The Raptors had a good gameplan that worked. Played fully on top to make him back cut. Which he did a lot. But he’s still a little 6’3” guy so they could block some of them. And knock him to the ground with fouls. The combination tired him out. Steph definitely doesn’t want to attempt 19 2-pointers.

Honestly I was at the game and it still felt like every shot he took was gonna go in. And we face guarded him heavily all game all over the court.

That’s the live Steph effect when you don’t have graphs pulling up the shooting stats every time. Whenever he touches the ball, you get scared immediately.

Couldn’t buy a bucket inside the arc. That’s what happens when the team has no spacing.

he was shooting well before forcing shots in OT because the team crumbled.

Conveniently left out fg

Kobe up there proud

Westbrook fans popularized posting every stat but not including FG and turnovers

If this was Shai, Embiid or Harden we all know which part would be posted instead lol

This is a Steph glazing subreddit what do you expect lol

Curious, that

who is he gonna pass to on our team?

When teams light it up, scoring like 135-150, it’s generally because everyone is contributing, tonnes of guys scoring ~15-20 points. On nights like that the #1 option on the team plays a smaller role. But when shit just isn’t working in terms of team offence, the #1 option does their best to make up for it, this is when you see the top player score 40+ but everyone else on the team only combines for 60-70.

This isn’t really unique to the Warriors, it’s all teams. And the majority of the time I don’t think it’s the star player freezing everyone else out, it’s more often the star player going into takeover mode BECAUSE the team offence is struggling.

sounds like hes a losing basketball player!

probably because efficiency matters more than pure volume

Something something Ewing theory

It’s the same end to any dynasty, they just get old lol. There’s I think three MVP winners who have taken their teams to titles and won FMVP after age 34.

Kareem, MJ and Lebron.

Bulls are like the only dynasty that stopped on top. Every other one ends due to age.

Pump the brakes a bit there bud. They were one of the best teams in the league last year post-Butler trade and were steamrolling the Wolves on the road when Curry went down.

They’ve had some issues this year, but it ain’t the Kobe/Dirk/KG farewell tour where they’re winning 20 games a year. If they can avoid major injures, they’ll make the playoffs. And I’m not going to count out a team with Steph/Jimmy in the playoffs regardless of how old they are.

I realize that patience and reasonable takes aren’t really this sub’s MO, but we aren’t even halfway into the season yet and you’re declaring it over lol

Bad drafting just cooked them after a while.

These fans change quicker than any other fanbase, they don’t care about the product, just that they’re seen for the selfie.

Kerr is escaping any criticism

the best Warriors draft pick in the last several years is Ryan Rollins, who was developed under Doc Rivers in Milwaukee

All their draft picks have been busts or underperformers but the big ones are Wiseman at 2 and Kuminga at 7.

Do you mean what did Meyers know about drafting? or what did he know about the team construction and it’s future? Because he was the one who drafted those players. He is the one who made the poor picks and didn’t want to stay around and take the heat. Honestly I don’t think Meyers should get as much credit as he does, I firmly believe it was Jerry West who helped make the right picks and trades that led to the dynasty more than it was Meyers. I think that’s why he let West go, he didn’t wanna share the credit.

Honestly I am guessing its probably because the owners spent so much in luxury tax during those championship seasons they probably decided that they aren’t going to continue to do that no matter what, the Warriors spent a ton of money during that window, some teams haven’t spent the same amount of money on luxury tax in their whole history than the Warriors did in most of those seasons

Bros tired from carrying 😭

Literally no rebounds in OT + 37 yr old forced to carry the entire offensive load

not even a foul bro

box score watching? that was a dumb call by refs and that defender was fishing an elbow.

Hatin ahh comment

not even that bad

I love how folks have been so quick to maintain the Podz hate even though he’s been one of the solid options the past month while shooting 50% from field and 40% from 3. Buddy Hield has been unplayable but for some reason got 14 mins today while GP2 was a -19 in just 12 mins. Those two are also big reasons the Raptors were able to keep it close in regulation because they’ve continually made either boneheaded plays or are just complete zeros on offense.

I mean he’s just finna get hurt like what’s the point and you’ll probably have to give up dray who isn’t really helping but at least he’s playing most the time.

I hope not. They need someone to help curry. AD cant help Curry from the hospital.

How would the Warriors swing that deal?

id rather trade FRPs for Michael Porter Jr.

Curry is great but 37 and whatever team gets him has to give up assets/players what kind of contender can do that and remain good enough to contend

He’s the last person to do that, despite being the most deserving

No point doing that, he’s a 4 time champ with the Warriors. What would he even be leaving for?

I mean imagine someone asks you if you would trade 4 rings in exchange for being a trash team for a decade at least…

We are in that decade right now

I mean Kobe went out sad tbh. He was a shell of himself post Achilles. Curry is still an elite player

Glory has its cost, alas

hopefully him kd lebron harden and kahwi all join forces before they retire

Winning usually comes from players overperforming contracts. The warriors guys wanted to get paid. There’s nothing wrong with that based on their accomplishments, but this is the outcome usually. Duncan got his 5th ring because he kept taking like 50% paycuts on what he could have asked for and the team stayed good.

Kobe last 3 seasons:

• 27 wins

• 21 wins

• 17 wins

Curry last 3 seasons:

• 46 wins

• 48 wins

• 41 win pace

Nah, they’re really nothing alike lol

Warrior fans realize last year was maybe their best chance at going deep if Steph didn’t get hurt. The way they ended the regular season last year was basically a honeymoon stage, they wouldn’t be able to carry that type of winning % this year.

You know full well op ain’t going to bring up anything negative lol

Why doesn’t he get 25 rebounds and fight through doubles? Is he a choker?
