Ok but what does his 1v1 game have to do with these circumstances? He was in very few if any 1v1 situations, he was getting trapped to the extent he couldn't get a shot off. 1v1 skills are irrelevant when you're being guarded like thatas a long time Curry fan, I unfortunately agree. His 1v1 has always been less than desired compared to other great players.

No he isn’t. In this scenario you throw some traps and double teams at KD and have Dillon attack his base and hips and dig in on him with roaming help defenders and what you’re getting is a volume scoring performance with a bunch of TO’s from Durant.Steph was easier to contain than kd. You can't stop kd from getting a shot off, you can with steph...
Yes u can trap him he struggles against traps in the playoffs in his careerYea cause he 7 foot. You can't trap a nikka his size but you can with steph
Wtf AI do all them other years?Also AI took a VASTLY subpar team to the finals and competed. And instead of being celebrated AI was criticized for his # of shot attempts/labeled a chucker, even though he was the only viable scoring option on his team, his goalpost didnt have any wheels on it unfortunately
Memphis is better than GS. It’s an ensemble squad of youth and vets that is scrappy as fukk they have depth.
I did? I don’t remember voting. If I did it’s because I thought Steph would go nuclear and carry them.THIS IS WHY I CANT TAKE
YOU nikkaS SERIOUS.
YOU VOTED GS WOULD
WIN THE GAME.
NOW MEMPHIS IS BETTER
THAN GS BECAUSE THIS L
HURTS YOUR ANTI KD AGENDA.
NO MORE TO SEE HERE.

Peep the game thread I was saying don’t sleep on the Grizz or act like they all Ja. They have a tough squad.
shyt don’t matter who bets against Steph ?
nikka THOUGHT THOSE
RESULTS WERE PRIVATE.
yeah and iverson had a ton of defensive help on that philly team but y'all dont give steph that same ropeHe got Draymond aka the best defensive player of all freakin time
No excuses
He does hunt for the switch no doubt. Most PGs do. I equate pgs using screen like Big posting up. It's natural and apart of the game but....
When you in a game such as this, you have to get buckets and refuse screens to iso or split traps i.e. Dwade and MJ to impose your will.
It's the last knock I have on Steph's game. The thing is I've seen him do it before plenty in the Mark Jackson era. He rarely does it without a switch now with Kerr's philosophy though.
In the end it's about results get the job done or have guys like CHICAGO clown you for your short comings
That doesn't make any sense. If KD is the superior offensive option because Steph is easier to contain, then trapping Steph so KD gets even more shot attempts would be the stupidest shyt you could do.Steph was easier to contain than kd. You can't stop kd from getting a shot off, you can with steph...
