Well one torrid shooting game brought both of them to around 40% from 3.
Hope they keep it going. Maybe not this hot but getting up over 40%, approaching the mid 40s for the rest of the playoffs would be great.

his threes are having better arc in this game. The first 2 games his threes were flat and it ended up with more misses

Re: New theory on why Steph is slightly off
Other notable thing is that Curry is showing some of the explosive pull-up moves which haven't been seen in awhile.
One was a pull up 3 against Aminu where he did a behind the back dribble with his left hand and then kind of sidestepped and stepped back as the ball transferred to his right hand and he snappped off the shot in rapid succession.
But he hit some other pull ups during this series including the 3 in the closing minutes of game 3 to seal the game.
They didn't have him running off the ball as much, seemed like he took every opportunity for pull-ups in transition that he could, as well as a couple of aggressive drives to the hole.

14-points in the first half, team down 20. One of the 3 was off a steal but he's having a hard time getting looks off the half court offense. Spurs have Simmons on him or sometimes Mills, who's not some dominant defender.
Game seems to get less effective the deeper into the playoffs.

Naw, don't think its that. Steph really hasn't forced too many three's, which is going, got fouled on another, plus guys ain't making open looks right now. I'm actually not worried about Steph and KD, it's Klay and Draymond.

Re: New theory on why Steph is slightly off
that 19 point 3rd quarter seemed pretty effective

Hope he continues to prove me wrong. I'm still wary if the Spurs are able to dictate pace, make it a half court battle.
Getting a lot of turnovers in the 3rd quarter helped get a lot of looks off transition.
But can you always count on that, for a team this deep in the playoffs to keep turning it over and giving up good transition looks?
