I don't get all the excuses some are making for Steph in here. Of course he scored 39 because he's the greatest shooter ever. But his and GSW's turnovers were careless, lazy passes or just wilting under tenacious D and making a bad pass that was stolen.
Y'all talking about Steph's supporting cast or injuries but other players over the last decade haven't gotten those kinda passes or outs that ya'll are trying to give Steph. He was outdueled in basically a Game 7 by a 2nd year player in Ja Morant who is explosive, quick and fearless but Steph as I've mentioned is the greatest shooter ever, a multiple time MVP and a multiple time Champion.
No one with a resume like that should get a pass losing in a 1 game scenario to an inexperienced potential superstar (Morant) in your own building at that. I was hoping Memphis would KO GSW and keep them out the playoffs but I didn't think it would actually happen
.
How you gonna be the MVP or a finalist for MVP when 1 you don't make the playoffs and B you get a dagger in your eye from 34ft in play-in game 1 by King James then in play-in game 2 Ja Morant takes over the game in OT in your building?
