You know Bev and Conley would have played a factor in his performance against their teams, right? He wasn't going to be able to waltz on up and drain threes with two of the best point guard defenders on him.



Well now you just flipped the script from Curry defending other PG's (which Ty was alluding to) to Curry being defended by other PG's. To that point, Beverley wasn't playing his usual good defense this past season and would've gotten cooked regardless. Especially with how terribly the team defended in transition and a fast pace that plays directly into the Warriors hands. Should've watched Curry drop 22 on 7-12 FG & 10 assists (33 min) and 27 on 9-18 FG & 11 assists (33 min) with Beverly in the lineup for Houston this season. Here's one of those games



Trevor Ariza is the actual best option on that team for defending Stephen Curry, who really can't be defended by one guy to begin with. Takes a team effort + a perfectly executed defensive strategy like the Cavs displayed in the Finals and that only worked temporarily.

Did you know Curry shoots 46% from behind the arc against the Grizzlies on 7.1 attempts for his career? This is with Mike in the lineup. He hasn't really held Curry in check who shot very well with him as the primary defender.

And I'm a Pelicans fan, Jrue is a very good defensive player imo better than both Mike & Bev, but he was helpless to stop this type of performance as any individual defender at the position will be without an ample amount of support. Support I don't think the Pelicans would have provided him considering how poor our defense was on the season.

Yeah...GS had a charmed run.

I'm still amazed that the Clippers knocked out the Spurs....Just can't believe it
The Clips knocking out the Spurs is one of the greatest sports anomalies of the century so far.Twilight Zone shyt
:dahell:

The Clippers had the TWO best players in that series - how the fukk is that an anomaly? How is that so hard to believe?

I said this after the post-season ended and I'll say it again: STEPHEN CURRY DIDN'T GUARD A SINGLE STARTING PG IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Pelicans: Jrue was out and hurting, I think he played a game or two but came off the bench and Curry didn't have to do shyt against him.
Grizz: One eye Conley, missed 2 games and was hurt in the other ones.
Rockets: Beverley missed the entire series
Cavs: We all know what happened to Kyrie


That shyt was an easy ride. I'm not saying Warriors weren't great, but that was one of the easiest rides in the Western Conference in a long time.

Is it Oochie Wally Wally or is it One Mic?
