He is extremely skilled and I think it is mental for him. He can get anywhere on the court, has great foot work in the post, can finish with either hand. That’s why it is so weird to see him struggle
How can turnovers be an issue with a team starting the 2nd best PG of all time?
Very.
Not a good look on Steph's legacy no matter how you slice it for a 2 time MVP to not at least get his squad to the 8th spot. I called it early this season that he's not built to carry a team like other stars but niggas went for my head..
I have nothing against Steph, he's the greatest shooter I've ever seen but cats & the media act like he's not above criticism.
You can't lose at home against the Grizzlies

Niggas want him to make shots. I can live with you missing but he airballed twice in the 4th.....and that last one was just a dumb shot....if it wasn’t for that 4th id say he had a decent game.
Forfeit the game and give Warriors they spot so everyone can get mad.So LeBron shouldn’t have been allowed to play on Wednesday

Lakers star LeBron James' attendance at a promotional event this week was a violation of the NBA's health and safety protocols, and the league said the violation has been addressed with the team.www.espn.com
LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was found to be in breach of the NBA's health and safety protocols this week, a league spokesperson told ESPN on Friday night.
James was one of several high-profile guests present at a promotional event for Lobos 1707, a tequila brand he backs, earlier this week before the Lakers' play-in game against the Golden State Warriors.
The tequila was poured at a brief outdoor photo shoot, and invitees, including recording artist Drake and actor Michael B. Jordan, had to produce proof of vaccination or a recent negative test result in order to attend.
Even with those measures, James, who has declined to say whether he has received the COVID-19 vaccination, was found to be in violation of the league's health and safety protocols.
"It's a violation of the agreed upon protocols, and, as we have in other comparable instances around the league, it has been addressed with the team," a league spokesman told ESPN on Friday.
James and the No. 7-seeded Lakers will play the Western Conference's No. 2-seeded Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of their first-round series Sunday (3:30 ET, ABC).
Despite being the lower seed, L.A. is riding a six-game winning streak heading into the Suns series, with James back on the court for the past three victories after missing 26 of the Lakers' 28 games prior to that because of a high right ankle sprain.
Several weeks ago, James explained his thought process behind sitting out additional games down the stretch, saying, "at the end of the day if I'm not 100% or close to 100%, it don't matter where we land [in the standings]."
With that reasoning in mind, James was asked by a reporter on Friday if the consequences that come with being placed in the league's health and safety protocols during the playoffs -- being unavailable to his teammates for potentially up to a 10-to-14 day stretch -- affected his decision of whether to pursue the vaccine.
"Anything I do off the floor is predicated to my family, for the majority -- for 99.9% of that," James said. "So, it's about the health and safety of my family, and that's what it came down to.
"Me being available to my teammates on the floor is me taking care of my body. Me doing everything I can do to make sure I'm available both mentally, physically and spiritually, as well. But anything of that nature, that's all family talk."
When the reporter followed up by asking James directly if he had received the vaccine, he replied, "It's not a big deal," chuckling briefly after giving his answer.
The vague response was consistent with what James said over All-Star weekend when he was first asked about his plans for the vaccine.
"That's a conversation my family and I will have," he said in March. "I'll keep that to a private thing."
James' teammate, Dennis Schroder, who recently finished a 10-day stint in the health and safety protocols, told a German-language publication earlier this month that he and James were the only Lakers players who hadn't received the vaccine.
Schroder later updated his vaccine roll call, telling reporters last weekend, "I'm the only guy that didn't get vaccinated. I'll just leave it at that."
It would appear, however, that there is at least one other player on the Lakers besides Schroder who has not been vaccinated. Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Friday that L.A.'s roster has not passed the 85% vaccination threshold the league requires -- a minimum of 15 out of 17 players -- in order for a team to have its health and safety restrictions lessened moving forward.
"We have not reached it yet, but we're still hopeful," Vogel said. "And I think there's obvious benefits from the standpoint of us being able to do more things with each other in the cities that we're going to. Something that's been absent leaguewide in terms of team building and team bonding for all of us.
"It's been a challenge. So if we're able to reach that threshold then, obviously, we can do more."
Satisfying the 85% threshold will allow fully vaccinated persons within a team more liberties, such as not being required to wear masks at the practice facility; being allowed to eat at indoor and outdoor restaurants, in line with local health protocols; being granted the flexibility to eat on flights and leave the team hotel on the road; having more convenient PCR testing times to choose from; and being allowed to have in-person gatherings -- such as a group dinner -- at some place other than on the court or in a designated meeting room.
On Friday the L.A. County Department of Public Health announced a partnership with the Lakers to incentivize vaccinations with the chance to win two Lakers season tickets for next season.
Lebron legacy tainted too then right?Not a good look on Steph's legacy no matter how you slice it for a 2 time MVP to not at least get his squad to the 8th spot. I called it early this season that he's not built to carry a team like other stars but niggas went for my head..

You can't lose at home against the Grizzlies
Mavs offering up KP broken knees ass for Klay broken knees ass....offer on the table.
Lebron Stan’s are a cult...they act like Antifa members and shit...they’ll fuck some shit up and blame it on Kobe fans.
@Dr. Truth address this ignorant shit I think Largebills hungover but how these dudes gonna see Steph do everything he can to win last night and question his legacy? Niggas mad at him because Wiggins and Draymon are offensively challenged?
Of course, like I said no one is above criticism
Yeah, Draymond game out there getting disrespected. They dared him to take any shot. They even allowed him to drive to the paint for the game winner and he was still looking to pass. You’d think after all these years he have way more confidence to score.
You gotta take em to make em.
Id rather that then seeking him disappear as usual.
Its weird.
Its like Draymond forgot he's played in a ton of big games before.
Its all about getting saved by Steph Curry now.
Especially when when your star is getting double and tripled team. That looks so shitty on the other players, especially Draymond, that they couldn’t give enough to get them over the hump.
The role players for Memphis came through in a big way during overtime and Morant finished them off. To me it looked like Memphis was the better team. I thought once GS took the lead, it was a wrap, but this isn’t the same Warriors squad I am accustom to seeing.
Nah but he was contributing on the defensive end. The casuals would've hated on him but he gave some good minutes...
The issues with last night is that anytime the Warriors had momentum it was like Wiggins would come in to clank some shit. Just poor timing to miss.
Oh shit aight you know I ain't use to people keeping that same energy regardless of the player on here....everybody play favoritism for some reason. :lol
Brooks, JJJ, Allen and Bane can all knock down the three.
Utah gonna have issues keeping guarding Ja allowing him to create open shots for his teammates. I say Memphis steals two while the Warriors were gonna get swept
So LeBron shouldn’t have been allowed to play on Wednesday

Must be good being the King
I like that I only get @'d for the negative lol
Nothing to shut down
It's the same story niggas will come in and talk about curry
And not that literally all anyone has to do is make a bucket against teams that double and triple team him
We can say what we want but the rest of those dudes should be ashamed of themselves including Draymond
The game showed what I been saying all year long
It's really all that simple
Lmao! You mean the face of the league won't get suspended ahead of a playoff game on ABC on a Sunday?
I'm shocked.
You mean the guy wasn't supposed to play but was able to but sure lolLmao! You mean the face of the league won't get suspended ahead of a playoff game on ABC on a Sunday?
I'm shocked.
It’s because Steph is light skinned
Marrying white women and getting rid of your Black family will keep you the top of the food chain in the NBA.
Lmao! You mean the face of the league won't get suspended ahead of a playoff game on ABC on a Sunday?
I'm shocked.
I hope they make him sit. I wanna laugh at the league and fans pretending they care about the playoffs if Bron dont play. Might as well cancel the whole thing honestly.
Steph loses and they deflect to LeBron. What a shock.
Stop mentioning lesser players with LeBron just cuz they light skinnded. LeBron isnt the one that just choked himself out of the playoffs.
Steph Curry not being able to get the Dubs in the playoffs 2 years in a row without Klay has permanently stained his legacy. Chris Paul is a better point guard. Dame Lillard and Westbrook fans goin in on that man so hard today. 
Ja Morant >>>> Steph Curry
Ja Morant >>>> Steph Curry
Curry's gotta shoot that shot man. You cant pass to Dray. Thats the difference between him and LeMelanin. LeMelanin lives for that shot, Steph looks for a KD or Dray to bail him out.
"Ohh, its not fair they are double and triple teaming me, I cant make them pay with my passing, make it stop!"
