This might be the worst thread of the season, and that's saying a lot.
Bay Area
Raiders/Warriors/A's
He is averaging almost 24 points per game, just under 9 assists per game and he has the 3rd best FG percentage amongst point guards but he is a ball hog?
You make this thread after tonights loss yet he was the only person scoring while the rest of the team combined for like 17-56

Empire strikes back
steph and klay (especially klay) are either hot or coldpeople blame mark Jackson for stagnant offense but steph takes about 5 or more Westbrook like shots every game
then again hes so good its ok, especially when he gets hot
streaky as fukkwarriors are really a 'shooting streak' team. they'll win if klay or steph have good shooting games and theyll lose if they dont
if warriors could somehow change that dependency, theyd be much better of a team, but thats more of a coaching question.
and its hard to really blame jackson for letting them shoot, but no team that relies on outside shooting like that, however good the shooters, is going deep imo. playoffs is show and prove for mark to prove otherwise.

That's what I tell people who blame Jackson, this team is going to shoot itself into the finals or into a first round exit.
it is what it is

Ehhhh, he's not ball hogging breh. He's the catalyst for that offense. They rely on him to score a lot and when he attracts attention to pass to the open guy and work a lot of screen action.
If you wanna see ball hogging watch the Hawks when Lou Williams is on the floor
I say it's only ball hogging when your tendency to overshoot and steal away possessions is so pervasive it truly leads to a bunch of L's for your team or it disrupts the normal flow of the offense. We can't say that about Steph curry. He takes a lot of tough shots, but he takes those shots because a lot of the times Golden State is at its best is when he's making those shots, in other words, there is actually sets where they want him to take those shots, regardless of their difficulty.

with Jordans & Nikes exploding on the court... can you blame him? Plus he was wearing Nikes and had all types of ankle issues
Those under armors are dope tho, and they seem to keep his ankles with better support.

Yeah that formula is a recipe for disaster in the playoffs. They just have to hope their shooters can catch heat once the playoffs start and stay on fire until the finalssteph and klay (especially klay) are either hot or cold
