@MarzTalksSports Obviously, he provides a gazillion times more defensive impact and still has a positive impact on offense (even if it's not as significant), compared to LeBron's negative impact.
@francistennn Yeah, a pick-and-pop big who can pass would be ideal. Someone you can run give-and-go actions and handoffs with, creating a dynamic similar to Curry–Green or Murray–Jokić.
@francistennn It's tough to play a 6'0 AI alongside another undersized guard. It hurts the team's overall size too much—athleticism, defense, and rebounding all take a hit.
@destrphforless If any superstar gets freed by an illegal screen, it's fine. If Steph does, it's unfair.
If other stars get flop calls, it's part of the game. If Steph doesn't get real foul calls, it's because he doesn't drive.
Endless excuses to diminish Curry while elevating overrated stars.
@YIN_and_YANG_oo This is a LeBron trend: whenever he puts up huge scoring numbers, his team gets blown out. It's almost like he knows they can't win, so he starts stat-padding to support his GOAT case — that he has no help and is carrying a bunch of scrubs.
@MarzTalksSports Also, in a playoff series teams can adjust their defense and cheat off OKC’s non-shooters to clog the paint and force tough shots from deep.
@MarzTalksSports Because his whole game is built on creating open layups and short jumpers, and he gets those shots by making defenders afraid of fouling him. He also benefits from being more physical while defenders can’t match it. But in the playoffs, that advantage gets nerfed pretty hard.
@liltunechiKmac7@Jacobtheclipper@JasBilyeu Also in 08 he went 2-for-18 with 10 turnovers in Game 1, and through the first 4 games he was averaging 18 PPG and nearly 6 turnovers a game on 25% from the field, 25% from three, and 69% from the line. One of the worst (maybe worst) performances by a superstar in NBA history.
@liltunechiKmac7@Jacobtheclipper@JasBilyeu He shot 39% from the field, 31% from three, and 68% from the line — absolutely atrocious shooting splits, and this is supposedly an “efficiency” guy. Pure stat-padding shot chucking at its finest.
