You're an NBA Coach. How do you stop Steph Curry?

[Made Myself A Boss]

Delly already showed how to stop him in last year's final..He just didnt have the athletism to keep it up over a 7 game series as Blat was using an 8 man rotation and wearing his own team out


Last year GS didn't face 1 starting point guard in the NBA on they way to the chip. They got lucky AF.. I highy doubt that they repeat this year

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.

There's elite talent at every level of sports. I didn't coach high school. I coached premier and gold level soccer in the US which is higher than HS sports. I also competed in Japan as a youth player for the US. I also trained with nationally ranked players and professional academies. I wasn't no mini van driving soccer mom volunteer. Messi can be stopped. Barcelona is a machine. If you remove certain parts it doesn't work anymore. All the players you named are forwards. Forward need service to get the ball. You disrupt the service and you've cut off their supply line to the ball. Let them drop back to the midfield to pick up the ball and battle though two lines and a keeper to score. As special as Ronaldo is he's the most stoppable of three players.

In BB you can't deny someone the ball because the court is so small they'll get it sooner or later. In soccer you can keep certain players in positions where they can't hurt you or sacrifice a player and have a someone follow them around the whole game. I played midfield, center back, and forward. I understand those positions very well. I've trained them and coached them. No service no threat.

Russ wore that same exact jersey to the game last night. Comical

You can't even appreciate that you're seeing some all-time great shyt. Disgusting.

Dude been hating on the Warriors ever since he proclaimed the Grizzlies as victors in the playoffs when they had us on the ropes.

You tripping b. Of course if you put Messi on 3rd division team in Denmark and played Real Madrid, you can easily stop him but he's so good he would never be on a 3rd Division team and if he is, he's playing v. 3rd division talent that wouldn't have a chance at stopping him either since his teammates are comparable to them. You tripping bad. Extremely bad.

[O.G.B]

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.

You haven't provided any "real numbers" or data, just barber shop rhetoric. And continually repeating yourself over & over with this comical nonsense above still doesn't debunk or disprove any of my comments.

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.

What you fail AGAIN to understand is that you're not "technically hacking" Curry but fouling him with the ball in his hands before he's able to make a 3 point shot & sending him to the line which would nullify GS getting the ball back after the free throw. You're discussing off the ball fouls & I'm not. Two totally different situations.

"Hack a Shaq" Rule:

Section X of Rule No. 12 in the NBA’s Official Rulebook, states that:

During the last two minutes of the fourth period or overtime period(s) with the offensive team in possession of the ball, all personal fouls which are assessed against the defensive team prior to the ball being released on a throw-in and/or away-from-the-play, shall be administered as follows:

(1) A personal foul and team foul shall be assessed and one free throw attempt shall be awarded. The free throw may be attempted by any player in the game at the time the personal foul was committed.

• The penalty situation also occurs if a team commits more than one foul in the last two minutes of a quarter. Even if a team has not committed any fouls and there is less than two minutes remaining in the quarter, they are in the penalty as soon as they commit their second foul.

When a team is in the penalty and one of their players commits a foul, the opposition gets to shoot two free throws.

If you put Messi on a good team like his national team he's very average because he doesn't have the Barcelona system supporting him which is fast precise passing. Lots of give and go simple stuff. MSN as a unit is unstoppable for sure. They're like the Galacticos, a dream team.

But the only one I couldn't see being stoppable as a lone striker would be Ronaldo. He started as a midfielder and he played CAM as captain for United. He can pass and create while still being a scoring threat outside the box. Barcelona isn't a team full of Messi level players. They're not unbeatable in the midfield anymore. Messi and neymar need to be gifted with passes to do their thing Ronaldo can create his own shot out of nothing. But if you upset him he's either going to score six goals or none. Lol. I'll take my chances.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I've never played or coached BB competitively, but I've played and coached soccer competitively. There's no such thing as an unstoppable player. Maybe this is only true in soccer. I think about how I'd stop Curry a lot. In soccer we'd call Curry a finesse player. They play pretty and methodical not fast and powerful.

I'd terrorize Curry mentally, physically, and emotional. If everyone on my starting line up didn't foul him hard I'd bench them. I'd delay his plane if possible. Food poisoning. Surprise wake up calls. I'd deflate their balls and talk so much shyt about him the league would have to fine me to get me to stop. I'd troll his life hard too.

I'd have the crowd holding up some slick ass signs about him cheating on his wife. I'd even question the legitimacy of his child if it'd get me a championship. I don't that nikka, so fukk his entire life.

There's a point in your competitive career where you have to decide if you're going to allow yourself to be a loser.

Doing all this shyt = being a loser

If u have to kidnap someone's family to beat them you can't really beat them.

So now after all that you're not actually doing a hack a curry even though the article you posted is hack a curry. And that article says it's not based on numerical data but a moral get the warriors out of sync wish. Yet when I post actual numbers disproving how awful an idea it is now I'm sayin barbershop stuff and the definition of hack a curry has changed. Smh. See, you're complicating something that's so obviously a bad idea. But I guess you're Coli Popovich huh?

Messi won the best player award in the last world cup, what are you talking about? He took a mediocre team to the WC finals. Do you know how hard that is? Man, you sound silly. A soccer head like @mastermind or @Hollister would neg you if they read your post

 

[El Guapo]

Go with the Lawrence Taylor strategy and send prostitutes to exhaust them the night before the game. Steph might refuse them, but I don't think Klay and some of the key pieces of the team will

And I'm talking like 100 thots so they can't resist. Strength in numbers!

I'm only half kidding about that too. They're too good

That's why I made it perfectly clear from the beginning that I didn't agree with the authors overall premise while clearly explaining & detailing that my version of "Hack a Curry" didn't employ his .
strategy but my own which is what this thread is about.

But I guess you're Coli Black Popovich huh?

Fixed!
