Hmm....
Sidenote: Lebron is a *****. Lost YD in Toronto in heartbreaking fashion, so he calls in sick today.

Catching up in here. What a game last nite, right guys?
I wish I could rep this :Rollin
I ******* knew you were gonna bring up ts% or Per or something
. Like clockwork
You have a valid point but it's totally subjective. Like saying a honda is better than a Lambo because it gets better gas mileage.
Top 15 center without question
Right. It ain't that damn hard to adjust. Just a slow brained, lack of awareness situation

So, today, TIM DUNCAN became the 1st player ever to hit 3k Blocks, and he passed Malone on the Rebound List for 6th All Time

Yea dudes are talking about, "It takes take to break a habit."You have to make ANY ball handler change directions, let alone a dude who can pull from 40 feet.
We aren't talking about Jabari Brown or Patrick Christopher. Somebody who an NBA Player might not automatically remember the strengths/weaknesses of. We are talking about the best shooter that ever played in the league. You know what you have to do vs. him (Whether it works if a different story), but you know you have to guard him THAT far out with less than 4 seconds remaining.
I don't buy the, "But that isn't what you were taught as a kid" logic. Nah.

It takes a while to break a habit. A habit is something so ingrained in you, you don't even realize you're doing it. Takes many reps of conscious thinking and going against what you're taught to learn how to break your unconscious thinking.
At least give opponents the season to learn what they need to learn
Son's shooting is unprecedented and needs an unprecedented way of thinking on defense to battle it

For whatever reason, people cannot accept that the dude made a 40 footer.... Somebody has to be blamed (instead of giving credit where it is due) for this failure.
If curry had gotten the rebound and simply hucked a one handed shot from 75 feet, people would still be upset with the defense played against him.

if roberson got up on him, steph wouldve just drove by him with ease. he pulled up from near halfcourt. nothing u can do about it

Why are we so sure of this? Why are we pretending that Steph has never been contained for a single possession?
When you guarantee that Roberson would have been blown by, that is exactly what you are doing.
But ok, I tap out of this discussion. We have been going at it since last night.
Huh man.
If it was anybody else, I can understand.
Not that dude.

Again this. OKC (and Roberson in general) acted like there was nothing to worry about, as if they haven't been seeing Curry hit halfcourt shots like layups. I could only imagine if that was Chris Paul goofing like that how many rolling smilies we would've seen instead of taking up for him so much.

I dig it, I'm just saying I ain't bashing him in that scenario. A lot happens, fast.

Not bashing man. Just having a conversation. Nothing more, nothing less. You are right, it is so fast and it takes time to process stuff. And maybe he didn't pick up because he was afraid of what would happen and it is "easier" to get beat by a 40 footer.

And when we make it to the finals it'll be "We never counted out the Spurs". It's all good though.

I also do this. Seems like we see more game winners with a tie game than when trailing

Chris Jackson.Which is the best comparison to Steph in terms of a player from the past.Hold up,WHO did Phil just compare Steph too on Twitter?
Makes perfect sense and is a good reference point.
He wasn't doing THIS but if you had to write a police report on their games, it would basically be identical.

I would like to see players stats in these exact situations. I agree, trailing and hitting a game winner is pure

The RIGHT THING?
Come on you think running away from STEPH CURRY and letting him walk into a shot is THE RIGHT THING?
Come on yo.

The fact that Roberson didn't do it is understanable. Habits, in that moment creep up.You have to make ANY ball handler change directions, let alone a dude who can pull from 40 feet.
But that's why I said last night where Curry shot from didn't matter. Basketball 101, with that low of a shot clock, and with that far for the ball handler to go, you turn him, make him change directions at least once.
