Wrong!
Those who highlight the dip in his stats are showing that because he spent all his yrs trying to be this dominant scoring guard even at times when he wasn't the best player on his team has caught up with him. His athleticism is fading and now he has to adjust(remember his crybaby statements to the media?) "I'm not used to playing this way".......we now have to endure him learning how to play the position the right way. And if his scoring is down, which was to be expected(although highlighted by the so called HATERS) the other main point from a HATER'S view......
Why are his AST dropping?
Excuse me I meant
Why are his DIMES dropping
When you write this stuff it makes me wonder if you even watched any Knick games in the last couple of years. You think Steph can't play at a high level anymore? You think his Knee tendonitis is something that prevents him from doing what he used to do? The guy stopped dunking MANY years ago. He's only taken a dip in scoring due to the desires of the last 2 coaches. LB had EVERYONE's numbers go down and Isiah rightfully wants the offense to go thru Curry.
As for his assists going down, that again has to do with the coaching style of LB and Isiah. He's not playing the way he used to. Since they have him giving up the ball early in every possession, there will be fewer times when he makes the direct pass that leads to the basket. However as a team we improved offensively, so his dip is not a negative thing against him. It's a team thing.
You should know if you watch the knicks closely, what kind of sets we run and how the ball moves. Why are you acting like you don't know these things. I honestly don't really respect your comments as much the more you make these kinds of posts. Don't be negative just for the sake of it. Have something valid to offer up next time.
