Here is an excellent breakdown on Curry singlehandedly wrecking our defense.


After watching this video, what the fuck is Okoro supposed to do? Curry is virtually unbeatable here and we're undermanned as fuck with a scheme that is equivalent to throwing shit at the wall. People asking for Windler or Valentine to cover this guy? Really?

For a long time during the Lebron period I was very resistant to the notion that Curry might be a top ten player of all time, but if they can do it this season I might change my mind. On offense at least he looks better than, say, Kobe Bryant to me

Oh yikes.

For a team struggling to score lately, losing the guy who's the best on the team at creating his own shot is a massive loss.

I know not everyone here likes Sexton's style of game, but the Cavs haven't hit 100 since he got hurt. The only teams averaging below 100 are the Thunder and Pistons, so I don't see the Cavaliers sustaining a very competitive record from here on out, sad to say.

Welp then. Looks like I hit the third trimester of pregnancy at the right time. I got to see the best part of the season, and can blissfully ignore the rest while I tend to the little one. :eek:

Congrats on your baby, but actually late night west coast basketball games are perfect for when the baby can’t sleep

I could be wrong but now with that injury and Sexton is out , I have my doubts they will trade Rubio and shrink the guard spot even more. But its way to early to project.

I think how the team plays really will dictate if Rubio stays or goes. If they aren't playing well, they might as well trade him.

They really should just cut Pangos and go out and look for a possible backup PG. Maybe Rubio can help a g-leaguer start off on the right track to becomes what we need long term.

Right, but unless they run him into the ground RR has trade value and unless they really think they can win in the playoffs or put too much weight on just making the play in

Thomas in 83 was 2nd in 3pt% at 28%. I have only seen both players in highlight vids but saying Steph is a worse scorer than them is like saying Shaq is worse than Wilt. Skill creep means recent players will always have a significant advantage over older stars. Pete was notable for having a negative offensive impact on his team even if his individual numbers were impressive, arguably one of the most overrated players of all time.

I said Zeke was a better scorer (with exception of Curry’s range) and defender than Curry. Curry can’t touch Zeke in terms of handles or finishing at the rim. And you lost all credibility calling Pistol Pete “over rated”! Watching “highlights” tells you nothing about his overall impact on a game.

Curry is one of the best finishers in the league for a guard rn. He is so tricky and has been really good at it for a few years.

I can tell Pistol Pete's impact on the game by his extensive list of playoff wins and championships.

You’re rating Pete on playoff wins and titles? Then Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Butler, Westbrook, etc are overrated.
And put video highlights of Zeke/Curry side by side of finishing at the rim and you’ll see it’s Zeke head and shoulders over Curry.
