Curry...my favorite player of all time...is not very clutch

[ILOVEIT]

Yeah, not clutch. And no foul on the last shot even though he got trucked.

Watch on YouTube

Two to make 1? He had an open shot which he missed then miraculously got it back and made the second. Amazing shot! Warriors are lucky to have one of the best players in NBA history. But if Speights doesn't run that down and give him a second shot....Warriors lose that game.

When Curry gets triple teamed and misses a shot he's a choker that can't pass or shake the defense. When LeBron misses a step back three in single coverage it was "a good look that he'll knock down next time."

Curry's shots just look bad because of the degree of difficulty.

Like i've always said.... if the games on the line, get the ball into the hands of Flip Murray or Travis Outlaw.

This is one of the most inaccurate edgy pet narratives I've ever seen. He can't possibly hold onto this much longer?

Don't be sitting on David Lee...

LOL...so

I saw on Youtube title "Curry makes 3 point shot to win the game". So I thought..."Nice...I'm going to come on and update the thread with an example of his clutch shooting".

NOTE: When I can't see the game live on television I watch the highlights on Youtube by quarter.

Ahem....then I see he missed the first attempt at game winner....then got it back and made the second. So I thought...damn...sort of not clutch and Warriors lose if they don't get that rebound. But okay. Then I checked his last 5 possessions

Curry miss floating layup
Curry miss 3 point shot
Curry bad pass - turnover
Curry miss 3 point shot (the first attempt at a go ahead shot to win or lose the game).
Looney get's rebound, and Curry sinks that shot.
CREDIT that he hit the last two FT to ice the game.

Anyway...what I had hoped would be a PLUS example of clutchness really showed a sloppy messy attempt of Curry to close out the game and hit the winning shot (first).

I guess my underlying worry is that Warriors are going to be in the playin....against Lakers or other team...and this weird inability to calmly ice the game is going to give us all a crappy ending to the season.

If, on the other hand, Curry comes up big and is clutch against the Lakers (doesn't have to win...just has to come up big and not "blow it down the stretch"), then I be the first to eat my words.

Not holding onto anything....I just don't like it when fans refused to look at the performance honestly. The topic isn't 'how amazing Curry is' (which he is). It's is he an above average clutch performer in the closing possessions of games. I don't think he is.

This isn't an opinion thing. You're just flat out wrong by any measure.

If you want clutch, look at WCF vs the Blazers. I think the Warriors led the entire series for 10-15% of the time, yet they won 4-0. The last 5 minutes of each game is the example of how to run a perfect offense. That second Pels game and a few other games Curry has been mediocre or poor in the 4th, but it makes up for the many many other positive examples.

Steph in 15-16 was something else.

Imagine a world a warriors fan still not having faith in Curry in 2021. The world is truly a different place

Those are ridiculously impressive stats. .457% from 3 during crunch time on 14/36 attempts? SGA very impressive as well...he's racking up FT at an astounding rate.
