    the bucks have played like trash this entire game, curry should be able to dictate the flow of the game, instead he is Jag out there having no impact on this game

    what is that 5 straight blowouts curry has been apart of since last year

    Curry needs more slander. The NBA needs to flex all remaining gsw games off the calendar.

    Harden would take Wiggins, Wiseman and Obre to the conference semifinals minimum.

    The bucks have played very well this game. Not sure what you’re watching. They’re 44% from 3 and over 50% shooting. They have 100 in 3 quarters. How that equates to playing like trash is odd. If that’s trash every team should strive to play like that then

    Would never happen but it's probably better for the warriors future if they trade Curry for young prospects and picks.

    Tank to get a top 3 pick to pair with the top 3 protected pick they got from the t-wolves in the upcoming "loaded" draft.

    Add those two to Wiseman and whomever they get from trading curry. Future would be bright!

    warriors were getting destroyed by the likes of the suns and thunder early in the season last year till curry faked his injury. I already have a bet with my homie on over/under 10 games till curry does it again. He was never that guy yall made him out to be. Ben Taylor overrates off ball gravity, and underrates the type of gravity a guy like harden can produce for a horrible shooter like westbrook( who had as many points in the paint as giannis in 2020) because of hardens ability to attract 3 sometimes 4 defenders

    their playing well because curry is not helping guys like paschall and wiseman out, harden would be pick and rolling with wiseman all day, and would be putting pressure on the bucks defense constantly. The bucks are not even doubling curry, you cant get away with single coverage on harden( its suicide)

    They’re playing well bc they’re a good team. Curry is getting plenty of attention. Quit bringing up harden. This has nothing to do with him. This isn’t a harden lens discussion. Bucks playing like trash the entire game is just 100% false

    The lack of skill with giannis is yikes. Most unentertaining superstar in the league.

    Not running this offense lol. This offense would have harden on ball at least 2/3 less than he's accustomed to.

    Dude might not bother showing up if he had to keep giving up the ball to wiggins/oubre/pascal/looney and play off ball.

    great players cause you to create schemes to stop them. I dont see anything special the bucks are doing to limit curry, no traps, no hard doubles.. all the bucks are doing is stunting when curry has the ball. This is what damian lillard sees every game. Harden sees a much more extreme version of that. And im bringing up harden because it feels like im being vindictated. I have been saying curry was a product a perfect system, and him winning mvp over james harden in 2015 was a miscarriage of justice. Harden did way more heavy lifting that year because it was required. That rockets team in someways reminds me of this current warriors team. Oubre is similar to ariza, wiseman and looney similar to capela, they have wiggins who is an above average iso scorer. Harden was playing with corey brewer, josh smith, jason terry, pabla prigioni, and kostas papanikalou.

    Harden can play any offense, he is a complete player, can post up and play off-ball if he wants. The preseason game againist the spurs harden had 2 off-ball action cuts for catch and shoot threes. Ben Taylor overrates off-ball offense too much, defensive gravity should be measured in all areas.. and i would argue that no player has more gravity in the modern nba besides harden with giannis being a close second

    None of this means the bucks are playing like trash the entire game. I couldn’t careless about your harden lens. I don’t look at every game with him on my mind. You obviously do so. The bucks/gs has 0 relation to harden whatsoever. Go somewhere else with that. I ain’t trying to hear you b**** about harden when I’m watching a bucks/gs game where he is no where to be found

    GSW got a bit unlucky to start the season facing the top 2 teams in the east, but trailing almost 40 in both games still looks awful. I mean it's not like Curry is surrounded by G-leaguers like Harden used to be, which still managed to carry the team to over 50 wins a year.
