Steph Curry broke his left hand: Will be out 3+ months

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

How many of you gsw fans are secretly happy that Steph doesnt have to play the whole season? Looking alot less of threat than he has in the past. Sure you didn't want to see him injured but yikes, you guys sure dodged one huh.

When its all said and done, steph will be known as a goat shooter, mvp, and champ but in reality he is a shiny golden peice of a puzzle. With the right peices with him he makes a picture look immaculate. He's been apart of great pictures for 5 years now. But sadly on his own he's not who we thought he was. Can yall atleast be honest with yourselves about that?

Take a step back, read the bold over again, and ask yourself the same thing.

Here you are putting all your focus on THREE losses of a new season, with nine new pieces, most of whom are inexperienced (two out of the three new pieces who did have experience only returned in the last game), as evidence for your warped perception of reality, as a weight against someone who's been the lifeforce of the most dominant offense in NBA history, with all types of different personnel, all types of different levels of talent, over the last half a decade.

I question if some of y'all really understand the game, where you can watch someone like Steph who opens up the floor for his teammates more than anyone else that's ever stepped foot on a court, and you draw a conclusion that he's part of the picture and not the picture itself.

Nobody has made the game easier for his teammates than Steph has. Nobody. The Warriors have basically been playing 5v4 on every possession that Steph has been on the floor for, over the last half a decade, at times even 5v4, 5v3, 5v2 and as we saw in the most recent Finals - 5v1.

Look at who you're quoting and then look at what they've been saying about Steph/Warriors over the last five seasons.

He made a good point. I normally don’t dap trolls but I had to laugh...

So that title in '15 was a fluke, lol, you got it.

Dude is officially a buster, straight mental retardation

Where did 3 months come from

The fact that people act like Steph ain’t earn his credentials in those years prior to KD is ridiculous.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The league was already going towards 3pt lead offenses since 04-05. Steph didn't revolutionize that.

Big reason Steph jumped was the addition of Iguodala and Kerr's arrival. GS offense is pretty much D'Antonis offense without a dominant lead ball handler.

This doesn't even make any sense, whatsoever.

D'Antoni's offense is what it is because it's a dominant lead ball-handler offense, which is quite literally the opposite to what Kerr's system is, which adopts principles of the Spurs' motion offense and Tex's Triangle - not D'Antoni's.

Steph and Klay were good but not monsters until Year 1 with Kerr and Steph was already in the league for a couple of years by then. He was likely an All Star but not a defense breaking MVP player. That offense helped him a ton.

The offense helped Steph less, and more helped the players around him. If Steph played more on ball, his teammates wouldn't have had the same degree of easy scoring opportunities that they've had when he plays off it, for the simple fact he attracts more defensive attention when he's constantly moving.

His career-high 54-point game came in 2013:



He was already a monster before Kerr came; Kerr's arrival basically coincided with him rebuilding his body (to get over the injuries) and fine-tuning his shooting mechanics. I've said this many a time, but Kerr said Steph could put up video-game #s if they simply ran the high PnR all the time, but what good are individual numbers when you can have him sacrifice those numbers for the betterment of the team offense, where more players are getting involved, and Steph playing off-ball gives them more and easier scoring opportunities.

The power behind the GS offense has been Steph and their chemistry, and they've only managed to have that level of chemistry because everyone is getting involved and everyone is getting wide-open shots because of the defensive attention Steph receives.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Kerr has gone on record saying he's felt guilty at times that he takes advantage of Steph's unselfishness, where he doesn't get the credit he deserves, because he's sacrificing his numbers for the team to have a better offense. Even Iggy's spoken about this too. Cats have been so conditioned by what box score stats and traditional basketball lore tell them that they're blind to what's happening on the floor.

There's no such thing as a fluke when winning a championship. Injuries are a part of the game. You can't just expect teams to just not play because a team is injured.

You wanna find your way to the Raptors are disrespected thread?? We need that non-partisan voice.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

You would have thought Curry was burying 3s in every osters

I have never seen majority of coli celebrate a player getting injured,continue to shyt on him and literally rewrite all kinds of history to shyt on a player like this before. normally whenever a player gets injured and someone makes a classless post, it is usually met with firm condemnation by the majority but with curry, it's the majority that's acting like scumbags here rather than the tiny minority

This goes way beyond sport rivalry and tribalism shyt imo. it's personal for many on here and anyone who denies or downplays the vitriol is a liar

You would have thought Curry was burying 3s in all these posters faces for the last 5 years.

 

[Guess Who]

Sad for Steph but it’s a blessing in disguise for the warriors.
