Anybody watching this Lillard vs Curry shootout?

[Gyasi85]

Said it before and i'll say it again. Portland has a damn good squad and their roster depth is overlooked. They are primed to be one of the top dogs out west by the next 2-3 years. They sittin pretty good salary wise too. If they can obtain a stanley johnson/justice winslow type of 3 man they'll be super straight

Lillard abuses son like Zeke used to abuse John Stockton

 

[Gyasi85]

I don't get this post...Literally every single one of Paul's FG's in that 1st Q were well contested jumpers from 18ft out, and to begin with none of those players actually produced those lines on Curry but a multitude of defenders and the Warriors D as a whole. His defense on Conley was fine and Klay was already spending time guarding him in G2, didn't seem to matter much when he hit a dagger three in the 4th. Irving was guarded by Klay in G1 and he wasn't the more impactful player

Most people think he's a bad or subpar at best defender. I consider him good b/c of his high activity both on and especially off ball where he's a very good team defender.


...but he did guard Westbrook. And I've seen that dude make Chris Paul his personal bytch

You can't be serious

Curry started off guarding Russ,but Russ kept posting him up,and Warriors had to double,because Russ was hitting the open man and then Klay switched on Russ from the middle of the first until Halftime,Curry started guarding Russ again,but Russ started BULLYING Curry again then Livingston and Klay checked him for the rest of the game.

Quit making shyt up

I am. Got the entire game downloaded, the reason switched on WB is b/c Curry was in foul trouble not due to Westbrook abusing the matchup. The Warriors doubled Westbrook a single time in that time frame you're talking about, Curry guarded him more than anyone after he checked in mid 2nd Q. Klay checked out with 1:30 left.

What, do you remember that series between OKC and LA in '14? Paul couldn't do anything with him. But we don't talk about that and CP's reputation as a top defender remains intact.

I got so drunk last night cause of this game, man what a fukking ass whooping

Did you watch those games closely? They didn't score that on Curry and he didn't allow a single matchup to drop 40. That's massive hyperbole. Him guarding WB wasn't the reason OKC went on a 9-0 run, I don't know what you're even talking about there and one of his fouls were picked up swiping the ball against Durant.
I won't admit that because I think he is a good defender. People ITT are making the mistake of thinking Lillard, Lowry, Wall's point totals are because of him when they scored a huge portion of their points on other defenders. Like Lillard dropped 20 in the 4th when Curry wasn't even in the damn game yet didn't hit a single FG when guarded by him in the 2nd (was able to draw a 3rd foul on him though)

When I come across a post that I disagree with, I'll respond to it. It's that simple. Just so happens that the Warriors have just been the most discussed team in the league past two seasons so there's a lot of opportunities for me to talk about them especially on this board where ya'll go to crazy extremes.

I said Dray would guard Kareem fine with help from the Warriors team defense. Under today's rules, it's a lot easier to contain post up big men than it was back then. The actual point was that he'd make up for any adv Cap had in the post by exploiting him in the P&R and transition which you weren't accounting for at all.


It wasn't a few possessions, Curry spent significant time on Westbrook especially in the 3rd Q and would've remained on him in the 1st had he not picked up a 2nd foul on Durant. WB didnt bully anyone that game


You guys began the comeback in the 3rd Q and he guarded WB then. Klay did get the assignment for the large majority of the 4th though

My point here is that the notion of "Curry doesn't guard elite PG's" just isn't true, he does. The Warriors don't need to hide him anymore than the Clips do Paul

Go ahead and point out what's wrong with that post.

How the hell is Draymond exploiting anybody in the pick n roll?

The only reason that shyt works is because Steph makes such low percentage shots from behind the line that teams try to put two guys on him. It has nothing to do with Draymond. Steph makes that entire thing work

CP a top defender ? That news to me...I mean the boy Steph spun him around in 14 on some NBA action highlight reel shyt...but Chef is not a good defender...he good off ball...but you take Iguadala off that roster and stick Mark Jackson back behind that bench...and that boy going to get exposed something serious..with the system/scheme they have now..he can get away with it...until somebody figure out a way to defend them switches...

What was wrong with what he said?

We're supposed to believe it's just some coincidence that Curry's man is the one going off for 40+?

 

[Populair]

Some of you guys are ridiculous. Y'all do realize you aren't ACTUALLY part of these "teams" you support, right? Buddy was at a game live where a cat was going for fifty with amazing shots and he just hit up a long pull up three. shyt was entertaining, you can appreciate the shyt even if it's the "other" team. These franchises shouldn't own your constant unwavering support on some cult shyt.

Shut thee fukk up .

So what you're basically saying is you just look at box scores instead of watching games?
