NBA Finals

[RocknRollface]

not many better regular season records than golden state this year - the thing about curry - like you could see tonight - he is so good at making great decisions, getting a double team and finding the open guy - hitting jump shots, driving to the hole, nonpareil as far as dribbling. la ron called him one of the two best in the league.

Hes a good player but if he couldn't shoot above 30% from 3 he wouldn't even be in the league.

Everything else he does is set up by the fact that defenders have to overplay for the jump shot.

Unparalleled shooter, yes, ballhandler? that's completely absurd. Besides the obvious best in Chris Paul there's Kyrie Irving, Tony Parker, Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Mike Conley, John Wall and plenty others.

The difference is those guys get played for the drive meaning the defender is two steps or more off. Curry gets played tighter than anyone else in the league because they want him to drive.

Matt Delevodova would have no chance of staying in front of any of the players I mentioned above yet he out played Curry two out of 6 games.

Golden St went 67-15 in one of the toughest conferences ever and was one of only four teams in the last 30 years to outscore opponents by 10 or more points per game. Get the **** out of here with that "two worst teams" ********.

Im keeping it right here where it belongs.

I'll give you Iversons sixers were worse.

Name me one past nba champion of the last 30 years that doesn't beat this GS team?

Regular season records are great, but if Durant and Tony Parker are healthy GS is the third best team in the west.

They lost two games to this Cavs team. THIS CAVS TEAM! And they could have lost one or two more.

Last years Spurrs sweep both these teams. That was a great team.

The Cavs hardly ever used Love on the block this year, plus post ups in general are pretty low efficiency possessions and Green is one of the five best defenders in the league. Golden St would be just fine if the Cavs were trying to score that route, Love is also terrible on defense, and Golden St would have ate him up in pick and rolls.

Did you start watching basketball this year?

Having to point out to you the benefit of high efficiency post scoring makes me feel like I'm talking to a 12 year old.

It's insane that I even need to explain to you that post ups are not inefficient. Go look at nba career field goal percentage leaders. Then go look at Loves career percentage. What do you suppose they have in common?

Yes the Cavs didn't post up Love much in the regular season. They also didn't post up Mosgov or Thompson much, but were you paying attention how many times they tried it tonight?

Love > Green all day every day.

Holy ****, I'm embarrassed for myself right now that I'm even replying to someone so ******* stupid. Post ups are one of the least efficient way to scores, and look I have facts too not just insane ramblings. And if post ups were so great then why are there almost no back to the basket scorers left in the league? Have you watched an NBA game since Pat Ewing retired you ******* moron?

And saying Rose and Westbrook are better ballhandlers than Steph, LOL one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on here.

You do realize that Delevodova had 0 success trying to guard Steph one on one right? He went around him multiple times. But if you actually watched the games, you would see that the Cavs doubled Curry most every time down the floor to get the ball out of his hands. Steph adapted to this and played TEAM basketball and it won them the title. Oh and by the way, he still averaged 26 ppg. Not too shabby.

What your not realizing is that Love and Irving could have got points in bunches against the guys GS would have put against the which would have allowed Lebron more rest and vice versa.

Love is one of the best low post scores in the leauge.

Draymon vs Love? Love wins that all day.

It'd have been a different series for sure if they were playing. I think their scoring ability alone would have allowed Lebron to not shoot so much and instead of the stand around and let James decide if he wants to drive or post up the offense would have been way more efficient. Plus Loves outlet passing with Irving & James would have allowed them to run with GS more. There were a bunch of angles to it for sure. However Green had himself a great series and has really come into his own lately too. I'm not sure it's a slam dunk that he'd out play Love but I think he'd come closer to canceling him out then you are giving him credit for.

I've read a lot of dumb things on here, but you might take the taco.

LMAO?

How in the hell can a certain typ of shot be inefficient or otherwise with out knowing who's attempting it?

Do you not realize how absolutely ridiculous that is?

If Kendrick Perkins and Tim Dincan both attempt ten post shots are their ppa going to be smiler?

Ofcorse not.

Look at NBA field goal percentage leaders. Figure out where they took the bulk of their shots from?

Just because there aren't many good post players anymore doesn't mean the ones who are good are somehow infeficient. It's the opposite.

If you are good at making shots close to the basket, well then it's a , as the term goes, high percentage shot.

There arent good post players anymore because young guys don't want to learn how. Period.

Love is one of the top back to the basket players in the world.

Yes he stands outside now because it's all about spreading the floor for Lebron if you play with him.

Put that small lineup out there's with Love in and he gets buckets all day.

As for Curry, he's certainly a good ballhandler but everyone plays him to try and take away the three, meaning hands and eyes up. If he couldn't shoot likevhe does he wouldn't getaway with half the stuff he does off the dribble.

Well you must not have been watching the same first three games as the rest of the world. The ones where espn broke down exactly what were talking about only came up with a very different set of facts.

The Cavs were not at all doubling every time. Half the time they were switching, how do you think Tristan Thompson ended up on him so many time?
