He is.. He is The best shooter ever
Steph is in the great situation of not really having to lead a squad, he just has to be the most dynamic...and he does that. But Golden State is not fukkin wit Cleveland this year....dem nikkas ballin and kyrie is just now getting ready to touch down.


But Steph is the most deadly offensive player I have seen in recent memory. Bron runs shyt tho...both sides.

Why don't you like the Chef? He's like the evolution of Nash :jbhmm:
That's a prime reason for a guy like him to not like steph:heh:
He stanned someone who wasn't even half as good as steph and now he can't handle it. I mean he's the same guy who said dragic would command an all star or two/superstar And multiple picks to get from the suns :russ:

You nikkas are really comparing a meaningless regular season game in December to the finals AND Curry still won the game. The Curry hate used to be light hearted but nikkas are getting furious after every win now :laughinmj:
I'm just saying all superstars should be held to the same standard. It's possible to play shytty and have a nice stat line. But if you're gonna give one player a pass for it, give everyone a pass for it.

So getting to the line is now a valuable skill now....? because James Harden would definitely not be praised for shooting 9/27 with 8 TO's. :dead:

shyt, even when he has a great shooting night like has in all but 1 of his 6 40 point games this season he still gets shyt on because he can draw fouls.

Steph is an ATG talent but having an elite 2nd option like Klay takes a ton of pressure off him. It's not a coincidence that his two worst shooting nights of the season (went 13/31 against BKN) coincided with Klay's absence. That's why Harden deserves more respect than he gets from NBA fans, he gets that sort of defensive attention Steph did yesterday almost every single night because teams know Dwight, Brewer, Ariza & Beverley aren't going to hurt them.

The difference here is, how many "shytty" games has Curry had this season? This would be fine to criticize his play if this was a regular thing, but it's not. Because as you know, that's far from the case.

He was proven wrong about Curry and this Warriors squad from the very beginning. Now he just keeps lying and lying and manipulating what happens to save face. There's no point in him conceding now - he's better off just keeping up this act. It's just what compulsive liars do.

It could happen once every 90 games, my point is if you use one standard for a great player, use it for another.


People are gonna troll, make jokes and say dumb shyt regardless. At the end of the day these threads wouldn't have traffic if people ignored them but here we are. :yeshrug:

For one. Noone is saying Curry had an amazing night. Looking at those numbers u would think so but the general sentiment is Steph had an off night. The first game like this the whole season in an otherwords legendary season performance wise. With Bron. People was saying he was playing amazing and even tryna give him finals MVP whether he lost the game or not. And he performed similar to how Curry performed last night. Every night of the FINALS. And they lost. Not a standard regular season game on the road.

Harden actually gets less defensive attention than Steph does from the perimeter because he doesn't pose the same threat to defenses, so there's no need to really bring him up here. We've seen James struggle and have off nights even when being guarded 1on1 b/c of his tendency to settle for terrible shots.

Getting to the line will always be a valuable skill, it's when a players game is predicated on instigating fouls that it becomes a concern. Obviously wasn't the case here

Dwight has been a dominant P&R big for a really long time. I wonder what a paring of him/Curry would do
Yeah I don't know why @GilSho is acting like Harden gets more defensive attention - as if a large amount of his points don't come from 1v1 situations . shyt even when Klay's on the court you usually see two to three players focussed on Curry, even when he doesn't have the ball. You don't see multiple defenders draped all over Harden wherever he goes, like you do Curry.

And I certainly don't know why @GilSho is bringing up the free throws Curry took as if he's reliant upon them like Harden is.

I'm more concerned with the fact that even the announcers were saying

"Whoever Steph is guarding THATS who you gotta go to". In crunch time.

How can someone be the best player in the world and be the weak link on Defense??????:patrice:

Im not doubting kobe greatness buffon
20 plus games out of 200 is a solid feat im talking about regular season games where kobe has had similar stat lines fg wise as steph. nikkas want to shyt on steph for having am off night from the field with a great perimeter player guarding him when in the end he still won and had a solid contribution to the win

Kobe and iverson both have had similar games where their team have won and nobody ever came out and dethroned they season or status because of one or a few hames like this where they still were arguably the best player on the floor

The point is Curry is not better than Lebron, and he isn't. Lebron is corny as fukk and I can still tell you that. Lebron is not even in the same category as Kobe.

Curry's team is stacked as fukk... there is no denying that. He has better players around him than Kobe or Lebron ever did. he hasnt done shyt but win one ring, on a stacked team, and the Warriors walked to the finals and played a heavily injured team in EVERY round. You are way too soon on the Curry bandwagon bro, wait til Clay or Green goes down for an extended length and Curry will fall apart like all NBA players when their teams get injured.

better yet, wait for someone to knock Stephy on his ass like they shoulda a long time ago.
