Ahh ok, agreed
You can pinpoint the moment that Curry's minutes caught up to him in the 4th. He missed a couple of jumpers fairly bad and he stopped moving well off the ball. Then he went into energy conservation mode and had a little built up in the 2nd OT do the runout on the terrible Manu bounce pass then hit the floater in the lane. No one can play that many minutes accounting for that much of the team's offense and still have legs to go 48 much less damn near 60
Ahh ok, agreed
Curry is easily the best shooting guard in the NBA.
This is on Thompson for his horrible fouls, Jackson for not giving him a break, and the Warriors as a team for going iso 15 times in the fourth quarter.
I know they are close, but do you really think that would have helped?
The kid played the entire game and was destroying the Spurs in a way not seen since Goran Dragic. This loss isn't on him and that was one of the best performances I've ever seen in the playoffs tbh.
His fade down the stretch was all on Jackson. They rode Curry for three quarters and he got little help especially in the third quarter. Brooks could do that with Westbrook and Durant because they shared the load. He sits Curry for 4 minutes at the start of the fourth and they probably win that game.
Jackson played his hand this game, he was going for the steal and decided to ride Curry the whole way, not they're ed
Curry dropped michael jordan numbers on the spurs tonight. They may have lost, but that is some dangerous skill.
ROFL. What a got OP. Spurs were one ridiculously fortunate, rainbow 3 away from losing to a 40pt/10dimes elite and then ing some performance.
I hate Spur fan that waits to swing their until AFTER the smoke clears.
They're not winning this series. That has never really been an issue. The only issue is short series or long.
Being "the man" on your team doesn't make you elite for the simple reason that there are not 30 elite players in the league at the same time, ever.
Have to give exstatic credit, he did cite the final minutes of DEN/GSW 6 as reason why Spurs would win this series.
No but there aren't 30 teams in the conference semis either. There's 8, and nobody but Lebron and shockingly Nate Robinson out of the teams left in the playoffs has shown to dominate a game like he did before getting gassed. I'd say his playoff performances so far make him and elite player in the making
There's the rub. You guys are as bad as the NBA media, annointing players before they've earned it.
Elite players close games. If their legs are gone, they find another way to do it other than continuing to miss long jumpers.
Tbh this is his first chance being his first playoff run, but the stats and impact he's had through 7 playoff games cannot be denied. The guy lit the 3 seed nuggets up and just lit the Spurs up in game 1. I agree with you that he's not on a TD-KD-Lebron type level of elite yet but he's just starting. Let's just hope he doesn't get the chance to do it this series.
exstatic is going ducks on Steph Curry.
Curry makes Reggie Miller look like a below average shooter.
I have flubbed neither grammar nor syntax. I am offended.exstatic is going ducks on Steph Curry.
He's not getting any better. He's never gonna be any good on D and is never gonna be able to finish at the rim against good d. He is what he is
Just wanna comment that I enjoy reading this thread with the old school commenting up in here.
Damn I miss the good ol' days.......
GO SPURS GO!
60
Curry is the first player ever to record 40+ points and 10+ assists in a playoff games against the spurs. EVER.
I hope Curry goes for 50 tomorrow, tbh. He's great but Manu taught him a big lesson tonight. No one will remember that Curry had 40+. But everyone will remember the three because it was at the righ time. Welcome to playoff basketball, Steph. Warriors are not ready for prime time pressure. That's two games in a row. They were lucky in Denver.
He torched us and he is elite. If his teamates played slightly better we lose. Be happy for the win because we surely didn't deserve it.
