Big deal. They all either play or have played PG this year. When Durant doesn't have to play PG, he barely has any assists and only passes 38 times per game.

Curry tries to adjust based on how his team is doing. He does need to get better at adjusting to what the other team is doing.
He does have ball-hog moments but he also gets too passive at times. He'll figure it out.

yall see him ball hog for the game winner?
op lost and is a fakkit
We out
That's why!
Didn't look like a “game-winner” to me. It looked more like a “game-tying shot to send it into double ot” , considering this atrocious non-call for this goal-tend.

That's a 50/50 call. It looks like it hit the backboard but not quite. It looks like it may have been on the way down, but it also looks like JO dragged the ball down.
These kinds of plays should be reviewable.

I didn't even notice it bounced off of the backboard.
It was on it's way down too. You can't just jump up and corral it off of the backboard, and while it's flying toward, and in the hoop.

Wait where did I imply klay needs more shots!? Your whole argument was Curry was taking shots from Klay. Klay had 18 attempts in the Knicks game but that didnt stop your tirade. Stating facts isnt caping, you're so ignorant about my team that im going to keep correcting you. By the way if you actually watched the Dallas game last night it proved my point, Curry was being hounded with double teams which left everyone else open. Curry has the most 30 and 10 games in the league this season. You keep bringing up that true FG percentage bs yet fail to post Currys. Advance stats need to be put into context.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?
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.
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. Once, on the Warriors' last possession of the half, and again, with 2:10 left in the 4th.
You caping for this dude like it ain't no tomorrow.

Again, you need to actually watch games. Dirk was fouling like crazy the whole gane yet the refs werent giving us calls. We had 6 total FT attempts, it even out. Also Curry has hit 4 game winners this season. Women should not try to teach men the game of basketball especially when they cant admit they are wrong.

“Tirade”? I can't, with you stans. I thought we were just having a conversation? Keep correcting me? When did you do so the 1st time? I proved that most of Curry's buckets are off of screens (this, more than anything), switches, other plays drawn to free him up, David and Klay spacing the floor (like when Klay kept being double-teamed in the Knicks game), and teams falling asleep when I said, “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 few times Felton contested him) and it was over Pablo (he missed, btw); the rest were off of screens and switches (mostly screens)”. Don't make me post that 54pt game when a minimum of 12 of his 18 made fg's were wide open. This isn't even counting the ones he missed. I proved that David spaces the floor with stats and your own words when I said, “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%
) 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”. You “addressed” all this evidence with “Did Steph hold back Klay tonight? Curry was once again being double teamed all game and he still continues to carry this team and get others involved.”
Wait, the Dallas game proved that “Curry is the only one who gets double-teamed” but the Knicks game didn't disprove that falsehood? Well, let me quote it again, then: “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”. Wait, so, Klay and David's FG% and PPG (which, you conveniently left out) “need to be put into context” but Curry's don't?
So, all the missed calls were ok? Especially the one late in the game?
You don't really believe that. That's just a thing to say. I can't believe you actually typed that and hit send. Maybe you should just bow out because that was embarrassing. Again, . I bet you wouldn't be saying that if they had given the game to the Mavs. Men shouldn't say stupid things like “no woman knows just as much about sports as no man on Earth” when interest is the determining factor of that truth-claim, not gender. Men should all the more refrain from that kind of talk when they purposely skip over evidence because they can't disprove it. I mean, not only have you resorted to to skipping over evidence (click here), but also pulling the gender card because you can't back up your claims.

You havent been correct about shyt. Klay spaces the floor with 3's no shyt but David is NOTTTTTTTTT a jump shooter and his shot certainly isnt as respected by defenders as Steve Novak. You are comparing the way defenders guard the best player in the world (Lebron James) to how they guard David fukkING Lee
He shoots a high fukking percentage because he plays in the POST and is elite at finishing around the rim. You keep avoiding highlight footage but that would tell you all you need to know in a matter of seconds. All players get double teamed once in a while but teams specifically gameplan to keep the ball out of Currys hands. Klay gets more time on the court with the second unit than Curry does. If Klay needed MORE shots (which is a ridiculous fukking notion) then he could take as many as he wanted while hes the best player on the court with the 2nd unit.
Now you want to play the "so all the missed calls were OK game"
dont cry about a missed call when one fukkin possession earlier Dirk fouled klay on a drive but he didnt get to the line.Look broad, the ultimate point is that this thread and your stance on Curry is coming from a point of ignorance. The Warriors are 32-10 when the starting 5 is healthy aka the best record of any starting 5 in the league and have the 3rd best road record in the NBA even despite all the injuries. The premise that someone is a ball hog when they are averaging almost 24 points and under 9 assists a game is fukkin dumb. In your theory, if Curry was passing the ball more to everyone else he would have the most assists in the league. No im not a stan im a fukking lifelong Warriors fan who knows what Curry means to my team. Since you tend to skim over the important stuff ill bold the main point. Injuries and a lack of bench for the first half of the season are why the Warriors struggled at times NOT Curry.

and lay down your cape. So, a starter who averages 18.5ppg (you keep leaving his ppg out
) on 52.3% from the field and 56.7% True Shooting and gets paid over 13M is given less respect by defenders than a bench guy who averages 5ppg for his career and 3.5 this season? Is that what you want me to believe ? That the story that you're sticking to? Conveniently leaving out his ppg on that FG%. Frontin' like we're talkin' bout Tyson Chandler here. I see you. 
Twisting my words again for an advantage in debate by saying I compared the way they guard Lj and Lee. I see you , but I'll indulge you. You claimed that because Lee's jump-shooting is poor right now, that he doesn't space the floor, which means that they ignore him. I pointed out that, “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%) but defenses aren't just going to ignore him because he'll beat you with his size and speed for dunks and layups.

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”. It's very ironic and even more telling that you would say, “he shoots a high percentage because he plays in the POST and is elite at finishing around the rim. You keep avoiding highlight footage but that would tell you all you need to know in a matter of seconds” to disprove my point about Lj. Lj has no post game and certainly not a mid-range jumper but he's big, strong, fast, and elite finishing around the rim. No one respects Wall's jumper but they do respect his speed and ability to finish around the rim. They do respect his 19.9 ppg on 52.7% TS. With the missed calls, don't miss this, you're the only one saying they're ok. Everyone else is just saying that they did occur. Moreover, FT's that may or may not be made (like when Durant was blatantly hit on the arm at the end of game 1 of the Finals in 2012) isn't the same as a goal-tend. Would he be averaging almost 24 points if he wasn't taking 17 shots? No. It's like saying Lj should take 33 shots per game because he'll score 61 points and have 5 assists. With those guys on his team, there's no reason he can't be like Rondo when he had the big 3. What's wrong with a PG leading the league in assists?
No one argued “the reason the Warriors struggled”. The argument is that Curry is gettin' a pass that others don't and that he does inexplicably chuck (and, badly) at times.
