Wooow I didn't know these games were in the middle of the day WTFFF.

You do it all the time, it didn't go over my head. It's just you making a more extreme example to try to condescend makes you look stupid in the process, not like you proved a point. I'm not easily impressed with pure shooters and that was my only point. If that makes me stupid in your eyes so be it. I like Curry's talent and think he's rounding into a much more efficient all around player.

That being said... catching and shooting wide open shot after wide open shot... isn't going to make me head over heels for somebody. Especially because shooting is the one thing in basketball that comes and goes. Players like this when their shot isn't falling they completely disappear. Guys like CP3 can score 5 points but will almost always give you a bunch of other things like steals, assists and rebounds (today he didn't obviously).

It's the same reason I'm not a fan of Ray Allen, Reggie Miller types who have games that depend HEAVILY on other teammates not only getting them those looks, but setting the great screens. They aren't having to do any of the creating themselves for the most part. It's all personal preference and I admitted that earlier.

I am sure Steph Curry, Ray Allen and Reggie Miller are deeply upset you don't rate them lol

Remember when Warriors fans though Lee kills Griffin? Griffin is now on his 8th game out of 10 or so last I saw of creaming David Lee. It's just straight up murder right now.

Yeah, that first game at GS Griffin just murderized Lee ... Oh, wait ...

[Guppyfighter]

Yup. I'd rather force Klay and Steph into the paint for their layups and floaters than give them wide open 3's. Vinny is not fit to coach this team because in tough games like this he makes no adjustments. His team walkthrough today should have been him repeating "DEFEND THE 3" 1000 times. That's literally the ONLY thing you need to do to stop the Warriors. When you fail to do that... you lose.

Warriors take the three point shot the 24th most in the league. So you are wrong.

When they play us they take 15-20 every time it seems. Today they hit 12 of 22. Clippers hit 11 though so not a big gap... wonder why it feels so much worse. Maybe because they hit all the timely ones.

That's because your defensive players are lazy and don't get back in time. Especially Crawford.

Example from one of the other games we won.

[Clippersfan86]

Yea... I agree the players are lazy on D a lot times. Which is why it's amazing to me we have been a top 4 defense all year long. Imagine if the team had a coach that actually taught defensive schemes and the players understood how to get through screens and not ball watch on 3's?

[Guppyfighter]

Pretty good at basketball is my answer.

[I Rock Shaqs]

point is curry knocked down open shots. Most nba guards can do it given the level of defense the clippers played. Not as well as curry... But nonetheless the clippers made it extremely easy for him.

You're a complete moron, it's actually hilarious.

[Clippersfan86]

Anyways grats on your teams win tonight. I'm letting my personal dislike of things that are happening on the court spill over into my interaction with other posters which isn't fair. I'm gonna just avoid posting as much as I can during Grizzlies, Warriors and Thunder games (teams I don't like on the court).

Duncan's passing on point

Holy hell Bynum looks like a ****ing goof.

Even Reggie had to stop for a "wtf".
