Stephen Curry: injured. JamesOn Curry: still recovering from his tiring 3.9 second stint in the NBA. Eddy Curry: fat. Dell Curry: old. Michael Curry: too much of a role player for anyone to have ever heard of him.
Seth Curry: ready and willing to contribute at a high level for a playoff team.
This is the only Curry we get for the foreseeable future. Unless there’s some unknown Curry in the G-League (I just checked, there isn’t) or some team finds one hanging around Europe somewhere and brings them over, Seth Curry will have to do. Possibly for the whole season, because I don’t think Stephen Curry will return if the Warriors continue being so garbage.
Luckily, it turns out that this particular Curry is enough Curry to get us through these dark times. He’s not been outstanding statistically compared to his last stint in Dallas, but I blame that entirely on Luka Doncic. For all the good that dude does for the Mavericks, he limits the ceiling of all the other players because of how much BALL he gets. Curry can still get it done on offense, though, when they feed him the ball and the other team just decides not to really guard him (I noticed Rip Hamilton was in attendance; he probably was literally crying about how bad the Pistons’ defense was).
30 points for Curry is 1 short of a career-high, a fact that also means I can’t have him visit the Hall-Of-The-Thirty-Point-Scorers. I mean, he can visit any time he wants, but the first time is always the most fun. He might have statpadded a little bit at the end by making a layup with 10 seconds left and the game well in hand, but he deserved those points because of how marginalized he was in the second half. 23 in the first half, only 7 in the second? Eddy Curry never would’ve let that happen.
