For real for real. Should have been trying to foul him before he reached half court. Immediately. Two FT's better than a 3, and if he went to heave it from 3/4 court expecting contact, then back off and let him heave it.

Easier said than done plus they were expecting them to call a TO. Curry is hard to guard. Can shoot n dribble plus he like automatic from the line. Lol basically lose by two or by one in your scenario.

Dude, I am saying on the LAST POSSESSION, to pick up the world's greatest shooter and make him take an "uncomfortbale" shot.

Stop downplaying the adaptability of these dudes man.

That is just a defensive lapse more than anything.

But you are right, it is easier said than done.

It's like you forget what team you're talking about. You think shifting the defense to gather close to Steph at half court won't result in a layup on a fast break? Really? If ANYONE stepped up for help D, then curry would make the right play like usual and it's end up like usual

You are wasting your time bro. It's obvious they have never played organized ball on a high level, smh.

He was covered only on the release.

The look, the gather, was uncovered.

He shouldn't have been able to get a clean look, and gather his shot so easily.

These things don't happen in the NBA for a reason. Especially in a transition/ semi transition scramble.

I guarantee if Roberson steps up, steph finds the open man with easier look then a pull up jumper from 35 feet

Yes and thats exactly what i want. Ill take my chances with a role player over potentially the greatest shooter ever who has already hit 11 threes. Theres no way u ever really played ball tho after that first comment

And why are you acting like Steph would have easily blown by Roberson in the first place. 

I am not saying Roberson would or wouldn't have been able to contain him for a few seconds, but why are we so sure Roberson WOULDN'T have been able to at least turn him and make a more difficult decision?

My issue is Steph didn't have to concern himself with defense AT ALL.

THAT shouldn't have been the case

Trying to guard Steph that far, you are gonna get burned and the defense is gonna end up scrambling to cover the open man, leaving someone else one.

Pick your poison.

when games on the line in any sport isnt it taught the best player doesnt beat you ... ill take an open guy other than Curry shooting a shot


Yall talkin about its not smart to pick him but sames dudes talkin bout teams game plan for steph himself .. so you tellin no where in that game plan you discuss his range.

Cmon man ... idc im stickin with it you pick him up asap because you know damn well where the ball is goin just like the ball went to KD end of regulation.

You pick steph up asap if he blows by you then so be it, but hes puttin the ball on the floor and possibly using some kinda dribble crossover move or w/e which is ticking time. Yeah he may still get a shot off but he isnt casually walking into a comfortable shot. If he drives past you and passes it EVEN BETTER someone else has to beat you not the best player. And at that time, the next best option to make a shot was who? Because Thompson and Green were in the back court. Barnes was open to the left i think ... either way its not the best guy takin the shot OR hes dribblin and has to pull up quick n throw it up (which could go in but its not an easy look)


The way some of you post make it seem like you havent played competitive ball or never played someone better than you. Acting like things dont ever change in the last moments of the game

Lol exactly my point and DC acting like the previous 11 were all last min half court shots. DC have you played organized ball on a high level? Seriously, because it's makes a difference in perceptions.

I don't view it as BREAKING a habit.

Nobody is asking anyone to pick up Steph at half-court all the time.

But to allow HIM to casually bring the ball up, as the game is winding down, is just boneheaded.

You aren't seeing my point AT ALL. Re-read everything I typed.

I played on a high level in HS

I was a manager for a major division 1 women's basketball program

I have been coaching basketball for the last 8 years

Miss me with the perception argument
 
Steph wasn't challenged AT ALL on that last play.

THAT shouldn't happen.

Not sure how that is such a hard concept to comprehend.

Make him Turn.

Make him give the ball up.

Make him shoot off the dribble

Hell, make him THINK that there is a defensive player within an arm's reach.

Something. Don't let HIM, casually walk up court and shoot the ball practically uncontested

That is all I am saying.

For that ONE play.

For that ONE play.

For that ONE play.

For that ONE play.

For that ONE play.

Bottom line Okc d has been suspect all season..KD's chuck down the court before Ot no time outs..then Iggy foul..Clutch free throws.Mental errors by Okc in last minutes

Womens!? HA!


Just kidding
 
I don't think it's in Steph's mentality to go for a 100

To get 100 you need to make up your mind and go for it and go full blown nut

First off, Steph got the ball in the backcourt.

You can pick up without being overly aggressive.

And you act like the person that helps HAS to help off of Klay. We are speaking hypothetically, so why is it set in stone that Klay's man would have helped off?
