    Or maybe because he had one of the greatest offensive regular seasons of all-time.

    Wasn't your argument that we wouldn't have been able to acquire Durant even if he wanted to come to Houston? That we wouldn't have been able to have Harden, CP3, and Durant on the same roster?

    It's the same conclusion, just worded differently. You need to read more carefully.

    exactly. he had one of the greatest seasons ever and he had one of the best PER's ever. PER is not underrating steph.



    huh? durant signed the season before we got cp3. we had plenty of cap room to sign durant because that was the cap spike offseason. by the time we got cp3, we could only trade for him with existing contracts because we had used up all our cap room. so i suppose we could have traded for another star but that doesn't happen very often, but we definitely couldn't have signed anyone with cp3 on the team.

    steph's last elimination game before the kd security blanket:

    17/2/5 on 6/19 shooting

    steph's first elimination game after the kd security blanket:

    21/7/3 on 6/17 shooting

    starting to see why he needed kd.


    anyway, i'm calling a truce for now. we'll check back in on the curry carry in a couple of weeks to see how it's going.

    It kind of does. Assists are used in the calculation of PER. In the past, Curry created opportunities for teammates through his off-ball movement and its impact on the defense. In these situations, if the Warriors scored, Curry wasn't credited with any sort of stat, and this affected his PER.

    The way that people grade NBA players is that once you win your ring, it doesn't matter if you had some really bad playoff games after. You got your ring. Harden hasn't.

    I don't know why people think Curry is some glorified role player who can't carry teams. He is the reason the Warriors engine runs during their peak. His ability to be an elite ball handler whole so being an elite off ball player makes him so easy to build around abd also very easy to build a difficult to stop offense that isn't predictable.

    Every single warrior on the court can go iso even wiseman outside of maybe draymond. They can all put the ball on the floor and make a move to the rim. I don’t see where a guy like pj tucker would get minutes let alone start on this warriors team

    I do not agree every time but hell yeah, he is very easy to build around.

    He is also very unselfish.
