Ofcourse Lebron will be held to a higher standard. That's a No Brainer. Lebron is a Top 3 player of all time whilst Steph is not even Top 15 yet.



Btw check the Chef's playoff stats and get back to me. The narrative that says He never performs come playoffs is false.

Lebron has had an 11point performance in a close out game 6. People should miss me with all the BS. I was here in 14/15 game 3 when people made noise here about Dellevadoa when Curry played badly then turned mute when he dropped 38points the very next game having also averaged 28 points from that game 3 down to the close out game 6.

Roland17:
My brother, I have not missed a single second of this NBA post season and that includes the Warriors game.

I would have taken up your debate but I can see you already have your Chef hat and lenses on, consequently, it would be impossible to help you see other wise.

You will still be wrong even if I did not have them on.

Curry outscored all GSW scorers in games 1 and 2 against the Clippers and prior to yesterday was averaging 24pts in the post season with faaaaaar less usage than any other PG in the playoffs.

His shooting was also 50/45+/90+ against the clippers. If you watched the last 3 of 4 games against the clippers, the only thing that derailed his game was foul trouble

Yesterday, 7-23 with 17points, is his worst game in this series and playoffs. Jokic, Murray, Lillard, Kyrie have all had worse games than that this very playoffs in both efficiency and statistics.

ipledge10:
Curry was shot 1 tonight

When he was required to even have a break out game in this series. He sh*ts the bed even more. This will be his worst game in this playoffs.

Roland17:
He has been a short 1 since the start of this postseason.

Null and void.

He is averaging more points than Jamal Murray and Kyrie and scored more points than KD in games 1 and 2 against the clippers with far less usage than other PGs in this playoffs.

CuteRedd:
Nah Curry truly unacceptable performance.We had guys balling their hearts out trying to keep us in the game only for you to ruin it Truly disappointing!

Someone made a similar comment on Reddit. Might have been you as well. Lol

SmooshCHN:
It's just sad. My boy needs some giant's milk. That's all.

I read he was very bad today even on Reddit. Sad but nobody bounces back from bad games better than Curry.

My favorite player still.

Hardetayour:
All ball. How's that a foul

I am not watching the game because I don't want to. But people on reddit said KD and Curry are playing garbage. KD has a worse shooting efficiency than Curry and the latter is missing FTs and wide open 3s. If they don't show up in the third Q, I don't think they will give it their best in the 4th Q.

Curry has to fvcking step up.

airmark:
You were confused then for giving unnecessary advice .

You are still trying to redeem yourself.

No need to strike a dying man.

Peace!

airmark:
Google is there for you to check the possibility of some good players who couldn't get back to the peak after sustaining injury and rushed back. Owen will slap you for your meaningless advice.

On Krychowiak, he was 'beasting' the laliga and that he lost his form subsequently is not new in football. Nobody thought Diarra would play in Real Madrid after going under when he came to epl. So keep your advice to yourself.

LMAO

I pretty much said they were derailed by injuries. But you did not see it because...reputation..like say na Taylor Swift.

I hope Salah is okay.

Greatihex:
you don't have the moral justification to give anyone this kind of advice

You know you won't be seen as intelligent just because you quoted me, right?

airmark:
Fact is fact, whether you like it or not.

Had Torino accepted bid and sold Belotti to Arsenal, your Lacasera wouldn't have joined them. It was a case of, If you couldn't afford pounded yam, you manage eba and smile.

"I made a mistake about Belotti and Krychiowiak. However, one cannot take a way the role injuries played in their derailment". As soon as you do this, nobody will be able to use it against you.

But you keep churning out these lies to protect a nairaland reputation that does not matter as soon as you log out.

Nuggets were cheated yesterday, BTW.

aliondo:
Bro..is hate not a strong word?? Or what you think?

We are Rivals, not Enemies!!!!!!!

I hate their antics. Their lack of trying to win well. Their pride. Their lack of gamesmanship. Their chicanery.

ipledge10:
I dislike Houston, but I think it’s gonna be a quickie this time. I think we taking tonight’ game

This team that picks days to coast, I don't know how to predict them after back to back wins. One thing is for sure though, Steph will not continue to not shoot like his regular self. Same as Klay. And then, I don't trust the NBA anymore. Very possible we are in the bonus in the first quarter with Steph, KD and Draymond with 3 fouls each. I know they want to extend the series. If they don't cheat, we are supposed to still best Rockets today.

They underestimated us and believed the rubbish about being 3-2 up or winning 3-1 during the regular season. And we coasted a lot during the regular season. I am still surprised teams still underrate us, even ediot pundits.

SmooshCHN:
I don't know what Ipledge10 and Aliondo are saying oo.. This same Denver? I hate their arena, to begin with. And let's not even start with how deep they are. I learnt to respect the Nuggets the hard way. I'll take Blazers in a heartbeat. We've been nursing them since 2014.

Denver has been a problem to us on their ground in the past, but I will take anything but Houston.

I hate Houston with all my heart.

Hate them.

calculator123:
Justify the bolded no use mumsy do excuse o

It is easy so see how. If EV wins a treble this season he will be the first coach in Barca history to do so. Also, he would have been doing it in his first season, unlike Enrique or Pep.

Olamyyde:
See how inconsistent players like sterling, costa and coman improved under pep. Dembele would have become a world beater by now under pep.

Jeffren, Bojan and co were going to bench Messi, Villa, Etoo, Henry and Zlatan.

On the other hand, 270M pounds players are not good. Any coach using them is trying his best. I have read it all.

Ozkar:
please stop it

Dembele wasn't distracted by Pique. He simply played rubbish. Messi worked hard to drag defenders out of the way and create that chance. Dembele just passed it to Alisson instead.

When they like a player, they defend everything about him. Had it been Coutinho that missed that chance, we would have been reading thread upon threads about how useless he is.

Tactically, Valverde got it right but somehow, we still outtalented them. I don't think they can come back from this, but we should be under no illusions that they will not try. Nobody will see them as failures so we better be on alert.

steady986:
Lol, now it's ankle injuries. OK o

What are you?

steady986:
Which one is barely had no rest. Didn't they play back-to-back games in the regular season with teams who had had 2 days rest?

The intensity of the playoffs and regular season are they the same?

steady986:
End every analyst said the rockets should have had at least 4 more fouls fouls from 3s in that match.

And, one more stat for you to digest. In the playoff finals series against the rockets last year, the refs highly favoured GS on calls to the tune of 90 points. 90 points in the span of 7 games.

You are just regurgitating Nick Wright's nonsense. A guy who has been proven to conjure up fake stats just to win an argument.

How many analysts said Harden was pushing off and should have been called an offensive foul on him? How many mentioned that he got at least 3 phantom calls as well?

Which one is it again - is the NBA helping GSW and letting Curry suffer bad fouls each game or are GSW still all stars? Pick a lane.

steady986:
You don't get the memo. Harden shot 4/16 from 3 and 9/28 overall, Capella scored 4 points and PJ scored 0. And virtually all of them ended with a minus rating in that game, and they lost only by 4 points. 4 points with all that bad stats. And to say it was a game the Rockets could have even won goes to show you that the Warriors have a huge obstacle going forward.

I don't think you watch games or understand them. GSW had 20 TOs. Of those, like 10 were unforced. GSW barely had any rests between game 6 of the Clippers and this game 1. Almost all the ediot analysts said Warriors will drop that game especially with Curry and Klay having ankle injuries. LOL.

It is not me you want to debate biko.

steady986:
But KD still shot 15 FTs abi.

How many of them were based on foul calls?

Sixers almost choked that one. Raptors are actually looking more solid than I thought. Will be fun to see which teams make the ECFs and how it pans out.

SmooshCHN:
The hate for the Warriors is real. So all good shooters need at most 3fts but James Harden needs 5fts when contested. Same dude shoots with less than 3ft when he is wide open.

This same James Harden who should thank the refs when he retires is crying about some missed calls. Same refs who would wait for full good 1/2secs to see if the Houston misses a shot before calling a foul. F*cking hypocrites everywhere. Niggas want don't want a fair chance but wants the refs in his pants just like he had all season. 18FTs isn't enough for him. They should make it 30FTs because he knows how to draw fouls. Comical

Don't mind them. Not once did I hear anybody complain about the fouls that were called on Curry. Not once. Same people who will tell us to stop complaining about Refs. Everything will come full circle. Barring cheating by Refs, I actually feel Rockets can be swept. Their whole game is predicated on Free Throws and streaky 3pt shooting when the other team is in foul trouble and cannot guard. That is all they planned.

chic2pimp:
Yh but Bucks aren't Golden State. Apart from Adetokunbo no one else will get into your team. I'd be keenly following the adjustments Coach Bud will make.

Remember Boston Day Massacre. Where Celts beat Lakers by 30+ or 40+ points I forget at the Staple centre and ended up losing the series 4-1 or 4-2. Bucks were 60wins for a reason. They will react. Besides, Celts shot incredibly and trust me, it will go down to the mean.

chic2pimp:
Make no bones about it, Steph is the heartbeat of this team just that KD makes them almost unbeatable. This Guy never seems to have a Bad Game. You can for example tell when Steph is having a bad day but with KD you simply can't. You might think "Oh I haven't seen Him all game" and then you check the scoreboard and realise He has scored 24 points. Dude is insane. Replace KD is any other Small Forward yesterday and you'd have lost that game.

And Yh Steph needs protection from the Ref. I thought for example Giannis was getting hacked all day yesterday but Steph gets it worse especially with His small frame.

KD is the best player on the team no doubts. I was just stressing how he is also the easiest to play through because he still somehow gets most of his foul calls whereas Steph does not.

steady986:
Durant had more FT attempts than Harden so what's your point?

Now I know you did not watch the game. Like 3 of KDs FTs were from technicals on Rockets when Curry was sitting due to his four fouls. Curry's 4FTs also includes the technical on CP3. So when I say Harden shot the most FTs. I know what I am saying.

steady986:
And where's that guy that always complained about the refs not being fair to GS? Erudite or what's he's name. What do you have to say now? The refs that are supposed to give opponents a fair shot at challenging are assisting them, this star-studded team that needs to be handicapped by all indications. But why not, the NBA wants to protect it's golden child GS, cos GS winning the league fits the narrative. I couldn't count the number of sacrilegious no foul calls on Harden, especially that last three pointer to tie the game at 103. What about the one on CP3.

LOL. Last last you will be alright.

CP3 will jump and stretch out his leg to get a foul and the refs should let them? LOL.

How many times have they given Curry that call? Harden was 9-28 yet still made 35pts because he got 14 FTs. Curry on the other hand had 4 FTs and was on 4 fouls early in the game. Watch that video I posted and tell me how most of those calls were fouls?

Hardetayour:
I could agree 2 were fouls on Harden by Klay but the rest is utter crap.

I remember a playoff game were Steph came out with scratches all over his hands fighting over screens and whatnot but when thier fluke MVP who needs to kick out every time he takes a 3 is not called, they cry blood.

I am not arguing their rubbish calls. I am saying EVERY time Steph jumps they close the space under him with almost no calls. If any fool wants to argue for Harden they should stress how it happens to Steph ALWAYS.

How can Harden who takes step-back 3s somehow still jump 3ft forward into the defenders landing space?

How can a player who got the most free throws in the game complain about not getting calls?

How many flimsy calls did they call on Curry today?
