Steph Curry: Will he step up?
While Lee hit the game-winner tonight, we can’t underestimate Steph when it comes to making these big shots. He has one of the most famous regular-season game-winners in the history of the sport.
Along with that, his shooting is a strength that seems to never wane. While his team is riddled with injuries for a second consecutive season, Steph has an opportunity to show he can carry a team.

The NBA this season has a murderers’ row of competition to get playoff spots. You could argue that 10-11 teams have playoff calibre rosters in the Western Conference. At the end of the day, only 8 will get a chance to play in the post-season.
The Warriors had the worst record in the league last season, but that was with Steph injured as well. Now that he is here with the number one overall pick and a solid (expensive) roster around him, it is time for him to lead from the front.
