I actually think that shyt would have happened in the 90s
You're an NBA Coach. How do you stop Steph Curry?

This ain't the 90s. These nikkas move off the ball extremely well, Klay can create his own shot and Green is rangy as well. This team is built around Steph like the Patriots for Brady
Only way to stop him is to fukk with him emotionally and spiritually.
Get A dark skinned nikka to seduce Ayeesha and record the whole thing.
Release a diss track that has the lyrics "So your brother is washed and Ayeesha's a known slut. So what's Riley gonna be when she grows up"
Have the opposing team quote those lyrics every single time he touches the ball

Ain't nobody tryin to get indicted.
Yeah, it's dirty and I'd expect him to swing on me after, but that'd be my strategy. I've watched all my favorite coaches lose to curry over and over again. Dude is fukking unstoppable if you follow the rules and don't try to drive him insane. He's going to light you up man to man. He can pass out of traps or shoot because he's that nikka. He's also a devout Christian so he's mentally tough. I don't think a team exists that can stop him. He seems to be more consistent than Kobe Bryant too. That's scary. Kobe was stoppable within the rules of the game. Curry isn't.

H-Town it's NOT our year
Hack a Curry is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while, though I understand the reasons why but why not just hack Green or Iggy instead?
Schröder did an excellent job on Curry as did Jeff but the issue is you gotta have the team to beat Golden. That's the better question, how do you stop Steph Curry and beat the Warriors. That's the hard part.
Messi and Neymar have been unstoppable often and alot as has C. Ronaldo. You on that same level with that poster who compared playing a high school team with great shooters to stopping Steph Curry. Until you play v. Elite talent, stfu.

From 3 to 10 feet curry shoots his lowest percentage.
Try to force his shots into that area
Try to force his shots into that area
you're only proving my point bruh. Even with your stats that you posted to prove your point, all it did was show me curry shoots 96%ft in crunchtime, higher than his 3pt%, higher than his 2 pt%.
Again, if you're leading the game, why are you going to intentionally foul the best ft shooter in the nba, who by your stat shoots over 95% AND STOP THE CLOCK. That's all negative things if you're the team winning. Warriors get an easy 2 points and the game extends longer than it has to.
"This shouldn't be rocket science breh. But you do also realize that the other team also gets the ball back as well right?"
Under 2 minutes left if you intentionally foul curry he gets 2 ft and possession. are you going to keep hacking curry? because the other team will never see the ball. Understand? And again you're giving up easy points AND STOPPING THE CLOCK.
No, I think it's you that has the comprehension issues. Even Ray Charles could see that by fouling Curry and getting him to shoot 2 pts at the free throw line instead of a 3 pt shot (along with possible situation of him missing one of his free throws) limits the Warriors chances of quickly catching up again or taking over the lead within a 2 to 3 minute timespan of the end of the 4th quarter when a team has at least a 6 -10pt lead. Again, this really isn't as complicated as your trying to make it out to be. Furthermore, what you keep glossing over is that the other team after Curry shoots his free throws has the ball back to run down the clock while preventing GS from getting more opportunities to get the ball for Steph to shoot 3''s again. Also GS doesn't always run plays when they are down and attempting to catch up, so the few seconds it takes Steph to get up the court before he shoots the ball are somewhat negligible because they aren't keeping the ball for the majority of the shot clock anyways. You're attempting to prevent Curry from scoring 3's within a short timeframe to pad your lead while possibly limiting GS possessions along with the chance to add additional points to maintain your lead. This is really simple logic that you continue to fail grasping.

"Hack a Curry"
There are of course some parameters which would need to be considered during the game depending on the situation itself in order for this to possibly work (as I don't agree with the entire plan as the author has laid out), however I think there is some merit to this & maybe the only way that GS/Steph Curry momentum could be stopped to where it allows other teams to beat them in close games.
I really don't give a fukk if your a Warriors/Steph Curry fan or not (I don't have a personal bias one way or the other), so overly emotional types who have problems giving their opinions without acting like bytches on their monthly cycle can kick rocks! Analyze this concept & give your thoughts
Stephen Curry has become so good that the NBA might begin using one of the most radical strategies to stop him
Stephen Curry is turning the NBA upside down
Curry is so good now that teams are going to have to get creative when he gets hot and that could mean the birth of the Hack-A-Curry.
Coming off an MVP season and a championship, Curry has somehow gotten even better, staking a strong claim for best player in the NBA while improving all of his skills.
It's not that Curry is doing anything new — he's still a lights-out shooter with impossible range, a hypnotizing ball-handler, and clever passer — but he's simply gotten better at everything.
Through ten games he's leading the NBA in scoring, averaging 33 points per game with a ridiculous 53% shooting, 47% from 3-point range, with five rebounds and five assists per game. Additionally, his efficiency is through the roof: He has a ridiculous 65.9% eFG (effective field-goal percentage, weighted for three-pointers), higher than any other starting point guard in the NBA and eighth among players who play at least 20 minutes per game. (Curry has also taken more field-goal attempts than any of the players above him.)
As anyone who's ever watched Curry knows, this is an astounding number for someone who takes some of the most ludicrous shots in the NBA. According to the player-tracking feature atNBA.com, Curry has 56 more points on pull-up shots than anyone in the NBA, and he's hit 49.5% of his pull-up attempts. This coincides with his league-high 52 possessions in transition, in which he's scored 1.67 points per possession. To put that in perspective, LeBron James and James Harden are second and third, respectively, in transition possessions, averaging .96 and 1.06 points per possession."
Yet when teams push up on Curry or send multiple defenders, he can either bust by them and into the paint for a higher-percentage shot, or kick the ball to an open teammate for another high-percentage look.
One idea that's been casually mentioned, but never implemented (to our knowledge) is the Hack-A-Curry, where defenses could intentionally foul Curry, put him on the free-throw line, and get the ball back. Intentionally fouling is one of the most divisive strategies in the NBA. It brings the game to a halt, bails out the defense, and drives fans crazy. It's been used with several other big men who are bad free-throw shooters as a way to slow down offenses, most recently with the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan in the playoffs last season.
For a player like Curry, this is borderline unprecedented, but it may be something teams experiment with when he gets going. As was the case against the Clippers this season, when Curry scored 13 points in five minutes in the fourth quarter, rallying the Warriors from a late deficit. His hot streaks can be game-changing.
Teams can try to run Curry off the three-point line, but he's proven so adept at getting any shot he wants, or breaking down the defense within the three-point arc that he often just creates another good shot. NBA TV's "The Starters" briefly mentioned this on a podcast, noting that teams may have to start fouling Curry hard to throw him off or simply just give up the two instead of three-pointer. Not only is a three obviously worth more, Curry's onslaughts from downtown fire up him, the team, and the crowd.
Curry is shooting 94% from the free-throw line this season, so intentionally fouling him more than likely will result in two points. This strategy isn't about the math as much as it's about the intangible effect — stopping the flow of the Warriors offense and taking Curry out of a rhythm.
There are still a few hurdles to clear before the NBA would likely to turn to this. First, teams may look to foul a worse free-throw shooter on the Warriors than Curry. However, fouling away from the ball — that is, fouling someone like center Andrew Bogut — only works for so long. The Warriors would likely sub out Bogut and go with their deadly small-ball lineup if he was getting fouled, and after a certain point in the game, rules prohibit teams from fouling away from the ball. If they do, the team that was fouled just gets the ball back after the free throws, thus negating the point to the strategy.
If Curry keeps up this torrid pace, it's worth monitoring how teams begin to scheme against him. Defenses are in uncharted waters with Curry; there isn't a more dangerous player in the NBA with the ball in his hands. When Curry gets on a hot streak, single-handedly changing the momentum and demoralizing opponents, teams may try the Hack-A-Curry just to slow him down."

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
I don't think he can be stopped...he's gonna get 30-35 a night with 5-6 3's a night. Brehs just have to face the fact that we're witnessing greatness
Come playoff time you can put together more of a game plan that focuses on him and the rest of GS, but these regular season games, like last night aren't a good example of how to play him. He had fukkin Kanter, Singler & Adams on him off ball screens and in iso situations.
What did y'all think was gonna happen?

This is really simple logic that you continue to fail grasping.
again you're not even paying attention to your own data. Curry's not hitting 3s or 2s like fts man, it's either 2, 3 or 0 pts, all while the clock is moving like a team with a lead wants. not even close to his 90 plus % ft percentage. Your hack a curry theory doesn't work because the whole premise of that theory is playing the percentages. that's why its done to terrible ft shooters. if you foul curry you're giving the BEST FT SHOOTER IN THE NBA 2 FREE THROWS WHILE THE CLOCK STOPS. ALL THINGS A TEAM WITH A LEAD DO NOT WANT. Curry doesn't make 90% of his shots, not even close, so you play the percentages ALL THE WHILE BURNING CLOCK. It's putting pressure on your offense, and you're assuming that the other team will always score. So what happens if the other team misses, they hack curry again, now you've given up basically 4 points when you didn't have to and again the clock stops.
Under 2 minutes, now if you hack curry he gets 2 points AND THE WARRIORS GET THE BALL. So you really wanna keep doing that? How does the other team get the ball then by hacking curry? They don't.
See my logic is actually really simple because it's based on real numbers. You're basing your logic on flawed information. I don't know why you think Curry is making 90% of all his 2s and 3s but he's not. So don't give him shots where he does make over 90%. That's easy logic.
