Steph Curry is banned from Finals MVP contention

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Lilard is far better than curry

I'm guessing you missed the second round of the playoffs.

Time to accept Curry's game doesn't work in the playoffs. He'd be Damian Lillard without the ATG supporting cast.

What?

Lillard >>>>>>>>>>>>> Curry

Curry seems like the 4th best player in this series

 

[FlyRy]

This is not what happened not only because I watched the entire series but I also watched it last week too. The problem was when he was making the right decisions when getting trapped - Draymond and role players weren't decisive enough with the ball and were missing open shots. They imrpoved by hitting open shots by like 20-30% in the second half of the series. That and the Cavs' lack of depth was what changed the series. Curry most certainly didn't have his best series, but he still had 3-4 good games and was their best and most important player.

LeBron narrative of him doing it by himself, and Iggy being the one who stopped him. The voters fell too much for storylines rather than who the best player for the Warriors was.

This is corny. I bet you weren't saying this shyt last season when Curry was their best player all playoffs long.

Where did I say conspiracy theory?

Pathetic posting from you.

He didn't get one single vote but the voters ALL fell into the narrative that Iggy stopped Lebron therefore he deserved the MVP. Apparently you're a lot smarter than the voters. Or maybe Iggy was the most valuable. Just maybe right?

 

[Rigby.]

Didn't Draymond get declared as the Dubs' leader early this season? I haven't heard words more truthful than that

seeing LeBron and Kyrie play Durant/Westbrook levels of hero ball in the first half was
Without Draymond, Bron can get anything he wants outchea. They better be lucky dudes jumper died out in the late 3rd to 4th or he wouldve dropped 50

Honestly with what Klay also does on defense , he's been better than Curry these playoffs. No doubt Klay >> Curry right now. Curry still good though.

Klay has always been better than curry. Analytic loving fakkits in the media is why steph is so excessively praised. The reality is Klay and Drammond are both more important to this GS team than curry.

If that ain't the realest thing...


Klay is the reason they even beat OKC when curry was nowhere to be seen

What does this have to do with anything? Why can't you address any of my points made?

Yes. I'm not smarter than the voters, I just didn't fall into the trap of thinking that he was the Warriors' most important and best player. Listen, I don't have any issue with Iggy getting the award last season - he most certainly had an argument - the problem I have is when folk use it against Curry as if he didn't deserve it and went missing in the series. Which couldn't be further from the truth.

He averaged 26 ppg in the Finals (10 ppg more than any other Warriros player)
He was getting trapped and doubled all series long - Iggy and all the other role players benefited from this when getting open shots and more room to work with when getting the ball. 80+% of Iggy's points were assisted, and the majority of his FGs were when Mozgov, Thompson or Jones were the closest defenders - sometimes they weren't even guarding him, just leaving him open to shoot while focusing on Curry or Klay.

Steph Curry, Not Andre Iguodala, Was The Warriors’ Real MVP In The NBA Finals

But Iguodala was merely the biggest beneficiary of Curry’s all-encompassing threat and Draymond Green’s all-court versatility. Why was he afforded so much space to operate in the halfcourt? Due to Cleveland’s ultra-aggressive ball-screen coverage on Curry. And why were the Cavaliers forced to guard him with an overmatched big man? Because Green is a stout enough rebounder, rim-protector, and individual defender to not be frequently outmuscled by Mozgov and Tristan Thompson.

81.5 percent of Iguodala’s scores versus Cleveland were assisted. The nearest defender on all but nine of his 37 made field goals was Mozgov, Thompson or 34-year-old James Jones. Those stats, obviously, have the fingerprints of Curry and Green all over them.

This is not to knock Iguodala. Compared to expectations, his individual performance was the Warriors’ best. He was awesome in the Finals, and certainly extremely valuable. It’s just that the genesis of so much of that value stems from other players, including one who went for 26.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists a night with a 60.7 true shooting percentage and 30.7 usage rate.

Curry nearly stole Game 3 from the Cavaliers at The Q, providing his team a much-needed spark that proved incendiary for the Finals’ duration. He dominated down the stretch in Game 5 with the kind of surreal shot-making that’s become amazingly common. And he had 25 points, six rebounds, eight assists and three steals in his team’s title-clinching victory.
