Following the Lakers 111-77 loss to the Warriors on Tuesday night, Kobe Bryant said the he believes the Dubs have a real shot at breaking the 1971-72 Lakers' 33-game win streak.
"Yeah, they could do it – because they’re good," Bryant said. "It’s a very young league, and they’ve managed to put together a team of extremely intelligent players and extremely versatile players, and great shooters. And so I see no reason why they couldn’t continue to extend [the record]." Game recognize game

Even if that were correct (I presume considering pace would make your fedora fall off and we don't want to risk that), there's the fact that the Warriors score 15 more points per game, ergo would simply outscore San Antonio.

throwing the ball in the post and letting the big fellas go to work is a relic of the past with the abolition of the old illegal defense rules, which makes the post-up a p inefficient weapon

What about the other Gasol?

Curry is the best offensive player in the world right now but thats it. Hes all offense. When he wins some defensive awards or at least makes some all defense teams then you can start talking about him being top 10 all time. But until then hes just a really great offensive player.

Or he could win 5 rings and people wont care about his defense.

>>63842456
The best center in the league today is Dwight Howard.

I'd argue he's top 3 in terms of defensive point guards and that's not even an exaggeration.

You're building an expansion team, you can take any of the following players to build around. What order do you take the following players?

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, John Wall, James Harden.

Offense is more valuable than defense, that's for sure. But where you're wrong is that Curry is pretty good at defense. He's maybe top 10 as a defensive pg near the bottom of that list. Steph Curry offensive game is so devastating that even if he went 0-11 he still draws double teams and the constant unending focus and attention of the other teams entire defensive scheme.

Yeah im pretty sure i made that clear when I said hes the best offensive player in the world. Im talking about defense though. Being top 5 defensive PG is alright I guess but theres plenty of other players who can guard multiple positions and Curry doesnt even come close to that list.

Curry is probably a top 10 defensive point guard and certainly better than most if not all of the international pgs at defense. Maybe Rubio is a little better, they're both in the very good tier. The curry cant play defense meme is a total fabrication or just a misunderstanding from plebs who dont understand how modern nba defense works

exum is kill


Also more likely ingles starts at the 3 with simmons sliding to 4 with baynes going to the bench

SF Lebron,George,Kawhi
PF Aldridge,Green
C Davis,Deandre

Lets not forget Bogut was literally 1st pick and Exum another lottery pick. We're literally taking over apehoop and its not even in our top 5 main sports.
>>
>>63842826
PG defense is fucking shit. He's not CP or even Conley/Bledsoe level and they aren't all defense level (at least compared to better SGs, I know they have some among this group).

Yes, Curry can defend the lane well and grab a few steals a game, but PG d is overrated as fuck by default.

He's definitely not among the best "defensive players in the league" like that poster above said. Then again I would only consider maybe 4 PGs at that level comparative to what a SG can do and Curry is definitely not one of them.
>>
>>63842966
Okay, so whats your point then? The warriors defense was the best in the entire league last year. You really think anyone can stop a lineup like Curry, Butler, Durant, Leanord, Green? Depends on what they do with the lineups.
>>
Is there any reason to even bother with the rest of the season? Just give the Warriors their rings, it's obvious they're going to win it all.
>>
>>63842900
switch KD with CP3, Blake with Aldridge, and Harden with Butler and there's your team
tbph LeBron's gonna be playing point whenever he's on the floor; him, steph, russ, and harden are perfect as primary ballhandlers
>>
>>63843006
Nah they're clearly gonna monumentally fuck up sooner or later. Can't wait til this Warriors charade finally ends and all these loser fans get shit up.
>>
>>63842900
Oh, I was trying to guess who'd actually be picked.

Curry, Wall
Beal, Thompson, George
Leanord, Durant,
James, Green, Love
Cousins, Drummond, M Gasol

Too many deadly lineups, you can go any way you want. Curry, Beal, Durant, Love, Drummond would be insane to see.
>>
>>63843004
No. I was arguing your "modern NBA defense" and the above comment which was saying curry isn't a top defensive level player in the league (which is true, but again I would only consider CP3 and Bledsoe in this group among PGs and CP3 has frankly been quite shit this year from the 7 or 8 Clipper games I've watched so I don't know if I would even include him).


PGs have never had to play intensive defense to win, I wasn't arguing against Curry on the team I was arguing about his defense, which is being slightly overstated recently because people are looking for anything to cling on to go against Curry (defense is an easy target) then you get people (you) who will also cling on the first opportunity to overrate his defense.
He's decent but he is definitely not top caliber. I would love to see him without Klay/Dray/Iggy on the same team because those three would even make Dame or MCW look competent defensively from the other teams perspective.

Also PG over Butler/Leonard

Is it because he broke his leg and they think he won't play or what? He's playing like the best SF this season and is a knockdown shooter and defender.

Shit I would even go far as to say he's looked like the second best player this season.

Spurs are 1st in OPPG and DefRtg and their offense isnt even 100% yet like the warriors.

They are going to rape everyone in the playoffs.

What will be the bigger number at the end of the season : Warriors wins or 76ers losses?
>>
>>63843376
While I feel partly the same about them btfo everyone in the playoffs, I don't think their offense is that far off from their peak. Parker and Manu have got their game back and the offense is flowing just fine already with Mills and Green playing better. Whether or not Aldridge makes his shots is the only change I can see in their offense come playoff time.
