Are people gonna ask this question every **** half Curry doesn't drop 20 points? jesus

answer: none. zero. Worry about your boy harden's legacy.


The better the legacy, the more questioning.

I must have missed it. Which play/call/shot?

He was averaging 13 points and 30% from three going into this game, finally he shows some guts.

Steph has been silent so far too... Just sayin


Doesn't have as much to work with on his team. They are putting 3 guys on him daring Iggy and Dray to shoot.

Kawhi has offensive talent all around him..much easier to get it going.

21/6/6 in the finals at the half. Pretty relevant.

I have to mostly agree, Curry got a lot of contact on a couple of those drives, but I'm fine with it as they've been pretty restrained with calling contact on Kawhi as well. Though he got away with hooking Klay at least once in the post.

Nah, can't call touches on the wrist after the ball is long gone. Otherwise Kawhi needs 80 free throws a game. It's streetball inside the arc and something else outside of it.

They need to reduce their turnovers and to bench Dray. Kerr should give his minutes to the other players.
Thats the only chance to win this game.

Raptors have done a great shot keeping Curry from getting shots up. One area of defense that is overlooked is the ability to prevent players from taking shots. It's not only about limiting percentages. Warriors have similarly done a good job with Leonard. We'll see how it progresses in the 2nd half.

I wonder what Curry's Finals/playoffs shooting percentages would look like if you took away his ~50 or so 40-70 foot heaves. This half alone you're looking at 2-7 from the field and 1-4 from 3. When in reality he is 2-5 from the field and 1-2 from 3 (with two 70 footers that were not far off...4-4 FT).

Great half overall. Moderate foul trouble for both teams. But a fun half. Dissection will come later.

That one Draymond 3 in the 1st half.

Might have been a 3, but it was counted as a 2.

I live with those turnovers if I were them. Those aggressive passes and movements opened up their game. Or otherwise without KD it would be too one dimensional and predictable.

Marc Jackson said that Warriors have no business being here.
Ummm WHAT?
Even without KD their roster consists of 3 Hall of Fame players
2 of which are the greatest shooters of all time
1 is an all time great defender

Curry's legacy without Durant in the finals: Gets destroyed by Irving or Lowry in elimination games on his own homecourt.
