Stephen Curry’s 3-point shooting ability has revolutionized the game so much that Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green compared Curry’s threes to that of others’ dunks. After the game, Green commented on Curry’s performance as well as their home crowd’s support: “His three is like someone else’s dunk,” Draymond Green said. “I don’t mean to […]

Through the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, there was a growing concern around the play of Golden State star point guard Stephen Curry as he struggled on the court. Curry took a major step forward with his performance, scoring a game-high 35 points on 13-of-23 shooting from the field along with five made […]

After draining several 3-pointers and lay-ups, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry got too hyped, maybe for his own good. He uncharacteristically blurted out an expletive while speaking to the crowd at Oracle Arena, telling them that this is his house. Below is a clip of the incident as posted by Def Pen Hoops: 'THIS […]

Stephen Curry is missing and Draymond Green is talking. The latter is normal, but the former is an anomaly. In two games against the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors’ back-to-back MVP is only averaging a measly, by his standards, stat-line of 17.0 points per game on 44 percent field goal […]

It is no secret that Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry has not been his usual self lately. Fortunately, small forward Kevin Durant is not worried about his teammate’s recent slump. In fact, he is adamant that it is only a matter of time before Curry regains his touch. Durant even confirmed that the Warriors […]

The Western Conference Finals is shaping up to be the kind of back-and-forth affair many have been expecting from the top two teams in the NBA.

Following a Game 2 loss to the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, all eyes turned to Stephen Curry, who has scored under 20 points in two straight games for the first time since the 2016 postseason. But to his teammates and coach, this is just another storyline to come to terms with how […]

The Houston Rockets found themselves in a rare “must-win” scenario against the Golden State Warriors … in Game 2. The Warriors used a bevy of Kevin Durant buckets (37 points), “butt naked” open threes from Klay Thompson (6-of-15 from three), and a “punch yourself out” defense to burn the Rockets in Game 1. Home court […]

The Golden State Warriors don’t seem to be as worried as most people are about Stephen Curry’s shooting struggles, having gone 2-of-13 from distance in the first two games of the series against the Houston Rockets. Yet his confidence in a bounce-back performance doesn’t come from just a storied reputation, but rather his unequivocal belief […]

The Golden State Warriors are looking at two games back home in Oracle Arena to seize a potential 3-1 lead over the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals. Right now, they’re likely favored to win Games 3 and 4, but they won’t be able to do so without their All-Star point guard Stephen Curry […]

The Houston Rockets finished the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and as the owner of the best record in the league. In Game 1 of the conference finals against the Golden State Warriors, the Rockets did not live up to the hype, as they got wrecked at home, 119-106. […]

Following two underwhelming games to start off the series against the Houston Rockets, most fingers pointed to Stephen Curry scoring under 20 points as a reason the Golden State Warriors aren’t up 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry isn’t just a good basketball player, he is also a very good golfer, and during the offseason, he plays a lot of it. He has even played on a few Web.Com tour events in 2017, which is a tour for players trying to develop their game to make it […]

Stephen Curry, regarded as one of the best shooters of all time, has made his mark among young guns who want to play basketball for a living. His effortless 3-point bombs from 30 feet have been something kids continuously practice on their own. Recently, Los Angeles Lakers guard Isaiah Thomas got a front-row view of […]

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry tried to shake free from Houston Rockets’ defenders; delivering feint after feint in futility while Chris Paul and company mirrored his every step.

Stephen Curry has put together two underwhelming postseason games for the first time in these playoffs, failing to record 20 or more points in Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The former two-time MVP has clearly struggled shooting the ball from deep after coming back from a Grade 2 MCL sprain after […]

Stephen Curry has found it tough to regain his full rhythm after coming back from a Grade 2 MCL sprain that kept him out nearly six weeks. For the first time in a series, Curry has had back-to-back subpar games — scoring less than 20 points in Games 1 and 2 against the Houston Rockets. […]

The Houston Rockets bounced back firmly against the Golden State Warriors to even up the Western Conference Finals after a 127-105 Game 2 win on Wednesday night. Stephen Curry, who was the usual suspect targeted in their famed isolation matchups, was the primary defender in 23 plays after facing 20 in Game 1, according to […]

Stephen Curry, while an offensive dynamo, can be a big liability on defense. The Golden State Warriors superstar stands at 6’3″ but his lanky stature makes him an easy target on switches. As reported by Chris Haynes of ESPN, the Houston Rockets targetted Curry on 23 plays in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals […]

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was noticeably out of his usual form during Game 2 of the Western Conference finals series against the Houston Rockets Wednesday night.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors failed to steal another game on the road in their Western Conference finals series matchup with the Houston Rockets after absorbing a 123-105 loss from James Harden and company on Wednesday night.

Game 1 of the Western Conference finals did not go well for the Houston Rockets, who took a 119-106 loss from the Golden State Warriors at home on Monday.

The Houston Rockets showed a very deliberate plan of attack in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals — attack Stephen Curry on defense as much as possible.

The two-time MVP took a back seat to his […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry side-stepped past a tricky post-game request, as ESPN’s Chris Haynes asked him to recall a play-by-play of the opening minute of the game, much like LeBron James did after a Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. The sharpshooter passed on the chance, yet […]

Klay Thompson showed his propensity for having a quick trigger, attempting 15 3-pointers while canning six of them for a 40-percent night from beyond the arc during a 119-106 Game 1 win over the Houston Rockets.

By and large, the Golden State Warriors are coasting in these playoffs. They have only lost two games so far in the postseason and remain as the top favorite to win in the NBA Finals this June. In 2015, however, the Warriors found their backs against the wall as early as the second round when […]

To be voted as the NBA Players Association (NBPA) president and then re-elected again is no joke. It means your fellow NBA players have a lot of faith and respect for you.

The Golden State Warriors had yet to limit Stephen Curry’s minutes since coming back after a 16-game absence in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, but they did something even smarter — limiting his involvement in set plays and allowing him to get his wind back by playing off the ball. Curry did so […]

Four games since coming back from a grade 2 left MCL strain that made the Golden State Warriors starting point guard miss the last 10 games of the regular season (and some even questioning if he was ever coming back at all and if their title defense is all but gone), Stephen Curry is still […]
