Warriors shot 22% from 3,had 15 free throws to 31 and were -12 on the glass but somehow won that game. How do I explain this to anyone
They were down 3-2 to the Bucks and pulled it out and are 3-0 in elimination games in these playoffs. Not counting my chickens yet.The ring is done. Can't see the Boston team having the nerve in a survival game as long as the Warriors offense does not self-destruct.
Warriors ain't Bucks (who were missing Middleton no?). Trust the Warriors finals experience, and their offensive capabilities. As long as that offense works to the point where Boston are under pressure of catching up I doubt they would be able to answer with their offense (unless they have that freak run like Q4 in Game 1). Always felt the minute their offense is under pressure, they start bricking it.They were down 3-2 to the Bucks and pulled it out and are 3-0 in elimination games in these playoffs.

The Dubs bench outscored the Celtics 31-10 and 6 of those 10 came in the last minute and a half when the game was already over.Warriors shot 22% from 3,had 15 free throws to 31 and were -12 on the glass but somehow won that game. How do I explain this to anyone

Even that was a case of Dubs being their own worst enemies with Draymond missing Game 5. It's again in their own hands now.I've been permanently scarred from 2016. No chickens for me yet.
The only game that was really gifted away was game 1 and that was by the Dubs. Celtics hit some timely shots it is true but the Dubs perimeter defense in that 4th quarter was pitiful.And the Celtics have not been gifting the games away.
Warrrios defense especially Wiggins and Looney is showing its class.
Add to that the lack of Celtics bench scoring and Tatum wanting to flop instead of making mid-range jumpers or driving to the rim. Celtics need to get away from this habit of trying to win on FTs
That said, this series is not done. Klay and Poole with some big 3 points in the 3rd quelled the Cs momentum.
Without him the Celtics getting blown out in the first half. Also the guy reaponsible for that run in the 3rd. He ran out of gasTatum has been very, very poor.
He is for me. And if they win the Finals he's a lock for FMVP this year.Is Steph top 10 all time if he gets Finals MVP?
Do you watch many full games? Curry is kind of a player where, even when he has great stats, the box score doesn't always reflect his greatness. He's become above average on defense (not great, but passable for sure) but what he does on offense is just never seen before. And I'm not even talking about shooting, where he is without a single question the greatest of all time. It's his energy, his running around, movement off-ball, the way defenders have to take into account that he can literally pull up from the logo if they're not close enough, which in turn creates space for him mid-range, ... Should he win another ring and Finals MVP this season, he'll have the rings and credentials for sure, he'll have the longevity, the offensive records, MVPs, and one of the most important ones is that he changed the way basketball is played, his influence on the game cannot be understated and is quite possibly bigger than any other player since MJ or so.Sorry but I still think Steph is overrated.
Not since the lockdown season. Only really 4th quarters now. I've always felt he was kind of flaccid in the big games and in the big moments. I'm sure his stats suggest otherwise, I'm not sure. I can't fathom him being in the same conversation as Duncan or Shaq. I'd take Durant over him too.He is for me. And if they win the Finals he's a lock for FMVP this year.

The only way you can call Curry overrated for me is if you place him into a top five with MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Magic and Bird - after those guys there's a tier break for me, but I haven't seen anyone place him as high as top 5. You can easily make a case for Curry to be better or have a better career/legacy than the likes of Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Robertson, ... And it's incredibly difficult to compare him to guys like Wilt or Bill Russell of course.
I just want to thank the Minnesota Timberwolves for being a huge part of the Dubs success.
They passed on Steph in the draft - TWICE.
They couldn't work out a deal for Klay.
....and they traded us all star Andrew Wiggins AND a first round pick.
It's been four years!Looks like it’s going to the warriors again.
Fourteen for usIt's been four years!
33 years for us.Fourteen for us
Fourteen for us
What you guys don't understand is that the Dubs were historically bad for ages. When they won the title in 2015 it had been 40 years since their last one. They went 13 seasons from 1994 to 2007 where they didn't even make the playoffs and then after the "we believe" team upset the Mavs in 07 went another 6 years without any post season.27 years for us ffs.
When I see Dubs fans online talking about "it's been too long", I just want to smash their heads into the wall

The great thing about that top 20 all-time is that it's so subjective and there's really no right or wrong unless you're gonna make outrageous claims. Like I said earlier the top 5 is pretty fixed imo but everything from 5-20 is kinda up in the air, although I feel there's another significant tier break after 20 or so.
For people who actually follow the game. I think most casuals will refer to him as "the guy who shoots a lot of 3s".Frankly it’s a bit boring as well. Steph Curry’s legacy will always be far bigger than whether he is 8th or 11th on this subjective list

Until last night it would have been "the guy who makes a lot of 3s".For people who actually follow the game. I think most casuals will refer to him as "the guy who shoots a lot of 3s".
