They just got destroyed down low by Monroe..We would really need a big LMA series to expose their underbelly..if Softridge gets punked by Green we are toast..
Yeah, but the Pacers didn't start scoring until after the game was no longer in doubt, and the Dubs just matched them point-for-point. Their defense is far better than many people realize.

ing frauds.
Spurs HAVE to feed Lamarcus in the post all day against Draymond. Curry is such a scrub on defense, Parker will have to be aggressive
BUMP'd for truth!!
And it wasn't a fluke. With the game in striking distance for pretty much the entire 4th quarter, the Bucks feasted in the paint... they got literally anything they wanted, and the Warriors' defense was helpless. That's the blueprint to beat the Warriors... you have to force feed the paint and then deny Curry as much as possible, making the other guys beat you. I'm confident Spurs will beat the Warriors in no less than 6 games, but probably 5.
YES. Warriors can't defend the paint for . Teams lose against them because they fall behind and then panic and jack up threes, but Warriors are quick and athletic and guard the 3 extremely well. But that doesn't change the fact they CAN'T GUARD THE DAMN PAINT FOR . We saw it in the Finals last year, if the Cavs just had a little more shooting they would have won that series.
Green is a fake tough guy full of fake emotion that *ain't about this life*. Kind of like Abaka, to be honest.
lol they lose 1 game in 25 tries and suddenly they are overrated.
Good lord.
Made the thread near the end of the Pacers game... lrn2readtheir paint D has always been but the league is full of millennials who mindlessly think they can beat them in a 3 point shooting contest.
Lol they were getting Bulls comparisons and people say they were properly rated
Lmao
Well on the bright side at least no more BSPN sucking
they 4 games ahead of a historical spurs team. theyre the champs. they have the best offensive player in the league. ESPN will reload.
Not historical, Spurs were 20–4 in 2001-02, not to mention 25–3 in 2010-11 when RJ was balling out for us well before he inexplicably went lame. As I've mentioned before we were 46–9 that year and handily in first place overall until the injuries began to mount and ultimately crush us. (Bulls finished first overall and Spurs lost to 8th seed)
iverson led the league in steals and he has NEVER been a good defender. steals does not always determine if you are playing good defense. I stillhave no idea why people continue to bring it up
agree, Bowen never sniffed the leaderboard in either steals or blocks. A miss and a defensive rebound is just as good as a block and a rebound or a steal, and obviously better than a block out of bounds.
You bumped it recently so no need to read the entire thread to get the gist of what you're saying. It's just wrong.
Curry is a ing liability, gtfo![]()
- #3 in the league among point guards in D-RPM, only behind Rubio and Lowry
- #4 in steals per game. steals are a poor way to solely judge a player's defense (see bowen) but it's just one of the factors here
- On/Off numbers are through the roof (defensively)
or you can just say "he's a liability" with nothing to back it up![]()
Well, this reddit post outlines it pretty well:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NBASpurs/co...rriors_game_2/
its a reddit post that was written by a spurs fan who outlined one game while basically trying to on curry the entire time
lets go back and analyze kawhi's defense in the first warriors matchup and make our judgments based on that one, too
Curry is the definition of a system defender though. Hes a better defender than guys like westbrook because hes actually a smart player. The problem with curry is when teams start attacking him, that's when he becomes a liability.
Otherwise, hes a smart player that plays within his teams defensive schemes without making idiot mistakes like westbrook.
Curry ranges from average to good defensively. He's not "elite", but he's sure as not a liability either.
I don't think he's elite per se, coach nick is over the top. Apa's assessment works. But people who just say he's a liability or socks defensively are just uneducated
amen brother
nice video
Anybody that watches Steph every game knows that hes a quality defensive player for his size
