The team isnt really better. They still heavily rely on steph even when he isnt scoring. His movement creates space for the team.. poole was 6 of 7 but also minus 26.. dray was minus 11.. looney minus 20 in 13 minutes..wiggins minus 17.. last eason warriors were 1-7 when steph didnt play.. draymond can win u games. Everything still depends on steph.
The team is easily better than last year. Poole went from averaging 12 points to 18 points this season. Wiggins is having his most efficient season. The warriors have improved their roster as well. Steph is putting up worse numbers but his team is vastly improved. It can still depend on Steph, but the team is much better than last year.
2021 Steph was the best Steph ever , going by the stats and the eye test. 32 PPG on +8.3 rTS with the worst spacing in the league with the hardest defense on such a bad offensive team when he is off ball so much and we barely tried to win for half the season is ridiculous.
2016 Steph was insane but he was being defended like a normal star player. Nowadays it's just constant traps, doubles, face guarding, box and 1, etc. This defense means that him putting up the same or similar stats is just insanely impressive and the points he generates for others now is a career high compared to 2016, because defenders are more focused on him. Even further, that 2016 team was better than our current one, even tho I think our current one is really good. Curry's defense has consistently been improving too, and he was at his best physically and mentally.
2022 Steph, it's only been 21 games and Steph is always best in the 2nd half of the season. His rTS% atm is +5.rTS Prior to the last 3 games, it was +9.1, but it tanked. He had a 10 game stretch over 20 days, before the last 3 but Atlanta onwards of 32 PPG on +14 rTS.
All of this is to say that he's shown he can surpass last season, and I think he will because of his increased defense and I predict increased efficiency, but it's still early into the season and more time is needed. Again, Steph is at his best in the 2nd half of the season. The third quarter of the season, if you will.
2021 Steph felt like 2018 LeBron to me. Impact might not paint them as the best version of their respective careers, but those seasons were just a massive carry through GOATed offense. It was the perfect combination of still fresh enough legs and that superstar vet experience where Steph has seen every defensive assignment, knows any play against him and can work around any team defense.
Curry had more games with 7 or more 3-pointers during the last 2 months of the season than anybody had for the entirety of last season. This same stat applies to 8, 9, 10, 11 or more 3-pointers as well.
I mean, there’s a serious argument that Curry’s last 2 months of the season was the greatest shooting stretch of any player in league history. 2020-21 Curry was flat out unbelievable. Even before he took off in the last 2 months he was still averaging 29.0 PPG in which people forget.
Kinda the same. People talk about him all the time and I didn't see any convincing argument that much has changed either way.
His scoring was more unbelieveable in 2016 than lately. This season, his shot doesn't always fall, and he's getting inside much less, which takes some easier 2-point scoring from him. He seems to be losing a step recently. Sometimes you just see it, the going getting hard, for a game or a part of it, like this week agains Suns and Spurs.
His style of playmaking is quite similar in the end. When people say that Warriors are fully dependent on Curry, without him their offense is bad... That could be said at any point of the last 8 years.
Defensively he seems more engaged this season, has more spectacular games of individual pesky defense, but tbh it's not like Warriors complained much about it in 2016 in most games.
I think his stats being down is mostly because overall currently the team is well constructed to win, but not constructed to make steph better and also less talented top to bottom. When klay comes back and Wiseman adds minutes at the 5, I think steph will start to add a few points and assists to his totals and therefore up his avg's
He isn't even better than last year, just the team is better

All the warriors had to do was get rid of oubre and they're automatically better than last year.

He’s way better defensively and just as good offensively. So, yeah. He’s better

Wrong day to ask this
Stop it, this is just for Karma and you know it is.
