You guys know you are just getting Steph mad? Ask Dame how that went
The last thing you wanna do is make Steph see this video. Because you know…when he gets motivated….nobody can stop him. We've seen guys defend him really well in the past and Steph learned them a few games after and they never recovered. Steph's IQ is his greatest threat. All he needs to do is learn you. And this video helps.
Curry will never have 3 points again. I think that was a career low… Btw I think Kuminga needs to play in this matchup.
Curry has embarrassed some of the league's best defenders in his career.
Kuminga needs to start in this Series..and let the offense flow thru him. If Amen going to be on Steph then there has to be a mismatch with whoever guarding Kuminga. LET HIM GO HARD IN DA PAINT!!!!!
Steph is a different breed during the playoffs. Nice try espn
The NBA is so Biased. We know who they favor to win the series
Curry is goi g to destroy Thompson !!!!!
This whole series comes down to if they are allowed to hug and hold steph curry all night again… if youre allowed to just hug their best player all night and him get no calls.. its an easy game for the rockets
Brian Windhorst is a LeBron glazing analyst, so of course he always won’t give Steph his credit, Steph going to turn up
Rockets in 6
More on the Rockets. Why was this cut short?
How much do these people get paid to talk about this? lol 😂
The way yall talking about him and what he did in that one game bro, he better make curry score less than 10 points in every game this series bro, a lot of talking.
rockets bring out the brooms
you mean if the refs dont call fouls when his hands are all over?
I want JK and JB in together, rim pressure and the mid game are good ways to break the defence on Steph.
PG Steph
SG Jimmy
SF Kuminga
PF Draymond
C Post
6 Podz
7 Moody
8 Hield
9 GP
10 Looney
Rockets will win this one. Sengun and Thompson will be the guys.
Rockets in 4
Amen is lucky steph is injured. All this talk will def bring out the petty king
Playoffs is a different beast. Kerr is so good in making adjustments on the fly and counters.
I hope Kerr doesn’t make all effort for GSW team to free Curry.I would prefer others in GSW to step up and let curry make others free due to his gravity.
Amen who?
I never seen a player get more hype for averaging 14/8 😅 now before you guys tell me what a great defender he is I get that, but he still has to improve a lot in order to become a legit All Star, let alone Superstar caliber player
And amen going to know who curry is
Haslem talking like he was him
It's not just Amen Thompson it's also Tari Eason as well. Those 2 in tandem, woof, they cover a ton of defense. Also having watched the Warriors games against the Rockets the real threat is Sengun; they have no answer, no counter, no way to stop him.
Overhype for ths garbage rookie its just a 1 game and you say amen is good defender 😅
Bro talking like they weren't double teaming Steph the whole game ⏸️
We have to do this every year? Every year there is a new Steph stopper, Every year, they get exposed. You guys have the funniest Steph takes
DPOY is such a weird award because Jimmy was cooking marcus smart when he won it but amen/dyson daniels probably won't win it this year and hes like much obviously a better defender than him.
Steph has dropped 29 and 27 against Houston this season at their arena! People are getting caught up in recency bias because of one game two weeks ago. They're also forgetting Steph had just played three great games on the bounce against the Lakers, Grizzlies and Denver before facing the Rockets, it was just an off night.
Amen is good young defender but he's not better than any other wing that has tried and failed to stop Steph over the years.
His brother better
X factor is Jabari imo
If you are putting your hopes on Kuminga, you have a problem!
Warriors getting all the calls in the playoffs is a problem, green allowed to be all over folks and complain all 4 qtrs. Rockets getting overlooked by too many folks
another 3 pts game for curry?
amen thompson on steph curry!? what an exciting matchup this would be..so excited😤
Amen will force Stephanie to retirement. Poor guy.
Y'all keep forgetting who Chef Curry is
Upset watch
Refs are going control this series
The real dpoy but they wanna give it to draymond so bad, rockets might win if they lock up
Imagine him in the 90s with hand checking and going against guards with no moves
