I just don't understand why ppl are still undermining a basketball player who shoots a better fg percentage of bad shots than the average basketball player shoots period

I don't think anyone is undermining Curry...we have seen time and time again that Steph can shoot from 30+ feet with ease..he that good...hand his in face does nothing..

I'm questioning the D of a team that would allow a player to kill you the same way over and over again...every pnr is met with the same switch of big man on Steph..Steph cook that big man and team continue to do it. :mindblown:

(Not saying it matter cause Steph that good) but rarely see teams change their strategy on Steph...especially in clutch time...I don't get it..

I just think eventually think that eventually he will go back to what he was last year. Which was still pretty great

I'm saying he won't continue be this. Eventually he will go back to being what he was the previous 2 seasons.

Nah he shot the same shots last year. Did you watch the playoffs? Only difference is that he now has the stamina (or desire) to play like this for entire games throughout the season and the game has slowed down for him...

He may have attempted the same shots but he wasn't hitting them at the same rate.

What are his contested 3 points percentage year to year? And how many contested threes is he taking?

Also, I thought he was attempting more 3s this year?

How about getting your big ass in the paint where you belong in the 1st place :francis:
So if you happen to rotate to Steph for whatever circumstance you're supposed to just drop what you are doing and immediately go back to paint? :heh:

Obviously the switch from the screen :dahell: Yall nikkas acting all clueless and shyt

:snoop: why would a big man try to stay in front of Steph and force him to shoot the three....that's impossible..thats what he wants to do..he going to score regardless so at least ATTEMPT to only give up 2..

If you don't switch then he will have an open (or step back 3) or a drive to the lane (he shoots like 65+% at the basket and 91% from the line). Bogut and Green set great screens. You almost have to switch or trap or he will burn you every time.

@Newzz Trapping and doubling him from 30+ feet saps a lot of energy and isn't really sustainable in a game against this team, and especially not a series. That is one reason the Cavs got worn out in the Finals.

Its not a matter of why? The screen FORCES the switch sometimes

Remember when Madden had one game where only certain players would be ranked 100 in a category instead of the usual max of 99?

Well Curry would be 110 in shooting, 100 in handle, 100 in difficult shots, 100 in basketball IQ, 99 in passing.

You just can't defend and if you do he finds a way to make you pay. The reason why nobody can stop Steph Curry is because you can't stop Steph Curry. Having the team he has around him too makes it even more of a lost contest.

If Curry doesn't want to take the center straight up, he could get the ball to the center who has a PG guarding him in the post. If they double him someone will be open, usually either a 3 or a slam dunk. Remember, if there is a positional mismatch created from a screen in one area, there's a mismatch in another position. Curry has the awareness and decision making to find that also.

He shot 11 3PA per game in the playoffs last season and made them at a 42.2% clip. He is attempting 11.1 this year and making them at 46.1%

According to NBAminer.com, his contested shot %:
this year is 48.7%
last season 49.6%, 40% in playoffs
'13-14 season it was 43.7%, 41.2 in playoffs

It didn't say if those shots are threes or twos. And it didn't say how many.

But even if he reverts to the mean, it is excellent, and even those playoff percentages are fantastic. Obviously he wants to get easier looks, but the dude is hitting shots at an efficiency that is unheard of for the volume of threes he's taking.
