Criticizing Stephen Curry is often a fine line that is treaded lightly, especially among Warriors fans. But that fine line became rather blurred after Game 3, where Curry had one of his worst playoff performances in his career, if not the worst. It was a nightmare of a performance that can be summarized into one statement: He simply did not show up against the Rockets.
Putting up a stat line of 17 points on 7-for-23 shooting (30.4 percent) and 2-for-9 from three-point range (22.2 percent) just isn’t going to cut it. The Warriors needed more from the two-time MVP, the best point guard in the world, and considered as one of the three best players in the world — but what they received from him was considerably subpar.
