I went tot he GSW game last night and was struck by the difference in reactions to the 2 players by the fans. While the pre-game cheers were about equally loud, the pitch was different.
The screams for Monta were lower pitched, more gruff and masculine- they felt entrenched, like te crowd took ownership of him in spite of what the national media might think. He’s given his heart and soul for the team this year (and last night where his stat line looked bad but he played as good a defense on Kobe as you’ll see) and they appreciate that effort even if it hasn’t done much for the W/L columns.
The screams for Curry, on the other hand, were higher pitched; manic, as though he had exceeded their beaten down expectations for this terrible season. He was the bright spot.
The ultimate takeaway to me was that they cheered for Ellis tragically, while they cheered for Curry as the potential savior.

Curry is just amazing. I haven’t wanted to get to hyped on him but watching him play is just awesome. He can hit a multitude of shots, all of varying difficulty and now he is makign some ridiculous passes. Him and Ellis are quick and score easily – however, don Nelson is gonna burn them out playing them 45 minutes a game the past few weeks.

Then you have to pick Curry, he doesn’t pout & doesn’t gun at the wrong time. Curry is a gym rat with a high basketball IQ. Monte is the fastest in the NBA, but so what he pouts, & his more of me first guy.
