Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

Re: Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

Hey how many times did prime Mike allow his team to go down 3-1 and not show up in essentially every game during the series? You know since they were on the same level in their primes I'm sure it happened right?

1. How does Michael Jordan's individual ability matter relative to his teammates' accountability?

2. Did Michael Jordan ever suffer an injury mid-playoffs that he had to rush back from?

3. Did Michael Jordan ever have to play a team as good as OKC in the Conference Finals?

The series so far basically comes down to this

Roberson/Waiters: 12-24 3PT (50%)
Combined R.Season: 118-343 3PT (34%)

Klay/Green: 13-47 3PT (27%)
Combined R.Season: 376-908 (41%)

Trying to use "Curry isn't Jordan" as a reason for the series standing is not only a red herring but the laziest type of barstool sports analysis imaginable, and unbecoming of what this forum is supposed to be.

The series comes down to Westbrook and KD severely outplaying Curry and Thompson with the role players cancelling each other out. Regular season numbers mean nothing. It doesn't matter if they lit up a bunch of scrubs in the regular season they have to do it to OKC's D now.

You're a little right. The series obviously comes down to these games. His point was that they are shooting way above their norm.

And Westbrook and KD are playing better than Curry/Klay. That's correct. Benches are a wash in terms of points per game, but OKC's bench is doing it more efficiently leaving less wasted possessions for KD/Westbrook.

Also, Curry does have the highest TS% among those big 4 and is still average 24/5.5/4.5/2 while he is likely injured. He is far from the problem.

Curry isn't playing bad, but he is being outplayed by Westbrook who is having an all time great series. Curry has 18 ast to 17 TO. Westbrook has 47 ast to 16 TO. Westbrook is averaging nearly 4 steals per game and 6.5 reb. GS can't win with Curry being outplayed to this degree.

Westbrook and Durant are top-5 players in the NBA.

Klay Thompson is not.

OKC certainly has the talent to win the series and they would not be the first team to underachieve in the regular season and then go on a deeper-than-expected playoff run.

with the role players cancelling each other out.

Steven Adams: 11.0 PPG, 8.5 RPG
Andrew Bogut: 3.0 PPG, 4.3 RPG

"Canceling each other out"

Regular season numbers mean nothing. It doesn't matter if they lit up a bunch of scrubs in the regular season they have to do it to OKC's D now.

OKC had the best offense right after GS. The main adjustment they have made compared to the regular season and first two rounds is going with a smaller lineup rather than playing Enes Kanter (which has helped their defense).

I'm not blaming Curry for this thrashing they're receiving this series, it's obviously on the whole team, I have nothing but respect for this man his season was undeniably one of the best if not the best ever (statistically). To compare him though to someone who in his prime was dominant in every aspect of the game is a little ridiculous.

When Steph retires I'm sure the 73-9 Warriors will be in that respective 2k game, and I agree his SHOOTING should be maxed out, but honestly his stats should not be overloaded to catch the players that are truly the best to ever do it. Curry isn't faster than John Wall or a point slower than Westbrook.

1. When it was time to win everyone knew who was getting the ball, and since they didn't lose for 6 years straight I guess it worked.

2. Really? He had multiple ankle sprains and even a knee sprain in the 97 season. He also took over an NBA finals game WITH THE FLU.

Steph must be really banged up if he's doing 360 dunks in warm-ups lol, stop making excuses for this guy and take it for what it is, he's not showing up when his team needs him

That and OKC has the length, and athleticism to switch everything and put constant pressure on the ball, thus taking the Warriors out of their offence. Adams, KD, and Ibaka are doing a good job of running Curry off the line. They're also being very physical with Curry.

This is exactly why Curry hasn't been as effective as he was all year. People don't understand how much being physical takes it's toll on a shooter, being physical makes it very hard for a shooter to catch rhythm. OKC is doing a good job on Curry that is all there is too it.

Which has what to do with his teammates accountability?

You do realize "THE FLU" and "PHYSICAL INJURY" are not the same thing right

Re: Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

Penny and Shaq never beat Jordan in the playoffs... They DID beat the Bulls while MJ was off looking for new side pieces on the baseball circuit. Besides that, Jordan and the Bulls were the ones who knocked off the Bad Boys in the early 90's to start their own run. MJ got beat the eff up, but he still came out on top. I can't stand the man, but he was the man. Unfortunately.

I'm done with this, there's no reasoning with these guys, honestly if you want to think Curry is on Jordan's level go ahead. If you want to use Curry's "injury" as an excuse for the Warriors being knocked out before seeing the finals be my guest.

All credit to Curry, this is a season we will not soon forget, but don't be blinded because you look really dumb doing it.
