So, Curry is now with the last game 0-14 on go ahead shots in the last 20 sec in PF?

[Nb1]

He was 0-10 on go ahead shots a while ago (link downstairs) in the last 20 sec in playoff games and he missed the last 2 shots and gave the ball over on the last posession in the last game, which means with the last 3 he bricked with 17 seconds left last game to put the Warriors in front.

I will never understand how the greatest shooter of all time bricks the shot every single time when the game is close and he's the one taking it. I think even Poole already made shots like that.

I'd expect specially him to be like 25-40 or something. Not only doesn't he take it often, but when he does, he sh** his pants. Crazy how you can be such a amazing player and brutalize the other team when you're up, but at the same time choke so hard when the game is on the line in the final seconds. I will never get this.

UPDATE: I just read he's 0-14 now? Can someone confirm?

UPDATE 2: Here they say he’s 0-12 after last nights game. Thats insane!

UPDATE 3: Skip just said after last game he’s 0-14:

If so I’d like to see the 14. Hard to imagine.

The ones off the top of my head were some iso 28 foot pull-up bullshit though. Warriors ever spring him for a catch and shoot Reggie Miller style for any of these shots?

I don’t think he’d miss off sheer nerves.

It’s true that in all those years i can’t think even or 1. Every time the game was close in the final seconds he either bricked it, passed the ball ot turned it over. It’s an insane stat for the guy who is clearly the best shooter of all time and should be on the top in that stat with like 150 playoff games.

[ArbitraryWater]

why 20? why not 24?

[L.Kizzle]

He doesn't wet the bed, he takes 30 footers.
Maybe better shot selection warrants better results.
Most of those plays KB is talking about are usually for Klay.

I remember a kind of 2pt jump layup vd Kings and last night he not only missed the 3 with 17 sec left but also a middle range shot with like 23 sec to go.

[Nb1]

why 20? why not 24?

No idea! But its insane that the best shooter of all time always bricked the last shot on that occasion. Maybe even Westbrook got one lucky in there lol.

But I looked at the link and artice, nowhere does it say 20 seconds.

[tpols]

I'm a Curry fan and don't really see him as a come from behind clutch player. Feels like he literally always chucks some crazy 3 trying to be the hero and always misses.

The loss yesterday isn't on him though. Klay, Wiggins, and Poole have been garbage in the playoffs this year.

Wiggins transformed into harrison barnes yesterday missing a some wiiide open 3s that could've iced the game at certain points in the 4th and poole is one of the worst players in the NBA.

Klay supposed to be this all timer yet shoots like shit in the playoffs... even last year in the Finals he put up 17 ppg on 35% shooting and the warriors somehow won. A miracle.

[Hey Yo]

Steph did his best game 1 Poole imitation with the 35 footer at the end.

[Axe]

Yikes. Not so clutch at all, it seems. :ohwell:

[Nb1]

But I looked at the link and artice, nowhere does it say 20 seconds.

Each website seem to say something else, some say 0-14, some 0-12 in the last 24, 20, 15 sec. When you google it you find all kinds of numbers.

But Steph never seemed to even make 1! I've seen him always choking, but i thought in his career he'd have had at least a few ones in 150 games. But 0? That's crazy.

No, alot of times he finishes the game early when he smells blood and they're up by double digits. Last night he did shoot atrociously with like 20% from 3 and he did brick the last 2 shots and turned over the ball on the last posession, but the game wouldn't be that close till the end if it wasn't for him.

I see 45 secs everywhere. Where did you see the 20 seconds?

I don't know why you started your reply with no when you literally just agreed with everything I said.

[Nb1]

I read it here first where someone said 0-8 in the last 20 seconds 1 day ago and then i read 0-12 on the last 45 sec, that's what made me even do the thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/13c23es/in_his_playoff_career_stephen_curry_has_shot_010/

Then saw thread where he was 0-12 on the last 24 sec and here that he never made a shot on the last 24 sec:

https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-has-never-made-a-go-ahead-shot-in-final-24-seconds-of-4th-quarter-or-overtime-in-playoffs

Skip on the last video on the opening post link said 0-14 on the last 50 sec or something.

You're right, i guess i wanted to reply to someone else.

😱😱😱

[red1]

he takes difficult shots


wouldnt surprise me if this stat is accurate

[imdaman99]

Stop taking 30 footers, looks like he never learned from the Kevin love defense. He admitted it was a bad move forcing a 3 but he did it again. I know he took a midrange before that but that was also difficult. Dude is skilled but was missing layups all game long. I still think he had a great game but missing a lot of shots, could tell that beat him up and force him to play defense is still effective

[Axe]

That sounds like kobe lmao

[Carbine]

He's out of my top ten list now

He takes alot of difficult shots during the games. It's insane that he wasn't even able to make 1 in those circumstances when it mattered the most.

[HoopologyPhD]

Not every great bball player has killer instinct or is excellent in the clutch

The thing is you'd expect the best shooter of all time who makes crazy shots during the whole game to at least make 1 of those lol.

He's not. It's not hard to see why.

In that condensed time period that is the end of the game, where plays are initiated in the half-court out of a timeout situation and the defense has time to prepare, there's not really a ton of ways for him to hurt you. As great of a shooter as he is, it's easy to know what to do, just stay in position and contest the three as best you can without fouling.

So many of his advantages disappear in that clutch-time situation. He makes so many shots because he can get off the shot before the defense can react, whether that's due to distance in transition or great ball movement in the halfcourt. Those advantages are negated when they don't have a lot of time to move the ball and the opposition knows who the ball is going to and they're prepared to react to him.

I don't think it's because he doesn't have a killer instinct or whatever. That particular game situation just doesn't suit his skill set the best.

Wouldn't you expect the "best player" (of course when KD was there KD took those shots) on the team and best shooter of all time to at least have made 1 shot in all those years? Thousands of guys have made that shot. That's crazy.

I don't think someone being a great player means that they can be great or equally effective in every single game situation.

The loss yesterday isn't on him though. Klay, Wiggins, and Poole have been garbage in the playoffs this year.

Wiggins transformed into harrison barnes yesterday missing a some wiiide open 3s that could've iced the game at certain points in the 4th and poole is one of the worst players in the NBA.

Klay supposed to be this all timer yet shoots like shit in the playoffs... even last year in the Finals he put up 17 ppg on 35% shooting and the warriors somehow won. A miracle.

Klay was a great playoff performer before his injury but always struggled in the finals.

[bdonovan]

Personally I don't think he's the right guy to take that last shot. Why? Because he's run thousands of yards by that point. He runs more than any other NBA player.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/stephen-curry-warriors-nba-playoffs-284f8f2b

There is no player in the NBA that runs even close to the number of yards Steph does to get open. His legs are shot by the end.

That's why in the last game with the Lakers the Warriors were going to Klay.

It's a little different with "stars" like KD who rest on the defensive end by refusing to guard his man and improvising a zone defense. Or your average NBA player who largely is stationary until they have the ball.

I know some over-emphasize a metric like this, but it's casual fan territory since the points scored in the first minutes of the first quarter matter as much as those at the end; and the cumulative of the first 3 and a half quarters matters far more than the last shot. Over-dramatizing the latter is simply availability bias.

To be fair, Steph is also resting on defense many times. Lonnie Walker was abusing the Warriors in the 4th mainly bc of Steph who was his primary defender and GS tries to switch always for Steph not having to do too much on defense, also bc he's a liability bc of his size (which is normal since he's their rime offensive weapon). And honestly, you can see Bron, AD they're all gassed by end of the 3rd and Steph is still running like a rabbit by the end of the 4th. I think he has the best cardio out of everyone else.

And him being the best shooter of all time, it's on him to take a shot like that most of the times. People jumped on Poole for missing the shot last time despite having a great game till then. It's different, the pressure is different when it comes down to the game winning shot then when there's still alot of time to play. When you're the best shooter of all time and supposed to be the best player on your team, you are the one who has to have balls and make that kind of shot.It's insane that he wasn't even able to make 1 single shot after so many years.

Haven't check to see if this has been posted yet, but supposedly this is a video of all of the shots/ misses.
