Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

That's great to hear. Things are pretty damn good right now, thanks for asking. My youngest is now @ CU & lives on campus. No kids in the house right now! It's only been a few weeks but it just seems odd.

Hey now! Do you and the wifey have a 'no pants zone' now that all the kids are gone?!?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Obviously, you have a thing for beards. Lebron has one too btw...just not as nasty

Oh stop it, you can do better than this! I said he's unguardable and that is the truth. Can you name a defender that was able to stop him even for 1 game? That doesn't take away from the fact there are great defenders in the league. Of course I watched the series which is why I'm wondering why you think the Cavs' plan to stop Klay...excuse me...make his life hard, is the answer. Clearly you didn't watch that series or you would understand my point is the Warriros have a deep squad and don't need Klay to win. It's great when he's having a good shooting night but doesn't mean a loss for the team when he isn't. Bottom line, they need to come up with a better plan. LOL

The only time GS has played Cleveland with our current backcourt, Cleveland won 110-99, and Curry/Thompson combined to shoot 10/30 from the field, so I'd say whichever defenders Cleveland threw at them both that game proved to be pretty effective.

That could be...but it could also be they were having bad shooting nights. My point is in a 7 game series weaknesses are exposed & it takes more than luck to win.

He isnt unguardable. He might be the best shooter I have seen and a great player but no player is unguardable if you have the right strategy and a good defender with a good strategy. Now there are some games when a player is unguardable but not every game. You get a little physical with Curry and that's his weakness IMO. He can still get to the hole but you body him up and get in his face you force him to let someone else do the dirty work. He is a finesse player, but like I said a great player and very hard to stop.

Even Lebron and MJ werent unguardable. They werent the best jump shooters and you try to force them, MJ being a better mid-range shooter. But if they have their jump shot they are unguardable, but that is still not every game. So no one player is unguardable.

So apparently whenever Curry shoots bad it is just lucky for the other team, it could be good to great defense combined with an off-shooting night and maybe getting in his head a little actually bodying him up. Yes, that could be it.

Well i already said it could be...and that a 7 game series would really tell the story. What else do ya want??? Goodness.

People have been boding him up still dropping 30 though lol

LOL you flip flopped so much it's like watching a fish outta water! I'm pretty sure his numbers throughout the season & postseason prove he's unguardable my friend. He's surpassed a few of the best shooters. Maybe you should take a look. I would provide a link but you would just dismiss it as non-credible. I doubt that his shooting & ability to create new records isn't because he's never being guarded. It isn't by accident that he gets a lot of wide open shots.

Apparently he didn't watch the Mem/GS series.

Yea like I said he will have those nights, but Houston didnt have good defenders. Memphis did a better job.

No one is unguardable, that is a fact. Even Lebron, has proven he isnt unguardable. Team defense and very good defender has limited him, not stopped him, but limited.

No it isn't. Your exact words were: "I said he's unguardable and that is the truth. Can you name a defender that was able to stop him even for 1 game?"

I gave you a game in which they both actually proved to be very guardable and it happens to be the same team they're about to face off against.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Apparently he didn't watch the Mem/GS series.

With Tony guarding him, lets see this unguardable guy you speak of:

Game 1, they won: Curry went 8/18 22 points. Good game, but they limited him.
Game 2, they lost: Curry 7-19 19 points. bad shooting night. Memphis' offense actually played good on this night.
Game 3, they lost: 8-21 23 points. bad shooting night. Memphis had another good game on offense.

Memphis was up 2-1 when Allen was limiting Curry and making him work. Tony goes out, Curry goes off. Coincidence, I think not.

And guess what Tony Allen played a total of 20 minutes in next 3 games, wonder why Curry heated up.

Alrighty...we're gonna have to agree to disagree then.

I'm sorry, were you here when this conversation actually started? Yes, that was my point.

Yes, you can get off your knees now.

i see you've met LeBron's PR man/laundry folder...

LOL well the Memphis series was in reference to you saying Curry can't shoot or play well when defenders get physical. Please follow along...that was your statement.

And really?? You think Curry heated up because Allen wasn't playing? So please do explain the other games in which Curry 'heated' up when not playing Memphis.
