Yeah the engine that uncharacteristically starts bricking wide open shots...

It's probably the physicality of the playoffs more than the "pressure" that makes him worse...
Why even post nonsense like this when you know it's not true? What's the point? You can't take them daps with you.

On the career he averages 26.1 points and 6.4 assists in the playoffs. He posts a .452/.408/.893 shooting slash for the playoffs. He’s posted a grand total of 1 postseason shooting under 39.5% from distance. Please do some research before making claims about a players game in the postseason :snoop:

Didn't watch the video but Steph is the greatest shooter of all time...except in the playoffs :yeshrug:
Watch from 7:12 on. He not shytting on Curry. But man the way he break it down. It did make it look like Curry froze up against Kevin during that sequence in game 7

Haven't lied once. We all see the games.
Do you really see them, or do you consciously/subconsciously cherry-pick moments to layer your predisposed take of his game?
How many sub 40 percent shooting games has Curry had in the playoffs vs in the regular season
That's not the question you should be asking, since he still can have more "sub 40% shooting games" in the playoffs v. the regular season and still be "the greatest shooter of all-time" - he can still not be as efficient during the postseason as he is during the regular season, and still shoot more efficiently than everyone else. Hell, you'd be hard pressed to find a high volume-scorer who replicated their [regular season] efficiency in the postseason, especially someone like Curry who takes greater difficulty shots than anyone in NBA history.

Let's have a look at his efficiency v. the best scorers in the game during the playoffs -

Efficiency in the postseason of the best high-volume scorers on actual field goals (excluding FT):

LeBron - 22 ppg on 52.8 eFG%
Curry - 21.7 ppg on 56 eFG%
Durant - 21.6 ppg on 52 eFG%
Harden - 19 ppg on 48 eFG%

Curry scores relatively the same amount of points (on field goals) as LeBron during the postseason, yet is considerably more efficient.


Let's have a look at his efficiency v. the best 3-pt shooters in history during the playoffs -

Curry - 40.8% on 10.3 attempts per game
Allen - 40% on 5.6 attempts per game
Miller - 39% on 5.7 attempts per game


Not only is Curry more efficient on actual field-goals than every other high-volume scorer in the game today, in the postseason, but he's more efficient from the 3-pt line than the best shooters in history too, while attempting DOUBLE the amount. And again, these are just strictly the #s, they don't tell you that not only is Curry more efficient, but he's taking greater difficulty shots, against greater defensive attention.

Watched the whole vid, he's not shytting on Curry at all but has an interesting pov on the fact that Curry didn't take "his shot" when Love was far from him but instead went into an ill-fated dribble session. I never thought about it this way but he makes a good point. The vid is really well done too.

Naw. I don’t think so. Like homey said in the video that’s a shot Curry practice a million times. Hell him making a shot like that is why they were in the Finals.

Watch the vid. It’s dope af too me.
