Dasar posted:steph changed offense is played, ignore the old man arguing that he isn't notable. I have to go back to this : Steph is not a great offensive player . the warriors are not a great offensive team . they win on 1. playing in a garbage conference and 2. defense 3. intentionally injuring Kawhi Leonard he’s good !! don’t get me wrong . you can definitely win a title with Steph playing a large number of minutes (and lose them !)

euphronius posted:a much more valuable stat would be percentage of three pointers made let’s look at the all time list I agree that rate stats tell you more about a player’s ability to do that specific thing, but you don’t get the whole story without looking at Curry’s volume. the people ahead of him don’t take nearly as many shots not because they can’t make them, but because they’re unable to get the same number of open looks when they’re on the court (which usually isn’t as much as Steph)

The East is full of fraudulent teams like the Hawks, Heat, Bulls, Raptors, and Sixers. Bucks and Celtics are both great teams so they have that going for them. Nets could be solid too, depending.

TO BE FAIR the warriors won ONE title by employing MORE THAN ONE notorious center, one of whom happened to infamously, in an act of instinctual desperation, dangerously defend a high-impact three point play which as a result, very unfortunately, INVOLVEDeuphronius posted:injuring Kawhi Leonard for many years, ending a true basketball dynasty. but The Klaw got his ring eventually and the rules were changed, happy ending
