Correct! Respect to them for those accomplishments, and no doubt Curry had a couple of outstanding seasons there. The supporting cast included all star (or players not long removed from being all stars) Klay, Dray, Iguodala, Lee. That's nothing to be sneered at - then Barnes, Bogut, Barbosa, Livingston - all very capable rotation players at NBA level. The only question I'm asking is whether Curry has the ability to take a bunch of journeymen to that next level. We've seen Harden do it for a stretch last season... DLo was an all-star last season, Green recently, and a "point forward defensive juggernaught". 3 all-stars should be enough to be competitive right?
Klay is not back yet. And they were pretty formidable with Harrison Barnes and a healthy Andrew Bogut in 2017.
Everyone keeps saying they were good pre durant so they still are good. They dont have that same veteran depth. Also iggy was younger. Their team now is entirely different and terrible. They have no reliable scoring yet. Curry and Russell. Thats it. Draymond sucks at scoring.
How can Warriors be this bad? They still got 3 all stars in the roster! OKC has zero all star. Do they need 5 all stars to compete?
"In life" I would agree. In NBA fandom? Are you kidding! Laughing at misfortunes is half of the fun. We can do that knowing full well that the "losers" we're laughing at are all privileged millionaires. Nobody dies, nobody get's hurt (hopefully), just a few millionaires feel a little embarrassed and we're trying to rub it in.
Time to start calling them by their real name. San Francisco Warriors. What the hell is Golden State? Kings, Clippers, and Lakers fans should get that changed. Or let’s call the Rockets the Lone Star State Rockets. Lol
Curry is transcendental. JH is better at creating and drawing fouls but Curry is the better shooter and off ball player. And we have seen JH shoot himself out of games and give up when calls aren't going his way. Our star isn't perfect and neither is Curry. Both have shat themselves in the playoffs. There is no way you can make a case that JH is transcendental and Curry isn't.
I don’t think curry is as good as Harden is. says in the reply you quoted that I don’t think he could carry some of the teams harden has carried. But unfortunately I think they will be a good team again next season with klay coming back and other additions. All I’m saying is that I don’t think they will fall off into oblivion never to be heard from again. This season they are cooked. Curry will be exposed as not a top level star and I don’t think they are a playoff team.
Curry's been carried most of his career...now he's in Hardens' shoes and what is he doing?....nothing! Warriors don't even make the playoffs!
