Does he have another 20 pt quarter in him tonight?

30 footers over a contest. It's nice to be Steph Curry. You just have to blitz him/ high show even above the 3 pt line (I still think at 3 pt line is appropriate).

I don't know if he hits shots like that last 3 he took amazingly efficiently though. But maybe you just have to step out as high as you can.

Really showed up big in the 4th quarter. Great game against a great defensive PG.

an off night for Curry, the paint was a little too crowded for him, needed to be smarter playing D as well. Scoring 12 points in the 4th was nice to close out the game in a flashy way.

Offensively Curry was his usual, but he gambled a lot more than normal on D. Got a bit too excited and it cost us a bit. He's so effective if he tones it down a bit, which I believe he will.

It must be nice when you can come back from 10 down just casually shooting 28 footers.

31 Points on 70+ TS% and it's an off night :lol:

, proof this guy has a huge lead on any other players offensively

Also 4 assists but 0 turnovers. I wonder how teams with average or worse defensive PG's will defend him?

One knows that they are getting places when an off night means 31 points on 74% TS

Man Curry coming through in the crunch like always will Paul just fails it. I feel Curry going to have back to back Mvp season also Mister love hear your take on the Impact Paul to Curry i feel Curry impact wins games what you think.

Just to normalize things a bit, we should just have a different point system in place to account for this ridiculous player.

Like: Oh he hit 7-9 from deep, to: He had a whatever game, he missed 2-9 from deep.

Does that make sense?
No?
Neither does Curry.

Is there an argument for anyone ever being a better shooter in their prime than Curry is now? Nope.

Not even a little bit, no.

Stephen Curry is only player in history that shooting the threes better than 45% and has attempted more than 8 threes per game. In fact, his 3PA is currently at 10.8.

This kinda of volume is Unheard-of, and i believe he can maintain this. The volume three for Curry is like mid-range 2 for Jordan and sky hook for Jabbar, something can not be copied by other players.

I still feel teams haven't even figured out a game plan, let alone a practical demonstration, on how to defend him. Jordan was dropping back on pick and rolls like he's Ricky Rubio. I know a lot of people have been talking about of teams selling out to stop Curry, but I'm not seeing it for the most part. Teams aren't selling out and he's killing them for it.

last year's Cavs did a great job containing him by double/triple team him on every possession down the play. You limit Curry by 5 pts per game and let the others to beat you. This might be the best plan.

I agree. I haven't seen that game plan this year at all.
