Too bad he doesn't play for you.
I said I watch GS semi regularly and for me Curry is not a chucker.
Too bad he doesn't play for you.
lol I like how you conveniently ignore the facts and just go with the eyeball test after you've shown stats.
i watch when i can, but i'm not going to lie about how often i watch the warriors play
Well, 'cause if I bring up stats like I just did you will find a way to spin it any way you like it with eyeball test theories, so what's the point?
I've already covered the volume shooters. You basically differentiated between Kobe and Curry because of the volume shooting. Kobe's shots were primarily 2pt shots. He was never an elite 3pt shooter. He did chuck from out there, especially in crunch time situations, however he got most of his shots inside the arc and at the rim. Curry doesn't take a lot of shots inside the arc. This year he's averaging over 8 3pt shots a game and only 5 2pt shots. Kobe, on the other hand, even in years when he's led the league in scoring, took 1600 2pt shots, and only 324 3pt shots. So for that reason you cannot compare Steph's volume shooting to Kobe's. You also cannot dismiss a 3pt shot attempt as if it's the same as a layup attempt. It's not. It doesn't make the defense work unless you've moved the ball around and found the open shooter, and because of Steph's assist numbers, it's evident the ball only moves one time before the shot unless you think Steph is the only person on the team who can pass to an open shooter.
So your stats do not indicate anything you think they do. However, the fact that Steph takes the most 3pt shots in the league, and is barely in the top 30 in 3pt% is a telling stat. It says at least one of two possibilities is true: either Steph is taking unwise shots or he's not that good of a 3pt shooter. We both know he's a great 3pt shooter, so that leaves the shot selection.
But you will attempt to disagree with the points I make when I do watch the games. To be honest, you've not actually made any real rebuttals. You've done absolutely zero to disprove the OP assertion. You've been more focused on me than on Curry.
you can go back and read the 22 pages and i've talked plenty about curry and his play style, so dont feed me that. i could be intellectually dishonest and tell you i watch games that i don't. i watch their games when i can, which i guess is not as often as you
Actually you haven't. I've laid out volumes of technical observations and you've just given quips.
half of this thread is you just not answering my simple questions
Summarize the points you've made in this thread.
do i look like ing siri to you?
It's not like I am asking you to tell me the best 5 PGs in the league. You cannot summarize so I'll do it for you:
"Nuh uh"
If you thought you already knew the answer, why bother asking the question? The material was all there, you could find in on your own with some time investment. I can't search anywhere for "DMC's top 5 point guards" so the Siri thing doesn't apply there
You're just a philopolemic crab with nothing to offer the discussion.
You can see that you asked for the best 5 PGs in the league today. You later changed the question to ask for my personal favorites, but your original question is posted above.
Again, every time I challenge you to provide a rational, coherent synopsis of your position on this, you balk and instead go full on re .
there is no objective "top 5 point guards in the league" so the two questions are the same. i didn't ask for your "favorites" i asked you who the 5 best were
i dont need to give you a synopsis. its a big thread. look around.
^ more pointless bickering without taking a position
Either post all the box scores or none of them, otherwise it looks like you MIGHT be cherry picking games
I didn't post the box score from the colossal fail they had a couple nights ago so your claim is already false.
Anyhow I've made my point and everyone is well aware of it now. Those who know basketball agree with me, and those who just latch onto players will cherry pick performances and box scores to suit their lust.
I watched the game last night. The only "bad shot" i really remember he took was when he took a crazy pull-up 3 with 30 seconds left in the first half, which was a Manu-esque 2 for 1 attempt. It happened to go in. did you watch the game?
Then based on that game Stephen is doing exactly what he should be doing, and he's a statistical anomaly and will carry his team to the Finals.
putting words in my mouth = making your point
