No one's ignoring anything. You haven't refuted anything about defenses not selling out to stop Steph Curry when the evidence all point otherwise.
Ok, that was the point of this conversation. His teammates do assist him getting open where OKC has to rely on pure ISOs. Thanks.
That's true. Looking forward to tonight's game. Got the Sprus winning in double OT
thank god for western conference games that start at 8pm

Wait what? Haha..Fjord, you're so trippin... and I thought I was crazy hyped after last night
The legend continues breh. I actually just saw on twitter he had his MCL's removed at halftime because they were bothering him. 40 points in those conditions. Amazing.

No...you were arguing that teams weren't selling out defensively to stop Curry and everyone proved otherwise. The whole concept of running a player off a myriad of screens is based on the fact that defenses are selling out to stop Curry.
As for best duo in the league between KD/WB (it's weird not typing RW here) vs Steph and Dray, I think it depends on the format. If we were playing a 2 v 2 game, then yeah it's probably KD/WB....But in a 5 v 5, I'd take Steph and Dray. Sure KD/WB together are better scorers collectively than Steph and Dray but with Dray, you can count on him to QB as well as anchor your defense whereas the same can't be said with KD and WB on that side of the ball (though neither are defensive liabilities).
Now you're telling me what we were arguing. LMFAO. Ok budddd....

That's the point I responded to and the one you put out. Tell me what was your point then?
Bruh the whole point of this conversation was comparing the two duos. Which I see you've went back and edited your post to response to. So knowing that, what the hell are you even asking here? You're quickly about to get ignored because you are getting annoying.

B/c those are separate arguments. And I'm not the one throwing snark in every single post right now. Calm down friend.

You wouldn't happen to be Kurt Rambis, probably the new Knicks coach? Man the Knicks are in for a long season next year.
See this is reasonable. Alot more so than the guy claiming its GSW and not close.

Curry has a historic performance in OT, meanwhile Raptors struggle to buy a basket in OT for like the 5th time.
Masai needs to revamp this roster. Go get Jimmy B please. Getting lit up by PG13, and Wade.

I wouldn't take Westbrook for my 5 man squad if I was trying to win. Only to fill the stands.

Where's the gif of him pointing at his wrist saying "your time's up" to the crowd minutes before he went off? That was one was just as badass..
When it comes to duos, they don't get much better on both ends of the floor than Curry/Green. Green is hitting a point where when he's going downhill you almost can't stop him. If he knows he's got the speed advantage on his defender its a blow by. Never thought he'd develop that part of his game as far as its come.

I never thought he'd develop a lot of things. I thought at best, he'd be a 3 and D glue that every championship team needs, not point forward. Anyone notice that his handles got a little tighter this year too?
Draymond is also shooting 39% from 3 this year, 44% in the playoffs. If he can turn that into a decent weapon then the Curry & Dray pick & roll will be even tougher to stop.

This was a dope picture of that moment also. Cameras didn't capture Klay coming up behind him saying "he's back".

Everyone forgetting about Klay? 
He and Curry the best guard tandem in the league and Klay plays excellent defense.

What is sad is DeMar DeRozan is going to get paid more than all of these players in that picture. Still mad that the Raptors gave away game 4 to the Heat.
Hopefully the Lakers give him a max contract
One of the best ever. People laughed at Mark Jackson but he called that shit years ago.Everyone forgetting about Klay?

Tonight the Spurs need to send a message. The Warriors looked last night like the best team in basketball by a very wide margin, tonight San Antonio needs to go berserk and remind us of why that WCF could be the best ever. Otherwise we might not have anything to still be hyped for this year.
Do not fucking lose to a fucking Billy Donovan led squad again.

Anatomy of a villain
Not a gif but the only one I've found. Looks like he's saying "it won't take me that much longer"

Curry's lucky he has a baby face otherwise he'd be more despised than LeBron.
He's also smaller, skinnier and...alright I'll just say it, lighter skinned. That plays a part in it, plain and simple.
But I will say I think Lebron comes across as a bit of a weirdo off the court sometimes. Some of the social media stuff, the way he answers questions in the media at times, the quote about fans after the 2011 finals, etc. Small stuff in the grand scheme of things, but I do find him a little odd for lack of a better word.

Leonard is a more efficient scorer and better defender, and he does better across the board in advanced metrics like PER, win shares and value over replacement. George is certainly great, but Leonard has advanced beyond him this year.
