Last thing Curry is, is a ballhog. Shyt sometimes I rather he shoot than pass to his bum ass teammates like last night no one besides him was doing anything.

how about we talk about his "defense"?

I don't know whos a worse defender between him and Lillard. pay attention to those dudes on that end of the court.. they are putrid.

How about we don't

It's impossible do D up the PGs in the game today

Name all the defensive PGs that actual translate their defense into wins

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 :skip:

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.

:why: let's leave crazy ass ignant ass lou out of this

He has to. He's a turnover machine also but he's suffering from that Melo disease where he has to do everything for his team to win cuz his supporting cast is :flabbynsick: he is streaky but for the most part he's on. His numbers for the season are solid tho :ehh:

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?

So, as long as you average 5+ assists, it doesn't matter how many shots you take when you're the PG? It was ok for Lj to give Wade and Bosh 7 and 8 shots each and take 26 for himself in the Pacers series last season because he had 6 assists?

:what: what the hell are you asking

lebron james is not a point guard and there is no basis for comparison between the two situations

He gives up 1 less point per hundred possessions than Raymond Felton. Does Felton get a pass, especially when Curry is 3 inches taller than Felton?
