He was in foul trouble because he couldn't guard anybody

the excuses these fanboys give this man. lemme guess, if it weren't for the fouls, curry would've been prime gary payton out there on defense right?
:gucci: So we going to act like Steph wasn't holding his opponent to sub 40% shooting when he was the primary defender before last night?

fukk your pivot. No one said the Warriors were 2016 in 2022 other than an outlier whose volume youre over pumping.


fukk all that exaggerating shyt youre writing. :mjlol:
It’s amazing that they get rid of Kemba and all this stuff happens

What’s even more funny is the stupid franchise that thought Kemba with thibs would work

What’s even more funny is that same stupid fan base acting like Kemba was a good addition and the Knicks were NOT a treadmill team locked into mediocrity

There's been a TON of 90's Bulls vs. GSW threads on here over the years. Celts are playing pretty well vs. GSW so far...

That has me contemplating some on the 90s Bulls. MJ and Pippen are a far more advanced wing combo than a young Tatum/Brown combo.

MJ would get easier point than Tatum or Brown. Pippen just as explosive as Brown. Pippen/MJ are better defenders than Brown/Tatum are currently as well..

Rodman would clean up on the boards and have Dray going crazy. Harper another guy who can defend. Tony another guy that can give the Bulls some offense.

Why would the Bulls not have success? Doesn't this so far end that debate :jbhmm:
For starters, the Warriors aren't close to the peak of their powers. Klay is a shell of himself on both ends, Draymond has obviously regressed significantly, Iguodala can't even get on the floor, and even Curry isn't the same player he was five years ago. Secondly, those comparisons are often centered around the KD Warriors. That iteration of the Warriors has too much fire power.

They missed on the wiseman pick and they easily could have traded some combination of wiseman kuminga moody for an impactful player

:dead: Draymond full of shyt he had T-mac on his podcast saying rings don't matter then shytting on CJ saying he is ringless..

When the Dubs start to show real real slippage (ie. A true decline in Steph's ability on the court)....its finna be so many players active and inactive ready to dance on their graves it ain't even funny :mjlol:

They done talked hella shyt and been hella brash during their reign. It's great for the sport tho

Trying to find the one where Curry got his wind knocked out.

Yeahhhhhh ….thats just not going to cut it defensively …this is why two way players are so valuable … not to shyt on steph it is what it is he’s 6’02” and skinny but they’re relentlessly attacking him and he’s just not holding up … for a guy that’s supposedly having a great defensive year and is so called underrated on that end …this ain’t it …it’s always why it’s hard to put these smaller guards ahead of larger two way guys when it comes to the way the impact the overall game not just offensively

Warriors averaged 28,27, and 29 assists respectively in the first three rounds.

They’re averaging 23 this series. They not allowing anyone else to get going. The Drop coverage somehow is working.

They figured Curry can go for 30 every game. If they limit what happens inside the 3 point line with the supporting cast they’ll have a better chance. The Warriors are -19 points in the paint compared to the Dallas series and have averaged 105 points per game -11 down from the 116 they averaged for the playoffs. Only explanation I can come up with for the way they still playing Curry.

It ain't the whole team slipping though. It's specifically Draymond. Take him off this squad next year and it's even more potent. Steph is on point. Klay been terrible, but showing his prime ability. The bench is pretty fukking good. The Celtics are the best defensive team in the league and only Giannis and Steph have been giving them the business. Steph decline ain't coming in the next few seasons. Kerr loyal to someone who teams are leaving wide ass open and can only play defense when the refs allows him to openly foul.

Utah would NEVER do it, but Dray for Rudy I'd take in a heartbeat for the next two years of Steph's post prime.

Can’t wait. This thread reminded me of the blatant shyt talking that Klay and Draymond were doing during the Cleveland series where the fans were going in on Cleveland and Klay was dismissive. The fukking audacity.
