Stephen Curry scored 0 on Tuesday, but his team won by 30

[catzhernandez]

:wtf:

Curry goes for 0 tonight on 0-3 shooting in 32 minutes? What the hell?

He came in averaging 35 ppg. :eek:

[Roy Munson]

Yeah, I really wish I knew what went on in that game. They still won big. Maybe the other team ran a triangle-and-two defense with both of the guys on Curry the whole time. :oldlol:

That's actually exactly what they did. The whole game.

Yeah, I was just about to post this article.

Curry just stood around and basically just watched the game on offense. :oldlol:

pretty funny

[BigTicket]

Funny stuff:


By the third possession, Davidson’s Stephen Curry had figured it out. Loyola (Md.) was double-teaming him. Everywhere, on each possession, no matter what the scenario.

So Curry decided to test the triangle-and-2 defense taken to the ultimate extreme. He went into the corner and two defenders followed him, setting up a 4-on-3 for his teammates.

Curry decided to keep standing there, and his teammates kept scoring—for 40 minutes—in a 78-48 head-scratching win for the 24th-ranked Wildcats that will be remembered for some time.

And it gets weirder:


All this was courtesy of a bizarre coaching move by Loyola’s Jimmy Patsos.

“We had to play against an NBA player tonight,” Patsos explained. “Anybody else ever hold him scoreless? I’m a history major. They’re going to remember that we held him scoreless or we lost by 30?”

What the **** kind of coaching is that ?

Anyway it will ofcourse kill Curry's stats, but if I was drafting this would make me want to pick him more. It shows that he is the kind of unselfish player who does what is best for his team no matter what, exactly what I want in a PG.

[InspiredLebowski]

Ha, this would've been fun to see, for about five minutes anyway.

[yobore]

I watched this game if any NBA scouts watched it it will definitely improve his stock. Team player to the extreme he abused the fact they were doubling him, never seen anything like it


oh and loyola has the most stubborn coach in the world

[jbot]

man, that coach is strange. it's funny that they still won by that much.

[Valliant13]

That coach is an egotistical moron that put his own intrests above his teams. Huge respect for Curry for being calm, not forcing things, and letting his teamates do the damage. That kid is going to be a great player.

[Roy Munson]

I would have laughed my a** off if Curry would have kept calling for the ball anyway and put up 30 on two guys. Oh well, he'll just have to go for 60 next game to get his average back up to where it belongs. :oldlol:

[kentatm]

that coach is a complete moron.

I love that guy's logic:

"Our team has no chance to win, so I'm going to do something incredibly stupid to try to distract people from the blowout that's going to happen regardless."

It's like a slap in the face to his players. At least give them a chance to prove themselves in a real game instead of turning it into a circus.

[ShackEelOKneel]

Not surprised. He's always had a stacked roster to hide behind.

Says the guy with a LeBron avy.

[enayes]

$10 bucks that this happens TONIGHT

[yobore]

Hah that game was ridiculous. The coach said he wanted his team to be remembered as the one that held Curry scoreless so they weren't even playing real basketball.

Curry this series is legitimately awful though. He's playing like a shooter who can't shoot, like Jamal Crawford or JR Smith in their bad stretches except they don't usually get the ball all game. All his other skills are really amplified by his shooting so it looks really bad when he's not shooting well enough to distort the defense.
