Watching Steph Curry last night, I had the opinion that he has begun his decline. Case points: He is about to turn 34 in about a week, is shooting his lowest percentages of his career (from 3 and the field), and generally looks slower.
The Mavs were able to limit him to ZERO FG attempts in the 4th last night, which is unheard of in the past - despite the Mavs aggressive defense on him where they were regularly running a second defender his way. Also, he was targeted multiple times in the clutch on the defensive end - both by Doncic (multiple times), and Din. In a close game where he isn't producing buckets on offense, and is the weakest link of your defense, the Warriors have him to point to as the reason they lost that game.
I just wanted to throw it out there that as we discuss bad contracts in the league going forward, I think he just might have the worst of them all. He is owed $215M+ over the next 4 years that will run out when he is 38! Somehow, I don't see that contract aging well.
The Warriors have a few young studs coming up, (Poole, Kuminga, Moody, and Wiseman are about as nice of a young core that exists in the league!), and they are going to need them with Curry declining, Klay looking like a shell of himself out there (legs looked shot), and Green having a few injury plagued seasons in a row. Can they put together a final push where everything comes together for them? They have been one of my favorite non-Mav teams to watch and it will be sad to see them succumb to father time - who is undefeated.
