I've said this time and time again when it comes to Steph v. every other player:

Nobody in the history of the game is defended like him, so you can't take any instance of where he's been stifled and use it in relation to another player, because no other player has had to deal with that defensive attention. If you review Game 3 of this season's Finals, Jimmy was defended 1v1 throughout the entirety of the game, and he was allowed to touch the ball, unimpeded, basically whenever he wanted - the Lakers were pretty much living with him as a scorer. Now, you compare that to Steph in playoff series' where defenses lose their cotdamn minds at his sheer presence; he doesn't even need to have the ball in his hands to where he has multiple defenders around him.

Can you imagine the destruction that Steph would inflict if teams didn't defend him like they do and were just willing to let him do whatever he wanted?

Steph and Kerr have had to gameplan and execute under more difficult circumstances to generate points than your regular team does. This ultimately is reflective of the limitations of the support cast over the last half a decade, which haven't been necessarily bad, it's just that they've been average.

aye, maybe this ain't the thread, but Jimmy Butler is doing the damn thang out there mayne. :wow:

I hate LeBron and I am salivating at the thought of the Lakers losing a 3-1 lead. i am praying to every god in every pantheon in every religion that this happens. I am lighting incense and sage in my house.

I don't think the NBA will allow it to happen tho :francis:

but if it does, us Warriors brehs will rain down fury on the heads on the rest of this board like nobody has ever seen

just watch this

it's reflective of the roster which was amplified even more vs the Toronto Raptors Finals. I think Steve Kerr and the Warriors organization realized this and has made the necessary corrections though.




The difference of how teams defend Steph Curry vs Anyone not named Steph Curry is massive

Ingles would still play around 25+ minutes. He can play 3/4, which would allow Draymond to play at the 5 when they go small. Y'all don't want to be running a lineup down the stretch with Chriss at the 5.

This would be the ideal lineup to run down the stretch:

Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Ingles
Draymond.


He'd play a similar role to Iggy; coming off the bench, but basically playing a starting-type role.
Hopefully, this comes true this season.

:lupe:
