The Warriors Problem

The Golden State Warriors are facing much adversity in these playoffs this season. So far Demarcus Cousins has suffered an injury that has him out currently, with a chance of him returning during this post season. The fact that Kevin Durant might leave during the offseason isn't helping, and that if the Warriors won't offer Klay Thompson a max contract he will leave for the Clippers has created a distraction. However, with all of this the Warriors could easily win this playoffs. The biggest problem facing them this offseason is Stephen Curry. 

Stephen Curry has been a shell of himself this series against the Rockets. Curry is responsible for them losing game 3, as he missed a huge layup and missed dunk to end the game. Curry can't hit a wide open shot, and is constantly missing layups. Stephen Curry keeps getting wide open 3 point catch and shoot shots, and he keeps missing them. Curry will cut to the rim and miss the wide open layup. When he is being defended, Austin Rivers has been an excellent defender on him. Rivers has been making Curry turn the ball over and making him take contested shots. 

Stephen Curry should take a page out of Dwayne Wade's book from the LeBron Miami Heat teams. Kevin Durant is getting the MVP chants and has risen to another level, while Curry has taken a step back. Curry needs to realize that for this post season it is Kevin Durants team and he is the 2nd best player. This isn't like the last few years were they have been considered equals or no matter how well Kevin Durant plays this is Curry's team. This year it is Durant's team and Curry needs to realize that before it is too late. 

Now with Kevin Durants injury the Warriors might not need to worry about this issue anymore. Stephen Curry might not need to adjust his game, but take his game up another level. If Durant is hurt and out for the rest of the playoffs then this would be Curry's best, and possibly last change, for him to win a Finals MVP.
