That's insensitive to your fellow unstable austistics :ufdup: You should know better after narrowly winning your battle with suicide in the OKC series.

Curry's finals performance we just watched was as bad as anything we've seen from any so-called great in history.
The battle was already over from the beginning because you were never concerned with facts and reality. You just wanted to push an agenda.

At least harden was 22
Curry was the top scorer for the Warrirors in the Finals last season (10 ppg more than any other Warriors player) while dealing with heavy defensive attention and traps (more than every single other player in that series), and you agree with idiots that say he disappeared?

??? That battle was waged within yourself, guy. You were ready to commit that, for God's sakes. You can blame ol Prof for all your troubles.

Wouldn't say he "disappeared" last season but he absolutely underperformed in relation to his peak . It's been 2 straight finals where he's underperformed significantly below his expectations. Also like I said harden was 22 years old when he struggled in the finals, curry is 28+ in the prime of his career.

I like how Jill always likes to throw in that Steph had to deal with heavy defensive pressure. Word, as the league MVP in the Finals?? :leon: Ya don't fukkin say... What a unique struggle. I mean its not like Lebron faced an even heavier defensive focus as the only viable option capable of creating while playing with a YMCA squad against a deep team or anything. Definitely, little Steph deserves extra credit for playing against defense.

Iggy was their 2nd best scorer,
81.5 percent of Iguodala’s scores versus Cleveland were assisted. The nearest defender on all but nine of his 37 made field goals was Mozgov, Thompson or 34-year-old James Jones. - '15 Finals.

He was benefiting on open shots and open floor space when the Cavs were focused on containing Curry and Klay. He basically had his shots handed to him on a silver platter with minimal defensive attention.
a better plus/minus,
Without the proper context this is meaningless. It's all about the lineups you play in. Iggy typically played with against second units (more so during the first half of the series) with a mixture of the starters or he played with the best starting lineups. He was an integral part - but not the most important part.
had a much better ortg, better drtg, shot better from the field and from 3
You can't use ORTGs and DRTGs for players that have two different roles on a team - they're TEAM stats (I don't know how many times this needs to be said).All it measure is how many points per est. 100 possessions the team scores when the player is on the floor. Unless you're the main scorer/ball-handler it's pointless even using ORTGs for individual players Are you seriously going to use him shooting better from the field when he didn't have to deal with all the defensive attention that Curry dealt with? You're smarter than this.

David Lee, Festus Ezeli, Harrison Barnes, Shaun Livingston all had a higher ORTG in the Finals - you gonna argue they had more importance and impact on offense than Curry did too?

Mariesse Speights, David Lee and Leonardo Barbosa all had a higher DRTG in the Finals - you gonna argue that they had more importance and impact ton defense than Iggy did too?
took care of the ball better
:heh:

Please don't tell me you're being serious.
and played lockdown defense on LeBron when everybody else was getting cooked.:wow:
This is false. Draymond had as much influence on LeBron by helping out on drives and deterring him away from the paint. Draymond had the most impact and importance on the defensive end - especially during the second half of that series when he anchored the defense; switching on any player and protecting the rim (when Bogut was benched)
How exactly was Steph better/more important?:patrice::usure:
Because he carried the biggest offensive workload and was their best scorer by a considerable margin while dealing with the Cavs defense centered around stopping him - while role players (like Iggy) benefited from open shots. I don't know why I need to keep stating this.

And @VegasCAC and @Preacher.

It's putting his offensive performance in perspective when comparing it to Iggy who benefited from open shots because the Cavs were concerned with containing Curry (discussing the '15 FMVP cases of Iggy/Curry). Do I need to spell out everything?

B-b-but Warriors lost cause Andrew Bigot didn't get his 12 mins a game :lupe:
And because Draymond Green missed game 5. Don't forget about Iguodala's back and Harrison Barnes missing all his shots. The greatest shooter couldn't get them a single point in the last 5 minutes of a Game 7 at home, but we'll excuse him.

Of course the ATL
Say a player that averaged 26 ppg (10 more ppg than any other Warriors player) while being trapped and double teamed throughout the course of a series disappeared brehs. The only ones that are twisting shyt is dude that can't recognize what importance he had in that Finals series.

SOHH we just gonna ignore the fact that you keep saying the same LIE that Steph was the Warriors most important and best player last yr in the Finals despite Iggy being the FMVP? :ohhh:

He had one subpar game, otherwise he was good to great in the remaining games. Seriously what Finals were you watching? The Cavs were trapping and doubling him all series long yet he still managed to outscore all the other Warriors by 10 ppg. He moved the ball on (i.e. made the right basketball decision) when he was getting doubled - allowing Draymond and others to capitalize on 4v3. I don't see why this is so hard to understand?
