In the past, the offense GSW could generate with their role players (Iggy, Livingston, Barnes, Draymond, etc) was respectable enough where Curry (or Klay) blacking out vs opposing teams was a "death sentence". i.e. 2016 GS scored 115ppg (#1 that year)...league medium was 107ppg.
Now in 2024, GSW still averages 115ppg... but they're now ranked 15th in offense, middle of the pack. The top teams score around 120-123ppg. It went from a luxury to now a necessity for Curry to go off to keep them competitive.
