As far as other players jocking curry during the season on social media. This has more to do with the nba being the new wwf. Games are rigged and toyed with like the wwf so it should not come to a surprise.

Might as well have fun when u know who will n will not when the chip each year, lol

Elite handle used in that situation means time is ticking away.

Make him put the ball on the floor FORREAL, and make a play for somewhere else.

Again, he should have been picked up sooner
 
Bad turnover by KD good D by warriors..Should have never gotten to OT..I admit Steph is good for modern NBA...Hard to compare era's..The rules favor his skill set..
 
Stephs impact is far greater than raw ppg and assists numbers man. The numbers don't tell the whole story. He has no weaknesses on the offense end

But it really has nothing to do with the distance of the shot in my eyes.

Whether its steph, Kobe, Jordan, whoever, when it's 6 seconds left on the clock I don't agree with allowing them to coast up the floor and get the shot that they want.

Steph skews things a bit because of his ridiculous shot selection, but in those circumstances you don't want him (or any great player) to walk into any shot.

Makes no sense. No defender worth their salt is going to try and lock up and elite player on a fast break at half court. It's suicide. The smart play is to lock down around the 3 and inside so you don't leave the rest of your team scrambling to rotate after you get murdered out in the open water
 
Bottom line is you don't have to condition your guys for half court presses every game, just do it for Steph. Detroit made the Jordan Rules, (albeit under the WWF era) teams should make Curry rules.

It's a difficult conundrum for sure, but it's not JUST Roberson. 

All of OKC should have been sprinting to get in front of the ball so that if Roberson is throwing some type of pressure on him, steph may be forced into a more difficult shot, or into a pass, etc.

I'm not saying to OD pressure him, but just pick him up and try to turn him a bit to take some type off the clock. While you're giving some semi light pressure, you should have help because your team should be in front of the ball if they are busting their tails to get back AND roberson is applying some type of pressure.

THere's a chance GSW still wins even if they do the aforementioned, but running away from Steph Curry with 6 seconds left certainly isn't the answer. There's better alternatives than that that could have helped their chances.

What?

The idea isn't to "Try and lock up an elite player on a fastbreak at half court" man it's to get him to work the ball up the floor, wasting seconds in the process. It's six seconds. If The Thunder bust their *** to get in front of the ball and Roberson picks up Steph to apply some type of pressure, it makes things a tad bit harder for GSW and gives OKC a better chance.

You DO realize nobody is talking about pressing up on him in NORMAL half-court situations right?

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.

You are TOTALLY disregarding the SPECIFIC situation we are speaking of.

We are talking about tonight's game man.

The last play of the game. He could have easily been picked up sooner.

That is all we are saying

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

Never in your life have you ever had to guard a guy crossing half court. It goes against everything we've been taught as basketball players

Huh? U never had the pick up your man full court? Or set a halfcourt trap? U only played 23 zone?

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 No.

If KD didn't foul out, sure, take the foul. Go ito Double OT.

But, I am sure they didn't want those problems with them in another OT WITHOUT KD
 
Roberson could have stepped up, made Steph change directions, make the shot attempt a tad more difficult. (Probably wouldn't have mattered honestly, it is Steph).

But to let him casually job up court, and shoot from 38 feet, I don't understand how you let HIM do that
 
just got off work but when i saw the shot at work, the whole place went nuts. LETS GOOO. okc be a peasant team bruh. they aint touching the dubs

True, but that takes a min to condition the mind. Naturally cats are not expecting that shot nor that it has almost a 70% chance of going in.

Yea I'm thinking the 3 tied it, hell it won the damn game. 

Oh well, it's over, GSW won another regular season game. Next.

It shouldn't take a min to condition the mind when dude already hit 11 3's before that moment.

Easier said than done. Hard to break 10-15 years of basketball habit because one player just starts going bananas from 3 one season. The way Steph was covered on that last shot would've been more than sufficient for any other basketball player.
