Lebron James led a very tumultuous first season with the Cavs to the third best offense in the league. I highly doubt the loss of offensive production from Curry to Lebron is gonna really hurt the Warriors overall offense when Lebron is also a one man wrecking ball that takes a concerned team effort to stop.
And you think CURRY is the reason the Warriors had the number one defender? Breh...I love Curry and I think he's actually very underrated defensively but the Warriors ain't missing a beat on defense without Curry.
And yeah, Lebron is effectively the PG for most teams he's on aka point forward. You think Chalmers was running that Heat team? You can plug anyone of Golden State's many playmaking ball handler (Iggy, Livingston, Barbosa, etc).
All Lebron need is a decent defender to guard smaller PGs (Plenty of those) and a guy who he can trust to bring the ball up the court while making the occasional play (Plenty of that)
if if was a spliff we'd all be high
again, apples and oranges. Curry and Bron have different skillsets and perform different functions for their teams.
I never said Curry was the reason the Dubs had the number 1 defense, that being said, as much as you try to indict Curry's defense it's not as if Lebron has been shutting motherfukkers down lately either.
Lebron doesn't create the spacing problems that Curry does, nor does he demand the same amount of attention.
you swap Curry out, the Dubs only have one consistent legit deep threat and teams pack it in against Bron-led teams like they always do.
