NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[DJ Fieri]

His everything has been sub par this finals.

But, he is still the best player in the NBA.

But, not anywhere near the best all around which was my original statement that led to this conversation.

His lack of defense puts him behind Lebron, Kawhi, Anthony Davis, Towns, Butler and his own Teammate Klay.

Wow, behind Towns and Butler? The guys that jumped all over me will be all over you.

 

[Hambombs]

LMFAO!!!!!!!

Laugh all you want. You laughed at me when I said Kerr is going to be a much better coach than Jackson when he got hired. Also you laughed at me when I said the warriors will win 56-58 games and would be a top 3 seed.

I'm really curious why you don't consider CP3 a great defender. If anything by your previous statement I would state that DAJ was a decent/plus defender and CP3 was the great defender.

Up until maybe a Season ago, I thought he was a very good defender.

Paul gambles a lot.

The fact that he gets so many steals camouflaged the fact that he has lost a step in that department.

 

[CitySushi]

You got lost when I said he's a good off ball defense and a average on ball defender?

No I got lost in you saying that they alternate because it's the best way to have them play defense.

You said "They pretty much alternate. You never keep one guy on one guy or else you adjust." How does that make any sense?

Curry is not a good defensive player. There is nothing wrong with this. He is still a great player. Defense is just not his strength.

Ummmmm it doesn't

 

[Hambombs]

If you say so.

I'm not up for pulling up every single play he got torched on defense.

Everyone had there defensive lapses, even the best in the league do. Great players will go off from time to time. Does that make them a bad defender too?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You think Curry is a better 2 way player than Towns and Butler?

No.

Curry is the best overall...His offensive dominance is so advanced that it negates what the others do on the defensive end.

But, they are all better all around players.

 

[Hambombs]

Nobody is saying he's elite, I just said decent that's all,

 

[Heatles84]

Getting wasted at home watching the game. Less chance I need bail money.

Unless, one of my neighbors really gets on my nerves.

I have to take my fiance out for pizza. She's well aware that the game's on tonight. Wish me luck on my drive back home. If anyone here lives in Seattle, watch out for me around 6-6:30 PST....meaning - get the fuck off the road.

I didn't say anything about great players in general.

I said Curry.

That's my opinion.

 

[bksballer89]

He's avg at best. Shouldn't be guarding the best point guards if you can avoid it. Kerr can avoid it but is choosing not to for whatever reason

I'm pretty much saying alternate cause they can both guard them. Just klay is better at it

 

[DJ Fieri]

I loved the sports talk on FN and other things but the quality of sports talk here is better imo.



















It doesn't hurt that 2 ladies (and a few others) refugee'd here.

Curry is better than average on defense.

Slightly above average

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Didn't you just say he has no defensive liabilities?

 

[Hambombs]

Didn't you just say he has no defensive liabilities?

Yes. Liability to me = bad or terrible on that end

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Curry is better than average on defense.

I don't think he is.

Again, I'm easily seduced by offense.

So, maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention until the playoffs.

Dame, Westbrook, Kyrie may be a unfair task for anyone.
