    No, I'm focusing on the defensive breakdown which is the goal of the playmaker. You've failed to credit Curry as a playmaker despite him causing defensive breakdowns. It's illogical.

    And yes you did say this. He was the best player in game 2 and in game 4. Cp3 was better in game 5. And its how your perform in both wins and losses that matter. See, this is the BS qualifier I was talking about. LOL you said he coasted against the Wolves and the Jazz lmao implying that's why Harden did better than him against those teams. You are full of crap.

    Im not going to sift through your garbage. LMAO. I also remember you saying that the Wolves werent good against us because Butler wasnt "the leader" LMAO. Your takes are garbage.
    It sounds like you use qualifers as a way to mask your shitty takes like you are doing right now LMAO. You are horrible.
    LMAO. Draymond is a top 10 passer in the league, there arent "point forwards" in this league like him who can perform the passes that he does. He makes all kinds of passes You are a full of ****. And I trust Ben Taylor more than your dumbass any day of the week.

    As long as that player is a shooter, it's not a problem because you can put the ball in Green's hands. You can also use him as a screener. He's also great at 4v3s.

    As long as that player is a shooter, its not a problem. Obviously having an offball player helps more but he's not some low iq moron that kills offenses. Both the offense and the defense has improved since he came back(their offense is still mediocre though LOL) His value also comes mainly from defense where he's probably in the 99th percentile in the league. He will help any team win. He's a defensive superstar.

    Eric Gordon was better in game 2, and Chris Paul was better in game 4. Efficiency matters.

    Honestly, it sounds like you're embarrassed because of your poor reading comprehension. No worries. Your frustration is understandable.

    Off the top of my head......Lebron?

    Any ball-handler NBA should be able to capitalize on a 4v3. That's nothing special.

    I think you overestimate how many ball-dominant scorers would be willing to play off-ball.

    Also, I've always maintained that Draymond Green's value came primarily on the defensive end. I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.

    The Warriors had a prime Draymond and Iggy along with a still very good David West . That team was loaded beyond belief. They were loaded on both sides of the ball

    Durant
    Curry
    Thompson
    Iggy
    Green

    all in their primes. That was just unfair

    Knicks looking good.

    Curry can’t carry a team.

    I like it.

    thats not gravity, steph curry went backdoor and the knicks went to contest a potential WIDE OPEN layup. They rather give up a wide open 3 to historically poor 3 pointer than a wide open layup to curry. Knicks played that correctly draymond just made the shot

    gravity is doubling triple teaming a guy like harden and leaving durant wide open

    andrew wiggins is 5th in the league in blocked shots per game. oubre and wiggins are a better defensive tandem than iggy and klay

    CAN STEPH CURRY CARRY HIS OWN TEAM?

    Without Draymond Green, heck no.

    Draymond quarterbacks both the offense and defense and makes life much easier on Steph. I will respect Ben Taylor if he has Draymond rated higher on his player rankings than Curry. Because Ben claims he is big on the eye-test, and what the eye-test shows me is that this warriors team without Draymond is completely different than with Draymond. Im glad Draymonds ejection happened mid-game as well, so we could see the difference without him in the 2nd half.

    Draymond is the MVP of this warriors team.

    It's sad that the Warriors will never be what they once were. And the Rockets won't have a team to do battle one more time. A rivalry cut short.

    you are missing a nuance and being an insightful ballwatcher

    if the advertiser puts a beef label on the can of pork , does it make the beef ?

    No, of course.

    the same goes for the last 2 series

    Rockets won the last 2 series on the basketball court, with their effort, skills and made basketball plays.

    And the fact that the refs have chosen not to register it and presented it as warriors wins does simply not make it so.

    On contrary, the nba league office intervention only makes it even more evident that rockets were the better team.
    How so? Well, if warriors were the better adam silver would have never intervened so blatantly.

    So we have it from the horses mouth that the rockets prevailed.

    Tendentious officiating after rockets took a decisive 15 points lead in game 7 in 2018 and particularly tendentious officiating in the first game of the last series made it clear nba front office was well aware of the fact that rockets were the better team.
