Curry declining before our very eyes.

lmao Curry
cmon dude

[zimpy27]

Curry really struggling today

[levon]

This is probably Steph's last year as a star. Maybe GS should hold off on trading to compete

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

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.

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

I was about to push back and then he got blocked on an iso three.

Even if I'm justified its not the time for it.

Curry has been brutal on both ends. There's really no good reason for him to get so many minutes.

Lineup I like the most is

White
Holiday
Booker
Durant
Davis

By the way they've been keeping their young pieces, I would imagine they know and see it too.

If anyone watched the 2014 World Cup, Curry wasn’t all that impressive. He never found his stroke there, either. Kyrie, Klay and AD were much more impactful then.

Looking every bit like a 36 year old small guard unfortunately

Has tatum played in the 2nd half?

Feels like he got his "my dad talked to the coach" start and then that was it.

[Dennis Reynolds]

KD instead of Booker and this is the perfect lineup imo.

[_AIJ_]

Tatum and Curry are both useless

The physicality allowed by FIBA disadvantages smaller guards the most. Curry isn't used to dealing with the handchecking allowed and he doesn't have the quickness or body to either blow by guys or overpower them to get some space.

I don't like this player PR the commentators do to make sure we know people's feelings aren't hurt. "He's not playing but look how happy he is! See? Everything's fine!"

These are grown men and so are we. Let us mock and speculate like the Internet is supposed to.

It’s always fascinating to see how these teams shake out. It’s not a video game where individual games just automatically mesh and translate.

You see it all the time in soccer too. England’s had some of the best midfielders on the planet over the past 20-plus years and they’ve never gotten the most out of them. At the recent Euros they had the leading scorer in Europe and the POY in both England and Spain and they barely created any chances.

It’s bizarre but again, life is not a video game. The good thing for us is that we usually have enough top-tier talent that they can’t all underachieve.

He also doesn't have Draymond and the ball is different from the NBA ball.

[Ballerhogger]

Looking at stat sheet Lebron has been the only consist one over 2 games

[RB34]

Kerr is a joke if a coach.

[Rich Rane]

USA doing South Sudan favors these last minutes.
