Lets put this curry injury stuff to bed.

[TheWinningFam]

Curry had no knee issues, he just played like shit.


Before Game 7:

People suffering with mcl tears dont do this.

Game 3:


Shit finals performers get this.

Doing a dunk in warm ups in no way indicates a player is 100% healthy. The main problem that is caused by an MCL injury is loss of lateral movement and explosiveness.

[Quote]The MCL is one of four ligaments connecting the femur bone to the tibia at the knee. It helps keep the knee stable as it moves from the outside to the inside.

So the lateral movements are going to put pressure on the ligament.

It's been in the coffin for awhile.

Hurt or not hurt, it doesn't matter in the scheme of things. Nobody will remember or give him a break for such a bad performance even if he was injured ... the fact that he wasn't injured just confirms that he won't get a break. And now that a better scorer and defender is taking over the team, it's hard to see Curry ever having a good shot at FMVP again. This year was probably his last real chance.

People not remembering the truth does not make it untrue

Yes, he's here, he's back

But is he 100%?

It seems that he has left that portion out of his supposed "confession"... as you are trying to portray it (which is laughable)

[Spurs m8]

Every single point brought up in that video is a direct causation from Curry's loss of lateral movement and explosiveness due to his MCL injury

Every day is a meltdown.

Cool life bro

Coach Nick focuses on the statistics, but that is only going to tell you half the story.

Where I thought the Cavs really wore down and shook Steph's confidence was on the other end of the court. His inability to defend Kyrie with anything remotely resembling success, it meant Klay had to shift over (he had his own problems) and the Warriors having to find a hiding spot for Steph.

There wasn't always one there. When Shump was on the court, it helped Curry not have to work as hard defensively, but JR brings his own set of problems for a defender and the Cavs just relentlessly attacked Curry on that end, whoever he was guarding.

There was a story that came out after Game 6, I believe, where LeBron and Kyrie were scanning the court, looking for Steph, and screaming at whoever he was guarding to attack him. You even saw JR attempt some shot-creating and playmaking, which isn't exactly his strong suit... but it was all about sapping Curry's energy and putting him on the hot seat (which can impact the other end).

In 2015, he had a readymade hiding spot in Delly. That allowed him to conserve energy and focus almost exclusively on his offensive game.
