Russell Westbrook Has Completely Wrecked Stephen Curry

In retrospect, it probably wasn't a good idea for Westbrook to be laughing at Curry's defense. Curry has been underestimated his whole life. He feeds off that.

Golden State plays amazing basketball. Fun to watch. They have changed the game.

The fact of the matter is, that while Westbrook plays very hard and presents challenges for whomever guards him, he avg'ed under 40% FG % for series and 4.5 Turnovers per game.

Durant shot 42% and 28.6% from three with 3.6 Turnovers

Durant to the Wizards?

The Wizards had a bad year last year but were decent two years ago when they had Paul Pierce for a season.

With John Wall and Bradley Beal in the backcourt, the Wizards would be tough if they added a scorer like Durant.

I'd like to see Durant to the Celtics.

Durant is most certainly gone. Once he goes then Westbrook will likely leave next year; maybe to the Lakers, his hometown team.

Lakers are not THAT dumb.

The Wizards hired Scott Brooks, Durant's old coach with OKC.

Plus Durant is from the DC area and may want to finish his career at home.

That's the thinking in Washing anyway.

But staying with the Thunder looks like a good move.

That's a pretty good team there and that was a great series.

Ever heard of Kobe Bryant?

Russ is a poor sport!

I love watching those Akron Ohio kids beat up on the Cali boys. Suck it California!

I hadn't followed the NBA in a long time until Curry and the Warriors this year (I saw well over half the Bulls games on WGN in their epic season), and while Steph has a very different style, to me he is no less impressive than Jordan in his prime. He's not the go-to guy like Jordan in as many possessions as a PG, but when he's on he's probably more unstoppable than any player in history. He draws defenses away even when he's well beyond the 3-pt line, something Jordan could never do. And Thompson can get just as hot and dangerous, so despite their struggles early in the series I think the Warriors (with their amazing "role players") are really something special.

Curry showed why he's the MVP; Durant is a great player and classy guy, but Westbrook, while a good baller, has no business disrespecting Curry and was outplayed by a Curry who didn't even have that great a series by his standards, though he brought it when it really mattered, which is what great clutch players do (Robert Horry, anyone?).

And fail thread by OP (something about counting chickens comes to mind).

If as in wrecked, you mean choked. Then, yes, Westbrook absolutely wrecked Curry.

Come on now, he's not Latrell Sprewell, he didn't choke anyone.

I saw Curry for first time as a H.S. junior and what impressed me then and now is often he shots a 3 when the play is not designed to get him open to shoot a 3. He shoots 3s at a high percentage in iso one-on-one situations, which is hard to do...it is hard to hit a 3 with a hand in your face. I can't take anything away from Reggie Miller and Ray Allen for example, but they shot most of their 3s off of screens and designed plays.

Westbrook: "Curry scored a lot on our bigs. He did a good job of making some tough shots over our bigs.

Way to take ownership, Russell!

Tells you everything you need to know about Westbrook. He will always be a super talented, tremendously passionate player who is toxic to any organization dumb enough to want him.

It gets worse. Rumor is Durant to the DUBS! They'll exceed 73 wins next year if true.

I agree with the majority of what you wrote, but not this at all-

Jordan was more unstoppable certainly. LeBron is more unstoppable when "he is on" (he gets cold sometimes. But last series??? He shot something like 64% from the field) Curry is very stoppable going to the hole. LeBron is a better all around player. I am not sure who I want in the Finals, but I wouldn't bet against CLE/LeBron.

I am glad GS won especially after they and Curry were being mocked by the "experts" on here.

No offense but GS and Curry were NOT being mocked by any experts here. Indeed, they were being DEFENDED by the experts here. The only folks mocking were ignorami like the OP.
