Se you dey alright sha? Who is he gonna pass to? Oubre? Wiggins? Na back of TV you dey watch ni? Wetin controlling play even mean? especially in this case. Perhaps you should go and watch the game against the Bucks. Be careful oooo.

Steph is making me to believe that he can only thrive if he has another sniper on the court alongside him. Because it's much easier to get better looks when there's another shooter on the court because it takes some of the attention off of you. Now that Steph is drawing all the attention things are not looking so good.

The Warriors just posted a 5-minute video of Steph shooting over 100 threes in a row, and I said to myself, that's just what he is: the best shooter in the game. But because he plays the point guard position doesn't mean he's the best point guard. A good point guard should be able to lead a team and control play; Steph clearly can't. And it's easy to make shots when no one is guarding you; we need to see it on the court.

Now is the time for Steph to really prove to the world that he has something more than just shooting, because this season can really make or nar his statue as one of the greatest point guards ever.

I expect him to make the playoffs though, because GS will definitely be better once DG returns. At least he'll relieve Steph of the burden of ball handling and creativity, as well as leadership.

Is it only Oubre and Wiggins that are not shooting well? Curry is 4 for 20 from 3 in the first 2 games. He's culpable too.

True, but are 3s the only points that count? He's been doing ok from midrange and drives. Those guys cannot even get a bucket from midrange. You obviously do not understand what you are saying. How many points do you want him to score? 60 every night? It's obvious he rushes some of his 3s and i understand why he still tries to take them despite not being good looks cos even if another player has a better look he'll brick it. Na the reason why i dey ask you if na back of TV you dey watch. Cos if you watched the game at least until it became a blow out you would have noticed his shots began falling for a stretch, then his teammates bricking continued then he slumped again. And i am in no way defending his poor shooting form as i believe he should be able to lead this team with Draymond Green and an upcoming Wiseman. For Oubre and Wiggins, dem fit add whatever dem wan add. . But what you talk up there na rubbish.

That would be a true test of their championship credentials. For now though, I'm just gonna bask in the euphoria of this annihilation

True test of gini? Everytime we here the clippers were built to beat the lakers. Like say the 28 other teams, na groundnut them come sell. Let a fully fit clippers jam a fully fit mavs for playoffs again. Na then una go know say white men can jump

Bruh. You do know that warriors are playing in the western conference, right? I told you sometime ago. You cannot win with wiggins on your team. That guy is a bonafide scrub in the voice of SAS.

How dare you make so much sense like this ehn?

If Curry's problem is shooting 3s then there is no problem. He is still far and away the best 3 point shooter in the league. Besides, it is the Nets and Bucks he lost to on their turf. He had lost at Oracle with KD in the team to Bucks by 30+ points. Things like that will happen from time to time. I will not criticize Oubre and Wiggins yet. Boston Celtics got beat up pretty bad by the same Nets and with a greater margin than the warriors did. It is a long season and teams will ebb, flow and go through the motions.

Tatum you are way too talented to limit your offense to just 3’s.. you started well but that game winning attempt could have been a drive in.. easily..

It is. And DG would be back to ease the pressure off the team

That has always been their downfall, they're just bothered about beating the Lakers, without thinking about other teams.

Steph shot 33% and 35% in the first 2 games. If your main scorer shoots that poorly them you're going to lose the game, I don't care how bad the other guys are. Can't you see tonight that Oubre was still terrible (3 for 16), but because Steph shot over 40% they at least secured the win.

@A40 come out oh! The GOAT just pummeled D. Henry and the Titans.. What is your excuse now Abeg!! Please hurry up with your excuses..

Analyze basketball properly bro, analyze. In the past 2 games he's not had the chance to shoot himself out of his poor form, cos it's always been a blowout and Kerr won't let him stat pad. He was very poor again, just better than the previous two, but this time he had 4 quarters, and he did come through in the fourth. I have a feeling you are just looking at the box score. Wiggins played well in the first and held us in it until the 2nd half, especially the 4th when Curry came alive.

Boy this is the Gasol we traded for. That high post play is unmatched. His influence and confidence will continue to grow as he plays.

So he only needed to play in the 4th quarter to get his efficiency right? Gotcha

I think steady986 is talking ala CP3. Curry is a fearsome offensive weapon. But he has no multiplier effect on the rest of the team. We never realized this because having Klay with Curry lets the ball flow freely anyways. I dont think this is a knock on Curry anyhow because Lillard is the same way. And like you said how do you motivate a Wiggins? CP3 would definitely force the issue with Wiggins and Oubre, find them easy buckets and hold them accountable.

This was my initial point exactly.

Like CP3 did in Clippers and Rockets when they won all those rings. Gotit.

DG the former scoring champion?

The fact that you brought up the bolded is telling. Maybe Curry needs to be less nice and easy going?

He makes teammates much better. We almost beat the 72-win golden state, barring one game where he was injured. OKC pushed Rockets to game 7 last year playoffs with rookies and no name players. Suns are red hot this year. I know you get it now.

Curry needed 20 assists against Nets to influence the game instead of the 10 he got. And he should never ever suffer a shooting slump because any day he does he is not fit to be an NBA player. Unlike Lebron that has always been the best shooter the NBA has ever seen and has never suffered a shooting slump. Imagine if Klay Thompson was playing he would have carried the team like he always does. Klay Thompson has never suffered a shooting slump in 2018 and 2019 like Curry. Curry is a bum.

someone who can talk, get in your face and call people to order. preferably curry as the leader should do this. but they may need an enforcer for this new crew

I do. They just beat the almighty Kings having lost that same game a couple days back. Prior to then, CP3 and Harden beat a leaderless Warriors team in which Curry had 0 pts in the first half and failed by scoring 33 in the second half to still lose to CP3 4-2. Remember that useless Curry that lacks leadership qualities that qualified for the playoffs 51-31 under Mark Jackson? The one who won 67-15 under Kerr and a ring with all those all star players? I wish he was CP3 who won 3 rings with the wonderful Clippers.

clippers will be alright imo. People underestimate how much team chemistry matters - I expect a well coached team like the Mavs to pick apart a team with so many new pieces and the main star missing

I see no lies here but I disagree with that guy slating Curry for not shooting well.

Meh, early season jitters to be worked out. Lets see them in February. The rest of your post doesn't make any sense, try making your point directly next time. Sarcasm is not really an argument, just so you know. Something about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit, but what do I know...

Kobe Bryant told Lebron after the Lakers did not make it to the playoffs in 2019 that leadership is not about passing the ball to people and blaming them for missing shots or yelling at people.
