Seth Curry was ultra-hot from the threezone in the second quarter of this game, hitting four triples (including three of them on back-to-back possessions, a feat which I feel like has to be uncommon as eff), but he only scored two points outside of the second quarter, and none in the second half. I could blame Terry “Hairy Scrotes” Stotts, or Damian “Lameian Brickard” Lillard, or Curry himself for the lack of scoring in the second half, but I don’t actually know who I should blame right now.
One thing I do know is that the theoretically lesser Curry brother just had a better playoff game than Steph did in game 3 against the Rockets. Sure, Steph scored one more point this his brother, but he shot the ball 23 times and embarrassingly missed a dunk which could have given the Warriors a chance in the waning seconds. All Seth did was play in his role, hit some shots, then go back to the bench and dap up his teammates for the rest of the game. That’s really all you want him to do, and he did it.
This concrete example of Seth being better than Steph is mildly entertaining and will probably propagate around the internet in due time. However, we shouldn’t let our ironic praise of Seth go overboard; he is, after all, just a shortish shooting guard who doesn’t do anything except shoot. Steph might come back and score forty in a game. When was the last time Seth did that?
Then again, when was the last time Seth missed a dunk? High school?
