so were you talking out of your ass there? or just lying
Here we're talking about last night's game. Never did I say he's never missed more than 3 shots in a row from outside. Just that he wasn't missing last night and he didn't just score from outside.
You're point is that you're trying to say that a missed shot in the flow of the offense is the same as a missed shot taken wildly or an ill advised shot. Your defense for that is that Curry gets a special pass for wild ass shots because he sometimes hits them. What defeats your argument is that Curry went 5 for 16 just a few nights ago, and doesn't seem to know when he's on or when he's not. He's not the first and won't be the last unbelievable shooter who takes ill advised shots, and his team won't be the last to suffer because their offense stagnates when he's their main option every trip. He goes into the post position (why I have no ing idea) and he hangs out there (which is why he got into foul trouble). Then he pops up, waits for Barnes or Green to set a pick and he flings up a wild ass shot or he heaves a no look pass across to Klay or a wing player. That's about all he does tbh. At the other end he's pretty much a traffic cone. Sure he gets a loose ball now and then, but he's a glorified Jeremy Lin, turnovers and all, otherwise.
You keep telling me not to use outlier games, then you go and hang your hat on Curry's ty exhibition the other day. The long-term stats validate what I'm going for. He's an efficient shooter and scorer so your "they go in sometimes" is bogus.
Secondly, you think you understand the psyche of Kevin Love to confidently tell me that had he missed his first 3 shots he would have stopped taking them, when there is nothing to indicate that. Love takes more shots per game than Curry does, and on a lower percentage.
So I guess to answer my previous question, you weren't necessarily lying, just talking out of your ass.
When I am referring to a specific game, like you did with Kevin Love in last night's game, I want to stick to that game. You cannot drag up a different game to try to prove me wrong or inconsistent about what I said pertaining to last night's game.
That's different than showing that Curry's hall pass for wild shooting isn't warranted. It's not a single game argument.
Hit me up when he takes 16 threes in one game.Secondly, you think you understand the psyche of Kevin Love to confidently tell me that had he missed his first 3 shots he would have stopped taking them, when there is nothing to indicate that.

You're the liar. You've said as much.So I guess to answer my previous question, you weren't necessarily lying, just talking out of your ass.
at least you didn't deny talking out of your ass, which was apparent
Your rapid fire style of response indicates you're both agitated and not even reading what I am writing. You have an unhealthy, unwarranted fetish for Curry. Maybe you're Indian, maybe he suits your tastes because he's a hero baller. You do seem to like hero ballers. You've been defending Curry from the first page, when you were naive about his celebrations, and when shown the light, you downplayed it as a normal celebration.
Arguing with confirmation bias is a waste of time. He's a chucker. Just accept that and move on. You've not provided anything to counter it, you just nay say. You're like a mosquito.
What about the OP is incorrect? What about the thread le is incorrect? Any and all of your excuses can be used for Kobe as well.
1. No other options (Kobe's mentality)
2. Best shooter on the floor (Kobe thinks this as well)
3. Hits shots that most people should not even take (yep, Kobe again)
4. Has a track record of hitting difficult shots (again.. Kobe)
What you ignore:
1. Team's success rests on his luck on otherwise ill advised shots
2. Coach encourages it until it doesn't work
3. He has other options
4. He plays no defense
5. He stagnates the offense as 4 others stand around waiting for him to shoot
That's Kobe to the letter.
Wow, Curry with one of the most selfish possessions I've ever seen to lose the game, tbh..
I didn't see it. What occurred?
Warriors were down 2 with the ball, Curry was covered by PJ Tucker on an isolation, he couldn't shake him and instead of passing it out, he dribbled away the entire shot clock, pump faked, and bricked a contested runner to essentially end the game..
Yeah but he hit that last second stat padding shot. Look at his box score! How can you blame him?Warriors were down 2 with the ball, Curry was covered by PJ Tucker on an isolation, he couldn't shake him and instead of passing it out, he dribbled away the entire shot clock, pump faked, and bricked a contested runner to essentially end the game
Because Curry is gifted, he can take that shot. No one else should and it's a really poor decision if anyone else makes it, but Curry is different. He's a baller.
From my view at the game (granted, I was like 90 feet away), it looked like Tucker was allllll over him and the shot was the last option for Curry. His teammates weren't rushing to get open, though.
Just re-watched the play. Klay just stood there like an idiot, and so did the rest of Curry's teammates. The shot was his only option.
They had 2 timeouts remaining, tbh, and there would have been around 10 seconds remaining after he realized the play wasn't going anywhere, tbh..
Curry has a tendency to chuck bad shots in clutch time..
Too bad he didn't have Artest to his right being guarded by Pierce. tee, hee.Warriors were down 2 with the ball, Curry was covered by PJ Tucker on an isolation, he couldn't shake him and instead of passing it out, he dribbled away the entire shot clock, pump faked, and bricked a contested runner to essentially end the game
Or MVPau to carry him... tee, hee.
Aside from some heat checks here and there, Curry plays within the rythm of the offense.
BTW, Warriors need to trade Lee. They would be better with a "stretch 4" kind of player.
More 3s?
And more spacing, more speed, more defense, less cancer.
Media will cover for them. NYC won't let them die on the vine. They'll drag out the injury card and that right soon.
thats the only part that made sense tbh
