I'm sorry I didn't label an obvious joke post. What's up with your hatred for the Warriors though? I don't get it.

Something like "play big when they play small, idk why coaches play small when they are playing small"

Such a shame. He had so much potential to be a beast 2 way player in the post. Now, he doesn't know what to do if he can't catch and shoot.

Golden State didn't take advantage of OKC's sloppiness in the first half of that game. The Thunder played with more discipline in the second half (and Westbrook got in the zone) while the Warriors got sloppy with their ball handling and shot selection. They also did a very good job of forcing players not named Curry to make plays.

That's how I felt about him early on. Figured he'd add a low post game after his 2nd season and really be a monster but turned into a catch and shoot guy who is generally too hesitant to take the shot when he's wide open and not guarded.
"Look, Curreh is a great player, BUT..."
I was in camps in the late 80s with pros teaching kids how to poke a guy in the ribs as he shoots so the refs didnt see. Im just shocked a guy can shoot 5 jumpers in a row, is the smallest guy out there, and no one challenges him.
As for fouling a great free throw shooter, when hes hot like that, hes hitting the three anyways.
And for the guy that thinks Curry is strong...really? Hes a lot of things...but strong?

It's super popular to be a Warriors fan now that they are winning, I assume that's why you saw the posts you did to that question.

That guy Collison looks like Carson Daly
Why is that so hard to believe? How do you measure strength?

Exactly. People forget he held Dwight back and got a rebound on him.
Yea I'm at the arena right now and people started literally filing out like a couple minutes into the fourth. It's sad :/

Whoops, big image.
But yeah. He's one of the best scorers in the league in the paint. He weighs 190 lbs (about as much as Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose). He's reported to deadlift 400 lbs. He can maintain his shooting form from half court without having to jump forward or strain and push the ball. He's strong. Come up with a better argument as to why he's not.

Curry's deceptively strong. He has the heaviest deadlift compared to the rest of his team.

As someone who doesn't actually have any pro sports teams in my state (ND) that's the kind of stuff that sours me about fans in some of these markets (GS/Miami/sure there is more).

The guy with the Curry avatar isn't biased at all I'm sure
Of course I'm biased...doesn't mean that I'm wrong.

A post based on no-calls so apparently pervasive that multiple sports media outlets have felt the need to repeatedly address it at least once a month all season is not even in the same wheelhouse and you should know this.
(Or anyone else in the GS fanbase in NBA-GAF would, in any event. You, I'm not so sure about.)

I stand corrected. He's the second best deadlifter on the team behind Festus Ezeli

All in all should be happy with getting the split, although not a fan of getting blown out but hopefully Billy D bashes into their head to play their game and not play into GSs pace. Gotta slow down the pace a bit, we get too careless playing this constant running and shooting (which doesn't benefit our 2 big lineup at all). Got to see more of game 1 Thunder, and forget this one like game 1 of SA series.
Less Turnovers, Rebound, Slow down the pace and we can still take this series.

Curry went full Curry. Westbrook went full Westbrook.

Curry went full Curry in addition to OKC letting off of him for two entire minutes, Westbrook went full YNB, and the rest is history
Currys deadlift is impressive. I probably should have just used the term physicality. I think Curry is somewhat soft, I think thats how you play him.
And if you've ever been in a weight room with basketball players, a bunch cant do shit with weights because of their arm and leg length. Doesnt mean they arent strong.
