Over the last three games of the Finals last season, Curry shot just 30.8 percent on drives, per NBA.com’s tracking, after shooting 54.5 percent over the first four.

The Warriors star played a significant role in helping the franchise reach the Finals for a third straight year.
Riley also somewhat deflected when asked whether he would be rooting for the James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals that open Thursday against the Warriors.
Draymond Green, Golden State: Already a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, Green could be the first player since Hakeem Olajuwon in 1994 to win Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP in the same season.
Some fail to remember, one of the biggest reasons Durant chose Golden State is because of Curry.
On Thursday, the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to secure a spot in the upcoming NBA Finals with their victory against the Boston Celtics.
Last week, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill paid his respect to LeBron James for becoming the all-time leading National Basketball Association playoffs scoring player. We’re a confident group and we’re playing well, to go 12-1 in the playoffs. The entire game, James contributed 11 points and committed six turnovers. He has a huge wingspan. I wore a leg sleeve on my leg and folded it down so you saw the red part.
Had the Warriors not ousted the Thunder in the 2016 playoffs, it’s likely that Durant would still be in Oklahoma City instead of joining Golden State in free agency. Adding to his great offensive ability, Durant has been averaging 7.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook have the Warriors as a -260 favorite, with the Cavs at +220 – a $100 bet on Golden State would win $38.46, but the same bet on the Cavs would net $220. What’s set to transpire is chapter three of an epic showdown that started during Season 2014-2015, which the GSW won. And during the playoffs it’s been clear that nobody could beat – or honestly contend with – either team. The Warriors are the first to start it 12-0. Even in some of his Finals’ losses, James should have been considered the MVP for just how dominate he was for his team. The Cavaliers, however, are putting up over 120 points per 100 possessions per game, which is better still. They are averaging 118.3 points per game. “I address the team quite a bit”, Kerr said. The Cavs were down 14 in the fourth quarter. It’s time for Stephen Curry to have an all-time series after an average first Finals and a lackluster second one. This in part has a ton to do with James’ gameplay, as he was easing into the conversation as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Those Spurs were motivated all year to face the Heat again for the championship.
The boisterous personality did predict that the Cavaliers will make it a seven-game series, though.
Also this week in the Major League Baseball on Memorial Day: N.Y. Yankees at Baltimore, 10 a.m., ESPN; Washington at San Francisco, 1 p.m., ESPN; Detroit at Kansas City, 4 p.m., ESPN.
Not necessarily. Out of the last five times that a road team has lost Game 1, three of those have won the series. That exact result is +380.

But it still hasn’t led to Kerr feeling well enough to participate in the way he – and everyone else with the Warriors – would like: to have him fully integrated into his job, including patrolling the sidelines during the Finals.
