...I don't think he realized it was game 7 of the finals until it was over. Dude was playing detached and reckless like he was hooping at a rec. I saw him casually goofing around on dead balls just throwing the ball at the rim in like the 3rd fukking quarter. It's like he wasn't even taking the game serious. He rarely pushes the ball now. He just gets it and casually dribbles up the court. There were times where he was close to 8 seconds he took so long to dribble the ball over the half court line. It's this too cool for school shyt that has affected every area of his game...
Perhaps he was not playing it cool. Maybe he was tired enough to GIVE UP on trying to figure out a way to win a 4th game. Shooting magical 3s while double and triple teamed is difficult. I would need more than 8 seconds to do so after playing defense.
But maybe Steph forced loose body movements because he felt so tense inside. Some folks use visualization to psych themselves out of apprehension and anxiety. Curry's dance moves and shoulder waggles could be his way of giving himself perspective and easing his tension. That shyt worked for him during the regular season. "Dance with the one that brought ya." None of it worked in the finals. All of it failed in the finals.

Draymond Green called Lebron a "bytch" during trash talk. Lebron left him in tears ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. I cannot get over this comeback story.
