Steph Curry
It's not the stats tbh. You have to see how they developed. He's been hero balling, and Livingston just used him like a rag.
lol Hero Curry turned it over again in the hero ball moment.
lol hero baller shot a two when he needed a 3.

curry's assist numbers are still nice but it doesn't mean he's trying to get teammates involved imho. He's a scoring-first PG who doesn't even start to look for teammates until he's facing doubt team (DMC, 2014), and his teammates who're also clutch shooters will make the ball fall and help him pad up his assists, but it's not like he's earning those assists the Jason Kidd way tbh.
kid is going turnover crazy. needs to calm down and let iggy take pressure off him and make the defense have to account for him too
Interesting note: Stephen Curry is shooting almost the exact same percentage from 3 as Danny Green, at just under 39%.
Well I got banned from RealGM for 'trolling'. One of the GSW-homer mods apparently couldn't take it anymore seeing how I keep bashing Curry for being a brick artist, and the fact that he'll never win a championship playing that way![]()
The team's offensive scheme is in a state flux right now. David Lee is getting the lion's share of the points on many nights, but Steph is still jacking up crazy shots on the regular. He's got a undeserved swagger.. so what if he hit the most 3 pointers in the RS? Danny Green hit the most in the Finals and he's trade fodder imo. Curry has been struggling lately from 3. He could be returning to the mean or even worse if he's got a shooting form problem.
There's no reason one person should take 13 shots from 3, especially if he's missing most of them. I can see it if he hits 4 in a row and misses the 5th, hits 6, 7 and 8, then tries a few times to get another but 4-10 even is too many 3pt attempts (and that's normally more accurate since a lot of these come from end of quarter heaves).
Still, Curry had only 2 turnovers, one of them crucial, but that's an improvement. They need to work on moving the ball. If he can keep his turnovers down and the team can move the ball to the open shooter, I like their chances.
Steph is ranked 47th in the league in 3pt% but 1st in 3pt attempts. That's a problem. Steph is a better shooter than that, so his shot selection is poor, and there's a reason for that: Curry would be better suited at the 2 (though he's small) where he doesn't have to run the point. That's why Klay's shooting % is so much higher, he gets better looks. Steph needs to accept the difference between being open and having a good look.
i can't help but noticed the previous box score was ignored. cherry picking
They lost. If you need the box score to know Curry takes ill advised shots, you're not really interested in the truth.
It's funny, since you pretty much just post box scores and highlight the numbers you dislike. Then you criticize me for needing box scores![]()
I've already made my case, I'm providing evidence that box score people like you understand. As the season unfolds, have I been proven more right or more wrong?
Two facts you need to accept:
1. Curry takes the most 3's of anyone in the NBA
2. Curry is 47th in 3pt %
Shooting contested 28' 3s at a rate higher than anyone in the NBA and with 47th place results is the very definition of a chucker. It's like a batter who swings at every pitch, and he has the most strikeouts but the most homers as well. His on base percentage is very low, and he's hurting his team but he's boosting his individual HR numbers. Curry is boosting his PPG, but he's not helping the team by shooting 3s at that clip, and his % for as good of a shooter as he is, is indicative of poor shot selection and still deciding he's a better option at 28' than someone else at 18 or even at the rim.
Blame that on the coach, I have to an extent, but the PG is the decision maker on the floor, and it's not even volume of shots tbh but shot selection. If he was getting to the rim and took 25 a game, even if he missed a bunch of them, those are good shots to take. Chuckers don't seem have that "good shot to take" dialed in and their window is wide open.

7 turnover game (even if he had 37pts and 11 assists) and they lost that game.
He took 10 3 point shots. He hit six, however he took 9 the next night and hit only 2. That's because he will continue chucking them up regardless of whether or not they are open. Also, he gets to the line at least once per game on a foul behind the 3pt line, so that shot attempt isn't counted.
