    You don't even try to close out. You give up.

    When you are Bogut and you see Curry with the ball, you don't battle for an offensive rebound. You just casually jog back before Curry even sets his feet.

    This is amazing to me. Everyone knew it was going in. Bogut running back on defense is priceless.

    Greatest shooter I've ever seen.

    That's flat out hilarious how Bogut just turns around and starts running back because he KNOWS it's gonna splash in. hahaha

    After this season, there's enough proof to ink Curry as the greatest shooter ever.

    LOL

    On a serious note ,this is why opponents have no chance against the Warriors ... not only Dubs are a great team but opponents don't even try adjusting their defensive principles against them .

    Going for a rebound when you are guarding Curry ... Let's say you better get it

    Even Ray Allen wasn't as deadly as Curry.

    I have to admit, he seems to just make every shot. Not just jumpshots but also some very tough layups high off the glass. He is in his best moment right now and you sense that confidence in everything he does. He is so frickin efficient, never seems to have an off-night.

    Very impressive.

    I gotta admit, i'm a little perplexed by Curry.

    I don't understand how he's this good. He doesn't have LaBronz physical attributes, as far as I know, he's not more of a gym rat than the other great players like Kobe. I can't spot any one aspect of how he plays that would allow him to be this good.

    It's like he's playing in cheat mode and I don't understand why he's able to do the things he's doing.

    Yeah, what's most impressive about Curry is he does it all with skill. How good he is all due to skill not physical gifts, relatively speaking. Lebron is effective but its due to his size, speed, and athleticism mostly. Kobe is a combination of both - immensely skilled but also physically gifted in his prime.

    Curry's effectiveness I think stems from a few factors. He's the greatest shooter in NBA history. Combine that with his maybe best in the nba ball handling, and a system that GS plays, with the players surrounding him and its a perfect storm.

    The amazing part is Curry can do it off the dribble... I've seen shooters but they were either catch and shoot or needed a phalanx of screens to get their shot off. Great touch...same perfect mechanics every time and most of all...confidence.

    Yeah Curry is terrific. That's why I wanna get Luke back to L.A. so he can install that system and offensive scheme. Think about how deadly D'Angelo can be. No he's not as good a shooter as Steph, but nobody is. It's clear though his shooting is getting better with more and more playing time. Kid is starting to put up big time numbers with no real system at all just imagine how it would be if we had one in place. Much like Steph has been able to show case he can create off the dribble. Just having a little trouble finishing, but that'll come with more added strength and just getting more adjusted to the paint game in the NBA.

    Anyone know how long Luke's current contract is? I'd love to have him back in LA if any part of what the warriors are doing is because of him.

    I'm pretty sure if he wanted to pursue a head coaching job somewhere else GS would let him out of whatever contract situation he was in, much like Alvin Gentry was.
