This muhfukka really just said "And arguably half the wins or more Curry wasn´t even the most important player on the team."

@Soundwave come and get your mans. :scust:
I ain't looked it up, but off the top of my head, Steph ain't lead them in scoring AT MOST prob 7 times. I think Klay is the only one to outscore him also.

That's why you never go by intuition but use facts instead breh. Of their wins (64) only, Curry wasn't his team's leading scorer 21 times, 19 of which were Klay. There were also several games where he wasn't even the second leading scorer. Another game he and Curry were tied for points but Klay had the better overall game. That means at least 22 times (over quarter of a season and more than a third of their total wins) Curry wasn't their sole leading scorer. And that's not even looking at games where Curry only had a few more points than the second leading scorer and the games where Draymond had a crazy all around performance contributing everywhere. Like I said, you can argue that for about half of their wins (32) Curry wasn't the one who most contributed to the w. Basically you only need 11 games where despite leading the team in scoring, Draymond or someone else arguably did more than Curry across the board. Given Draymond's huge impact and a few games where Iguodala and a few others had a key impact on the game, this is not far-fetched at all but rather a fair assessment. We all know Curry's never their best defender. He's also not leading the team in assists, Draymond is. While Curry may draw double teams which help his team mates get open, you can't say Curry is more responsible for the w in cases where Klay outscores him and plays better d than him. In any case, Curry relies heavily on Bogut and Draymond to get many of his buckets too. Overall, Curry is not the kind of player who still contributed the most to a win when he's not leading the team in scoring. Draymond, on the other hand, is almost the definition of such a player.

To come back to the original point though, it's ridiculous to claim Curry is having a better individual season than Jordan was in 87/88 because of the team's record. Not only did Curry not get that record by himself, but it's also a well established fact that a great individual performance does not necessarily translate to great team results.

You're saying a bunch of nothing in this post.

On the bold - not only are the base stats in conflict with your theory of him not being their most important player in half their wins or more, but in your attempt of continuing to dig this hole by creating this argument that is far from reality (you've been throwing shade on Curry all season - this comes as no surprise), you've left out all relative context to Curry's importance in their wins. All you've done is reference points scored and assists in wins (which like I said go against your theory), and brought up areas which Curry's not the strongest in. No mention of specific wins, how offense was generated in their wins, who carried them down the stretch in tight contests, who ran the offense, who attracted defensive attention to get players open, who was the deciding factor in close games, whose play they played off, who was responsible for getting them back into games etc etc.

You even had the nerve to say Curry relies HEAVILY on Bogut and Draymond to get many of his buckets too - not only is this blatantly false, but it's both Bogut and Draymond who rely on Curry, more than he does on them.

not anymore. there's no real defense for a guy that can hit shots like this on a consistent basis

(2:22)
he, like any perimeter player in the history of this game, can go cold but far more often than not he's on fire. a defense doesn't really force him to shoot poorly when he's comfortable taking shots that would be considered bad for anyone else in the league

Why didn't he hit those kinda shots vs San Antonio? :jbhmm: Fatigue will not be accepted as an excuse becuz he's sat out what 18 or something 4th quarters. That's damn near 5 games worth of 4th quarters.

The Spurs have the best D in the league bruh....they make shyt tough for ANYBODY. They have two of the best perimeter defenders in the league and was playing at home. Gotta remember that

I do hate how Warrior apologist were QUICK to use that "it was the second game on a back to back" crutch trying to discredit the Spurs win. Typical cop out
