Per Doris Burke, Steph Curry does not "feel well" tonight. So sorry to hear. Serious question: Does any NBA star get more preferential treatment/coverage than Curry? Every time he misses a jumper, someone has some excuse for why it doesn't go in.




This tweet is spot on. I, for one, am sick of the media not calling out Steph.

Hmm, let’s see here, he’s damn good at basketball, one of the biggest faces in the league, has two MVP seasons, 3 NBA championship titles, and is in the Finals for the 5th straight year.....so it naturally become news every time he cuts one and the smell is off.

Nothing to see or read into here. Big star getting big attention from thirsty reporters.

Brother they beat Toronto on the road with their top player not playing and next best not feeling well and you think he cost them somehow? Plus he came back onto the court with 4 points and helped them grab the lead in the 3rd scoring 14 quick ones.

They play as a team and have the luxury of letting others dish out the pain as Draymond and Klau did tonight when needed.

It is getting more and more difficult to defend even Jordan's teams against this well oiled machine proving that team basketball with fundamentals wins ball games.

Beautiful basketball to watch and Draymond is fun as hell to watch play the game. Old school mixed with new school on this squad and many don't even enjoy it when it won't be around but possibly a few more years possibly.

Klay gets more preferential treatment than Steph. Klays bad games are not even acknowledged. Klay has not ever taken even a little heat for his poor performances.

Unless I'm mistaken, they pointed out that he wasn't feeling well very early in the game. It's not like he had a poor shooting performance, and then we hear that he wasn't feeling well before the game.

Klay isn’t the alpha of the team

You’re right he is the fourth best player on the team. but look at last night. He hurts himself trying to get a foul on a three pointer kicking his leg out and the news after the game is how he was trash talking drake behind his back.

Klay is an after thought and slides right by his bad performances because no one in the media seems to care. Steph on the other hand....how many times have you guys heard Jackson/Van Grundy say “he just doesn’t look right”.

Looked more like a hip check that threw off his balance.

Seemed pretty clear Steph wasn't right. Especially early his energy level was low. I wasn't looking shots going in or not to determine that but how he was cutting and moving without the ball.

Klay was better than Steph last night.

Watching the replay, I'm not sure why he kicked his leg out. There wasn't anyone there to make contact with. I guess just hoping the awkward landing would make it look like he was bumped from the other side?

This tweet doesn't really make sense.

The media basically always reports when they get wind of a player not feeling well. What is different about reporting it for Steph Curry?

He wasn’t even on the court at games end due to his stupidly trying to draw a foul. Lucky for him, kawhi couldn’t beat the warriors with no Durant OR no Thompson in his home court.

I assume you're trolling being a Rockets/Harden fan and critizing a player for kicking his leg to try to draw a foul.

Harden knows how to land in such a way that doesn't get him injured....bubba.

Imagine if anyone other than klay had done that. what would the response have been. Klay gets the preferential treatment more than Steph absolutely.
