GAME #1: Cleveland Cavaliers 104 - Toronto Raptors 116 (1-0)

[The Great One]

Been saying this for awhile

[Lowe]: “You hear it from rival executives here and there: ‘Has Curry become underrated?’ I think there is truth to that, as absurd as it sounds. Curry is closer to LeBron than to the jumble of guys below Durant with whom he is often lumped.“

Been sayin for a while that he's the 2nd best player in the game.

3 years ago, the debate was, LeBron or Curry? who's the best player in the world? NOTHING has changed. His stats are down the last 2 years because they now have the piece of shit Durant on their team - so we RARELY see vintage Steph anymore. Another reason to hate POS Durant.

Delon Wright still questionable. Just did shooting today.

Yep Durant killed his reputation, the NBA playoffs, and the most exciting player I've seen in my lifetime. In one move.

Curry's impact on the game isn't always obvious, especially because they have so many terrific players there, but his ability to place in space and shoot from anywhere distorts the game. You can make an argument that very few PGs have ever been able to do that. He's probably top-5 all time at his position.

As for where he stands, I don't think he's "underrated". I would guess most people view it as Lebron and then Curry, followed by Harden and Leonard and then some ordering of Durant, Westbrook, Davis, Giannis..... I'm not sure you can be underrated if you're generally considered better than anyone but Lebron.

I don't think that's where most people have him anymore though. Hes lumped in the 3 to 7 range that zach lowe describes.

See for yourself, RR did it a couple months ago https://forums.raptorsrepublic.com/s...-in-the-NBA%94

Some guys didn't even put him in their top 5! C troop thinks he sucks lol. Just me and t rex holdin it down

Presumably Curry was also involved in recruiting Durant to GSW, so it's partially his own damn fault.

Philly still turns the ball over A LOT

That first WeTheNorth ad still gives me chills. This not so much.

Aside from a single 3, every 76er basket has been on the paint - missing 8 shots outside the paint.

[The Great One]

Tatum is going to be a beast in this league.

Ugly brick fest. Opening night jitters.

Time will tell, but Colangelo might have screwed the Sixers franchise for years with that deal. Tatum AND a 1st for Fultz. sheesh. Imagine Tatum, Embiid and Simmons. Thanks, BC.
