Stephen Curry is probably on a decline in his career

[DonaldSanders]

Lol I can just tell you're rooting for his cliff.

To be fair curry and the warriors singlehandily dismantled the harden rockets era. Now they are in a rebuild

When did they dismantle the Rockets? I remember it the other way around. The Rockets destroyed the Warriors, and would have won a title if cp3 wasnt injured. Rockets literally ended the Warriors Dynasty.

Guess you missed 3 things:

1) The Rockets lost twice
2) The second time where CP3 was healthy, KD was out game 6, and the Rockets lost. Thus ending the fabled "ONE CP3 HAMMY" take.
3) The Warriors are still a relevant team with title hopes while the Rockets are basement dwellers.

Ok but the Rockets did take down the first KD iteration of the GSW. No one thought that would happen. You also had the Clippers spurs beat them too, when kawhii got injured.

Uh, what? The Rockets didn't take down the Warriors. The Warriors won. Bruh... you are so sucked into this "one cp3 hammy" fallacy it's insane.

What are you talking about: the rockets taking down forts KD warriors?

They lost to the warriors in playoffs each year the dubs had KD. So what are you talking about?

On brand. About as accurate as “First Take” usually is.

[pr0wler]

While the Rockets never did beat the Warriors + KD in a series, they certainly came much closer than anyone else did. When fully healthy, they basically steamrolled every single one of their opponents other than HOU.

Rockets actually lost 4 times in the playoffs to the warriors during their era
2015
2016
2018
2019

I love these threads. Whenever it's bumped you know the player in question either had a great game or played like a d-leaguer

[HotRocks34]

It's sad to see this.

Early 3Q, losing to the Rockets in SF, Steph's line:

6/2/6 with 3 TO on 1/9 FGA

He's cratering.

Lol I can just tell you're rooting for his cliff.

Actually, if Steph went nuts this year and cruised to the MVP I'd be very much ok with that.

I just don't want him to "back into" the MVP.

He's on the downside, but can for sure still play a lot better than some of his stinkers this season.

Again, no rooting. Just watching.

Late 3Q in tonight's Jazz game:

5/17 FGA for 13 points.

We're a long ways away from MVP Steph this season, the 2015-16 version.

[Phreak50]

Other than his 5 game injury season, Steph's 42 % fg is the worst of his career.

His 38% from 3 is similarly, also a career low.

[AussieBuck]

What do Warriors fans think? Is he playing injured? Father time? change of role/teammates affecting him etc? Or does everything seem otherwise fine and he's going to come out and have a 30 game flaming hot run at any moment?

long term curry and golden state warriors fan here -


I think I speak for dubs nation when i say curry is declining

[Tottery]

It's weird how Curry was in MVP talks earlier for playing so bananas and then dropped off with a terrible shooting percentage. I'm wondering if he wore himself out chasing that record? Shooting doesn't really go away. He might just be on a dry spell and get super hot just in time for the playoffs. That would be terrible for opposing teams lol.

[F N 11]

Not the Steph Cutry is declining thread again.

[art_tatum]

1-13 gross. But I mean he’s getting open shots just in a drought. Probably will even out with a hot streak post all star game. I expect him to be 45-46% and 40% 3s. Not that efficient by his own standards. He’s declined but just by a bit. Seen especially in his 2point fg

Either his shooting hand isn't right ( he hurt it in a few games this year as well) or something extra basketball is on his mind. It is too long for a slump imo, and i can't see him in full mvp mode to start the season just to decline from one day to the next. I incline to the later , as i see a change in his body language and attitude, he seems a little off for a while already. Just my take, don't throw rocks

He is missing stationary open shots, that is not declining, as much as some want him to

It's kind of amazing that there are adults who cannot realize that this conclusion is totally illogical.

This is like what a 10 year old would think. "Oh, the Rockets lost with an injured player one season, but the next season the Warriors won with an injured player - therefore, it's even!". The sad thing is I'd probably have to explain why this is an idiotic conclusion to some people reading this thread.

It honestly is really weird. He’s missing layups he usually is automatic to make and missing wide open 3s. His turnovers have always kinda been there but there’s something definitely off. Maybe he bulked up too much, maybe his vision is bothering him again, although that doesn’t explain how good he still shoots in warmups. I think the pursuit of the record really made him force things too much and maybe he’s still in that slump. Obviously not having Draymond puts a lot more on his shoulders with playmaking and leadership. Maybe his parents stuff is getting to him and he’s not playing with the joy he normally does. And of course maybe it’s just a decline. But I think it’s something more than that because he started off the season on fire and started slumping during the record chase. Honestly even tho some of this might be a physical decline, I just really think the issue is mental right now in some way.

Wtf who knows what is on his mind. Parents divorce? How to explane this:

3P

def - very tight 0.545
def - tight 0.432
def - open 0.335
def - wide open 0.423

open 3p shot is 30.4% of all Curry FGA. He misses open shots and makes tights shots.
