And like I said, just try to create space for him, make the game easier for him. Just keep the game simple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be able to run two, three guys at a player the entire game without having to pay for it.

And when the Mavericks were in Wednesday, they took full advantage of both Kyrie Irving, who is unvaccinated and unavailable at home, and Curry being sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>Durant faced constant double-teams any time he got the ball across half court, sometimes even getting blitzed by a third defender. The result was a Nets loss as a frustrated Durant was held to 40.0 percent shooting, his worst since Nov. 30.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>In his return Friday, Curry ensured that didn\u2019t h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en again.<\/p>\n<p>The most accurate active 3-pointer shooter in the NBA, Curry\u2019s gravity spaced the floor and made sure the Trail Blazers couldn\u2019t double Durant with impunity. And Curry punished them when they did.<\/p>\n<p>In his most potent scoring performance as a Net, Curry had a season-high 27 points on 9-for-14 shooting, including white-hot 7-for-11 from behind the arc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was huge \u2026 he had 27, 9-for-14, efficient from all angles on the floor,\u201d Durant said. \u201cWe needed that, and it was good to see him back out there. Missed a few games with that ankle, but I\u2019m glad it\u2019s getting better and he\u2019s able to come out here and play. And we needed all those points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That same could be said ever since the Nets acquired Curry from Philadelphia at the Feb. 10 trade deadline. His plus-50 since that point trails only Durant and Irving on the Nets.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if Ben Simmons, the centerpiece of the deal with the 76ers, will suit up at all in the regular season. But Curry is averaging 16.8 points with the Nets, and hitting 47.6 percent from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s just a really good NBA player,\u201d coach Steve Nash said. \u201cHe\u2019s an elite shooter who can score off the bounce, can handle in pick-and-roll, and has a high IQ. He adds a lot to our team. Obviously, we needed all of his points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curry\u2019s career .4392 percentage from deep is third-best all time, and just edges injured teammate Joe Harris (.4390) for the best among all active players. And that kind of elite floor spacing transforms the Nets\u2019 offense when he plays.<\/p>\n<p>Without Curry on the floor, the Nets entered Saturday with an offensive rating (113.5) that was tied for seventh in the league and an effective field-goal percentage (.533) that was tied for 13th. Their 119.3 and .567 marks with Curry playing were both runaway leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Curry is under contract for $8.6 million for next season, and extension eligible, so it\u2019s hard to overstate how important he is to the Nets right now.<\/p>\n<p>With Irving only eligible for three more games this regular season, keeping Curry on the floor is even more vital. Though he has suffered ankle pain since before his arrival in Brooklyn, and he logged 38 minutes on Friday, Curry insisted he can muddle through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was dealing with it probably a month before the trade. It\u2019s been a while. It\u2019s something I\u2019m just going to have to manage and deal with until the offseason,\u201d Curry said. \u201cIt\u2019s not something that\u2019s going to go away. So as long as it\u2019s not getting worse, I should be good.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
