Curry last second shots in playoffs

[Medbrat]

The Warriors wouldn't be in these games if Steph hadn't played well.

His struggles with shooting late game is because, despite him being the GOAT shooter, he's still a smaller guard and gets forced into shooting really difficult long range bombs. Which he can make, but he hasn't in these situations.

In this game he should've drove past AD for either a layup, a kickout or FT's.

He tried for like 12 seconds. It was that "can't get past injured Love" fiasco once again...

50 seconds is actually a weird qualifier IMO. I wonder if it's cherry picked and Curry is like 6-20 inside of 1 minute or something. That's still not great, but not nearly as insulting.

2 possessions with rounding up?

draymond was already inside for rebounding... it is crowded inside... his two jumpers were fine... just could not make it... seriously, i dont remeber when was the last time Steph hit a dagger... might be a long long time ago

curry is the greatest shooter this game has ever seen and lebron is the most clutch player this game has ever seen.

Jesus Christ that is a wild stat. Not the LeBron part, we all know he is insanely clutch, but I figured Curry had at least one game winner in the playoffs

Maybe this is how preconception works. If you win a lot people will start assuming things, and vice versa.

Can't believe somebody is crapping on Steph Curry, who had a legendary performance.

I'm a Laker fan and I'm happy, but the Warriors are a great, great team, with the best offensive player ever.

It was a fantastic game, with an surprise hero in Lonnie Walker, who had a better 4th quarter than many AT Greats.

Why we can't enjoy the games and the players without crapping too much every time on great players ?

Agreed! Steph didn't have a great shooting night, but man the shot quality he generated for his teammates tonight was insane. I'd love to see stat on that... how many wide open layups and dunks did the Warriors get thanks to Curry?

The Lakers are ahead in this series because they are a deeper team, those trades they made have made them very strong. Steph certainly didn't have a Lonnie Walker to help out tonight, Pelinka has built a stronger overall team.

Steph had a triple double including 14 assists on 2 TO, 3 Steals. Great game, Lakers were just better as a team tonight.

He cherrypicked two things: 1) 50 seconds as you said and 2) shots to take the lead.

If you include shots to tie (keeping the 50 second qualifier) Curry is 4-20 (20%).

If you include shots to tie and extend it to 60 second qualifier, Curry is 6-23 (26%).

And if you include shots to tie and extend it to 120 second qualifier, Curry is 11-40 (28%).

So the numbers are horrible in all instances but have been manipulated to make them look as bad as possible.

What's quite interesting though is that LeBron and Curry have awfully similar 'clutch' stats in the regular season. Only in the playoffs is there a gap and obviously it is a massive one.

For all time great scoring guards is he one of the worst with last second shots? He has had moments in the regular season obv, but I’m unimpressed with what he’s done in the playoffs.

Not just today, but his overall body of work in the playoffs. His inability to get to the ft line at will combined with some questionable decision making are the main contributing factors imo when it comes to his last second shot making ability in the playoffs.

This is all off eye test.

EDIT - not to mention the timeout blunder vs SAC. And todays non timeout with the ball. Not taking k love to the basket. Makes you think the nerves get to him when you look at these decisions combined with the numbers someone posted below 0-12.

They have four titles. So, who cares.

Yes the warriors do. But this is a curry thread who by the way just had one FMVP on those teams. Further if he hit some of those shots they’d have 5 titles minimum.

Silly take

Lebron is 17-38 when trailing by 3 in the last 60 sec… but like always cherry picked stats.

Shots to take the lead are more impressive than shots down 3 though. Yours is more cherry picked than the 17-29, no offense

That was not a legendary performance lmao. Steph missed a ton of shots and got hunted on defense. It was a great performance, and he was the best player tonight by far, but to call this a legendary performance is utterly disrespect to NBA history lmao.

Facts. Also people don't understand that 45% is insanely good when it comes to PO clutchness, if we take other ATGs as a measuring stick. It's basically only 5 or so guys that are that good or better. And when you account for attempts the list gets way shorter.

Where do you pull these stats? Would like to see these are other players like Butler, Lillard, Durant and Westbrook

Curry’s long 3’s don’t translate to close playoff games. He didn’t take one against Kevin Love in 2016 and was off today against Davis. His bad turnover habit appears just as much as his shotmaking.
