"Playoff Steph" is a Thing Now

"Playoff Steph" is a Thing Now

"Playoff Steph" will continue to become a thing. He did score 30 points but was only 4-14 from beyond the arc. If Curry hit just a few more, the Warriors win these games but the Rockets will give him every layup he wants as long as he keeps missing 3's.

Since getting Kevin Durant, Steph Curry's role has diminished and changed and he hasn't been the same player. The system used to elevate him but when KD puts up big numbers the system doesn't lend to passing and open 3's for Curry. All this reinforces Jason Smith's point that Steph Curry plays like a system quarterback. He's still a great player but not as transcendent as when KD is on the team.
