Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

Westbrook and Durant are top-5 players in the NBA.

Klay Thompson is not.

OKC certainly has the talent to win the series and they would not be the first team to underachieve in the regular season and then go on a deeper-than-expected playoff run.

Steven Adams: 11.0 PPG, 8.5 RPG
Andrew Bogut: 3.0 PPG, 4.3 RPG

Regular season numbers mean nothing. It doesn't matter if they lit up a bunch of scrubs in the regular season they have to do it to OKC's D now.

OKC had the best offense right after GS. The main adjustment they have made compared to the regular season and first two rounds is going with a smaller lineup rather than playing Enes Kanter (which has helped their defense).

I'm not blaming Curry for this thrashing they're receiving this series, it's obviously on the whole team, I have nothing but respect for this man his season was undeniably one of the best if not the best ever (statistically). To compare him though to someone who in his prime was dominant in every aspect of the game is a little ridiculous.

When Steph retires I'm sure the 73-9 Warriors will be in that respective 2k game, and I agree his SHOOTING should be maxed out, but honestly his stats should not be overloaded to catch the players that are truly the best to ever do it. Curry isn't faster than John Wall or a point slower than Westbrook.

1. When it was time to win everyone knew who was getting the ball, and since they didn't lose for 6 years straight I guess it worked.

2. Really? He had multiple ankle sprains and even a knee sprain in the 97 season. He also took over an NBA finals game WITH THE FLU.

3. Again, Really?

Steph must be really banged up if he's doing 360 dunks in warm-ups lol, stop making excuses for this guy and take it for what it is, he's not showing up when his team needs him

That and OKC has the length, and athleticism to switch everything and put constant pressure on the ball, thus taking the Warriors out of their offence. Adams, KD, and Ibaka are doing a good job of running Curry off the line. They're also being very physical with Curry.

This is exactly why Curry hasn't been as effective as he was all year. People don't understand how much being physical takes it's toll on a shooter, being physical makes it very hard for a shooter to catch rhythm. OKC is doing a good job on Curry that is all there is too it.

Which has what to do with his teammates accountability?

You do realize "THE FLU" and "PHYSICAL INJURY" are not the same thing right
