NBA Playoffs 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors, Game 1

#1 Too much Steph

Curry was 9-15 from the 3PT line in this match

There is no chance of the Blazers getting anything from this series if they continue to employ the same tactics that they implemented on Steph Curry in this match.

Curry is an all-time great player and possibly one of the best shooters that the world has ever seen. Since Durant left with his injury, Curry has scored 45 points in two fourth quarters against the Houston Rockets. He was again at his best in the match against the Blazers.

Curry hit 12 of 23 shots and tied his playoff career high by hitting 9 of 15 3-pointers on his way to 36 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, one steal and just one turnover. He struggled for consistency in the first four matches of the Western Conference semis, but has been lighting it up ever since.
