That game was unreal. Curry sinks a 32 footer to win in OT and tie the NBA record for 12 3's in a game. I can only imagine what's going on in the OKC locker room...

Iggy stepped up in the clutch like usual. Barbossa tried to throw the game with his horrible shooting, lol. Couldn't stand him in Boston, and Kerr can't be happy with him throwing up the ball with a full shot clock, with starters on the floor.

I don't see how it's possible to put up 64% from beyond 28 feet with a defender on you. The net is so fucking small from that distance.

We missed like 5 layups in the 4th and OT and still managed to come from behind in both the 4th and OT... course Durant fouling out definitely helped with the OT.

Old timers need to keep disrespecting what Steph is doing. This guy fucking feeds off any criticism.

Klay was fucking great on both ends tonight as well. Instantly one of the most memorable regular season games I've ever watched.

I am sure they are super pissed off, but once they sleep on it, I guess they'll realize you can live with the best team in the league having to summon two miracles and an all time NBA record to beat you. If they face each others in the playoff and the Warriors have to do that several time to win the serie, it's a pretty good situation to be in.

KD always brings the heat against the Warriors. Makes the argument before the game sound silly.

Curry has a decent shot at sinking more 3s this season than the entire Timberwolves team.

That graph is so misleading because he's not really making that many threes. They're half court shots. Good thing there's an out of bounds line, because he'd be making buckets from the bathroom.

Curry doesn't have perfect technique. Sometimes he uses both two hands to propel the ball, sometimes one. Ray Allen had a way of making shots look beautiful, with each being a near mirror image of one another. And still that don't matter...

Well this is interesting.

His release wasn't quite as peculiar -- Marion can look like he's trying to play two-hand bocce with a basketball -- but it originated from the same navel-high location. This was during Curry's sophomore year in high school and, while effective, his flip shot was unsustainable: too easy to block, too methodical. Or so Dell Curry decided. Father forced son to remake his jumper during the core of his high school career, bringing the ball up over his head. It was a risky move. The result, as Steph says, was "the most frustrating summer for me." For a period of months, the kid who'd always been a deadeye shooter was stripped of his greatest skill.

And before someone jumps my ass, he obviously has good form but it's not flawless like some of the other great shooters. He does the two-handed push every now and then. He shoots in one motion and has a very low point of release, which makes his shot a lot faster. He doesn't release at the top of his jump.

I think I've found his secret.

After the game against OKC, the reporter was interviewing Steph Curry and she said something like, "so what was that loud explosion coming from the locker room at half?" (they were down 9)

He looked at her sheeplshly and said, "well, we're a very competitive bunch and nobody on our team wants to lose..." I can only imagine that it was directed @ Barbossa. Fucking Brazils. They're treating the regular season like the playoffs. They really want that record.
