It certainly didn’t look like it was Spurs schemes that troubled Curry’s shot, his worst misses seemed to come off his best looks, I’m a huge Federer and Nadal fan and after watching almost every set they’ve played over their careers and as they’ve aged I’ve witnessed breakdowns in their games that I never thought I’d see, still performing at an an elite level but inevitably the cracks appear
The last time I asked, a few weeks ago, if it was time to debate whether Steph may have lost a smidge as he ages, I was met with nothing but hostility from this friendly crowd. I expect nothing less in a friendly but fan-centric environment. All good. But I still think it's a question and someone was posting about lower 2-point FG% as being a sign of aging.
NOTE: I am not saying that because there is a question as to whether Steph is losing some of his mojo as he ages necessarily means that the answer is yes. That's why it's a question. As Daniel points out about shooting 25% on 20+ shots: "The odd thing is three of them have occured this season." Well, maybe that's not so odd.
I suppose I have to caveat this or I'll get chewed up and spit on the pavement outside Chase: obviously he's still the greatest shooter in the world and league MVP right now, obviously the Dubs are playing great ball, obviously small sample size doesn't tell us everything, obviously teams are keying on him more than ever, obviously if you had Klay in there it would be different. I hope that's sufficient caveating. So the question is: has Steph lost a smidge from his peak?
Do you even expect Steph to play against Orlando?
Anyone got a G League report from last night? How’d the rooks do?
