Warriors’ Stephen Curry questionable Tuesday against Atlanta

No shot was bigger than the 32-foot 3-pointer he at the buzzer to give the Warriors a 121-118 win.

These are the NBA’s leaders in made three-pointers. With Curry’s record 12 three-pointers made in the Saturday’s hit overtime match-up with the Oklahoma City Thunder, including the incredible game victor from way downtown, one may wonder if there is anything that can stop the Warriors from getting their 73 wins (or more) this season.

“It’s starting to get a little annoying just because it’s kind of unwarranted from across the board”, Curry said late last week on the “Warriors Plus/Minus” podcast with Marcus Thompson II and me. The Warriors trailed by four points with 14 seconds left in regulation after a three-pointer by Durant, who had 37 points and 12 rebounds.

So, no, this isn’t an ideal time for Curry to plant himself on the bench. ” … For the most part, it’s just the flow of the game and having confidence and rhythm”.

With all the praise has come the expected criticism, with some veterans of previous eras trying to justify how the game was superior when they played. They didn’t pick up. Golden State trailed 57-46 at halftime as Durant scored 21 points.

Warriors forward Draymond Green thought Curry had time to get closer to the hoop before the release.

After Gasol went down, the Grizzlies sent Lee to Charlotte and acquired Chris Andersen, Lance Stephenson and P.J. Hairston to add to a locker room that already has colorful personalities like Zach Randolph, Matt Barnes and Tony Allen.

Curry, the league’s scoring leader and reigning MVP, missed about 6 minutes of the third quarter with a left ankle injury. And in the very last moments, Curry shot from what looked like 6 feet back from the three-point line.

If you extrapolate Thompson, Lillard and Harden to full seasons, none would be in the top seven of all-time 3-point seasons. The Hawks held Chicago to 36.4 percent shooting Friday in a 103-88 win, then played their stingiest game of the season by limiting Charlotte to 33.3 percent in Sunday’s 87-76 victory.
