Stephen Curry and Draymond Green shot for a combined ¹³⁄₂₇ at 3. What a duo.

That’s a 37 year old 6,2 king dropping 52, 10 and 8 like it’s nothing.

Edit: and 5 steals

We don’t deserve him. We’ll go the next hundred years winning 10 games a year and it still woulda been worth it.

The fucker is 37 and just dropped 52/10/8 on 12 3s on the road in the most important game of the season yet.

Even more of a joy when he wins, I bet.

This would have been an all time classic “despite the loss” post without those trades.

We’re so incredibly spoiled. Every game is a treat.

Goes to show how valuable true superstars are in this league, you basically can’t win without one. Ja had 36 on insane efficiency but Curry made him look like an afterthought

Tbf this was the second night of a back to back

Im not convinced the Grizzlies could win more than a game vs any current playoff team. They have to play perfectly on offense to have any chance.

Things I’d do to play Memphis round 1

Its so painful man.

Crunch time, Ja kept forcing the ball to Edey and it got intercepted everytime

Fr we dropped to the 12 seed at one point and now are in the 5th seed. Its crazy

this season has been a roller coaster - they started off hot off their amazing bench/depth, almost went tank mode in the middle, traded for Butler to completely revitalize themselves (and are now the best they’ve been in years) but their biggest weakness is now lack of depth

And Buddy of all people doing it back 😭 Shooters shoot

Idk why the refs let everyone get away with mauling him lol

If Memphis releases an actual grizzly bear to go full Revenant on Curry, what are the odds it gets called a foul? Like how many organs does the bear go through before getting ejected? Cause I know if it gets a kidney and an appendix, it’s not even a Flagrant 1.

“After the review of the mauling, it’s Flagrant Foul 2 on Curry. The appendix is unnecessary, and having a second kidney is excessive. The player is ejected.”

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool, fuck you, I’m out.

What he say fuck me for?

Skyfuck you too bro. 😂

Refs completely forced this into a tighter game

D:

Not even mad

CHINO XL

Not corny at all, anyone who loves hoops can appreciate his talent when he goes off like this 🤗

He is like the first GOAT candidate that looks like a regular person instead of a super hero. I know he is tall but 6’2 is much closer to the average guy than 6’7.

It just feels special.

The Olympics destroyed any last bit of hate I had for Steph. It’s a joy to watch him at his best. 

Full disclaimer, there’s lots of amazing athletes that I’ve never watched, but imo Steph is the greatest entertainer in the history of sports. It’s truly a one of a kind experience watching him play. I never stop pinching myself that I’ve gotten to root for this guy for almost 2 decades.

Not totally unheard of. At 37, another guy had 56 on a higher TS% than Steph had tonight. But I can’t say his name 🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re 100% right. It was mind boggling during certain stretches of the game. Warriors get no whistle on 2 blatant fouls, no call leads to loose ball which is then picked up and turned into a fast break where the refs then call the softest foul possible against the Warriors. Steph just continues to get bumped, hacked, grabbed and….. nothing.

The most blatant that comes to mind is when Steph was bumped while shooting, no call. Misses because of said foul and Morant on the other end, ends up in a similar situation and they blow the whistle in less contact. Maybe even arguably not a foul.

I don’t get it.

It’s been like this for a long time honestly, as long as I can remember. It’s not always super bad, but tonight it was lol

99% of the time someone is complaining that this player or that player isn’t getting the whistle, it’s just a frustrated fan or player complaining. They’re venting.

It’s the NBA. Sometimes refs miss calls or even call a game here and there poorly. It sucks. But it happens. We complain, but we can all live with it at the end of the day.

But I’ve never seen a player get as poor a whistle as Steph does. He could have been slide tackled today and they still wouldn’t have called a foul.

It’s not unethical when the refs are doing everything they can to gift the game to Memphis

the butler did it

27 points on 7 FGM and 1 3PM is diabolical basketball terrorism.

I absolutely love it.

All the free throw merchantry by Butler feels justified because of how much defenders go Jon Jones on Curry and barely gets any calls.

I do not care the Warriors had more free throws this game. Steph should have shot 15 free throws by the third the way they were guarding. Scotty Pippen’s defense was a crime against humanity.

I definitely watched a play where he fouled him 3 times

Lol there was a point where the whole team was straight up wrestling/bear hugging/absolutely bodying Steph and the refs were playing Angry Birds on their phones.

Absurd

There was a possession where Steph was literally just bringing the ball up the court and his wrists got slapped by Pippen like 5 times, no whistle

Don’t tell u/caffeywasright - he thinks Steph gets all the calls

Take a look at the thread my guy.

Hell even a few games ago against the nuggets when we went like ²⁄₁₀ from the FT line to start the game (I was in attendance and it was appalling.

Steph would put Prime Hardens FT numbers to shame if he got Shais whistle

Sky needs a whole pack of cigs after tonight

and that’s not even mentioning playoff himothy butler iii

And Jimmy with a quiet 27, but Steph has no help lol

Nobody is ready for LOON3Y masterclass in the playoffs.

Jimmy ¹²⁄₁₂ from FT

i don’t remember the last time i saw curry pulling the trigger like he was in the first half

Kevon LoonThree

He’s leading the league in 3PT% (min 2 shots).

Having a laugh reading these

Nah I am cool. Would like to leave a series semi healthy.

These teams are always a few plays away from throwing haymakers lol.

That tech he got for pretending to shoot at the Warriors bench just before the end of the game shows that he hasn’t learned a damn thing.

This is a story that is as old as time. The refs doing everything in their power to keep a game close for no reason.

Lol no joke Steph was ragdolled today.

They probably aren’t going to win realistically. But at least the team is fun to watch, has gone from perpetual mediocracy to four rings / six nba finals, got to see 10-15 years of prime steph curry. At this point, everyone just needs to enjoy the ride and hope they have some fun games in the playoffs

I think you you forgot Ja was crazy good just cause steph played well. He was shooting well and driving fast af. Warriors played well but Ja was cooking too
