    Yeah it did. I mean he also had a whole season to make sure his team finished ahead, but he couldn't get it done which is why he ended up in the play in tournament.

    Warriors proved that formula "could" win championships. Usually thats how to set a trend. Remember up until warriors' first chip, guys like Barkley still harped on that "jump shooting team don't win" mantra. If Nash suns did it, then they'd be remembered for this role more.

    Not you. You're an idiot. It's unlikely you'll be able to figure it out.

    No way. He did enough to get them in the post season. I’m not going to use one game to make that call. They got screwed by the gimmicky play in. Credit to Memphis though. They played great. That was a great basketball game.

    Absolutely it was a success. They outperformed expectations and Curry played his ass off all year. Everyone sees that except delusional harden stans.

    Who knew there were so many Curry Fans on the Site

    Seriously. . . When the Rockets Played the Warriors. . . .. I guess we can see who was secretly rooting for the Warriors.

    Make no Mistake. . .you are Curry Stans as someone says

    There is no way to spin this. . it was not a successful season.
    Him being in the MVP top 3 is a f*cking travesty

    Yeap. After all the hoopla, Curry can't even carry a team to the playoffs like Harden did multiple times. Trade Curry and Harden and keep the same teams and Harden has multiple rings.

    now missing the playoffs is a success lol

    When the 16-17 Rockets blew past expectations led by Harden and finished with 55 wins making it to game 6 of the 2nd round, we get the “trade Harden” thread because he had a terrible last game. Didn’t matter that we got much further than anyone thought possible heading into the season. But Curry stans will big-up a 9th place finish

    Curry already got exposed last year so I'm not even surprised because he's not James Harden.

    I think this was a successful season for Curry. He led the league in scoring on tremendous efficiency with a weak supporting cast. For years, his doubters have been saying that his elite percentages were the result of having stacked teams. Or that his body would break down if he had to carry a team. Or that his percentages would drop significantly once defenses focused on him 100%.

    He proved all his doubters wrong.
