Curry time

Thirteen assists, no turnovers and a plus-17.

Add 23 points on 18 shot attempts and you have Stephen Curry, the leader of the Warriors 100-94 win over the Thunder on Sunday at Oracle Arena.

Curry was the best player on the floor in this one. It begs the question, is Curry being unproperly utilized by the Warriors coaching staff?

Or in other words, should Curry have the ball more often than Monta Ellis?

My answer: yes and yes.

Curry IS the Warriors point guard. And because of this, he has more VALUE than Ellis.

At this stage in his career, he's not as good of a defender as Ellis and he may never be the slasher Ellis is.

But Curry can create better than Ellis ever will, and that's what the Warriors need.

The Thunder had no answers, because sometimes, there are no answers.

So give Stephen Curry the ball!
And maybe next year, with the acquistion of Tyson Chandler, the Warriors will be a playoff team.
