Steph Curry allowing a 56 point deficit while going 0 for 7 on shots

[Luke Cage]

If he was actually a point guard and not a shooting guard that brings the ball up, he would've focused on passing after he started cold.
Going 0-7 with only 1 assist as a point is crazy to me.

Curry is 37 and KD is 36, in comparison when lebron was curry current age he was averaging over 30 points per game while playing over 37 minutes every night and was still clearly a top 5-10 player in the league, but his season got shortened because he was injured and was out for a lot of games. Its not unreasonable to ask that the same standards be held for other all time greats

Does everything you post have to posess LeBron undertones? You cant speak on the game of basketball at a grassroots level?

Steph curry is an all time great player and a top 10 player of all time that is the view i hold, folks have even gone as far as to label him as the best point guard in league history a sentiment which i disagree with but a good faith case can be argue for, regardless he is along with Lebron and durant the only two other aging superstars who are all time greats still competing, i think it is fair to hold both players to the same objective criterias and rules we hold lebron , we have to be fair and point out bad play and regression without favour or fear, and the truth is this season curry is showing clear signs of regression and shooting the ball inefficiently

Lol yes it is unreasonable. Bron is a major outlier.

 

[Koapa]

You mean this "young scoring guard" on the 4-21 Wizards -

Yooo they were down 13 too.

 

[MikelArteta]

Lol yes it is unreasonable. Bron is a major outlier.

out of guys 35 and over only 4 play more than 30 min a game - Durant, James, Curry, Brook Lopez

I respectfully disagree, curry is a top ten all time player and a lot of credible people on this forum and in nba media has heralded curry as the greatest point guard in league history over magic johnson. Lebron is nearly three years older and is averaging 23 points per game , over eight rebounds and nine assists, and the vast majority of commentary on here has been that he is washed and no longer a starting caliber player on the team anymore, that his play holds the team back.
I see no reason why curry who has played far less minutes and is younger shouldn't be held to a higher standard than that, scoring two points in a game and losing by 50 points to a memphis team who have been beaten by mediocre squads this season is inexcusable and warrants critic along with his regression in quality play this season

Did you watch the game? Because it sounds like you didn't. You just made up a narrative about his performance.

When Steph exited the game in the 1st quarter, the Warriors only had 1 assist as a team. That assist was Steph's. They only had 3 assists, in total, in the 1st quarter, going down 15-37. They weren't hitting their shots because they got completely overwhelmed on both sides of the floor.

Why the fukk would he focus on passing when they were down by 20, 30, 40+ points?

More to the point - the Warriors pass the ball until they create the best shot, it's not just one person passing and then someone shooting. That's not how their offense works.

Uh it’s not about greatness as far as ability and skill. It’s unreasonable to expect other players to be able to have the physical longevity of LeBron because we’ve never seen it before. And also, Curry is a guard. Bron’s longevity of high performance has been extended by moving to power forward and no longer guarding opposing small forwards consistently. If Bron had to defend opposing guards or small forwards consistently he would’ve declined to where he is now 4-5 years ago.

What does this even mean? He still had only one assist. My "narrative" isn't false.
you saying he did a good job creating opportunities for his teammates?
people try to rank this guy above Magic, but a good point guard should be able to affect the offense even when his shot isn't falling.
You claiming he is essentially a system player isn't a good excuse for those type of numbers,

I tend to agree the notion that steph curry was ever above magic johnson is too far a reach especially with steph lackluster plays in some crucial final series and games, in comparison magic johnson was the finals mvp as a rookie in the league. There is no excuse for scoring 2 points , none. He had a great peak but he is still solidly no 2 behind irvin

 

[itsyoung!!]

Getting blown out by 50 points to the same team that got beat by the mediocre lakers is absolute shameless, curry having less than five total points is no excuse, i said it before curry is clearly showing regression and isnt playing well, its time to talk about this more seriously and analyze it

shut up bytch the lakers lost by 40+ points just like a week or two ago

Your narrative is false because you looked at the box score stats and didn't watch the game.

One of the the most prevalent disorders amongst NBA fans is their complete misguidance of looking at box score stats and making up a story from it. The game isn't played in the box score. Not only are you not able to contextulize stats that you're not watching the game of, but box score stats only make up a finite amount of actions during the game, and they can often be misleading and not reflective of impact.

you saying he did a good job creating opportunities for his teammates?

He didn't go a good job, period. Nobody on the team did. They were missing open shots, weren't executing on offense and showed minimal effort. Their offense functions by moving the ball, endlessly, typically using Steph to drag in help defenders to open up easy scoring opportunities for the rest of the team. Sometimes he makes the final pass before a shot, sometimes someone else makes the final pass before a shot.

Assists aren't going to tell you how many buckets Steph creates for his teammates.

people try to rank this guy above Magic, but a good point guard should be able to affect the offense even when his shot isn't falling.

This is patently ridiculous.

The regular season is 82 games long, players have bad games, especially in this context when Steph is nearly 37-years-old. Techincally, Magic wasn't in the league at the same age that Steph is right now. Never mind the fact that Steph is always affecting the offense whenever he's out there, because all eyes are on him. His off-ball movement shifts entire defenses alone.

During Magic's final season when he was 36, he had a game where he only had 2 assists in a loss and went 3-13 from the field. Why didn't he create more opportunities for his teammates during that game? By your logic he's not a good point guard.

You claiming he is essentially a system player isn't a good excuse for those type of numbers,

Was Magic a system player because he only got 2 assists in a loss when his shot wasn't falling?
