Lol. Except, he didn't have the 1-9 of the warriors healthy. Warriors collapsed when Bogut went out. Played horrible in the gme without draymond. Would have lost to OKC if Klay didn't go off in game 6. Stephanie is absolutely a shooter and nothing more, relying on the depth of GS and their system to give him gravitas. Still not a better GS pg than tim hardaway or prime baron davis, let alone nba greats. To still be in denial of that is a testament to the stupidity of the average espn fan.
Where are you now? *crickets* When steph had one good game you posted this in every thread criticising steph...epic collapse
He played again post-season defence that's why his playoff numbers last year and this year are really not that different.
Funny that Lebron doesn't get this kind of apologists riding his jock. When Lebron underperformed in the playoffs, no one was asking if he had a bad knee. When Steph Curry gets shut down by physical defense, he's injured all of a sudden. LOL.
Here...still think it's idiotic to judge players one game at a time, my reaction was in response to that. Warriors win this one and no one here would say anything. They lose, he's crap. Bron wins this and is redeemed, he loses and would be the biggest loser in history going by some of the comments here. I'm not a fan of Curry or the GSW, it's just annoying to see so many fans base their narratives on one game instead of a career. Don't think the people here were talking sh when he won a ring last year and it also was dead silent when GSW was up 3-1. NBA fans in majority, especially on this board, seem incredibly short-sighted and overreact on every game.
I said it earlier. These threads are so predictable. When the guy plays well, all the fans come out to gloat. When the guy plays bad, all the haters come out to gloat. Nobody is convincing anybody about anything.
75% of voters are gloating at clowns like yourself. The daddy's been gloating the entire season - there's a reason nba greats played down the media hype regarding curry. No one who can actually play basketball gives him respect as anything more than an All Star ( at best ). Last year's Warriors run had no Spurs - involved playing crappy or injured teams - but these glaring facts don't matter to casual fans looking to jump on any hype wagon thrown in their face. So the trend of Stephie needing the entire depth chart to win games isn't a surprise to anyone. Historic games from Klay and Draymond carried the Dubs the entire playoffs. He is what he is - a shooter and nothing more. Nobody cares about convincing low IQ fans about anything - we're just laughing in your face. Spoiler Heh heh heh . . .

Curry is a great great player - there is no doubting that. GS losing isn't a statement on Curry and the Warriors - they won 73 freaking games and barely lost the NBA championship. Barely! It's a testament to how good Lebron is and how great the defense of the Cavs is. They really played some incredible defense and really didn't give Curry much room to maneuver. I was rooting for the Cavs because really I feel Cleveland - well they were a lot like Houston fans ya know? And also, I felt the splash brothers were way too arrogant. They needed some humble pie. But to knock Curry is ridiculous.

Not sure if serious... Curry had a nasty mcl sprain early on in the playoffs. It's not a fabricated excuse out of nowhere. If LeBron had a known injury sustained during the playoffs of course people would mention it if he doesn't play well.
He's the best shooter we have ever seen. But it was ridiculous how people had the nerve to compare him to Lebron.
Its been like that the entire post season when Curry plays bad he's not 100% when he goes off he is the GOAT. He gagged when it counted end of story.
Lebron played with a bad back a lot last year, and in the playoffs. Nobody is 100%. You just gotta will yourself. Curry moved fine on both ends. His shot just didn't fall as consistently as it did during the regular season. That was his biggest weapon and it failed him. If he wants to be in the same convo as Lebron, he has to dominate in other aspects of the game. If you can't get 30, get 10+ assists and don't be a liability on defense.
Steph is not just a shooter, but he sure as hell played like one. Kept going for the big play, the huge shot when there had to be better options available. He rushed possessions and also wasted them. He wanted to play like regular season Steph, care free and loose but that can't be done in the playoffs. Every possession is critical. He'll learn from this and be great next season, but the rest of the league smells blood and the Cavs and OKC have cracked the code.
You can't expect to shoot that well v. playoff defense. Common sense says no, but yet he still tried to play the same way. Regular season defense is not the same as playoff defense.
The funniest thing was watching Kyrie nail the game winner in his face. But instead of making a smart play at the other end, he just tries to do some spectacular unnecessary bull***** home run hitting play which wasn't called for. Like he needed to just one-up what Kyrie did. Amazing. Thank you Steph.
