Whereas J.R. Smith’s gaffe was the talk of game 1, Steph Curry owned game 2. Wrote one fan: “Before Steph Curry, the two best three point shooters I ever watched were Reggie Miller and Ray Allen (having not been old enough to watch Larry Bird). Steph is the greatest shooter I’ve ever seen.” As with Smith, Curry found himself the subject of jokes on Twitter. They were favorable to him, though:
Some people imagined the reaction of Cavaliers fans to the Steph Curry three-point shots:

Here are the reactions from some other fans:
“Steph Curry is one of the greatest shooters we have ever witnessed. Wow.”
“It must be truly demoralizing trying to block a player who can basically take two back steps from anywhere and make it!”
A night to remember for the best shooter in NBA history ever. #StephCurry
“Michael Jordan, Shaq, Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett and Steph Curry have changed the game the most in the last 30 years.”
“Steph Curry is immense. Wow.”
“@StephenCurry30 OMG bruh! You are the best shooter i have ever seen. Love your game and most of all your Faith and proud of it. Game 2 Please stand up!!!”
“Steph Curry seems to choose his reaction emotions at random. Open 2pt off an offensive rebound to go ahead by 9: “WHOO!!! I’M A MANIAC!!” Off-balance 3pt to seal the game: ‘this is boring, and I’m pretty tired.'”
“Kevin Love’s not going to be able to guard Steph Curry in Cleveland, in Golden State, on the moon, anywhere…”
