This still the worst thread of the year. Look at tonight's game. Curry was looking around while time was runnin out in overtime presumably to pass but he said fukk it who's gonna take a better shot than me, created his own shot and knocked it down to win it

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:
Did Steph hold back Klay tonight? :camby:

Curry was once again being double teamed all game and he still continues to carry this team and get others involved.

Wait, you use a game where Klay had a good game on 24 attempts as the example to disprove that Klay should have more attempts? :damn: :whoo::mjlol::banderas::snoop: :damn: Moreover, I repeat: :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. 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.
