What about Stephen Curry? In weeks in which the goodbye is discussed to the elite of a generation led by LeBron James and Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors star seemed to keep the flag high of the same to go against that current. However, such appreciation is jumping through the air at a dizzying pace, The same one that the Houston Rockets are putting on the parquet to evidence to the base of the San Francisco Organization.
As it sounds. If at other times There has been talk of Curry as a player as special as unstoppablethe present is rising before such a statement based on defeats and actions away from excellence that is presupposed to him. Because yes, the Warriors depend less on him after the arrival of Jimmy Butler, but things have not changed so much that they can win games if Curry disappears.
That happened last night in the Sixth match of the NBA playoffs first round series against Rockets. After a reaction that led the Californians to place two points down with the last quarter to play, Curry not only could not give the tip to their rivals, but it was fully overcome. It ended with 29 points yes, but stayed in a 1 of 7 in field shots in the last 12 minutesincluding a 1 of 5 in triples to sign a +/- of -11 in such a period of time. Clearer: disappeared when he was most needed.
But he didn’t move forward. You cannot take value from Rockets that are able to suffocate a legend like the ’30’ of Golden Stateand that also has as decisive players at the offensive level as Fred Vanvleetand is that the base carries Several matches surpassing Curry in the individual duel. Thus, if the Texas franchise is averaging 26.6 points per night in the last three gamesthe four -rings winner stays at 19.6, well below those expected.
With water around the neck
Before such a decrease in benefits, It is not surprising that the Warriors have clearly dominate the 3-1 tie to be dedicated to a seventh game After losing this morning at dawn for 107-115 On your court. It is obvious that They have talent to solve on the Houston trackbut in the same way it would not be a surprise if they end up claudicating before a team capable of leaving the best player in their history evidence.
