And the Warriors have young dudes too...

Packing a bowl in Klay's honor

 

[Cusefan0307]

Golden State‘s bench is loaded and their owners spend more than anyone. Have to think they have a great shot again next year.

 

[MikeSU02]

Andrew Wiggins was just the second best player on a title team.

I never, ever thought I would write that.

Wiseman and Kuminga should be better, and hopefully healthy, next year

HOLY CANNOLI

HOLY CANNOLI

He must have gotten that from his mom’s side of the family

 

[Melancer46]

Yeah, it could

Literally the entire Warriors offense revolves around Steph and he was insanely good in this series. 63% TS% compared to 51% for Wiggins while scoring a ton more points and creating even more for his teammates like Wiggins. Wiggins stepped up but in no way was he even in the same stratosphere of Steph.

 

[djcon57]

Welp...officially...Top 10 for Steph for my list.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

What could Iguodala possibly have to say to Tatum? Two completely opposite players.

One is a multiple champion. Perhaps some words of encouragement

Thank you.
How many of Wiggins’ points in his big game 5 were result of them doubling Steph? Half?

Wide open 3s this game. Steph.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Yup, strong supporting cast now to complement the big 3 as they age more

Curry is at the top all time in terms of hockey assists. Has to be. So many passes that lead to 4 on 3 because he gets enormous hedges or doubles so far from the hoop.

If you want to completely ignore defense, sure.

Rebounding too.

Not only that...He was being face guarded at the logo.

Kinda opens up the lane. A little.

Yeah, one is a tough, gritty competitor. The other went to Duke.

 

[Melancer46]

Steph was good in both of those areas too. Not Wiggins good but he would have had to be a complete liability in those areas for Wiggins to be in the conversation.

Yep, Steph had solid defensive analytics throughout the playoffs

 

[samspann1]

Yep, Steph had solid defensive analytics throughout the playoffs

Even against Memphis?

 

[goofnoff]

Why did the Celts run their offense through Tatum instead of Horford and then White or Brown? Seems like every time Horford touched the ball in the playoffs something good happened for the Celts.

 

[Cuse4455]

Memphis vs Warriors in next years playoffs is be gonna must watch!

 

[goofnoff]

This is going to get torched, but I think there are at least a half dozen teams with more talent than Golden State. Curry is so damn good he elevated that team to another level.
