You can’t think it’s feasible for Jimmy to not even be looking to score? Playoffs will go just like yesterday if that’s the case.

Betting your money on one of the role players to pick up the slack consistently is a losing battle. Jimmy aggressiveness has made them better than with Wiggins but he’s not looking to score & teams see this.

HIS LAST 2 PLAYOFF RUNS
HE TOOK 20 SHOTS PER IN THE PLAYOFFS.
AFTER ONLY TAKING 14 SHOTS PER
IN THE REGULAR SEASON.

HES SHOWN THE ABILITY
TO COAST THEN FLIP THE SWITCH.

ILL GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT UNTIL HE PROVES
OTHERWISE

The shot taking isn’t the biggest issue imo. I’m not saying he should be jacking shots up. He’s shown zero will to score. Majority of his drives are to pass. At least give an effort to score first. That is what will put the defense on edge & get fouls called. GS is fighting & had a real chance to get closer to the 3.

What legit reason can you give for him “coasting” at a crucial time.

You’re refusing to address why he’s playing so passive lol

I’ve been saying this about him for two weeks it’s not just this game. Steph played poorly. Considering the amount of defensive attention he received that makes Jimmy look even worse playing how he did. He has to understand when to turn up.

Even with Curry playing piss poor they were still in the game for a large portion. If they get anything from Butler they might have gotten a win.

The perfect teammate doesn’t see Curry being defended how he was & do nothing
Both of you are going back and forth about a nicca that's about to be 36 years old.




What do you think is more likely?




Jimmy is intentionally being passive...or Jimmy is almost 36 with a ton of mileage and can't give you high level scoring, defense and rebounding from his position anymore?



Folk asking "what's wrong with Jimmy" like he isn't an NBA player on the other side of 35. Guys like Curry, Bron, KD and DeRozan are the EXCEPTION for producing at a high level on the back half of their 30's.

I legit didn't know DeRozan was that old until today. I don't know why I thought he was younger
