So far in the Western Conference Finals, Stephen Curry hasn’t been his normal self. The Golden State Warriors superstar has struggled shooting the basketball against the Houston Rockets, and in the first two games has shot just 2-13 from beyond the arc.
Naturally, because of how how important this series is, there has been a fair amount of overreaction. Questions about Curry’s health have surfaced, as well as the idea that Houston attacking Curry’s defense has worn him down.
The more likely reason seems to be that Curry has simply had a few off games, as happens to every star player over the course of the season.
