Basketball heads, is Steph Curry stoppable?

[FukyourFort]

id rather let him score than play make and get his other teammates in a rhythm. otherwise you can't stop him really. hes a dead eye shooter off the dribble and is not afraid of contact. Hes mastered the floater with both hands and has crazy touch around the rim. what can you do? really?

Also if you're going to double and try and let the rest of his team beat you then you can't turn it over and you have to play at a snail's pace. Can't let them get up and down and get open 3s.

The Cavs have been letting the Hawks get a lot of open shots, they just aren't dropping (Hawks haven't shot well in the playoffs). Warriors will make you pay.

The Cavs have been letting everyone except Korver get open. It's on purpose. They don't respect Teague, Schroder, Millsap, or Horford's shot.

Exactly. Wizards did the same thing.

Can do that on the Dubs though...they can catch team fire like it's NBA Jam. Especially at home.

You can't stop Steph that boy is on another level..you can contain him by sending doubles but Golden State got too many weapons your gonna get killed.

 

[WhoShotCha]

No.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

I think Kawhi can stop him but

 

[ALonelyDad]

I have been hearing him being compared to shaqs prime by many ppl

 

[twan83]

I think Kawhi can stop him but

we out tho

i wont say kawhi could stop him he can slow him down or contain him at certain points of the game but he would still get his but it would effect his defense greatly and make his accuracy go down a lot more tho

we use green and kawhi to neutralize both as best as possible were tailor made for them as they are tailor made for us too
is what it is

The Rockets lost by less than 4 and left Curry open. Harden can win a game when the deficit is 0-4 between winning and losing. The Rockets just need to finish.

Curry has the sickest shot off the dribble that I ever seen. I once thought Jordan was the best in that category; however, Jordan didn't have the range that Curry has. Many other players like Reggie Miller and Larry Bird were money from the outside, but neither have the crafty handles like Curry and can hit those 25+ long range shot from everywhere with accuracy.

 

[Malta]

Nope, you basically just hope his shot is off.


The Cavs are going to need to send traps, hard doubles and basically leave Iman on him all game with help coming. You have to double him at this point and tell whoever is guarding Klay to stay at home, make Green/Barnes be the ones to shoot the 3s. This dude is taking 11 threes a game right now and making 5, that is just

I actually agree. No one can stop Curry but a player with the physical traits (pause), athleticism, skills, and competitiveness of a Kawhi can certainly slow him down. This was the matchup I wanted to see (Curry v Kawhi, GSW v SA) other than healthy OKC v GSW. I feel robbed.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

They're other sharp shooters on the squad.... So its difficult........ If they're weren't, of course you could slow him down....

 

[AkaDemiK]

Breh, curry plays team basketball not ISO ball like Kyrie and iverson. That's why he is so dangerous.

He's getting so many open catch and shoot threes vs Houston is

That's why someone said you gotta defend gsw as a team. It's not about stopping curry like he's a one man army. It's about out smarting him as the head of the team

or just taking him out of his game like Tony Allen did.

that's cool....but u said he doesnt break ankles....what steph curry have you been watching for years?

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

But Chris Paul is the best point guard!
