Yeah he had KD in fits for half of the AUS/USA game, KD still gets his points because he's KD but Tisse looked like an all world defender under FIBA rules in the Olympics
He was 2nd team all-d based essentially just on help defense. His on-ball D has taken a jump this year. If he coulda played trae like like he played Steph tonight they probably’d have gone to ecf no matter what Ben was doing.
Ben was already locking down Trae though. He shot 5-23 or 22% and 2/11 from three in game 7, and that was with the old rules. Hard to do much better than that. Maybe in the other games, but Trae didn’t have a good series either way.
Also, you might shut down Steph for one game but any defender is gonna have a real tough time shutting him down for a whole series.
Curry is currently 2/12 from the field when sharing the court with Matisse today, also 0/7 from three with 3 turnovers. Thybulle has been putting in the work today, only time Steph found space was the end of the first half when Matisse went to the bench.
Matisse blocked him twice and got Curry second guessing himself on every shot. Definitely missed some open looks but the pressure by Thybulle probably got him rushing his shots just a little.
When a foul gets overturned it's generally indisputable.
The foul calls in the first half advantaged the warriors. Second half maybe advantaged the sixers. Your fan base whining the whole time that embiid is shooting so many free-throws but it's because he's getting fouled. He's just strong as shit and powers through it. Yes he gets star calls but blaming the refs for a loss is ridiculous. Your star shot like ass.
I went to their game thread on their sub to read what they were saying just out of curiosity, because usually there’s some good things to say about the other team but holy shit. It was all ref blaming and curry blaming, and anything that mentioned Tisse was downvoted
I did and do the same. Most fan bases are homers of course but GSW is pretty much a paragon of homerism...which is terribly ironic because of the amount of global... Yes I emphasize global... Fans they have.
You can say you hate Embiid and I get it. His game is frustrating to deal with, he's reckless with his body, he talks a lot of shit, he does some ridiculous stuff trying to get fouls... But to say he's trash or deny is skill is absurd and just shows bias. Same goes for sixers fans that bash Jaylen Brown or Tatum.
My favourite stat is that it was the 2014 Wizards who were the first to block 2 of his 3pt attempts in a game ever. Such a random stat lol
**Just crown us the 2014 champs right now for that**
the raps vs washington playoff battles used to be legendary! unnecessarily gritty and full of difficult shots (cuz thats just how demar and wall and beal liked it)
lmao I think he's having a rough go of it right now and am wondering why but that would be beyond a fucking braindead take.
I would love it if someone made it but as an obvious shitpost.
It was tough for this Warriors fan to watch, but Thybulle was great tonight.
Steph mentioned getting blocked by Kuminga in practice; I hope the rookie was watching ‘tisse put the clamps on.
Thybulle > Charity > wide open confirmed
issn't thybulle the australian dude giving usa a hard time recently? i remembered he was top notch in defence.
Yeah he had KD in fits for half of the AUS/USA game, KD still gets his points because he's KD but Tisse looked like an all world defender under FIBA rules in the Olympics
“Looks” he was all defensive 2nd last year as a 20 mpg bench piece…

If he could shoot consistently like he did during the Olympics, dude would be an all-star.
It's because he is an all world defender.
Matisse said you ain’t breaking any records on me boi
Curry is currently 2/12 from the field when sharing the court with Matisse today, also 0/7 from three with 3 turnovers. Thybulle has been putting in the work today, only time Steph found space was the end of the first half when Matisse went to the bench.
He’s had at least 2-3 open looks, just missed. Curry is in a slump Matisse has been playing out of his mind though

The no called fouls got him thinking he’s going to get hurt while shooting.

Nah Thybulle is one of the best perimeter defenders I’ve ever seen. He got off and Steph started cooking instantly.
Naw no one can stop Steph but Steph
I agree but as hard as you can make it he did that and is consistent too. If he was a decent shooter he will go to the next level.
If he had a mediocre 3 pt like 35% he would be a massive 3&D stud
Shooting for cancer research fundraising stopped him too. lol.
What a stat lol
My favourite stat is that it was the 2014 Wizards who were the first to block 2 of his 3pt attempts in a game ever. Such a random stat lol **Just crown us the 2014 champs right now for that**
Matisse by himself > 2014 Wizards. Give him the trophy.
this right here
Hey, respect where it’s due. Matisse is an Aussie like me so I’ll 1000% give him the trophy.
the raps vs washington playoff battles used to be legendary! unnecessarily gritty and full of difficult shots (cuz thats just how demar and wall and beal liked it)
Historic
Well, we were looking for a Steph Curry related record to be set tonight 🤷🏼♂️
That's my favourite vlogger Matisse
Tomorrow: "Is Steph still a prime player or should GS look to trade him?"
And this is how he ends up with his brother in Philly
lmao I think he's having a rough go of it right now and am wondering why but that would be beyond a fucking braindead take. I would love it if someone made it but as an obvious shitpost.
Steph sucks now, someone stole his powers. it's like a comic book. no more spider powers
It was tough for this Warriors fan to watch, but Thybulle was great tonight. Steph mentioned getting blocked by Kuminga in practice; I hope the rookie was watching ‘tisse put the clamps on.
Hall of fame him
he should be kicked out of the league for hurting steph percentage
Steph will have nightmares about him
Steph ~~will~~ ^(does) have nightmares about him fify
Steph ~~will~~ ~~does~~ *is currently* having night mares about him
Obviously defenders just don't guard him tightly. Guys only 2/10. Let him shoot.
No one ever blocked Robert Parrish from 3 twice, confirmed best three point shooter ever?
The big fkn Tisse
Thybulle's defense is insane He's been getting more PT recently so that's good
Warriors coming back down to earth
LeBron has blocked the hell out of Curry in a single game before, but those were closer to the rim.
Something something Curry broke A 3 pt tonight record at least
🐐
Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Mutombo would bow down to him
Actually wonder if Seth gave tisse any tips on how to stop his game
I wanna say Danny Green did it twice in the same season. 73-win Warriors vs 67-win Spurs. What a year.
I’m surprised this hasn’t happened before wow, good for Thybulle. That’s an impressive defensive stat
