How come nobody ever talks about Curry flopping all over the ground like he got stabbed every time he shoots the ball?

What a great f**king game !!! Play-in is here to stay.
Can't believe Kerr didn't setup a play for Steph at the end of regulation.

Not Steph's fault. He balled out. He does flop a lot but bc he's small - ppl think he is weak and clumsy - so it's ok for him to flop around. In Lebron's case - be is big so he should be able to take any shot to his body and not be upset + ppl are so threatened and insecure about him having passed their GOAT - they have to try to diminish him.
Anyway - bigger question is - will Curry sign an extension this summer. I expect him to but not making playoffs in a season where he only missed handful of games and played at MVP level has to hurt him.

It's obvious he can't carry a team by himself like Lebron has done. Curry needs two other all stars to do anything.

Yup which was why I didn't think he'd make it at the beginning of the season. He needs help, hopefully Klay won't have any setbacks cause Steph obviously needs him.

Lebron James is 18 of 33 (55%) on shots to take lead in last minute of playoffs or play-in games. 3 of 4 from 3pt range.
Luckiest dude in the World is playing basketball.
lol whats with the "last minute" of a game caveat? Less than 10 seconds would qualify as a clutch game winner IMO, but not with enough time to get a possession back if you missed.
Lol what's with less than 10 seconds caveat. And Lebron has more buzzer beaters than anyone in the history of the game in the playoffs. Lol
Because with less than 10 seconds its pretty much do or die. Theres more pressure, considering a miss means a loss. Make it less than 5 seconds then, it doesn't change my point.
LeBron's greatness comes from his consistency
a his durability. He has the most buzzer beaters because he's played in almost every game in the last 18 years, and he is almost always the guy who takes the final shot.
Nobody ever said LeBron sucks. The point is hes not the greatest player people have ever witnessed if they're over age 30.

We're back at it again...
LeBron James connected on his 7th career go-ahead shot in the final 5 seconds of the 4th quarter/OT in his playoff career.
His 2 buzzer-beaters this postseason are 1 shy of MJ's career playoff total. pic.twitter.com/Uh61h9WwsT
Stat speaks for itself. More and at higher %
More, and at a higher %.....kinda like MJ's championships?

You do know they were in playoff contention before he got hurt.

Not that I think you should feed susweel but this is a terrible take. The 2018-2019 Lakers were clearly making the playoffs as a top 4 seed in the West if LBJ doesn't get hurt.
