If anything, I think narrative will hurt Curry.I think the narrative will help Curry's chances. He'll have to go supernova to have the Warriors in the Playoffs with KD gone and Klay injured. If he can average decent numbers around 30/5/6 and the team makes the payoffs he'll win it
Unless they finish as a top 4 seed (they won't) the sentiment will be "couldn't do it without help".
