is insane this year (even more so than it was last year). They might have to play ing OKC in the 1st round for christ's sake. I wouldn't consider it some massive choke if they didn't make the Finals. Disappointment? Sure. But not some historical choke.
Then in another thread he'll pick the warriors and claim picking both teams is his shtick, but in reality he just never wants to admit he was wrong.
this is one of the strongest conferences in nba history. they could theoretically get OKC in round 1, San Antonio in round 2, and Memphis in round 3...
Yeah, this can't be a choke job tbh. This is not a case of an elite team like Atlanta facing a a sorry ass team like Brooklyn in the first round. OKC could realistically win the West.
It's strong at the bottom, really weak at the top, tbh..
A team like Memphis shouldn't be the 2nd best team in a conference, and a team like Portland shouldn't be anywhere near contending..
The Warriors and Thunder are the only legit teams in the West, and Golden State should be a heavy favorite considering Durant looks shaky and can't stay healthy anymore + the strong possibility that Russ is going to be worn down by April..
Dominating against regular season defense
So this is going to be an annual thing. Talk about moving goalposts. The thread was created two years ago, and Curry choked. He did it again. Now you're "best of 5".
2nd round
1st. They aren't beating OKC.
So the thread was meant as a Curry diss for what in your opinion was a choke from him two years ago? I thought it was to express that he was an "overrated chucker" like it says in the OP. If this wasn't the case why did you keep defending the idea of Curry being an "overrated chucker" throughout the thread and defending it still 'till now instead of clarifying that you made the thread for a specific choke that happened two years ago and that the label "overrated chucker" wasn't meant for him in a general term?
Curry was chucking late into games even though he'd be missing shots. He'd be taking 28' shots early in the shot clock. The team ran a high screen and roll but Curry tended to shoot off the pick instead of hitting the roller. Basically the perimeter game was to screen to get Curry an open look. Several of you think he's above the "good look" criteria for shot selection, that any shot he takes is a good look. His 3pt% doesn't agree with that. He also believed that, which is why he'd chuck his team out of the game, just like Kobe would do and did do against OKC. I said that Klay was a better option much of the time, and several of you scoffed at it.
I've stated countless times in this thread that Curry could change if he had the right coach. Under Mark he wanted to be like Kobe. You could see it in his style of play. Several of you who only pop in during a cherry picked moment have no idea what this thread is even about.
I think OKC will be in 7th. They'll beat SA.
1-At no point in time Curry played (or wanted to be) like Kobe, you could realize that by watching the games and/or checking the stats.
2-No, Klay isn't a better option than Curry.
3-You still haven't explained why you keep arguing 'till today, even with the change of coach and all that.
I disagree. Wanting to be like someone and being like someone are two different things.
Stats aren't the only attribute of a player/person.
More selective interpretation.
2-No, Klay isn't a better option than Curry.
Klay is a better option than the 28' heave.
You and your ilk keep bumping it. You bumped it this time. You probably don't watch the games, only look at box scores and highlights. If so, you have no idea what I'm talking about, and certainly no idea about what you're talking about. You're not even committed to this argument.
3-You still haven't explained why you keep arguing 'till today, even with the change of coach and all that.
Well, Curry didn't seem to want to be nor he played similar to Kobe. And no, stats don't tell the whole story but they help. In this case by watching Curry play and analyzing his stats I can surely assess that he's far from being a ballhog.
You make it sound like Curry attempts crazy off balance three pointers regularly when that's not the case. Aside from a heat check here or there he plays within the flow of the offense and that's easy to see to everyone that watches the Warriors semiregularly.More selective interpretation.

So? Just because someone bumps this thread it means you have to defend the re ed premise behind it no matter what?You and your ilk keep bumping it. You bumped it this time, got.
The fact that Curry's point production during wins was lower than during losses ties him to Kobe and Lillard. I'm sure you have no problem acknowledging that Kobe's 40 point nights often led to losses but you give Curry a pass at the same time. This year Curry's points follow team wins/losses. You have ignored the facts, like the others who hit and run post. In fact I mentioned this very thing to you early last year and you didn't acknowledge it then either. No wonder you're lost.
Curry was attempting crazy, off balance 3 pointers regularly. Just look at the 4th quarter of their last game against SA 2 years ago. They were up 16 at the beginning of the quarter.You make it sound like Curry attempts crazy off balance three pointers regularly when that's not the case. Aside from a heat check here or there he plays within the flow of the offense and that's easy to see to everyone that watches the Warriors semiregularly.
Oh but they aren't crazy when he takes them.
And these are pro-Curry. Look at some of those shot selections, even though he made them, then go ahead and make him the exception.
When the same someone pretends the OP has been defending the OP since it was OP.So? Just because someone bumps this thread it means you have to defend the re ed premise behind it no matter what?

DMC You are one stupid Mother er, he took two heat check shots in the video you posted. Everything else was within the flow of the offense. It was either him shooting off a pass from a teammate, going to the rack or, creating something off the dribble. Are you ing blind?
So now chucking is heat checking during a fast break 8' beyond the 3pt line. OK. WWE is real as well, you know. I mean sure they sometimes know who's going to win, but you can't tell me they aren't really hitting each other. I've seen it.
Losing to the 8th seed is a chokejob, end of story. Warriors will probably get a pass for it, though, since they're the media glory boys.
