More importantly, did Curry gain a heart? Or will we just see more of this:

That one wasn't his fault because he was boxing out Jefferson then when the ball bounced off the rim heading to the left Robinson was able to run in and tip the ball in quicker than Curry was able to leave Jefferson and box out Robinson. Jefferies who was Jeffersons man should have been looking to box out Robinson and seal the left side off since Curry was sealing off the middle from Jefferson.
I disagree. I was at the game and Curry was in the wrong position for the rebound and then made a half assed attempt to grab it when Robinson snuck up from behind and got it in. Curry had no awareness of Robinson's position at all. Bottom line: he choked.
Since you were at the game you have the advantage. But watching the tons of replays of the play after watching the game. And putting focus on Curry and how he got beat. I saw him put his body on Jefferson then when the ball bounced off the rim he left Jefferson to go after the rebound only to get beat out by Robinson. To me it wasn't that Curry was just standing there and Robinson jumped over him and out worked him. It was the fact that he was boxing out Jefferson in the middle and the ball bounced to the left which gave Robinson the advantage since the left side was open. If the ball bounced straight then Curry would have had the rebound easy. Plus if my memorie servies me correct. Robinson ran in for the tip in which is why he was free and not boxed out because he was away from the jam packed paint when the ball was shot & he ran in.
So I guess the disagreement is that I think I saw Curry trying to box Jefferson out. While you saw Curry just take the wrong positioning when the ball was shot. I do agree that he had no awareness of where Robinson was though. But I also credit that to Robinson sneaking in from the outside. Rather than standing in the paint with everyone else.
I was trying to find the play on youtube but I couldn't find it.
