Chef Curry hasn’t been cooking all that well

The three-pointer is oft referred to as a prayer, depending on who shoots it and how. As much as Stephen Curry's earth shattering accuracy has desensitized us the ridiculous shots which he makes look like a layup, the fact remains that the 3 point shot is one that takes incredible precision to execute, and the Gods aren't listening to the Warriors right now.

Game 1 was quite close as the Thunder inched a 6 point win. Curry shot just 9 of 22 in that contest. The Warriors as a whole shot 11 of 30 from three-point range, while the Thunder attempted just 17 3s and made 8. In Game 3, Curry again came up short as he shot just 3 of 11 from beyond the arc. He had 24 points but was a -39 for the game. In Game 4 Curry shot just 6 of 20.

The Warriors cannot be their otherworldly selves if the three ball isn't falling. And the Thunder are taking full advantage of that.
