so much better than watching those two teams shoot bricks all game.

Bulls won the game by scoring 11pts in the 4th. Think about that.

Steph Curry can't play a lick of defense

CP3 draining them buckets

That's why they brought in Iggy and Bogut.

Iggy isn't guarding PG's

Steph Curry can't play a lick of defense

Neither can Kyrie Irving.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

OH SHIT CP3!

 

[Emwitus]

Paul is making a statement

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Cp3 just dunked

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

CP3 with back to back turnovers followed by a dunk, lol wtf.

 

[reilo]

Did we just witness CP3 dunk in transition ?

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I saw CP3 dunk. That is the first time I've ever seen that.

 

[fertygo]

Whoa CP3 dunk, is this 2008?

Iggy isn't guarding PG's

He can and he has and he will.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Neither can Kyrie Irving.

What does Kyrie have to do with Steph Curry's defense?

And Byron Scott didn't give a shit about defense, if you've watched Irving under Mike Brown during the preseason and first game you'd realize that he's much better on that end already. It's a small sample size but you don't really know what you're talking about.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I wish we had JR to take that lost shot. I knew it would go to Melo and I knew he'd miss it.

I wish coaches had more balls and not always give it to the star.

would anyone care if mxcmx neocav pioneer stopped posting here forever

my guess is no

 

[Gucci Messiah]

He can and he has and he will.

Then who does Curry guard? Klay isn't good defensively either so sliding him to the 3 and Steph to the 2 defensively isn't good. Iggy hasn't checked the opposing teams PG yet as a Warrior, the match ups don't allow for it.

Him and Forever having the same avi and essentially being the same poster to me because of it, made me confused when I first read your post.

Klay isn't great at defense but he is much better than Steph and isn't a liability on defense.

Steph isn't even that bad on defense most nights, he's improved throughout the season last year.

He's just trying to guard CP fucking 3

Except Klay actually is good defensively.

Lmao you're going to have to troll a lot harder than that to get me to leave, weak attempt.

He can shadow Redick (tough assignment, but easier than CP3) when both him and CP3 are in.

 

[VPhys]

This game is so much more watchable.

 

[Edgeward]

Great 1st quarter, still sloppy with the ball but at least they are getting tons of points



HOLY SHIT HE MADE IT! too bad it doesn't count

 

[methodman]

Very sloppy start for the w's

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Speights probably is shocked every time those don't go in.

 

[reilo]

Ah shit that didn't count!

 

[Emwitus]

That doc defense starting to show

 

[filler]

Adonal Foyle isn't walking through that door.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Klay isn't great but he isn't a liability out there. For sure he was their go-to perimeter defender last year but they were pretty meh defensively as a team (19th op PPG, 14th defensive eff). Some of that has to do with Bogut being injured but I just don't see KT as an elite perimeter defender like Iggy.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

WoJ constant statements in his articles about Hayward's scoring being limited by the Jazz's PG situation is pretty confusing considering that Tinsley was the PG last year (and Hayward's numbers were the best with him at PG over anyone else) and considering that Burke will be back in a couple of weeks. That article also felt kind of morbid.

read my edited post.

and you're forgetting that David Lee is one of the worst defensive players in the league and that's much more important than their mediocre perimeter defense.

I know you miss him.

Klay hasn't got the athleticism to react with the attacker. So whilst he has good instincts, and is fairly disciplined, and he does actually put in the effort, they can only take him so far.

 

[DY_nasty]

BWAHAHAHAHA

 

[Gucci Messiah]

He can shadow Redick (tough assignment, but easier than CP3) when both him and CP3 are in.

If that was the best option then why wouldn't Mark Jackson go to that defensive scheme?

 

[Edgeward]

Fucking Mullens, the one time you could actually shoot a 3

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Mullens is in, it's comeback time!

 

[Psychological Intellect]

If that was the best option then why wouldn't Mark Jackson go to that defensive scheme?

Because Mark Jackson is only there for huddle speeches.

I'll just assume I'm right until someone offers up a productive counter-point

lol BJ Mullens with the failed Brick Wall there

No fucks given by Steph.
