David does not space the floor homie. Teams leave him open from mid range all the time, he hasnt even attempted the shot much this year. He will dribble in and try to back his man down or face up and drive. Again, you're trying to school me on my team that I watch every game on all season.

:aicmon: I'm not trying to school anyone. How can he try to back his man down if he's open? :rudy: You really think I don't watch games; tryin' to tell me that Steph is the only one that get's double-teamed. :rudy:http://www.sfgate.com/sports/ostler/article/Thompson-steps-up-his-game-for-Warriors-4997920.php :rudy:

Because this is a ISO team. He gets the ball at the top of the key and will literally turn his back down and do a post move which he is great at or drive and do an unorthodox hook with either hand which he is also great at. That article proves nothing, they double teamed him in a game Curry MISSED.
Again, Novak as been a train wreck for the longest and katz still guard him because at any moment, he can be a threat.
You are losing the little credibility you had by continually comparing Lee's jumper to a Steve Novak.

This is a team that drafted players like Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy and never did shyt except that one time in 2007 and last year. Sure Mark Jackson isn't the greatest coach but we have a relatively healthy team and should make the playoffs.

Warriors fans aren't greedy. I was at the Staples Center on Sunday and it was pathetic watching laker "fans". Oracle was more alive even when the Warriors sucked.

Maybe you didn't understand the question. Everything you described with David requires a defender to be guarding him. He can't do any of that if he's left wide open, as you claimed. I went with that example in that article to see if you'd try to circumvent the point and you did. :ohhh:It means nothing that Curry wasn't in the game. You said “Curry isnt the only one who spaces the floor but he definitely is the only one that gets double teamed”, frontin' like he's the only shooter that warrants double-teaming. Aren't they called “the Splash Brothers”? :rudy: More dishonesty, in that, you claim I compared Lee and Novak's skills when I actually compared how people treat them. :rudy:

There's nothing quick about that video but I'm in the last 5 mins of the 3rd quarter of this Knick game because I didn't get to see it the night it aired and Curry has only taken one contested shot (unless you count the veeery few times Felton contested him) and it was over Pablo (he missed, btw); the rest were off of screens and switches (mostly screens). 1:20 into the 1st quarter, the commentators joked about this, saying, “ok that's a monster screen right there, and dropped in the 3, you'll never get open like that in half-court, with O'neal and Speights setting screens like that, Steph could have a field day”.

Well according to @ZemaPromos if Curry stops taking shots away from the rest of our hall of famers we will be unstoppable :whoo:

:heh: You have mastered dishonesty for advantage in a debate. You asked what other options he had besides takin' all those shots and I told you. :stopitslime: He's on a team with dudes averaging 18.5ppg on 52.3% from the field, 56.7% True Shooting (David) and 18.1ppg on 54.7% True Shooting (Klay). You act like he's in Boston or something. You caping for this dude like it ain't no tomorrow. :whoo:

That video is highlights of Lee's offense, you obviously wouldnt want to watch it because it would prove my point that Lee isnt sitting there shooting mid range shots. I cant believe a non Warriors fan is trying to tell me about my own team :snoop: Of course Klay is gonna get double teamed when Curry ISNT playin dumb nikka, you couldnt do that with Curry there because he would be open for a 3. Why the fukk do I need to be dishonest abou tmy OWN team? You think im rooting against Klay and Lee? :mindblown: You're watching the Knicks game? A game where Curry damn near shot 50% while the rest of the team shot 35% what point are you trying to prove? AND NO ONE IS fukkING RESPECTING LEE'S JUMPER THE WAY THEY RESPECT NOVAK FROM 3, WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO nikka, WATCH ANY DAVID LEE HIGHLIGHT VIDEO FROM THIS YEAR.

Heres a thread from a Warriors forum made yesterday specifically title "Stephen Curry and The Offense" Read the OP's post and then come back and tell me you know more about the Warriors team than Warriors fans http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1313076

I might watch the clip. My bad. I thought you were sayin' it was of Curry. I just saw that it was 4:20 long but I still might watch it. Lee doesn't have to hit mid-range jumpers to space the floor. To space the floor just means that you have to be good enough at scoring that you keep the defense honest, in that they don't leave you to double, or for any other reason. Lj is one of the worst mid-range jump-shooters in the league (33%:scusthov:) but defenses aren't just going to ignore him because he'll beat you with his size and speed for dunks and layups. This is what Spo means when he always says “NY's vertical spacing is so good” because Tyson is so good at setting screens for his own dunks if you try to stay with shooters. Lee spaces the floor. Defenses aren't just gonna leave a guy who averages 18.5ppg on 52.3% from the field and 56.7% True Shooting, no matter how he gets those points. They don't care if it's mid-range jump-shooting or if it's as you said,“he will dribble in and try to back his man down or face up and drive”. I'm not dumb and I wouldn't be a nikka, even if I was a man (not sayin' men are nikkas; just acknowledging that y'all call each other that). In this Knicks game, with 1:25 left in the 3rd, Klay gets doubled with Curry in the game, then Curry is wide open and misses the 3. With 7:20 left in the 4th, Klay is doubled again with Curry in the game and the commentator even says, “they're doubling Klay every time”. Klay, then, passes to Iggy for the dunk and he misses because JR fouls him.

My point is Steph ain't the only one that people ain't tryin' to leave open. He's not the only one who gets doubled, as you falsely claimed. This is part of why Klay struggled. The injury to his nose, and the subsequent need to be benched for so long, might have taken him out of rhythm, but the doubling kept him out of rhythm. He's a guy that opponents need out of rhythm. That's one of the reasons to double. I ain't tryna prove nothin'. I just answered your question. I understand that there are some nights, like that Knicks game, where Curry has to take more shots than pass-first pg's like Rondo, CP3, and Parker. 'Melo has this problem every night but with those guys on Curry's team, there's no need for the PG to average 17.6 shots per game; just like Lj doesn't need to do it in Miami but he does. I agree with the original poster that Curry is gettin' a pass that others don't and that he does inexplicably chuck (and, badly) at times. He did so at least twice, and badly, in the Knicks game. Once, on the Warriors' last possession of the half, and again, with 2:10 left in the 4th. :manny:
