Cavs playoffs

That may be the funniest thing I've ever read. JR Smith 32 made 3's Curry 64
I hope you realize Smith doesn't play anywhere near the minutes Curry does. For the record Smith (regular season) averaged a 3 pointer for every 11 minutes played. Curry averaged 9 Har, har.
Seriously, you think I haven't been watching the Western Conference Playoffs? Curry is an improved version of Teague. Almost identical height & weight.

You haven't been watching if you think Curry and Teague are even in the same league. Curry is the best player on the planet right now, hence the MVP nod over Harden. Curry shoots 3's at a percentage JR Smith can't even sniff he's 50 points higher this post season and 70 points higher for his career. I truly hope you are just going homer on this one.

I hope for the sake of Cleveland you guys don't riot after the Warriors win in 5.

You're such a fuckin douche. the warriors are going to get handled and I expect you to eat some crow when they do.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

I always admit when I'm wrong, as I did with the Chicago prediction. I admire the heart the current Cavs team has shown but mistaking the offensive ineptitude of the Bulls and the Hawks for great defense is wrong. The only way the Cavs have a shot is if Lebron and Kyrie play incredible consistently and to this point in the playoffs that hasn't happened.

Horseshit. They gave Curry the MVP because they're tired of giving it to Le Bron. LBJ beats his sorry ass in virtually every statistic, except 3 point %. Not even close in rebounds and assists. LBJ does so much more than Curry- I'd bet if you polled the NBA GMs who they'd want on their team if given a choice- Le Bron or Curry, it wouldn't even be close, about 90% of them would want Le Bron. More proof of James' MVP value is without him- the Heat went from the NBA runnerup to a lottery team. Curry gets all those wide open threes because other teams respect his ability to drive to the basket. Steps back, and boom. Not saying he isn't a great player. Now if you want to say he's currently the best shotmaker on the planet- we might agree on that.
Incidentally Curry is shooting .449 from 3 land, JR .396 in the playoffs. You may think that's hugely significant- I don't, works out to around 1.5 points for 10 tries. & I already said Curry is logging way more minutes per game than JR. BTW, Kyrie is shooting .481 from long range.

What the hell are you talking about? Like almost averaging a triple double sucks? Oh, the opposition blows is your excuse? Le Bron doesn't have to shoot the lights out from long range, as long as he can still drive to the basket.
FWIW, I saw the Rockets play pretty crap defense tonight for around 40 minutes- until it was too late for it to matter. Didn't help Harden played like garbage.

Don't get your feelings hurt. I wasn't making the case for Curry for MVP was saying that right now he's playing better. I'm a huge Lebron supporter but once every two to three games he's "looter in a riot". He has had some awful turnover nights this postseason and he takes plays off. Now you can rationalize this by speaking to injuries but it is what it is.
Kyrie vs Curry shooting is a fair comparison but stop with JR Smith comparison it's not even close.

I'm talking about playing like game 2, 4 and 6 of the Bulls series. The Bulls were a tire fire at the end of the season as we are hearing now that Thibs is gone. 8-25 with 7 TOs won't be enough against the Warriors.
-
The last time the cavs played the warriors we blew them out. I'm so tired of bandwagon haters telling me how great every opponent is and how they're all going to beat us. Fuck off. Don't congratulate the cavs after the win. We don't need people like you. Crawl back to your hidey hole.

Tire fire? Bull sh**t. The Bulls played the Cavs with a healthy Noah, Rose, and Butler. Care to tell me Gasol sucks when he's playing? Tibs somehow forgot how to coach? We didn't even have JR for the first two games. Yes, on the red I agree. I doubt he'll have 13 TOs like Harden did against Golden State though. No doubt James is struggling from the outside. but the numbers don't lie. Le Bron can F**king WILL his team to victory playing with a bum ankle, wrist, and back- when Curry can do that- get back to me.
I'll posit the Warriors haven't faced a perimeter defense as good as the Cavs yet in the playoffs.

Please just stop. Kindly quit giving Curry blow jobs. If your only criteria is points per game- wow- great- you win. Awful turnover nights by Le Bron? FYI he's averaging a measly 1\2 turnover per game more than Curry in virtually identical playoff minutes- so go get lost on that one.

Curry has had a maximum of 6 TO's once, Lebron has had four 6 TO games a 7 & 8. Lebron has 7 more TOs in 1 less game. That's a disparity, oh wait you don't believe in stats since 50 percentage points shooting is a mere blip.

The Bulls fired Thibs and the resulting information suggests that the team and management disliked pretty much everything he did the last three months. I do agree that Lebron's will has been extremely impressive.

You understand percentages? Really? .449 rounding off means Curry makes 45 out of 100 three point attempts. .396 equals 40 out of 100. So, OMG, for every 100 times he hoists up a three, Curry is 15 points better than JR. My bet is Curry doesn't put up 30-40 in a game that would make a statistical game difference.
Is Curry a way superior player than JR? Sure- but only marginally better as a three point shooter.

you do get its 5 percentage pts - not 50 - right? Little more than a blip between 5 and 50%.

I think of shooting percentage the same way as batting average out to the thousandths because we aren't talking 10, 100 but hundreds of shots in a season. The difference is as substantial as some hitting .250 vs .300.

So to continue with the baseball analogy, Curry is batting .255, JR .250. Not much difference. Of course there's a huge difference between .250 and .300- but that's not the case JR VS Curry in 3 point percentage.
LOL, so you want to take it out to 1000 shots to try and make a point? No player in the history of the NBA has ever come close to 1000 threes in a season. Curry is up there alright- at 600+, but if you average that out PER GAME,5 percentage points don't mean jack shit. I'll let you do the advanced math what 600\70 games works out to shot attempts.

No actually Curry is shooting .434 to Smith's .386 which would be the same as batting average based on 1.000 being perfect. Because ABs like 3pt FGA are in the hundreds they don't say he's hitting 25.0% or he's hitting 30.0%. Not a 1000 shots, this is math, decimal place tenths, hundredths and thousandths.

Then I'd suggest you take a course in remedial math. Hate to tell you, that third decimal place is based on 1,000. No one in the recent history of baseball has come close to batting .434- sorry to tell you- that's a lousy analogy. Thanks for agreeing with me when you get to the third decimal point- it's not significant. It's 5 F**cking % in this case. Curry takes around 9 three point attempts per game. I'll make it 10 to simplify it for you since you're apparently having extreme difficulty understanding the concept. If you're ONLY taking three point percentage into account- averaged over a season Curry is exactly 1.5 points better from beyond the arc than JR. Is that in any given game- a huge difference? Nope. You get into game dynamics where an individual player- like JR hits six or eight out of ten. Oh gee- that's .600- and that is damn significant.'ll leave it at that- I'm not going to belabor the point any further.

I hope you realize Smith doesn't play anywhere near the minutes Curry does. For the record Smith (regular season) averaged a 3 pointer for every 11 minutes played. Curry averaged 9 Har, har.
Seriously, you think I haven't been watching the Western Conference Playoffs? Curry is an improved version of Teague. Almost identical height & weight.
You haven't been watching if you think Curry and Teague are even in the same league. Curry is the best player on the planet right now, hence the MVP nod over Harden. Curry shoots 3's at a percentage JR Smith can't even sniff he's 50 points higher this post season and 70 points higher for his career. I truly hope you are just going homer on this one.

Cmon, he's not even close to the best player on the planet. Thats Lebron by a mile. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
Don't get your feelings hurt. I wasn't making the case for Curry for MVP was saying that right now he's playing better.
Except for last night. He sucked balls. If Thompson didnt step up, it would have been over early. I dont see Curry being to carry a team like Lebron can. In all phases. His one dimensional game left him last night and there was nothing else he could do to help his team. I think the best player on the planet should be able to overcome a bad shooting night and lift his team in other ways. Like Lebron did against Atlanta. Curry has a great shot, but thats about all.
