Golden State Warriors

Of course it wouldn't make sense to put your best offensive option to guard the opposing team's guard knowing the fact that somebody else can do a better job containing or making it difficult to make baskets. Why would you want to him to exert more effort in playing defense?! That's not his strong suit but that doesn't mean he doesn't play it. Curry himself admitted he's not their best guard defender and he said he's fortunate to play along side Klay Thompson, who's definitely bigger and more athletic compared to him. Plus, it's the NBA for f#&k's sake. Nobody can guard anybody one on one on defense,unless you're Kawaii, especially those names that you mentioned. Individual defense wouldn't matter if you can't play team defense. You're so high on Westbrook, yes, he can score, dish out assists, crash the boards, and all that, but did he win? Did he score efficiently? How many shots did he put up to get that score? What's his +/-? What's his assist to turnover ratio?

 

Also, I knew, way back when he was playing for Davidson, that defense isn't his forte. He wasn't athletic enough even before,so whether you pointed it out or not, it wouldn't matter.

 

I hope that answers your question.

 

 

 

 

 

 

nagsasabi lang ako ng nakikita ko. yung tanong ko nga hindi niyo masagot. bakit hindi binabantayan ni curry ang mga magagaling na guard ng kabilang team, ilang beses ko pinapanood at pinagmamasdan pa simula nung season. sila chris paul, westbrook, damian lillard. at iba pa, ultimong si tony parker nga hindi niya binabantayan, eh sobrang mas mabilis at athletic ang ibang guard sa kanya hindi rin siya binabantayan ni curry. si thompson ang bumabantay. hindi naman mismatch yon kasi magkasing laki lang sila. so sinasabi mong dahil physically less gifted si curry sa mga ibang guard sa league kaya hindi niya binabantayan? tinawag mo overrated ang defense ni westbrook, pero hindi ko siya nakita na tumanggi na hindi harapin ang challenge na bantayan ang mga magagaling na guards. huwag mo ring gagawing palusot na game plan ni steve kerr yan. pwede naman niya sabihin na gusto niyang harapin ang challenge na bantayin ang best point guard ng kabilang team pero hindi. sila chris paul, tony parker, westbrook at iba pa, binantayan nila si curry, at least masasabi kong kahit mahirap para sa kanila at least hinaharap nila ang challenge na bumantay. eh si HYPE curry kailangan pa si thompson bumantay para sa kanya? halos pareho lang ang laki nila.

 

panoorin ninyo sa finals makikita niyo sinasabi ko. si kyrie irving hindi man niya babantayan sa series. iaasa na naman niya na isalba siya ni thompson dahil hindi niya kaya bantayan.

 

sigurado ako, sa sobrang pagkabilib ninyo sa kanya hindi niyo na pinansin ang kanyang depensa, kung hindi ko lang nabanggit ito.

This is an article on who got votes as 'defenders' in the nba... curry was not part of the 1st and 2nd teams but he was considered as a player who plays a decent defense... asding to the fact that he averages around 2 steals per game (not in the article) which is in the top 10 of the nba steals stats... just sharing .... let us enjoy the finals series

alam mo siguro ang kasabihan Defense wins Championships. hindi mo matatalo ang kabilang team kung hahayaan mo lang sila umiskor hindi ba? natawa na lang ako sa basketball 101 mo. parang style ni mike d' antoni ang sinasabi mo. outscore the opponent. don't pay attention to defense. ang pinagkaiba lang nila ng phoenix ay at least itong team na ito plays defense. kung scoring lang, eh andyan yung ibang player na pwedeng umiskor para sa kanila. si thompson. sila barbosa, si livingston, pati si speights tumitira ng tres. kahit wala si curry sa golden state alam mo bang wala masyadong drop off sa laro ang team? nung 1st round series vs houston wala siya. tinalo pa rin nila, kahit ang portland, kaya nila talunin kahit wala si curry. so anong impact ang dala ni curry aside sa scoring niya? wala naman pinagbago dahil kayang dalhin ng ibang player sa team. (excerpt ito galing sa isang ex nba coach nung tinanong siya tungkol sa impact ni curry sa warriors)

 

tanggalin mo si lebron sa cleveland or sa miami na lang para may basis. ano nangyari nung umalis sa miami? nahirapan ang team at ang laki ng drop off sa wins. nung wala pa siya sa cleveland, hindi naman kayang dalhin ni irving ang team pero nung dumating siya. asa finals sila ngayon. yan ang argumento ko sa impact ng player sa team. sa akin tanggalin mo si curry sa warriors at magiging successful pa rin ang warriors kahit wala siya as evidenced sa mga naunang series nila sa playoffs at regular season na hindi siya naglalaro dahil sa injury. nananalo pa rin warriors

Well... as they say... LOSERS are always BITTER!

 

No amount of explanation of basketball facts could convince them because their bitterness has closed their minds.

 

Enjoy the Finals folks! My prediction? It's GSW in 6 or 7!

You can argue all you Want, he's still the MVP. Unfortunately for Curry, he never had the type of physique that those other so called 2 way players have. He makes it up with his effort and positioning tho. It is what it is. Di ko din naman nakita si James Harden na bantayan ung best player ng other team ah pero bakit naging 2nd siya sa MVP voting last year tapos 3rd this year? Pwede mo sabihin na same category sila ni Curry when it comes to defense but they also considered him for MVP or one of the best player in the league. Stupid na lang ng coach kung ilalagay mo si Curry sa mas malaki and athletic na player sa defense. It's like putting CP3 against LeBron or Melo. Di lahat ng best player or MVP may defense. Tanungin mo na lang si steve Nash. It is what it is. You can argue all you want, but he still is the league's MVP. Blame the AP and coaches for that.

Curry got the MVP because of his offensive prowess. His historic Shooting numbers, and his range is unheard of, and it melts even the best defenses down. He's at his best when hitting those ridiculous shots, allowing his drives to the basket, and more space for his teammates. He's not a stalwart defensively pero he's nothing to be scoffed at. He may be weak sa 1 on 1 defense, pero sa weakside help, he is good, hence he leads the league in steals. He guards the lesser offensively capable Player in the other Team kasi the Coach wants him to focus sa offense. The Thing with that is, that they have a defensive juggernauts in Klay, Green and Bogut, that Curry can Focus heavily on his offense. The fact that he's the MVP on a great Team means a lot. He may not be the most athletic, or talented, but he's the most valuable player.

 

Also, Marketing. HAHA Curry sells, an MVPs should sell. The NBA remains to be a Business and it should be treated that way.
