Can't believe I have to watch Bogut for 4-7 games. Guy looks like a hobo and probably plays like one would as well.

Seriously? Hell Joe Dumars even said that him and Isiah weren't as good. They're averaging 46 PPG and 11 APG, all that while having a pretty deep bench. I don't think it's crazy to say the 2015 Warriors are one of the best teams of all time and that's who the Cavs gotta take down. 65 wins, 110 PPG and the #1 rated D in the league. Luckily Cleveland has probably the best player ever on their sideHighRoller74;1731463 wrote:No. Just, No.

Its definitely not crazy to have them near the top backcourts of all time.
I would have a problem with it, because I would rather both players be regarded as great. Curry is better than great, he is an all time great. But Klay is just a really good player.
Dumars and Isaiah were both great (with Isaiah being all time)
Frazier and Monroe
Porter and Clyde
etc
Curry is better than all of them, save maybe Isaiah. But, Klay is worse than all of the others...

Don't forget Parker/Ginobili. And you have the same stance as I do. Curry is great, Klay is just very good. Give them a couple a years, and lets see where they rank.Laley23;1731499 wrote:Its definitely not crazy to have them near the top backcourts of all time.

If the Warriors win the championship, maybe we can have that discussion.

Oh, plenty more. Argument can be made they arent the greatest GSW backcourt ever with Run-TMC (pick any combo of the 3 you want) out there...HighRoller74;1731500 wrote:Don't forget Parker/Ginobili.

They had 67 wins. I personally would like to see them string together multiple championships (they haven't even won one) before considering them as one of the best.Classyposter58;1731496 wrote:Seriously?

You make no sense. I said they might be one of the best back courts of all time to which you think I'm crazy for, and now you say eh they might beHighRoller74;1731500 wrote:Don't forget Parker/Ginobili.

I think Curry and Thompson is the second best back court in history; behind Lebron James and Kyrie Irving.

6th would be LeBron James and Dru Joyce.

I need to point out that LeBron/Wade in their first year with Miami were far superior to LeBron/Kyrie this year. Check the numbers.
LeBron James and Larry Hughes deserve some love.

One thing I'd love to see is Lebron James guarding Curry. I think he can hold him to less than 10 points per game because I don't think Curry can shoot over him.

Creates mismatches elsewhere, but if I'm Cleveland, I'd force Barnes, Green, Iguodala and Bogut to win it offensively.sleeper;1731564 wrote:One thing I'd love to see is Lebron James guarding Curry.

That's exactly my point. I think stopping Curry is priority #1 and I believe he can be stopped. That's the matchup I'm looking forward to the most; Curry vs. Shumpert/Lebron.Azubuike24;1731565 wrote:Creates mismatches elsewhere, but if I'm Cleveland, I'd force Barnes, Green, Iguodala and Bogut to win it offensively.
