Stephen Curry has become too predictable

[360Waves]

His drop in play has nothing to do with injuries, or losing steam, or anything like that.

Dude has become the most predictable player in the NBA. In the Finals he attempted 18 FGs a game and 12 of them were 3s. He has pretty much all but abandoned his inside game and when he does drive it's because someone bit on his fake or he's putting in a fastbreak layup. Otherwise, you rarely see him take someone off the dribble anymore.

Kevin Love should have no business clamping him but Love knew that Curry wasn't playing too drive and no matter how many looks he gave he was eventually going to step back and settle for that 3. That's how Tristan Thompson was clamping him too.

I think Curry had only been blocked on a 3 like twice all regular season or some shyt like that and it happened several times in the Playoffs, all off the dribble.

They ridiculed you all playoffs.

Stunt!

Last week it was LeBron has no offense, can't take over games and can't score easily.

This week it's Steph is the most predictable player in the league.

True. Curry can't drive for shyt. what happens when the 3s don't fall like they use to.

 

[King Jove]

I think those Lebron blocks got in his head.

In the regular season his brilliance was built on his outside/in game.

In the finals he completely abandoned his drive game and just settled for 3's.

He played like when nikkas get down 10 late on NBA 2k and start chucking 3's to hurry up and get back in it

He looked like a glorified Jodie Meeks out there.

Just a disappointing series from him.

I've been saying this though.

Let me flip it this way. Remember the first like 4 games of the Finals where Cleveland was getting their ass beat? LeBron wasn't playing that well. Why? Because he had abandoned/had no confidence in his jumpshot and was trying to force his way to the hoop every...single...time. He became so predictable that the Dubs were taking turns swatting the ball out his hands when he came rumbling through with the ball tucked in like a runningback for another drive.

The turning point was when he said fukk all that and started to mix his game up. More post up hooks, post up fadeaways, the 3 ball, mid-range, etc. That opened everything up and allowed his drives to actually be IMPACTFUL.

Curry seems to think the solution to missing 3s is to shoot more 3s no matter what and it's been his downfall.

fukk Curry but it is obvious that his knee is hurting. That's what the biggest issue was

So you think Curry shooting 3's constantly is a bad thing? He made over 400 3's this year. The nobody has even cracked 300 before. Shooting 3's all game is the reason he was the MVP and the Warriors won 73 games.

That's literally 90% of his game....random 3s. What you expected dude to do? He was just cold.

Right but if you watched Curry in the beginning of the RS or even just last year dude mixed up his game a lot. He was hard to guard because when he hit you with those size up moves you truly DID NOT know what he was going to do. Now every big in the league has realized that dude is not looking to drive on his size ups anymore and has fallen in love with the 3 ball and it's made him easy to guard. You don't have to be a HOF level defender freak athlete to guard a guy if you can predict his moves--and it's not like Curry is some prime Rose level freak athlete where his predictability is mitigated by the fact that he's so fast and explosive.

I dunno breh. It looked like he was playing the same way he always plays. It's just those long ass contested 3s and transition 3s didn't drop.

Curry actually can drive, especially for someone that isn't explosive. His problem is he falls in love with taking ignorant ill advised 3 pointers. Yeah he has the range to hit them but they are terrible shots, especially in the nba finals.

Hes been moving well, i didnt see any staggered movement in his step

I hate when people use fake diatribe so they can safely make excuses for a player.

 

[Easy-E]

:kanye: the injury limited him

He can be hurt and play bad

Not an excuses
