Steph Curry is already better than CP3 ever was.

Last sentence in regards to Brons poor finals performance and the Heat as a whole?
It depends what you're asking though. I still viewed LeBron as the best player in the game (and as one of the best SFs ever, even at that point) during that season but I had serious reservations over whether or not he was ever capable of leading a team to a title. That's not saying he didn't deserve criticism for the way he played (I certainly was very critical of his performance), but I was still mindful of the bigger picture.

Not to mention I defended his play for much of his tenure in Miami - even had dudes call me LeBron stan many a time. And I'm a person that doesn't like him at all.

Im asking did you give LeBron the lions share of the blame for that 2011 finals loss, like cats are giving Steph the lion share of the blame for whats going on in this OKC series? Or did you pass the blame around to the Heat as a team like your doing with Golden State?

Well first of all you're getting me to argue something different to what I argued against originally. Which was a poster saying "they're getting blown out because of Curry's defense" which is not true at all; he doesn't deserve most of the blame for how bad their defense has been, hell he really doesn't deserve much of it at all (he's been solid on that end for the most part). He's only a small part of the defense, and as a PG he has a smaller influence on his defense than every other starter. Just like he has a bigger influence on the offense than every other player - I wouldn't start blaming Bogut for how bad the offense has been.

Now onto how much blame he deserves for how they've performed this far - I'd say he deserves as much as a #1 option does who doesn't play up to his abilities. Draymond is the one who deserves the most blame up to this point tho. I still can't answer your question properly until this series is over.

Another thing to take into account is that no main option on the Warriors is playing up to their abilities thus far whereas Wade was arguably the best player during the '11 Finals (on both teams), so it would be more valid to divide the blame amongst the Warriors main players than it would be to do the same for that Heat team.

He had a great 3rd, but he shot them back out of it too, well was a part of the collaspe. He kept chucking and missing after he came back in from his rest
i know but where going to catch a 40 point fade without him.. and he got them back.

steph is not to be blamed for the defensive meltdown... he never was the defensive anchor..always got blown by easy.. but the high pass over draymond's head is the problem.. they throw it too high for him to have any impact... therefore the small ball gets annihilated.

as a matter of fact.. they were doing better with green OFF the floor.the moment he came back.. they ran the same thing again and got the lead back...

this is reminiscing of the ECF boston vs heat before Bosh came back...rondo and KG were doing the same thing

So he deserves all the blame despite the team in general playing poorly? :heh:

welcome to the "superstar we get all the credit and all the blame club" so yes he does. Once the warriors win in 7 he will get all the credit. Just how it works

So why do you fakkits ridicule Harden over his defensewhen this fakkit Curry is easily a worse defender? Blinded by the half court trick shot three pointers?

Can't stand you dumb NBa fans.
