Hey, fake MAGA alt-right Reddit troll, you really exposing yourself now.

So steph and klay just stopped hitting 3's all of a sudden? :lupe:
nikka because you come at me w/smoke every time, and I wind up bytch slapping your ass back in place every time

and "I missed the game" means i didn't see it...that's something weird now!? nobody misses games on TV anymore but me!? you don't see how strange you are yet!? :mindblown:

and they've been called the SPLASH BROTHERS for some years now you stupid muthafukka...
they hit a lot of shots from behind the little circle on the basketball court - those are called 3 pointers little buddy! :gladbron:

Sorry Connor, there are no Splash Brothers right now. Klay Thompson tore his ACL in the FInals last year and has been out since then. He had reconstructive knee surgery. Everyone and their mama knows that Klay ain't playing until 2020.

I know this is only a fake online identity for you to push your right-wing bullshyt, but this is extra embarrassing. You said, "I missed the game I was on the road." So you missed the NBA Finals too? You missed anyone talking about the NBA Finals? You missed all NBA offseason talk for 4 months? You missed not only this game, but all the previous games, and anyone talking about those games too?

Same stupid-ass posting as always - wasted an entire comment trying to mock me because you don't realize how dumb your own statement was. :mjlol:

but please oh lonely king of bytch nikka Incels - do that copy and paste thing again where you flood the discussion with 90 of my old posts and fukk up the entire discussion trying to sell this argument that i'm a white right winger again...

Steph Curry is considered and IS a top 5 player in this league. Since he's in that category we will hold him to the same standards as a lebron, kd, kahwi and so forth. I fully expect steph's leadership ability to get this team and rally his team and get them motivated to play better because that's the expectations he faces. Other players play without their top teams and they still can right the ship. I want to see steph take the lead on defense and raise his level of play on that end.
I’ve never seen kawhi carry a bad roster so I wouldn’t mention him and not harden who has a few times.a

2014-2015 and last year.

There's nothing wrong with holding Steph to the standards of a top-5 player, I mean, it goes without saying; but holding to him those standards doesn't mean revising his career and his abilities, which is what is going on in this thread. What plays out from this point forward doesn't negate what he's already proven.

That shyt he's proven is set in stone, and no muh'fukka gets to come along with a chisel to try and change that.

Furthermore, what are these standards you speak of considering Kawhi has always been on stacked/ready-made teams? If we're keeping it a buck: Steph's the only player in the top-5 whose come up with the team he was drafted to, started from the bottom, took his bumps, paid his dues, and led his team to get where he is today; not LeBron, not KD, and definitely not Kawhi have done that.

Explain to me how Klay, Draymond, Iggy (32), Barnes (when he was only avg 12 ppg), Livingston, Bogut, Ezeli, Barbosa etc is "plenty of talent"?

Going into the '14/'15 season, nobody would have said Steph's support cast was filled with "plenty of talent", and if you told anybody that his support cast was good enough to help the Warriors win 67 games that season and then 73 games the season after - you would've been laughed off this board. You're only saying this in retrospect because you're looking at it in hindsight to take away from Steph's ability and achievements.

The motion offense actually helped his support cast to a far greater degree than it helped him: it harnassed his gravity to open up the floor for his teammates to get easy scoring opportunities. Without it, the likes of Dray, Iggy, Barnes, Rush etc would have had a harder time creating shots for themselves. It's why they've had the most dominant offense in history simply because of his gravity; the defensive attention he receives is like having an extra player on offense. He was already a special player before Kerr came along; he was in the midst of rebuilding his body to get over all the injuries, and fine-tuning his shooting which happened to coincide with Kerr's tenure as coach.

His career-high 54 point-performance was in 2013:



He was a special player all the way back then.

Kerr has gone on record to state that, they could've run basic PnR during his MVP seasons and Steph would've broken all types of scoring/assist averages, but the team would be worse off in the long run; they'd become too one-dimensional on offense and his teammates wouldn't be able to develop their skillsets, which they'd need to when they needed to step up in the playoffs.

The motion offense has all been about helping Steph's teammates, all at the cost of his #s.

Another misconception - Steph is a good defender, and anyone saying any different clearly isn't paying enough attention.

Stop acting like if you replaced Steph with either Klay or Iggy or KD, that this team would have a noticeably better defense. Their defense is a work in progress because they've got nine new players in the rotation, most of whom are inexperienced, and they're missing their two starting-rotational centers (WCS and Looney). They don't have the size, they don't have the experience, and they don't have the chemistry.

Neither Klay, or Iggy, or KD by themselves would fix GS issues on defense.

KD is 9-1 in Finals with Steph; KD is 1-4 in the Finals without Steph. :mjgrin:




:mjgrin:

p.s. The Warriors were 296-62 with Steph (82% win record) and 26-26 (50% win record) without him at one point.

Checkmate :mjgrin:

keep typing essays but let me know what is stephs finals record with and without KD :mjgrin:

i had posted about kahwi again. He has lived a charmed nba life. Going to the spurs then a 59 win raptor team you can't say for sure he can carry average to bad talent to the playoffs.

I don't think people are trying to take away from steph from 2015-2019 it's set in stone. People feel like without him having clearly the best talent in the league that he's going to struggle to carry a team to the playoffs despite him putting up gaudy numbers to show how great he is.
