That's horse shit basketball.

You misspelled "winning" and/or "MVP."

He's on balance every shot, wtf are you talking about? That's why he's so consistent and amazing. His mechanics are pure regardless off the bounce or off a pass. And if he's a step or two behind the line, that's a great shot. The shots that are 5 steps behind the line? Yeah, that's not a great shot, but he makes them.

It's definitely horse shit basketball for everybody else in the world. But if he can make those shots (and he can), why not take them?

Al Bundy · 05-09-2016, 11:44 PM

Yeah... Curry is back.

I didn't say he was a terrible player or not the league MVP.

I said I didn't want to watch him. And I don't.

Why the **** not? He is the greatest shooter of all time.

Fair enough. I admit it is almost like watching a different sport than the one that has existed since Naismith.

You might be one of the only people that feel that way. I think it's pretty incredible to watch.

I just can't understand it. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather watch, and I'd guess 99% of NBA fans are in the same boat.

I'd rather watch LeBron and his incredible athleticism and court vision, but I certainly understand it. Curry is putting on a shooting display that we may never see again.

Because they beat the 44-38 Blazers in OT? A Blazers team that is only there because the Clippers two best players got hurt?

Incredible performance by Curry and the Warriors will mostly likely win it all but lets not overreact here. Spurs, Thunder and Cavs are not the Blazers and will give the Warriors a good series.

Don't forget Lebron's cramps

**New World Order** · 05-10-2016, 12:13 AM

Curry is undersized and is the back-to-back NBA MVP.

Absolutely amazing.

KC_Connection · 05-10-2016, 12:17 AM

It's true that the Blazers aren't all that good, but I'm not seeing how the Warriors lose honestly.

The Thunder are coached horribly and lack defense and depth. Durant/Westbrook may be good enough to take a few home games off them, but that isn't enough.

LeBron, as we saw in 2015, might be able to take a few by himself but the Cavs don't guard well enough to stand much of a chance either. If it is their intention to out shoot them from distance in the Finals, they will lose.

And while the Spurs have the best chance because of their defense, it's become clear that time has finally caught up to Duncan. He was their best player in the playoffs last year, but now he can't even get on the court when it matters (and David West is certainly not an adequate replacement for Tim Duncan). Not to mention that Aldridge is a soft, finesse big who Draymond will absolutely destroy.
