You could entitle this NBA Finals: The Education of Steph Curry.

Last night's game wasn't him having an 'off night' as he says.

It was a wake-up call to stop being so happy, stop having "silly" practices, save his daughter for the press conference after they win, if they do. They are playing basketball like The Monkees played a rock band.

They have arrived at the Finals. To get past this hurdle, he has to wipe the smile off his face, get the message that he can lose, and unless he wants to spend next season getting back to this place, he'd better get serious.

In some sense the Finals only start tomorrow with Game 3, with the series tied at 1-1.
