Stephen Curry has seemingly been in a glass case of emotion over the past week. He was fined $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece at a fan after being ejected in Game 6, and is clearly struggling mentally. This will carry over into Game 7.

It's no coincidence that Tristan Thompson dominated in Game 6 with Andrew Bogut out. Thompson finished with 15 points and 16 rebounds, and he did a solid job manning the paint on defense. Expect more of the same in Game 7.
