Everyone including me has been on Embiid's ass and rightfully so but Curry is out there looking like current Isaiah Thomas.

Tatum seems to be relegated after this game. Rough for curry too. He’s getting attacked on D.

Airplane feed is way behind, but yeah, Steph has been absolutely useless. KD, meanwhile…

Its not great. But he's earned some leash, unlike Embiid. And he can still go off for 5 threes at any time. A couple bad shooting games don't undo a career of firethrowing.

If he's not on though, its probably better to have White and Holiday out there as the backcourt.

Curry’s defense just gonna keep getting attacked more and more, probably the major weakness on the team that others can attack.

He's been awful ever since the all star break.
