Re: 4/6 - 4/19 Games Discussion Thread

I do to since he didn’t even make a all star snub list maybe with the teams record being better now that will change it. I know Joel and Jokic are locks to get the 1st and 2nd team, but I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head more deserving them him for 3rd team.

Gobert

Best player on the best team record-wise this year, DPOY front-runner, no chance he gets left off IMO

I'd also give Ayton the nod over Capela as well. He's steadily becoming a force

Stephen Curry's shooting skill is the most amazing basketball ability I've ever witnessed in my entire life. This will sound hyperbolic but I feel blessed to have been able to watch this guy operate over the years; it's basketball perfection.

I'm sure that tons of people feel the way that you do, and although I'm intellectually aware of how singular a talent his shooting ability is, for some reason it doesn't create in me at all that awestruck feeling that it does for other people.

It's like, "Yeah, best shooter ever by a wild margin, but whatever"

Trae and Capela are starting to have games where they look scary good together. Trae has always been that level of passer, seems like they are finally getting on the same page. They keep that duo building and those young guys keep getting better and Atlanta won’t be a team anybody wants to play next season. Stylistically they are really a perfect fit.

And I bounce back and forth between the two of you and land somewhere in the middle. Lol

Genuinely curious as to why y’all feel this way?

Re: 4/6 - 4/19 Games Discussion Thread

I'm actually more impressed with the handles and space creation/separation. There have been alot of great shooters in the league, but not off the dribble and creating your own like Steph.


You know hill is thinking, "dont give up 3, dont up give up a 3" ?!?!wtf just happened?!?!

He isn't that low post présence you can just give the ball to and he's going to score for sure. I'll hold my judgment on him until ad and lbj come back. Game should be way easyier for him then. But so far he's had two good games, one against aldridge and one against a center less utah squad.

I had a feeling you guys were gonna destroy us last night.

Utah I think is pretty scary this year.

Ja continues his collection of epic missed dunks.

Almost had a self oop to win the game.

Would have been crazy.

I was so relieved when he didn't pick Boston lol.

it really is. When Curry is on there's no more fun player on the planet. while people can get annoyed with the hyperbolic statements with him, man the other side was just as brutal the last couple years.

AD could be back on Thursday but will start out on a minutes restriction. LeBron is still a few weeks away.

I mean I feel like Steph is the greatest all around shooter (outside shooter because I don't want to completely discredit midrange) to ever play the game by a long shot. I also think he's been the most influential player to ever play the game in terms of altering the league and the way teams approach their offense and what determines a good shot, etc. So I'm fully on board with that part of it.

My disconnect is with the rest of the stuff that comes with it. He's easily an All-Time level player but I never was fully on board with he's the best player in the league over guys like Bron and KD, or his best years he's a better scorer than MJ, or he's the best PG of all time when it's technically really hard to compare how he plays against Magic, Kidd, etc..

He's been amazing this season, this run he's been on is probably even better/more impressive than the one he had a few years back. So I'm not trying to take anything away from that at all... But the Warriors are in the same spot right now that people said they would be in a few years back if it wasn't more than just him shooting the ball. If he also didn't have a guy like Klay, or just a team like that in general. And everyone acted like the people who thought that were just haters, but it's really hard to be able to "carry" a team when you aren't doing so many other things outside of shooting at an elite level.

I know he's good at lots of other things too, but more of them in some way go hand in hand with his shooting ability. And I know the Warriors would be awful without him but I also know LeBron in his prime with Wiggins, Oubre, Green, Wiseman, Looney, Paschall, it's not a great team but he would be expected to be competing for a championship. So it's just hard for me to thrust Curry right up into that group. LeBron, Duncan, KG, Shaq, people wouldn't be fine with those types of guys missing the playoffs with this team. IMO at least.

Regardless I love watching Steph when he gets it going, just like I love watching Dame. Not sure many players have ever been more "fun" to watch when he starts hitting that stupid **** lol. Steph can leave you just shaking your head like nobody I've ever watched. It's just some of the narratives that come with it that, when those narratives get louder and louder I kind of see where jfsolo is coming from.

Why were you relievee? Worst case scenario he is depth at the 5 spot. I don't really get it, it's basically a freeroll.

Yea Gobert deserves it, but if your playing the stat game you could make a case for Clint esepically if Atlanta is able to get a 4/5 seed.

Clint - 15.6 PPG, 14.5, 60%, 2.2 BLK
Rudy - 14.4 PPG, 13.5, 67%, 2.8 BLK
Ayton - 15.2 PPG, 10.8, 62%, 1.1 BLK
