Cavs playoffs
-
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.
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.
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.
It's why they play the games Naysayers gonna hate.

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.

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.

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.

And it goes to my point- season averages mean nothing in an individual game- one player gets hot, another goes cold.Yeah, we'd have gotten killed if Curry was on- but he wasn't.
Le Bron was able to overcome his outside shooting slump by driving to the rim, and dishing out assists. People say Le Bron is a whiner, but that was some serious hometown reffing. Him and Moz got positively mugged on a couple of plays, and no call. I still wonder why Blatt sits Timo at the end of games, he's about as good a rim protector and rebounder as TT, and has way more offense- plus he was hot last night.

I'm with ya Larry.. It really bothered Me a bit to see Moz on the bench.. I hope Blatt compensates for whatever adjustments Kerr makes...

Wanna dig this one back up. JR Smith isn't close to the same shooter Stephen Curry is and btw best player on the planet!

Stephon Curry has bigger balls than LeBron too.. isnt it a shame.. Cleveland always has the worst luck...as long as Curry breathes.. The Cadavers wont win jack shit.

Curry does one thing: shoot the ball into the hoop. Better than anyone else has ever done it, but it is just that one thing.

Curry is perhaps the best pure shooter- ever.

I'm not digging the Cavs grave this year- yet.
I agree to the extent if Curry keeps on tossing in 40 footers like he did to beat the Thunder in OT, the Cavs won't have much chance- and neither will anyone else. Speaking of- that game was rigged. At the end of regulation (forgot who) dove right in to KD. Durant went straight up, and got called for a foul, pure BS.
Curry may be great- but he's surrounded by a team that compliments him perfectly.

Glad you are seeing the light
Yup- shoots better than anyone else. Needs to keep it up for around another 5 years before I get impressed. He's not even in the top 250 all time in scoring- yet. I doubt he'll ever catch LeBron in rebounds or assists. BTW, LBJ passed Duncan tonight, and he's gonna pass Havlicek on Monday.
Curry will need around another 10 seasons to get to 30,000 points, and I'd bet right now he won't get there. I'll put James as a mortal lock to get to that level.

Never thought Curry would have the career of Lebron. Curry's first 4 years were good but not great.
