Twitter roasted Steph Curry over awful start in Game 6

Stephen Curry entered Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals shooting just 26.2 percent from three-point range against the Rockets in the series, and the two-time league MVP was expected to carry the Warriors with Kevin Durant out due to a leg injury.

The Warriors and Rockets entered the locker room tied 57-57, but Curry was held scoreless in the first half, and played limited minutes after picking up two fouls in the first six minutes of the game. Splash Bros. partner Klay Thompson stepped up with 21 points in the first half to buoy the Warriors, who were forced to rely on Kevon Looney, Quinn Cook and Shaun Livingston to play significant minutes.

[UPDATE]: Curry had the last laugh on Friday, scoring 33 points in the second half and exploding in the final minutes to end the Rockets’ season and send the Warriors to the Western Conference Finals.
