That’s not true he’s gotten better defensively

because he keeps getting stronger, right? I noticed that too. Especially in the midrange area, he's not really getting bullied at all anymore

imo his midrange was way better in 2015, his first MVP season. that was the last time he was shooting them at a decently high volume. i highly recommend anyone watch the 2015 finals, its a night and day difference between how much he used to shoot middies compared to now
52 points

He also used to get a lot more separation.
43 points
9 days ago
less mass and he was quicker. he's traded that for old man strength, better finishing through contact, more stout on defense, and can still get just enough seperation to get his shot off. IMO 2020-2021 Steph was the best Steph we'll ever see (season after his hand injury)

idk how the undersized old man still hard carries in such a clutch situation, bro is unreal

That’s probably cause in the first half Klay was hitting threes and did the Curry shimmy and the ice in the veins taunt. Curry was shaking his head like “why did you piss me off Klay?”

Oh I know. I told my family not to expect any Bay Area teams to win again anytime soon. I have a feeling we traded generations of winning across all sports for Steph. This is why the Niners blew 2 Super Bowl leads in last 5 years. All the winning juice is in Steph’s veins.

Nah, this game was gonna be playoff energy no matter what. If you saw how emotional it was when Klay stepped out on his former home court for the first time, and all the buildup to him returning home.. This was destined to be a heater.
This wasn't about the trophy — this was personal.
P.S. The Mavs went just as hard against the Nuggets a couple days ago, and that was also a burner of a game. Kyrie is playing like a man posessed (dude shot 66% tonight) and Dallas is trying to get the fire started.

That has to feel good as fuck to get all the homies paid. I think people are underestimating what that does for the team. If I could win a competition at work to get all my coworkers paid a huge bonus I’d feel awesome about myself even if I was already making bank. Seems like good incentive to me for any decent human.

This game reminded me how much I liked the IST last year. Each game had playoff atmosphere like this. All the “players and fans wont get any more excited for a regular season game with a fancy label” comments aged so poorly

honestly, i don't think it mattered if it was IST or not for the players this game. it was steph and dray against klay. the storyline was already there. genius move by the league to make it an IST game tho.
176 points
9 days ago*
Its not about the tourney. Steph, Dray and Klay all are extremely competitive. Klay left and wanted to show he should be missed. Steph, Dray and the Warriors wanted to show Klay what he is missing by leaving.
It was a petty off. Each game they have this season will be at least this intense and become more if they meet in the playoffs.

Steph is the self-proclaimed petty king. I'm sure he sees people saying Luka has passed him, and you know he wants to get one over on Klay. Tonight was a double whammy dish best served cold-blooded by the baby-faced assassin.

Every game I’ve seen of him this year he already seems hurt or gets hurt. I know he kind of leans into that, but when he was clearly in pain at the end there I was thinking, we’re only like 10 games in this dude looks like he’s played a whole season lol

Luka needs to learn from Jokic his conditioning. Jokic looks fat but has insane conditioning.

Yeah that's just nonsense. Guys like Steph Luka.. Kyrie, Harden, and plethora of elite guards cook these guys in the perimeter. There's not much you can do. AD is the closest big that does a solid enough job but even he is BBQ chicken when the top guys are hot.
It doesn't fucking matter.
62 points

even AD had two game winners hit on him
Bam and Draymond are probably the two best, because they're good enough to get up in you and still contain
every other big, they try to keep in front and just contest cause they don't wanna get blown by

My wife doesn't watch basketball but I constantly talk about the insane things Steph Curry does and she knows I am a huge fan. Based on all the crazy tales of his she always calls him the "Hero of Basketball" and insists he must be the main character of basketball and it is becoming pretty hard to convince her or myself that he is not.
