Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

I know he’s got a long stroke as it is but did it seem KD took an abnormally long time to get his shot up to end the game?

Or maybe it just felt that way knowing how long was left.

Man that was so ugly. Offense was pretty messy, particularly after Green went off.

 

[fidstar]

been pretty ugly so far. Defense needs a lot of work.

 

[fidstar]

Curry really has some stupid fouls.

We suck

Slow start to the season. We've been up for a long time... I'd rather a down patch at this time of year than later on.

Yar, I think we'll come good as will the Cavs

Jesus, today was horrible to watch, especially because we weren't even shooting bad.

I dont know if Swaggy P fits into our rotation - much prefer Casspi

 

[fidstar]

We are definitely getting the best from everyone. Teams have been circling the games against us.

 

[fidstar]

Still not sure why we don't start Durant with Thompson at the start of the 2nd/4th.

 

[fidstar]

Also Draymond needs to stop shooting 3s from 5 feet beyond the 3 point line. Any three other than wide open ones from 3 inches behind the line are stupid shots for him.

He takes some dumb shots doesn't he

 

[fidstar]

Curry shooting 50/40/95
Thompson 53/46/83
Durant 53/49/82

Just got to keep up the defense.

 

[fidstar]

Pretty solid road trip.

Offense is amazing. Defense starting to improved. Cracked the Top 20 now.

Just a matter of not getting bored.

 

[fidstar]

Offensive rating currently 10ppg better than anyone else

 

[kozi]

Steph +44 on the floor in 30 minutes. I had to look twice.

 

[fidstar]

That was ugly. Good defense and we win easy even when we shoot like shit.

Cracked the top 15 now on the defensive end.

 

[CJApples87]

These 3rd quarters .

So many smart decisions, defence really steps up and the bench players take their chances in the 3rd.

Steph commits the dumbest fouls and it costs us

Having an average season (by his standards)

Last game was shit, but he's been very good this season. Top 5 or 10 in most of the advanced stats.

Yeah that’s an odd comment Mitch. His season had started superbly until the injury which clearly hampered him against the Celtics.

Probably just frustrated because 1) his 3pt shooting is well down, and 2) he used to be the focal point for GSW - remember two years ago when he was must see TV? Now I don't get that vibe anymore and I guess I just miss it I miss when every second game "human torch mode" was activated, but I guess we don't need that anymore with Durant and how good our supporting cast is

Also he's probably my favourite player so I'm definitely putting him under the microscope haha

Out of curiosity, what are those stats?

I know +/- he always does well in but I'm a little iffy on that stat

Equal 5th in Total win shares
Equal 2nd in win shares per 48 mins
Equal 5th in Value over replacement
9th in offensive rating
6th in PER
And he's in the top 10 in all the plus/minus ratings

Trying to compare him to 2016 Steph is unfair. 2016 Steph put together the GOAT offensive season.
