    Don't get me wrong. He is a big reason they have been the surprise team this year. But his shooting is way down by his standards and no one is really talking about outside of this thread. Maybe Wiggins should make the All Star team this year.

    His shooting % is way down but same with Harden, Doncic, Beal, Tatum, and Dame to name some. Seems to me that the reffing has fundamentally and significantly hurt certain players. By taking away foul calls on drives they’ve made it beneficial for defenses to play tighter on these guys maybe.

    Good point. I wonder if the new ball has something to do with it too.

    Also his worst TS% (which factors in the added value of additional 3's) since his rookie year.

    Exactly. That's why his PPG hasn't fallen off much. He's shooting more three's. That is why his FG% has dropped. They (Kerr) are keeping him from punishing his body and asking him to shoot from outside more. They are also keeping his total minutes down.

    That’s why he shot 1/13 the other night? And his ppg absolutely has fallen off. A full 6 points from last year. That’s because he’s shooting more? Huh?

    Alright dude. Curry sucks now.
    No need to respond to you any longer.

    I never said he sucks. He’s having an off year. It’s not all or nothing, guy.

    Curry 2/10 from 3 tonight. His teammates keep bailing him out.

    Just saw a tweet that said of Curry’s 6 worst shooting performances of his career, 5 of them have been this season. What a collapse.

    So with Dameout. Klay somewhat out, curry playing poorly, does this open the door for the bigs like Nurk, Kat, embiid, jokic, etc to take back the style of game and run through the big men more, instead of pick and pops for the guards?

    We say post up bigs are a dinosaurs game, but everything cycles…

    could this be the year the league starts to transition back to the big mans game?

    Depends on if the big can hit a three. It's the reason Jokic is so very dangerous.
