Then they hit you with the "Its a regular season award"

Well it is

Could've sworn people were saying he wasn't moving right as well. I know Shoes been saying for a minute he can't get by such and such and his lateral movement is less than normal.

I can’t speak for shoes but he’s been taking Capela to the rim at will.

Shooting 44% from the field in the two games before the explosion and his 3 ball was trash. He’s ok

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Do people fault Iverson for not being able to beat a significantly better Lakers team in the Finals?

No and they also don't try to call him the goat either

Warrior boys are delightful

You in particular had some nice post game 2 takes. The word “solved” might have been used?

Playing that bad for a 5 stretch with his history... Yeah.

They’ve won 3 out of 5 game doe. And they are down 2-1 in the CF just like lebron is on the other side. But to the best team ever. This isn’t choking. Could he be playing better? Of course.

“Championships added”

This is low key how ridiculous a lot of advanced stats are when you dig into it. It's mental masturbation for nerds

They won those last 2 against Utah cuz of CP3. Harden had a great game in 1 against the Warriors but all jokes aside he too extreme. His bad games don't have to be this bad.

Who legit thought Steph was hurt and who was joking?

I thought he was a combination of rusty and not 100% healthy.

She’s fine as ****

 

[dacomeup]

Dunno, but dudes were legitimately *****ing about it the other day. Dont have time to pull up all the quotes, but here is a quick one right off the bat:



Guess it is no surprise that the same poster in on this page taking offense to it.

I never thought he was hurt. Narrative definitely was picking up after those first two games that he "wasn't right" and something "looked off".

 

[B Sox]

Curry shot poorly in Game 2. Had a bad game. Really all it is. Same thing as Bron in Game 1 against the Celts.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Steph was once a better defender than lebron but now he gets cooked

For those saying that Curry doesn't play defense, he allows 95.1 points per 100 possessions, Lebron allows 98.5. Per 100 possessions, Curry scores 118.2 ppg, LeBron scores 109.7. We all know Curry is a much more efficient shooter.

Good, maybe the real MVP will win the Finals MVP since that isn't a regular season award.

 

[BIG FISH]

Naw he’s really hurt.
But if y’all don’t think he’s hurt anymore cause he had a good game then keep that same energy if he starts playing bad again.

 

[MVP]

Steph was once a better defender than lebron but now he gets cooked

He still is a better defender than Bron.

 

[100027]

Steph is also playing against Harden and Paul idk what you all expect lol. He’s gonna get cooked. It is what it is.

 

[junglejim]

Steph was once a better defender than lebron but now he gets cooked

Quotes that did not age well. But 2 years ago, that stat was true.

And lebron still doesnt play defense.

 

[niceshoes247]

where em I watching tonight? Anyone wanna invite me over?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Steph looked fine on d yesterday. I dont see where the getting cooked takes coming from.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

4.6 to's

Last 5 games. This is ya'll real MVP right?

I still remember harden's beard tryna say playoff harden wasn't a thing and telling me I didn't understand advanced stats. Lol

 

[junglejim]

Steph looked fine on d yesterday. I dont see where the getting cooked takes coming from.

Im going to guess from the first two games when he was getting cooked.
