    Curry played like the MVP tonight, and Harden played like the runner-up.

    To win this series we need other guys to step up big.

    Is there a scarier situation in the NBA than seeing Stephen Curry open in the corner?

    Lately I've been struggling to go a full 24-hour day without ESPN reminding me that 2015 Steph Curry is the greatest player to ever step foot on the hardwood.

    All hail the Sinker of Threes and Brother of Splashes.

    Steph had a great game, agree but Harden had an all around better game. This has been the case pretty much all season. But yeah, agree, others will have to step up, cause GS is deep!

    Both guys played well last night, as in all season. I am very tired of the individual battle among the media and the fans. As a team, they had more people stepping up than us and we lost. But have some people who are capable of stepping up too.

    I said this before, the Warriors will be barely an average team, fighting for the last playoff spot, without Curry.

    Almost every time when he was out of the game, the Warriors were struggling to score the points. He is the only one on that team who can consistently create for others, and demand unbelievable attention from the other team.

    BTW, Thompson is way overrated. He makes so many dumb mistakes, makes JR Smith like a college professor with 150 IQ.

    And you were wrong before. They would have won fewer games, but they would have easily made the playoffs with that roster. Their defense is already ranked #1 and would only get better without Stephanie.

    Great player and he warranted his MVP consideration. But your analysis of the Warriors roster is pretty crazy. Thompson really isn't overrated anymore. I used to think he was but not after watching him this season.

    The premise of the OP in this thread is kind of funny, given Clippers Game #6.

    They both had great games, but I actually thought Harden was better.

    The irony is just too great.

    Hoping to bump this thread so this dude can come in here and show why the subjective stat crew is wrong more often than not.

    Curry is the MVP while Harden is not because he is a way better player than the latter. While one can say that the award is for the player who is most valuable to his team, Harden is still unworthy by this standard. Harden is the most valuable player to a mediocre team, underachieving team that should not have been in the playoffs if the Jazz did not have one of the worst late season choke job. On the other hand, Curry is the most valuable player to the greatest team of all time.

    It's funny how delusional homers keep denying that Curry and Harden are somehow on par.


    Face it folks, you can put out all the stats but Curry is tiers above Harden as a player.

    Curry is to Harden as Harden is to Lillard. It's like an SAT question. :grin:

    Is this Socratic Irony?

    I don't get what's ironic about Curry's record-smashing season this year being way better than last year? :confused:

    The case stands - more this year than EVER - that Curry isn't the MVP based on the marginal dropoff his team faces when he misses games.

    He is the best player (..maybe), but that doesn't fit the definition of MVP based on the same logic that awarded Iguodala the finals "MVP".

    But somehow people are using this as revenge against Harden? Harden v Curry and Curry v MVP are two separate cases. Don't let pettiness confuse you!
