Or we are likely just one of the worst teams in defending the perimeter. Remember the Bulls game where they made 42% or the Suns game where they made almost every 3PA.?
Steph just hates San Antonio with a burning passion
OKC played great defense alongside being allowed to hold him.
Spurs don’t have any players who are good at chasing or lockdown on ball, and Wemby doesn’t deter him like he does to other players.
He was probably tired by the pelicans game.
Steph wanted to ball out against wemby it’s that simple. He is ultra competitive. When he has a reason, we don’t need to understand. Just enjoy a legendary battle
Playing drop coverage got him going, you don’t ever play drop against Curry
If Steph got calls against other teams like he got against the Spurs he’d avg 40ppg for the prime of his career and still be routinely putting up 50 point games.
We can’t breathe on him without fouls, meanwhile OKC was literally hip-checking him off the court during shot attempts with no calls.
I’m guessing attempting 25 field goals two games in a row and all that running around finally caught up to him. Also, he doesn’t have to try so hard to beat the fucking Pelicans.
I choose to interpret this as evidence of how good the Spurs are. 😉
Outside of castle and wemby the spurs have a bunch of negative defenders
It was on national TV FRI night.
So what was Mitch’s plan after the first game to slow him down?
Our perimeter defense is just terrible right now. We are good at clogging the paint but when they pass out of it we are caught pretty flat footed
We played horrible defense on him trailing the screens instead of hard switching,it’s not hard to understand
Dude is just a Spur killer plain and simple. We’ve seen plenty of them through the years. There’s just some specific players that always seem to play good against us almost always. He is one of them
Something I havent seen mentioned in all this is the Warriors are really bad matchup for a team who has no defensive continuity.
Answer is simple. When you play the likes of Fox, Julian, Keldon and Barnes major minutes, you’re going to struggle to defend the perimeter.
That’s called “emptying the clip”
That’s how averages work.
Gotta move on.
I think this is also why the last loss hurt so bad. You can see how much wemby wanted to win and he did everything in his power to not let steph get that win and it was just thrown away in the last few seconds. It sucks but I hope it taught him and the team a good lesson. Do not take any lead for granted and do not count on the refs to help.
Steph took us seriously. He knew pelicans were a joke and didn’t bother wasting the effort on an overly stacked Thunder team (this probably isn’t true but it’s the lore I’m creating.) If anything, this says more about how much of a threat we’ve become to the better of the two conferences.
Ok and? Players have ups and downs….lol what?
He gamblin .
game respects game. think of it as who he wants to pass the torch to.
let’s just hope wemby will always be healthy and enjoy the league’s best always pushing our boys to the limit.
3rd time this has been posted. He cooked us. Didn’t seem like that bid a deal in the larger scheme of things to me but I guess the fanbase disagrees?
