The Golden State Warriors are one win away from winning another NBA championship. And, just like we all expected, itās been mostly thanks to Stephen Curry, whoās put them on his shoulders since the playoffs started.
Curry wants to silence his critics once and for all and bring home the only trophy heās yet to win: Finals MVP. And heās been otherwordly in the first four games of the series averaging 30+ on 50+ from the floor.
However, his shot seemed way off in Game 5 and he didnāt even make a three-pointer for the first time in his postseason career. Thatās why some Celtics fans thought their defense finally figured him out, but Stephen A. Smith isnāt so sure about that.
Stephen A. Smith Says Celtics Fans Are āIdioticā For Thinking Their Team Figured Out Stephen Curry
āSteph Curry was 0-for-9 last night from 3-point range, I counted at least four 3-point shots where he was wide open,ā Smith said.āHe just missed, it happens. Heās the greatest shooter God has ever created. Iāve never seen anybody shoot the basketball like him. Heās entitled. It happens, OK? Iām not worried about that at all.ā
āWe came into last nightās game fresh off a 43-point performance by Steph Curry in Game 4 on 14-of-26 shootingā7-of-14 from 3-point range, averaging 34 [points] on 50 percent shooting from the field and 49 percent shooting from 3-point range,ā Smith added. āWhat the hell do you mean figured him out? One game, because he missed? All of a sudden they figured him out? That is just idiotic. For anybody who would think that, itās idiotic.ā
Truth be told, you canāt stop Curry. No one can; no one could, no one will. You just can hope to contain him. The Celtics have their bags against the wall, so they hope what the fans are saying is true. But we wouldnāt bank the house on it.
