So its Wade's fault now? lmao

Its not anyone’s fault, he was just simply out of his prime by the time that series went down still played horrible in some games tho. Only reason I’m pointing it out is because of the context surrounding the convo. You said Lebron had “the better teammates”, but Wade just wasn’t the same guy by 2014 so there’s not much you can hold against Lebron considering those circumstances. That Spurs team was still elite tho...not saying if they had a Prime Wade it’d be easy but it would’ve been more competitive for sure.

You acting like Wade was a bum at that point and all the Spurs were at their prime. Duncan was 37, just a year younger than Ray Allen. Kawhi hadnt reached his prime. The Spurs was an elite team, so what? The Heat was also an elite team with the so called GOAT in his prime, no excuses for getting destroyed. Didnt Lebron say he would win "not 1, not 2, ..... , not 6, not 7" after joining Heat?

So because he choked with Wade and Bosh we ignore that he CARRIED a D-league player who was his second best player to 6 games against tha Warriors?

Yes we ignore that because this is a GOAT discussion, we are not comparing him to Jimmy Butler. We are comparing him to the real GOAT who had a flawless record.

Steph got a little passive there for a stretch and his teammates couldn't buy him a basket. Also, turnovers.

We already kind of saw how the Warriors could handle them in the last regular season game. Ja would have to make the wide open 3s they were giving him for them stand a chance. On the other end you can’t only have Dillon Brooks trying to stop Curry. So I’m not sure what kind of adjustment they gonna make there but if Ja Morant hits his 3s and gets to the line enough they have a chance.

So far Ja is doing it. Even though they can't stop Steph, they've contained him enough to pass it to someone else who can't make a basket and are answering back on the other end.

Curry's had a fantastic season comparable to his 2015-16 numbers but i do genuinely hope he doesn't win MVP this season (it should be Jokic imo and no one else), it would be a bad precedent if he were to win the award and the Warriors lose tonight and miss the playoffs

From what I've seen in that MVP tracker on reddit, Jokic might win it in a landslide. Steph had a great season anyway.

MEM are stifling GSW now. Getting it out of Steph's hands and letting the other players shoot.

Steph has 5 fouls now. Best strategy is to foul him out now.
