I think he's a great shooter without a doubt.The thing that bothers me is basically it's the Triangle offense the same one Kerr played as a Bull but it's the Triangle@the 3 pt line at full blast.This offense works so great as nobody really plays defense anymore,all you have to do is look at the scores.I would love to see Larry Bird and Calvin Murphy playing on the GS team,they would average 30 pts as well and I might as well add Kerr to that list thats missing a lot of guys who would do great.Alexander":2l6mxuq7 said:Smurf":2l6mxuq7 said:
As this point, I'm pretty sure most people watching that knew it was going in as soon as he shot it. Dude has been unreal this year, and his shooting percentage beyond 30 feet is ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.
I know the NBA is "soft" these days (can't play as physical on defense), but even if you miss the good old days, you have to appreciate Curry's talent.

But the Curry phenomenon is different because of his size — he is a sinewy 6 feet 3 inches, 190 pounds — and because of the way in which he dominates games by scoring far from the basket, somehow stretching the court beyond its conceivable limits.
It may be more useful to look beyond basketball, to two athletes who redefined their respective sports: Wayne Gretzky, hockey’s goal-scoring wizard, and Babe Ruth, the legendary home-run hitter.

According to our “CARM-Elo” forecast model, the Warriors’ probability of winning 73 or more games is down to just 54.6 percent — the loss to Boston dinged Golden State’s chances of making history by about 31 percentage points.

For one, they aren't resting their guys while teams like SA , Cleveland and OKC are resting players on certain games. And rather than getting in the mindset for the playoffs, they're getting too focused on winning what are essentially meaningless NBA games late in the season.
Warriors join 1995-96 Bulls in 72-win club with one left for history

I love watching them play.. Curry is such a special talent. I get where people would start to get turned off by them though since the media has been talking about 73 wins since they started the year 5-0.
I think more people hate the Seahawks because of our fan base and the "2012's" .. which absolutely is a thing. And those fans are usually pretty insufferable for the most part.. so I get it. I think the Warriors hate derives from the media fawning over their every move.
