Stephen Curry has turned into a star this season for the Golden State Warriors and just might surpass Tyreke Evans when it comes to the Rookie of the Year Award.  Evans has definitely had a more consistent season and is still averaging 4.3 more points per game than Curry, but Curry has continued to improve throughout the season and has put up some monster games.  This season Curry is averaging 16.0 points, 5.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals.  Evans’ and Curry’s numbers are pretty close in every category, with Evans averaging 20.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals.  They have a much different style than each other, with Evans using his strength to get to the hole and Curry using his deceptive moves and silky smooth outside shot.  Curry can take a game over with his shooting ability, and is already one of the best three-point threats in the league while Evans has not yet added that to his game.  Although Evans is still the front-runner for the ROY Award and will likely win, Curry is making things interesting and is definitely the more exciting player to watch.  Unfortunately his great play has not amounted to too many wins for the Warriors, but Evans is also on a pretty bad team himself.

The Warriors didn’t play any defense last night as the Magic shot 52.2% from the floor and they didn’t hit the glass either as the Magic outrebounded them 58-29. It’s no reason that the Magic pounded them last night. C.J. Watson led the way for the Warriors last night with 18 points, 3 assists and 4 steals. Anthony Morrow pitched in with 16 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals last night. Ronny Turiaf got another start at center last night and he finished up with 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocked shots in only 23 minutes on the court. Rookie forward Reggie Williams pitched in with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in 36 minutes last night. The Warriors are now 17-43 on the season.

The undermanned Warriors shot 51.2% from the floor last night but they got outrebounded 50-35 and that hurt them badly in the end. Anthony Morrow led the way for the Warriors last night with 24 points and 7 rebounds. C.J. Watson replaced a injured Monta Ellis in the starting lineup and he responded with 20 points, 2 rebounds and 6 steals. Stephen Curry had another solid game for the Warriors with 18 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals last night. Ronny Turiaf (15 points), Anthony Tolliver (10 points) and forward Reggie Williams (10 points) all pitched in for the Warriors offensively last night. The Warriors are now 17-42 on the year.

23-year old center Andris Biedrins is out indefinitely with a groin injury. Biedrins is also in Don Nelson’s Dog House for some reasons. Biedrins has played in 33 games (29 starts) for the Warriors this season and he is averaging 23.1 minutes, 5.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocked shots per game. Anthony Tolliver will likely get the biggest bump in minutes with Biedrins on the shelf. Tolliver has played in 20 games (9 starts) for the Warriors this season and he is averaging 27.5 minutes, 10.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The Warriors need him to keep up the good work.

Stephen Curry has really stepped his game up in February. Curry has played in 10 games this month for the Warriors and he is averaging 38.4 minutes, 20.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Curry is making a late move for the Rookie of the Year Award with his main competition being Tyreke Evans of Sacramento. Curry has now played in 56 games (53 starts) for the Warriors this season and he is averaging 35.1 minutes, 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He is also a good shooter from everywhere on the court as he is hitting 45.8% from the floor, 40.7% from three point range and 87.3% from the free throw line this season. Curry and Monta Ellis give the Warriors one of the most exciting backcourts in the whole NBA.
