They do not have a superstar. De'Aaron was supposed to become a star at least. Didn't happen yet. Hield was gonna shoot consistently, didn't happen consistently. Haliburton was their last straw and he got hurt.
warriors have replaced iggy, klay and bogut with wiseman, wiggins, and oubre. these guys are super long and athletic to help curry conserve energy on defense and save it for offense
Those guys are nothing without Curry. Perks of have having a Superstar that makes his teammates better and a guy that fits in seamlessly into TEAM basketball.
so draymond is not a 4x defensive player of the year, oubre and wiggins are not proven long athletic defenders and occasional scorers.( both have been proven to average at least 19 in this league). Having draymond roam as a safety with wiseman as the backline for defense will help any team. And yes oubre was NOT making 3's but he was still defending at a high level im sure you are gonna say iggy, klay and bogut were not elite players without curry lol. We saw what happened when curry has to defend and play offense, he becomes a brick machine. Draymond coming back saved their season
Curry doesn’t need Draymond. He’s a luxury when he plays well. The same cannot be said for Draymond not needing Curry. He looked like another scrub role player last year when he had his chance to be “the man”.
As much as I can't stand that Draymond will get HOF consideration, he does make Curry better... Draymond routinely passes to Curry like the ball is a hot potato when on offense, racking up his assists... He stinks but he knows where Curry likes the ball... For a shooter as lethal as Curry, that's priceless!...
That’s fair for sure. Dray is a very good passer for a ‘big’ man and it’s definitely the easy/right move to get the ball to the greatest shooter of all time.
Seems like the teams that had a lot of rest and weren’t in the bubble are off to a good start. A lot of the “usuals” are underachieving.
curry can not bring the ball up all game and then have to play defense, we already saw he couldnt before draymond came back
I’m sure Curry can walk the ball up like Harden and achieve a 1.7 assist to TO ratio in the regular season and a 1.65 ratio for the playoffs. This is a big reason why you will never ever everrrrrrrr win a Championship with Harden as a main option.
Another one is that, he doesn't take criticism from top teammates well. He be like the McHale gif when he is just either brushing it off, you can't get to him in extreme situations. Referring to CP3 situation. That's really the thing, you behave like the Diva side of Jordan but you are far from being Jordan in terms of having the blue print to a championship.
Very true, I doubt that other teams know how to use Draymond. It feels like he is predestined to exist with Curry and Klay. Maybe Portland but McCollum and Dame are not on Curry and Klay's level yet.
