NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[Wamu]

Curry is a shit defender...PERIOD.

Well he's no Kevin Love that's for sure.

Mecca, did you miss my D pic comments earlier?

Yes, I shall scroll back....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Well he's no Kevin Love that's for sure.

I'm not saying he's Harden or Nash.

But, he's a bad defender.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Oh goodness...not this again.

I'm bored this morning, and it was either post that or a D pic.

We all appreciate your restraint.

Mecca's gonna be disappointed.

Of course, not as disappointed as she'd have been had I actually posted a D pic. . .

Oh come on now...Harden is a decent defender & same w/ Nash.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Anyone see Curry's new shoes?

They're really, REALY bad.

Omg....they are calling these shits the Resistered Nurse 3's.....lol

Why would they put out something like this?

They look like the $15 avias at Wal-Mart.

* must resist*

You are giving me Sugar flashbacks....lol

* gives DJ the siiiiiiiide eye *

So because the two premiere scoring PG's in the NBA, other than Curry himself torched him, he's awful at defense? He's not a great defender, but he's not awful either. This is coming from a guy who considered him legit the worst defensive PG in the NBA 2 years ago.

He has improved a lot. Still not a plus defender, especially not against players like Westbrook.

@Hambombs, the FG% numbers from the series don't tell the story. Westbrook was able to get wherever he wanted to go when Curry guarded him. He missed a few easy ones and he also had a ton of help because Bogut and Green were permanent help, guarding nobody.

It is not a coincidence that GS started winning once Klay took over on Westbrook.

Look, everyone on my Team is a suck ass defender except Jordan, and sometimes Paul.

I know bad defense when I see it...lol

By the way, when Russ got in the paint and forced both big men to collapse in help, that left Kanter and Adams in position for easy stickbacks. Curry's D on Westbrook caused a lot of problems for the Warriors that do not show directly on he stay sheet.

Hey I know bad defense as well. I try to always watch the Washington Generals when they're on tv.

That should read

"The stat sheet"

I am really bad at typing on my phone.

There is a reason every sports show, blog, article blasted Kerr for having Curry on Westbrook and Kyrie.

The Warriors are clearly better served with Steph on JR.

Still, his best defense is his offense, no matter who he is guarding.

If he's not giving the Cavs the business on the other end, this will be a much harder series than necessary.

When a guy is putting up 30 a game, its easy to overlook his defensive liabilities.

When he's putting up 16?....not so much.

 

[Hambombs]

* takes away Hams cup of Kool aid*

* ham actually gives actually proof* booom!

 

[Hambombs]

No those guys cook everyone..

Curry is a shit defender...PERIOD.

Ok then, show me actual proof then? lol. He's slightly above average. That's a fair assumption

I don't see that in this video to much.


I can argue that he did a solid job keeping Westbrook in front of him

 

[DJ Fieri]

By the way, Klay has never made an all defensive team either, but he is as good as any wing defender in the league (not named Kawhi).

Excellent point. Not many would say Thompson isn't a good or great defender.

But he doesn't have defensive liabilities. lol he still impacts the game even being on the floor

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'd say Curry is a good defender, not great, but good. When he's focused. So many superstars focus so much on offense that they become lazy on defense. Mainly because playing both sides of the ball is so draining.
