If this is your way of arguing he's not clutch, you're an idiot.
I don't even like Curry and he's by far the most clutch shooter since Ray Allen.
Aren't you a Kobe fan though, talking about not being clutch?:roll:

I clearly said I dislike Curry.

But using an arbitrary stat from one season shouldn't dictate his clutchness.
Especially when anyone who watched basketball recognizes him as the most clutch player in the game.

I'm trying to think of the games where these could have happened.

Obviously last night was a miss and he had the historical one against OKC. They've only had 8 losses. Two were blowouts. So only 5 games he could have missed the other 3 shots.

Just went through the schedule,


They lost by double digits to DET, MIL, and DAL. And Klay missed a potential GW against DEN.


So, maybe there were games where he missed and a teammate scored. Would like to see them actually list the games where it happened. But, it's ESPN and they aren't really known to make cognitive decisions. Just say anything that sticks is their motto basically.

Damn. Meltdown.

It's just a stat, kid. ESPN achieved their goal by having you frantically scramble around like a cucaracha trying to disprove their numbers.

And ESPN has been giving Curry the royal handjob all season long. The first shred of negative criticism and here you are melting down like a b*tch. I guess it's true what they say about Bay Area peeps being emotionally weak/sensitive f*ggots. :roll:

Even if that is correct, so what?

His play has been so brilliant that he hasn't played in a number of 4th quarters.

I find some these "clutch" stats amusing. How often do we read about the "clutch" play of Bart Starr, who is arguably the greatest post-season QB in NFL history? And yet Johnny Unitas and John Elway are both considered "clutch" QBs?

Unitas played on two title winners early in his career, and then proceeded to puke all over the field in every big game he played in the 60's and 70's. Hell he won a SB ring in a game in which he was benched after a putrid first half.

And look up the history of "the drive." A five minute march that resulted in a tying touchdown. BUT, Elway had been simply AWFUL in the first 55 minutes. And until the last two years of his long career, he had been a running Super Bowl joke. A QB that would "lead" his team to blowout losses.

It was so bad for Elway that even the Simpson's ran a show on him: "And John Elway has led Denver on another brilliant last minute TD drive. With the extra point, it is Denver 7, and the 49ers, 56."

He also won a ring with a horrific SB performance.

I'll take the player who dominates for nearly the entire game, over a player who plays poorly for nearly the whole game, and somehow his team keeps him in the game long enough for him to hit the game winner.

He is 36/74 in the last 5 minutes of a game with the margin between 5 and - points.

16/37 on threes, 20/37 on twos.

Iirc, Kobe up to 2013 was in the low 30s percentage wise

Curry is 1/3 on threes in the sample you mentioned, which isn't good, but considering that all 3 shots have been from beyond 26 feet it's far better than average.

Last year he was 2/5 from that situation

For reference, Kobe is 45/152 from 2001-2013.

Davis is the one who jumped in direct line to curry. What do you mean curry jumped into him? Even if curry landed straight, Davis would've collided with him regardless. Only way is if both Davis and curry both try to avoid each other but as the shooter, curry doesn't need to try to avoid anything. He has a right to his space. This isn't blatant flopping, davis collided right into him

Davis is running full speed to block the shot, Curry knows it, and braces himself for impact. It should have been an and-1 if anything. Curry jumping in lol? He turns around to avoid maximum impact.

I was going to make a gif but you're too dumb for the trouble.

Go watch the shot from all angles.
If you can't tell that Curry kicked out his leg to see contact you're an idiot.
And stop with this "full speed" and "maximum contact" crap. When Davis comes down he's already slowing down and barely bumps Curry.

Look at where Davis lands and where Curry would've landed had he not flopped to the side.
At most the would've bumped sides if that.

The sad part is you're one of the same people that criticizes Lebron for everything he does, but will make every excuse in the world for a guy that obviously flopped.

It makes sense that most 3-pointers are wide open - today's drive-and-kick offenses require 3-4 players standing behind the line on every play (spacing), so the defense is stretched out and can't make timely rotations most of the time.

Keep in mind that driving and kicking for 3-pointers wasn't common or the staple of ANY team's offense until about 10 years ago.. Consequently, good 3-point shooters in the 80's and 90's didn't benefit from offenses that were based on their strength like today's 3-point shooters do.. Guys like Reggie Miller and Larry Bird had to run off screens for most of their 3-point looks - they didn't get to just stand there and wait for kickouts like today's player.

We know it's much easier to get to the rim in today's game, because Westbrook, Lebron, Butler, Derozan and Wade have poor 3-point and midrange efficiency (they can't shoot), yet they're still the best wing scorers because today's wide open spacing and hands-off defense makes it easier for good ballhandlers or athletes to get to the rim than ever before.

You simply DON'T have to be a good shooter to be a top scorer in today's game because it's so easy to get to the hole - yet Curry has the best 3-point shot, so that makes it even easier him.. This results in the inflated at-rim stats that you showed.

Perhaps, but the fear of the 3pt shot in MJ's era was minimal. Hell, they had to shorten the line considerably to get players to shoot it.

Today players have been raised on distance shooting. And the Warriors are one of the best examples of that. Three players at .411+, and three more at .356+...and on far more 3pt shot attempts that those in '96.

You simply can't pack the lane like previous eras. There is a reason teams go to small ball...you can't afford to have even one player left open from behind the arc.

It won't be long, and the center position will be almost extinct. A post-up center is only good for two points at one end, and then he has to chase shooters out to 25+ ft at the other.

Agreed - players in previous eras weren't a threat from 3-point range like today's players, so teams didn't run the 3-point-producing, drive-and-kick plays that today's teams use.. Instead, POST-UPS were the staple of most offenses, so defenses had to emphasize defending the paint instead of the 3-point line.

But now that teams have sufficient 3-point shooting personnel to drive-and-kick for 3-pointers (as opposed to 2-pointers), the drive-and-kick format has become more efficient than the post-up format.. This proves that the decline in post-ups is due to higher efficiency drive-and-kick made possible by 3-pointers, not defensive tactics.. In the absence of 3-pointers, no amount of defensive strategy could prevent post-ups from supplanting drive-and-kick..

Since post-ups, mid-range, off-ball and isolations were the only things left in the 80's without the 3-pointers needed to make drive-and-kick worthwhile, we can say with certainty that many of today's elite players would be lesser players back then - their 3-and-D skill sets exclude elite ability in any of the aforementioned areas

This from yesterday...

http://www.sfchronicle.com/warriors/article/Stephen-Curry-Inside-the-trajectory-of-world-s-6858435.php


He has learned to embrace his green light to shoot more often and from farther away. His volume of three-point shots is up 35 percent this season, compared with last year. And, despite this increase in attempts, he’s making a higher percentage of those shots.

Curry also is shooting better from even greater distances. The NBA three-point line sits 22 feet from the basket in the corners, and 23 feet, 9 inches around the arc. That’s a long way, but Curry has stretched the feasible shot even farther: He’s sinking more than 60 percent of his shots from 28-plus feet this season, including three from 40 feet or longer (most recently a stunning half-court shot Thursday).

Simply put, basketball has never seen this kind of long-range shooting.

04-03-2016, 07:33 PM
Today the 3pt distance is almost meaningless.


As the nba.com's data showed on the previous page, over 80% of today's 3-pointers are taken with 4+ feet of room (over 50% taken with 6+ feet of room).

So 3-pointers need to be OPEN... But if the 3-point line is closer, that saves defenders 3-4 feet of closeout space and makes it harder to get off clean looks like today's game.

If you take away points from inside 20 feets, Curry would shit on Jordan.

A shorter line would make no difference to Curry. Defenses would still have to defend him at 30+ feet. Hell, he is shooting 60% from 28+ feet (or the equivalent of 90% from two-point range.)

Curry needs to be open for 3-pointers too - over 70% of his 3-pointers are wide open:


........................................0-2 ft (very tight).... 2-4 ft (tight)..... 4-6 ft (open).... 6+ ft (very open)

STEPH CURRY'S.
3-PT ATTEMPTS PER GAME ............0.4 (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/).................... 2.9 (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/)..................5.1 (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/)..................2.7 (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/) <-- nba.com

PERCENTAGE OF
TOTAL 3-PT ATTEMPTS ................0.4% (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/)................ 26.1% (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/).............45.9% (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/).............24.3% (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/201939/tracking/shots/)



In Jordan's case, he wouldn't need to shoot 3-pointers to be the top scorer in today's game, since none of the top wings are good shooters - Westbrook, Lebron, Butler, Derozan and Wade have poor 3-point AND midrange efficiency, yet they're still the best wing scorers because today's wide open spacing and hands-off defense gives athletic players easier access to the rim than ever before.

The wide open spacing and hands-off defense would benefit Jordan's athleticism the same way, except his midrange jumpshot was GOAT-level, which would give him a massive edge over his aforementioned, non-shooting peers.

He blew the game again tonight a couple of times in the last minute or so.
