Yeah, easy to say he should leave but there is very few appealing situations outside of OKC.

Wouldn't living anywhere else be appealing though?

He's welcome in Boston.

Yeah, that too.

I mean he could come replace Bosh and be Miami's new 4 with a 43 year old Wade dominating the ball.

We got some pretty hot girls in among all the awful people down here. If he's into that sorta thing.

You've got to be shitting us right?

Actually no. I think he plays a little dirty & like a dickhead, but compared to the likes of Curry I think he's a legit professional. Did you hear what he said to Aldrige right after the game about the Thunder & Steven Adams?

I turned it off. Seeing Riley Curry would have given me a brain aneurysm. What did he say? I think the real test would be what would Green say in a loss. We've all lost a pickup game at the Y against a Draymond Green and after he tries to high five you and tell you good game when you know if the score was reversed he'd be stomping around the court.

He's such a little bitch. Why do so few people see this?

Guys, both Durant and Westbrook lol'd when asked about Curry's defense a few days ago. None of these players are very respectful.

What would you do in their situation when the press uses questions during their own press conference to build the legend of curry? Give the PC answer and say Curry is an under rated defender? I appreciate them not giving in. Currys D sucks.

Yeah, just be vague and say he has quick hands (which he does) or whatever and move on. They did the same crap when asked about Harden, didn't they?

Fair point, probably true. I was just pleasantly surprised by that one quick interview. Gave me a bit more respect for the guy.

And as I've mentioned before, all of these guys are super competitive dickheads. You have to be. It's just the special way that Curry goes about it that pisses me off so much.

Curry ranks at average or above average in every defensive category (outside of blocks) for his position. He's not excellent by any means, but no longer a liability. He struggles against really athletic guards, but who doesn't?

He plays for a 73-9 team. That explains your numbers. He doesn't pass the eye test outside of a steal here or there.

He's one of five players on the court for a 73-9 team. He must be doing something right.

His stats were similar for their 51 win season two years ago too.

Yes, he has the ability to nail pull up threes early in the shot clock which are terrible shots for 99 percent of NBA players. He is goat at the most heavily weighted skill in the modern game and it covers up a hell of a lot of average.

But his defense is barely passable. You can blow the guy MD, doesnt mean you have to cup his balls and slip a finger in his ass too.

Did someone make you cry by winning a game with a 3 pointer sometime in your life?

You're so lucky you don't have to watch it as an opposing fan. It's like faces of death bad.

Watching the Warriors is better than watching the Rockets/Hornets/Mavs/Cavs who shoot just as many threes but miss so much more of them.

I'll pass, but I would buy a sandwich from the guy

regular season the dubs shot almost 32 3s a game

houston, hornets, cavs and mavs were behind them at 30, 30, 30 and 28

in the playoffs, cavs actually have shot more 3s and made more for a better percentage

Great, so they're going to think they can get into a 3 point shooting contest with the Warriors.
