Anybody watching this Lillard vs Curry shootout?

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...

That's his reputation. A league wide poll of best defensive PG will probably get Paul or Wall, even though both aren't actual elite defenders.

Being a good defender off ball is really important and he's better 1on1 than people give credit for. Warriors having strong help defenders is key but every PG is looking bad defensively without support b/c none of them can guard a star without a lot of help.

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

warrior fan logic is so obvious its fking hilarious.

if opposing point guard struggles curry played amazing D he shut him down!!!!!

if opposing point guard goes off b curry wasnt guarding him much that game!!!! it was klay! it was livingston!! it was iggy!!

moving the goal posts every time to make excuses for curry being a terrible defender

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

Has a lot to do with Draymond. His ability to put the ball on the floor after the catch and make a play is vital to their P&R attack. Its the fact that Kareem would have to become the P&R defender that creates an issue, they'd badly expose his lack of mobility on the perimeter.

The message is - dudes use box scores to underline their narratives instead of looking at how those PGs scored their points.

You're a boxscore pusher until the boxscore don't agree with your narrative.

Tell us more about the legendary Draymond Green

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.

Curry barely checked Westbrook and everybody knows that was because Russ kept abusing him in the post

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.

No he did score it on Curry. Because Curry is the guy who let him get scorching hot. Maybe...just maybe... if Curry does let the other point guard drop 14 or 16 or 18 on him in a quarter, he never ever gets to 40 or 50. Or do you think these point guards effortlessly scoring tons of buckets on Curry has nothing to do with them dropping these ridiculous point totals on him?

Go ahead and post the first 2 minutes of that OKC GS game and let's break down every play. I will point out here every basket was either a westbrook assist or score and you will point out...well...I don't know because that is all they did in the first two minutes...Westbrook just ran down the floor and cooked steph 1 on 1 and it ended up with an easy score for him or someone else.

And what is all of this "he picked up blah blah blah foul?" shyt? So what Who cares? Why is this important?

He is a good defender huh? How come shooting guards aren't dropping 40 on GS? Or small forwards? Or big men? How comes is always point guards How come it's always the guy who is steph curry direct matchup, since he is not big enough or athletic enough to guard any other position on the floor

"B-but-but he picked up a foul on Kevin Durant so it wasn't his fault"

 

[thelonious21]

Y'all legit had a big three in Dame, LMA and Wes. Batum capable of big shots too. But Wes Matthews was crazy effective. I wonder if him getting hurt was what really seal the deal for LMA leaving.

It is... i remember reading something last season where he was like a huge fan of Matthews.. and was on some ish with dame

I mean, I just told you he did guard him for significant portions of that game and wasn't abused in the post. If you won't believe it then whatever but look at the game again and you'll see differently

"B-but-but he picked up a foul on Kevin Durant so it wasn't his fault"

Sure, let's break down the first 2 mins of the game. All of his possessions where he either scored or assisted

First possession: Westbrook post up, Adams sets a good screen on Curry, Bogut helps which leads to an open dunk

Second possession: Westbrook, a 29% 3PT shooter, hits a contested three

That's it. Durant hit a pull up and drove for a layup the possessions afterward. That was the 9-0 start, it makes no sense to pin that on Curry.

Curry wasn't responsible for Lillard, Lowry or Wall's hot starts to those games. Look at the shots Chris Paul hit in his 1st Q and tell me that's Curry's fault.

Him picking up a foul was in response to the claim that he was taken off WB b/c he was getting abused. That's not what actually happened.

A shooting guard and small forward dropped 40 on the Warriors in the past two weeks. Positions aren't relevant here

the fukk do you want, I was born in Oakland, live in Oregon

Nah I'm not watching shyt

You should rewatch the game man. This time, focusing on nothing else but those two. That's what I just did. I don't post stuff without backing it up with some research

lot of the time you get people seeing what they want to see, rather than what actually happened. Lot of people wanted to see WB snatch Steph's soul that night
