I would buy the Curry Nike Tres so quick right now.
Don't give a flip about the Lebrons

Warriors are gonna change the way the game is played for the next decade or more. It's the mix of great defense with superb jump shooting result you get ala Final Fantasy Chocobo breeding.
This is the realization of what Mike D'Antonti tried to do with the Suns only he wasn't defensive minded.
Also, this style of play effectively kills the 15-20 foot jumper, going forward. Why would you even bother shooting that if a step back gives you 3?

For what it's worth I'm pretty sure the NBA has been trending towards this for a while now. Stat nerds have realized that anything besides a 3 point shot or a dunk is less than ideal.

It'll be interesting to see how scouts will evaluate to find the next Steph Curry. There have been plenty of quality shooters in college and in HS that just simply don't translate into the pros despite being billed as shooters.

Well, you have to have the skill to pull this system off.

Finding the next Curry is not going to be easy, it's not like focusing on handles and pull-up 3's is a new concept. Curry is simply a generational player, and the warriors blueprint is not something that will be easily replicated.
You also need a Draymond.

Did you miss the part where I mentioned needing skill?
Dion Blaster

Did you? The warriors have a once in a generation player who commands attention away from the ball along with Draymond. who is probably the best all around power forward in the league. I don't care what system you play in or how many three's you take, your team is as good as the personnel that you have.

There are like, 4 teams in the league with the personnel to do this. (Dubs, OKC, Spurs, Cavs) You need two elite scorers at minimum, multiple defensive specialists and a super strong jump shooting core.
What we will see is a lot of horrible attempts at imitation.

IMO he surpasses James this year when the Warriors win the chip again. If they 3-peat it will be beyond dispute.

May the Schwartz be with you
O yeah and that's one of the reasons they're so dominant. No one in the league is equipped to handle the Warriors. Usually teams are built like Memphis with 2 dominant bigs in the post with a good 4 having a midrange game. GS was like fuck that all our guys can guard 1-5 and shoot 3s. As a result they're just blindsiding the league with 3s and the ability to switch on everything.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
6 assists per game is a ball hog now?
Your sight is bad, son
Im from from an avid sports fan but that was a great game and i was on the edge of my seat.
Would really like to see the warriors cut down on their turnovers. Seemed like there were a lot of unnecessary flashy passes that led to some miscommunication and easy intercepts.
That whole last stretch was all draymond and curry. Was really hoping for him to not get fouled out. Didn't think he'd survive 1 OT let alone 2. Hopefully klay can play tomorrow

I don't think Klay can play tomorrow. It's probably better to rest him.
D Green played OT with FIVE fouls and was still fighting for boards. Plus they had to play the refs too who had some monstrous bullshit calls. The last Curry foul from the 3rd was UTTER garbage, he was no where near the play. Had me pissed. But they STILL pulled it out. Hard fought and well deserved win.

I feel like Curry basically dragged them out of the 4th quarter by himself and then Green did it during both OTs. That 3 Curry 180'd though.. this man.
One of the few who hits 37 and didn't really play as good as he can.FantasticMrFoxdie

Green is one of my favorite players. Besides his incredible skill, he is the leader of his team. I definitely agree he's the reason they haven't lost a few times this season. He should be wearing the armband IMO, even if Curry is incredibly clutch on many occasions.
that feel when i have curry, klay and draymond on my fantasy team

Depends on how he gets the assists.
Is he genuinely creating offense, or is it Lebron-style assist-hogging?

The warriors are playing on the 2nd night of a back to back after playing a 2OT game and they're still missing Klay and Barnes. The Bucks are probably going to lose but they've got a chance.

Bron has a much better chance of making it to the Finals this year than Curry does.

Steph doesn't pound the rock like most dominant scorers/ playmakers do. I'd say he brings the ball up about half as much as traditional pgs because teams double him as soon as he gets into any high pick and roll option. The reason why his assists are lower is for two reasons. 1) he is taking more shots because he's imrpoved his efficiency at 30 feet. 2) because he's doubled in the pick and roll, draymond gets the ball and forces a 4v3 situation at the half court..this is why draymond's assists have gone up. So while you can say yeah, curry is taking more shots, he doesn't do it at the detriment of killing team offensive tempo. This isn't Kobe getting the ball at the wing/ harden or lebron at the top of the key and iso'ing.
The current rules were in response to Shaqs dominance with the Lakers.
Zone always favors perimeter players. Too easy to show down the paint in the zone.

Yeah, for whatever reason there don't seem to be many centers who can shoot >55% with high usage the way there were in the past.
Prime Shaq would be incredibly valuable and would automatically turn his team into a title contender today, 3 point revolution or no.

Curry has an unreal amount of hockey assists. Basketball should start tracking those.
They are different though. Warriors are about ball movement and having everyone on the team involved and feeling important. Houston is about watching Harden iso and dumping off when he can't get a shot.

LeBron has proved that you can rack up lots of assists while being a massive ball-hog. Curry isn't one though.

Agreed. I think that was one of the most disappointing performances I've ever seen in sports.
Well...he just took it out on the Spurs too. 37 points in 3 quarters and some ridiculous moves...even on elite defenders.
