curry has been a 3 pt shooter only since he came back. he doesnt have quickness or explosiveness, hes not running the offense, hes not making plays off the dribble, and hes even worse than usual on defense. hes nowhere near fine.

This

But he's still good enough to put up decent numbers despite all of this, but he's nowhere near 100% Steph, that seems obvious IMO.

He's contradicted every point of this sentence in the first quarter, FWIW.

My favorite thing is experts talking about GS' defense regularly and saying how we don't talk about GS' defense regularly.

Very winnable game for the Pels as long as they can keep shooting 67% from 3 while GSW shoots 20%.....

There's something weird about your best player(top 5 guy in the league) snagging a rebound, kicking it ahead because he can't dribble well, and the guy he gave it to(a nobody) instantly launching a 3 when he gets to the 3 point line.

How valuable can AD be when plays like that happen?

Don't you want to have you best player be maximized as often as humanly possible?

He made 1 sweet move that was not made at full speed and otherwise played the 1st quarter in slow motion, I didn't see 1 explosive move or cut from him that quarter.

Even if I concede that one(which I wouldn't) it was 1 in an entire quarter of him moving in slow motion.

No I'm not.

I'm saying I don't think what he did is a big deal.

Was it a good 3 point shooter? An open shot?

Not sure where you're going with this one.

Fools are lining up to ridicule AD because they haven't been able to for a while.

Why?

How many top players can get a rebound and then KEEP the ball?

Lebron
Chris
Steph
KD
James
Giannis

Plenty more.


Can you imagine Lebron getting a rebound and passing it out and some scrub just launching a 3 out of nowhere?

It's very important for the Pelicans to play the game for 48 minutes.

I mean, it was ok..? At best?

And AD had no say in that possession.

I was just questioning what value is.

AD is limited in what he can do for an offense.

There are few things more aesthetically pleasing than his jumper when it's on.
