Winston Churchill once said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Well playas…ole Steph Curry paid his bill and then some on Sunday night. Not only did he lead the Golden State Warriors past the Cleveland Cavaliers 122-103 but he did it like a straight up G. Ole boy put up a game high 33 points but the way he did it was the most impressive.
He knocked down an NBA record nine 3-pointers to surpass Ray Allen’s record of 8 in a Finals game but it wasn’t like he just dropped them durin’ the course of the game and that was it bruh. He put daggers into Cleveland when it hurt the most.
Golden State shot the ball well all night but couldn’t seem to shake the Cavaliers even when they looked like deer in head lights in the first quarter. After the first eight minutes of the game Curry and his boyz as a team were still shootin’ 90 from the field and 50 percent from behind the arc and was only up 4 points. That’s NUTS!!
They are the best team in the league in the third quarter at explodin’ on a boy and they were outscored 34-31 by LeBron and Co. that were still hangin’ around.
So let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Steph pulled the golden wrist out on a boy and unloaded in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 of his 33 points knockin’ down 5 of his nine 3-pointers in the final period to help the Warriors bury the Cavaliers.
Now they’re up 2-0 headed to Cleveland for Games 3 and 4. Yeah, I know that LeBron and Co. came back from a 2-0 deficit against Boston but this ain’t Boston bruh. These cats are the defendin’ champs and they’ve won two out of the last three titles. One thing is for sure and two is for certain, experience and veteran leadership trumps everything else in the playoffs. They’ve been here before and they’ve got crazy confidence in closin’ a boy out. Did I mention that they’ve got shooters all over the floor? Well I just did.
And yeah, we’ve seen LeBron come back from a 3-1 deficit against these same Warriors less KD but he at least had Kyrie to hep him out. Now he’s relyin’ on Kevin Love and duns like JR Smith that can’t keep up with what the score is. That’s a problem playa.
Down 2-0 and you’re averagin’ 40 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds is tough to swallow especially when a dun is knockin’ down threes like Curry just did. What more can the Philistine do but take it like a G and move on.
Now don’t get it twisted, I’m still interested in seein’ how he’s goin’ to go down swingin’ but he’s goin’ down because there’s way too much fire power in Golden State’s locker room for him not to. Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Put it where the goats can get it: verb phrase – to make it as elementary as possible. To put it at ground level so everyone can understand it.
3) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
