wrong. dubs set illegal screens. thats what they do. they being draymond and bogut.
klay gets called for holding all the time. which is why he has that stank look on his face most games. lol.
iggy doesnt grab like that until you try to bulldoze him like bron does. especially this season since bron is a step slower then he was in the past. still faster than most. but slower is slower. all that crying about not getting calls for bron was bogus. he wanted callls he got in the past that he didnt deserve. he had the same guys on him that made his fg% drop like rain drops in last years finals. so why do they all of a sudden have to hack you to stop you from scoring at a efficient rate? they dont. bron went crazy when the big and defender was out of the game while the other defense had back issues. immediately after iggy's back felt better in game 7, draymond was on the court the entire time. bron cant make a consistent shot. thats not coincedence. gstate have the people to slow lebron down. those are the facts. we've seen them do it before. without hacking him.
what people miss is bron dipping that shoulder into people. thats called a charge. but they never call it. so if iggy and the band starts smacking bron after he hits them with the shoulder lean. its a no call since the refs chose not to call born for an offensive foul. if he wants it called right. he would have 4 offensive fouls a game.
Breh you know what post I quoted and you know what double standard I was referring to. This is the point of contention. This is why I quoted you.
Just like you can't change the meaning of "double standard" you can't change what the point of contention is seeing as how I was the one who challenged you on the point above thusly creating the point of contention. You were wrong on that...the post quoted directly above...that's it. I'm sure you will post that same stuff again that I wasn't responding to again or try to act like I just don't get it again or call for more like-minded folks to back you up on one of those tangents like it proves something. Feel free. I am not gonna keep going in circles and on all of these tangents because you can't acknowledge you were wrong about something.

He nor his butt-buddy @Malta will never admit to being wrong. That's why it's so fun to clown them.
As great as Lebron James was on Sunday night, that’s how pathetic Steph Curry was. The supposed “face of the NBA” looked woefully disinterested in defending the title for the Golden State Warriors, while James seemed like every dumb Skip Bayless rant about his ineptitude ran through his head on a continuous, infuriating loop. James was so much better than Curry when it mattered most that it leaves you wondering how the script could ever possibly have been flipped in the reigning NBA MVP’s favor.
It wasn’t just the eye test that Curry failed, either. His performance in Game 7 of the NBA Finals was historically disappointing statistically. Since the 1983-84 season (the year from which full stats are available on BasketballReference.com), a star of Curry’s caliber has never performed so poorly in a loss in a game that deep in the Finals.
ADVERTISING
That may be hard to believe. Or not. Either way, the numbers don’t lie. Since that 1983-84 season, there have only been 48 times that a starting player attempted 10 or more field goals and scored 17 or fewer points in a Game 6 or Game 7 that their team lost in the NBA Finals. Of those 48, only 14 had a worse field goal percentage than Curry’s .316.
And I think it goes without saying that Steph Curry’s 30 points per game during the regular season was far higher than the averages of any of those 14 guys below him on the list. The closest comparison you can make to a superstar like Curry was Patrick Ewing’s 17 points in Game 6 of the 1994 NBA Finals in which he was 6 of 20 (.300) from the floor. Ewing averaged 24.5 points per game that year, so 17 points in a game of that magnitude was presumably a disappointment. However he also contributed a game-high 15 rebounds that night while matched up against Hakeem Olajuwon; so his impact was definitely felt elsewhere, whereas Curry’s was most certainly not.
In fact, it’s hard to argue that any of those other 47 performances were put on by players that were the kind of pure shooter that Curry is. But even Hall of Fame players who had rough games point-wise managed to make their presence felt in other ways.
Check out these two games on the list from Larry Bird and Magic Johnson for example:
They both shot .375 or below from the field and each scored just 16 points. But Bird had 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, while Magic had 5 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. The best Curry could muster was 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block to compliment his meager shooting percentage. Plus it’s worth noting that the basketball that Bird and Magic played in the 80’s came before the high-octane shooting of guys like Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson began changing the game into what it is today.
Curry won his second of consecutive MVP Awards this year and led his team to the best regular -season record of all time. At the end of the day, that forces us to hold him to a higher standard. Heading into this series, people had fully embraced him as the consensus best player in the NBA. Comparisons to Michael Jordan were being tossed around more casually than they’d ever been with Lebron James or Kobe Bryant. He was being given every benefit of the doubt that he would rise to the occasion in the NBA Finals.
Win or lose, Curry was expected to play his ass off.
If he had put up 28 points and hustled until the final buzzer went off, this would be an entirely different conversation; one that focuses on Lebron’s redemption rather than Curry’s descent. But that’s simply not what happened. Curry was mediocre on a night when a true legend should have been extraordinary; or at least looked like he was trying. Stephen Curry’s Game 7 performance will go down in the annals of basketball history as one of the most disappointing showings ever.
Steph Curry's Game 7 Might've Been The Worst Choke Job Ever
"Steph is already better than Isaiah ever was"-Dumb and Dumberer.
The posts clearly states -
it was only to highlight the double standard that people use for the Warriors and other teams and the fact that people were starting to feel justified about their opinion that the Warriors couldn't beat a healthy Cavs - when they don't use the same rule for the Warriors.
How can one say that the Warriors can't beat a healthy/full-strength Cavs team (after the Cavs won this year's Finals), when the Cavs didn't beat a Warriors team at full-strength either? I mean after all, the Warriors were 3-1 against the Cavs when both teams had a full complement of players.
How can you not see this? That is not changing or manipulating the meaning of "double standard". Again if the Warriors won under those circumstances this board would be singing a different tune. That is a double standard. That 'like-minded' poster that agreed with me, only agrees with me because he's SEEN all the posts/threads over the last two seasons; he's seen how posters use one rule for other teams but don't use it for the Warriors.
The only one who's wrong is YOU. I came to that conclusion [post you originally quoted] based off what I've read on this board over the last two seasons.
You do realize that both of those posts are stating the same thing, right? One is just elaborating on the point more.
Tell us more about Steph being better than Isaiah fakkit.All I saw, you know damn well I ain't reading that big ass block of text Doeboy
Beg for my attention so badly and make up shyt I say when I said.....In the Curry vs Zeke thread, @ me again you obsessed homo
Victim of Racism
I'm a brehette
How many players with serious injuries are casually dunking in pre-game warmups after declaring they're ''back"?
I think it was a windmill dunk too. 
He's not currently better than Stockton either after this all time choke job. The point is that you've prematurely hopped on dude's dikk and anointed him as this all time great player when he hasn't proven it yet. You stupid motherfukker

Who said anything about Stockton you fukking fakkit? You said Zeke, don't try and flip it now. @ me, misquote me, and then say more stupid shyt. You're a pressed homo starving for me to talk to you, point blank period.

I didn't quote your fakkit ass. I mentioned you saying that you can't admit when you're wrong. The quote was attributed to "dumb and dumberer", so which one are you?In the thread that you linked that old post from, you're in there arguing that Steph is better than Stockton. At this point after this playoff performance and finals expos all, that's just as ridiculous as saying that he's better than Isaiah. Dummy
