Zach Randolph never would have left the building alive if Curry got hurt there lol.

 

[StickSoldier]

He's going to beat it next year.

With a chip in him or straight Curry mode again? How is this even possible...? People are actually capable of this? I'm astonished, and I hate to say it, but jealous at the same time. This guy is absolutely amazing at what he does.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

He's stopped shooting threes and I don't think he'll play in the fourth.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

he crosses 41 points tonight and he'll end the season with a 30.0 ppg average? That right?

edit: And he just got it.

 

[RS4-]

Lol just rest him already

 

[Slayer-33]

Lol just rest him already

No u

 

[Brinbe]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck let him break the 3 pt record. He can bang home 3 more

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Curry had some fun that quarter.


60 points is there if he wanted it, but he's done for the night.

 

[serenewarfare]

He could absolutely break the single-game record if he played the fourth, but he's not playing the fourth.

 

[The One and Done™]

3 for the single game record

 

[DataStream]

I think Kerr will give him 4 minutes if he wants it

 

[King Tubby]

It's crazy how you can hear the crowd basically hoping for that rush of dopamine when he hits a 3.

 

[AstroLad]

Local announcer here going in so hard on Stephenson.

 

[sycam0re]

the local adobe commercial was beyond bad

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Curry 3 is more over than the People's Elbow.

 

[King Tubby]

The wave, though? But...why?

 

[Trey]

The wave, though? But...why?

Why not?

 

[Pndomo]

Absolutely ridiculous shooting tonight.

 

[Anth0ny]

first player to hit both 300 and THEN 400 threes in a single season.

truly the steph curry supernova.

the most incredible individual season I've ever seen live, with Kobe's 81 point season as a runner up. just unbelievable.

 

[Fjordson]

Well that was a pretty incredible game. My ears are hurting from how loud the crowd was when Curry started to explode in the first quarter.

The win was the main objective, but Curry shot well enough to stay in the 50-40-90 club. Highest scorer in the club! Definitely in the running for the greatest offensive season ever.

 

[Azih]

Super
Nova

 

[GaimeGuy]

So yeah

Steph Curry last year set the all time 3 point single season record with 286

This year, he finished with 402.

o_o

 

[FalsettoVibe]

That's pretty cool.

 

[timetokill]

So yeah

Steph Curry last year set the all time 3 point single season record with 286

This year, he finished with 402.

o_o

Yep, straight up murdering that record

Love watching this kid play

 

[InsanerBrainer]

He Curry'd the team to the playoffs.

 

[weekev]

So yeah

Steph Curry last year set the all time 3 point single season record with 286

This year, he finished with 402.

o_o

So 500 next year?

He Curry'd the team to the playoffs.

Nice pun but he really didn't. I'd argue Draymond has been just as important.

 

[GatorBait]

So yeah

Steph Curry last year set the all time 3 point single season record with 286

This year, he finished with 402.

o_o

He also sat out an entire 18 fourth quarters, I believe. It's not inconceivable that he could break his record again in a future season with increased minutes.

 

[Fjordson]

He shot over 45% from deep on over 11 attempts per game. Like what the shit. Hilarious.

 

[LyleLanley]

Call me when this loser hits 500 of them in a season.

 

[rokkerkory]

Call me when this loser hits 500 of them in a season.

LOL so salty

 

[Battersea Power Station]

LOL so salty

What?

 

[LyleLanley]

LOL so salty

What?

 

[Pndomo]

It doesn't seem possible with 2 games left.

You were saying?

 

[numble]

You were saying?

It was a stealth edit of a post that said it was possible (based on incorrect math), so I was just replacing it with the reverse statement.

 

[rokkerkory]

Curry hope ur ok

 

[LyleLanley]

Warriors are trash.

 

[shira]

Curry sprains right knee, MRI Monday

Annnnnd this is why you rest your players instead of chasing stupid records

 

[LyleLanley]

MJ would've never sprained his knee in the playoffs.

Popovich, the GOAT.

Here's the play: https://streamable.com/lr4l

Had nothing to do with rest ... just looks like a freak accident because the court was wet

 

[XiaNaphryz]

He slipped on a wet spot on the floor. What does rest have to do with that?

 

[shira]

People get more injuries after spraining ankles. Your overall balance and stability decreases

I'm not saying this was directly related, but if he didn't sprain his ankle earlier, he might have been able to handle this better.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

NBA gaf. Nothing but trash.

It's a freak accident. He slipped on the exact spot another player went down on 1 second before.

Hope it's nothing serious. Houston sucks but that San Antonio Golden State series won't be the same.

Apparently there were complaints before the game started about the same area getting wet.

Also, you can see another player slipping on the court in that same spot before Curry did - he ran over the spot and fell down.

And it was his right ankle that was hurt wasn't it? He slipped on his left foot, the way he slipped I can't see how a healthy right ankle would have made a difference.

It just feels like you're reaching here.

 

[Team Alucard]

The stars have aligned for Durant. No Curry, Bron having his worst season in a decade, the Spuds are the Spuds.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

He hit a wet spot and did the splits at like 15mph directly onto his knee.

 

[xxracerxx]

That fall looked really painful. Yikes.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Nah, we all know how that will end up.

Cue freshprince-durant-westbrook.gif!

Nah man, two weeks of rest at the end of the regular season would have prevented that. He would've noticed the slippery area with his spider-sense abilities at full power, and deftly avoided it!

That's not how it works. He slipped on a wet spot. A healthier ankle wouldn't have made that water disappear before his foot hit the floor.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

That's not how it works. He slipped on a wet spot. A healthier ankle wouldn't have made that water disappear before his foot hit the floor.

See, a fully healthy Curry would have been 9-12 with 25 points by then, and by being so red hot his mere presence would have evaporated any nearby liquids on the court!

So assuming he's out for 6 weeks, Curry's not gonna be available for the WCF. Spurs have to be the favorites now.
