The Ghost of Jack Tripper
Did you watch the game? Because it sounds like you didn't. You just made up a narrative about his performance.
When Steph exited the game in the 1st quarter, the Warriors only had 1 assist as a team. That assist was Steph's. They only had 3 assists, in total, in the 1st quarter, going down 15-37. They weren't hitting their shots because they got completely overwhelmed on both sides of the floor.
Why the fukk would he focus on passing when they were down by 20, 30, 40+ points?
More to the point - the Warriors pass the ball until they create the best shot, it's not just one person passing and then someone shooting. That's not how their offense works.
All this here.
People have to realize that all HOF had 0-7 nights, at some point.
That's just a part of the game. You're gonna have those kinda nights. That's not an indictment on a player of Steph's caliber. GS has issues to work out, but Steph can't be the savior every single night out there for them. There are players on that team that drive me crazy with their body language and lack of energy every single game (Wiggins).
One thing I can say about Steph is, I never watched a game and thought he wasn't giving it everything he had. There are gonna be off nights. Anybody that's ever played competitive organized ball knows that. You learn and pick it up next game you're on the floor. But this game was a bad outing collectively. This wasn't on one dude.
