OT: Anyone watching the OKC/GS game.

[skysdad]

It's in O.T. Durant has fouled out and Curry is going nuts with the three's. Could go into double O.T. Singler is in the game at crunch time. Oh my goodness Curry just hit a from about feet with .06 remaining. GS with the win. Curry had 12 3's tying the N.B.A. record. 46 points. He's amazing and great no matter what Oscar Robertson thinks. I gotta go to bed. 2 hours past my bedtime OFC.

Curry is so clutch. Its amazing how he wasn't recruited to any big time colleges, and even his draft recap said he wouldn't amount to much of anything. Said he couldn't handle the ball and wasn't a player to turn a franchise around. Hes unbelievable

Sky I watched the 4th Q and the OT. My biggest take on the game I can say is that Curry is on a plateau rarely seen by us unworthy humans. There has never been anyone that can shoot like him from three point range.

 

[smashmouth5]

It was unreal.

 

[Dad2ze]

That was a wild and crazy finish. I watched the 3 & 4 quarters. Curry is the most clutch player I've seen Ina long time. Kid has ice in his veins. Why they didn't stick someone in his face in the last 8 seconds, knowing he can shoot that far out, I'll never understand.

One of the best regular-season NBA games I've seen...in a....well forever. Wow. What a game.

I just heard about it this morning. Wow. Tonight being the Oscars, I must say that it's a lot easier to recognize greatness in its time, as it's happening, with sports than it is w/ movies and the arts. I think it's b/c there are stats that boil down to math and formulas instead of votes on what is "best."( I mean, The English Patient beat Fargo and Crash beat Brokeback Mountain for best picture in their respective years. Are you kidding me?)

Anyhoo, I'm already firmly in the camp that Lebron has surpassed Larry legend as the greatest small forward of all-time, hands-down, and w/ an even smaller sample size, I think it's really awesome that we know we're witnessing history w/ Curry. And w/ the exception of Duke guys (and through Seth he's sort of like a Duke in-law anyway), who is more worth rooting for than a scrawny, baby-faced guy who no one wanted coming out of high school? I hope he doesn't fall victim to what Tom Brady has: having his success lead to our forgetting what an underdog story he really is.

no matter what Oscar Robertson thinks

I must have missed that. Has Big O made a big Oops wrt his opinion on Steph?

 

[skysdad]

The only negative about Curry is he's holding back the potential of Harrison "The Black Falcon" Barnes. Barnes is a 20 plus scorer on another team . How can he become a top 50 NBA players of all time when you have Curry chucking up 3's all the time. May I suggest this. A trade with Barnes and James Michael McAdoo going to the Charlotte Tar Heels uh I mean the Hornets for Kidd- Gilchrist and Spencer Hawes. Those Heel fans in N.C. would go bananas to have those two guys in the house. OFC

In all fairness Oscar would be just as good today as he was back in the 60's because he would be bigger, stronger and faster but Curry would be just as good then also. You just can't do anything about a guy who's filling it up from 30 plus feet game after game. OFC

Thanks for that. I choked on my food thanks to you!!!

[QUOTE="Dattier,

Yep, he's a Duke in-law, almost like one of ours.

 

[crazyduke3]

It's literally shocking how good Steph is. The fear and attention he commands is extrodinary. He's easily the most talented athlete in pro sports or at least the most dominant.

 

[HuffyJB]

I don't watch a ton of NBA before the playoffs (and that is not because I am some purist or elitist, it is just as a high school coach and a giant Duke fan, there isn't much room left in the basketball schedule). But this one got my attention and I watched the second half and OT. Curry is literally doing things that have never been done. During that game he tied the single game three record, and broke his own season 3 pt. record with 20+ games left! It is just unbelievable.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

I am so glad someone posted about this game. It was such a surreal experience. Curry is absolutely on another level. You know when guys like Kobe or Lebron get hot, they talk about being in the zone and the rim feeling really big, and everything they throw up seems to go in. It usually only lasts a quarter or a half.

Watching Curry is the same thing, except its all the time, every game. And it doesn't feel like he "got hot", it just feels like this is what he does.

I don't think there has been a more fascinating person to watch in any sport since Jordan.
