Stephen Curry Back To MVP Form

Stephen Curry starting this playoffs rocky, with most people questioning what happened to him? Curry and Kevin Durant have had this really weird play this playoffs, where they are viewed as equals but more as this is Durant's team. This has caused a dynamic we haven't seen with this Warriors team where it has hurt Curry's play on the court, but since Durant has been out Curry has been on a tear.

In the first game without Durant, everyone thought the Warriors would ultimately lose to the Rockets. Stephen Curry wouldn't allow this to happen as he scored 33 points, and had 5 rebounds and 4 assists in that game. The Warriors went on to win that game 118-113. Curry scored all 33 of his points in the second half and had some extremely clutch shots.

When it was announced that Kevin Durant would miss the first few games agains the Trailblazers everyone thought it was going to be an extremely hard series for the Warriors, no one was predicting a sweep. Stephen Curry was historic this round, averaging 36.5 points, 7.3 assists, and 8.3 rebounds per game, he even recorded a triple double in the final game. Stephen Curry now has the most points ever scored in a Four-Game Sweep. Curry has 146 points beating out Hall Of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, who had 145 points in the 2002 Finals against the New Jersey Nets. We've never seen Stephen Curry take over an entire series like this before and it's very concerning for whoever comes out of the Eastern Conference. If Curry remains this hot we could be looking at him finally capturing his first ever Finals MVP. Stephen Curry was an absolute monster in this series and couldn't be stopped.

When he was guarded by his brother Seth, Stephen had 29 points, he shot 9-14 field goals and shot 4-8 from 3 point land. Seth only had 3 points and went 1-7 field goals and 1-6 from 3 point land when Stephen was guarding him. He completely outplayed his brother and even hit 2 back to back clutch free-throws when Seth tried to jinx him. In the 4th quarter and overtime Stephen hasn't missed a free-throw in the playoffs since 2015 and Seth told him this to jinx him, but it didn't work.

Stephen Curry is playing some of the best basketball he has ever played, in the playoffs. He is setting himself up to win his first ever Finals MVP and is getting ready to tear apart whoever he has to play in the Finals. Since Kevin Durant has been injured, Stephen Curry looks like the best player in these Conference Finals.
