In two games in the Western Conference Finals, Stephen Curry has been well below his best and is in the midst of a shooting slump. The three-point marksman has uncharacteristically struggled from beyond the arc and is shooting just 15 percent in the series so far. He has shot 2-of-13 from deep over the two encounters and was just 1-of-8 in Wednesday night's Game 2 where he posted 16 points. It's rare to see the two-time MVP struggle so badly shooting the ball but nobody on the Warriors is concerned. Speaking about his teammate's dip, Kevin Durant brushed it off and said he'll never lose confidence in the sharpshooter. "I knew the next couple days were going to be about Steph struggling shooting the ball," Durant said, per NBC Bay Area. "But that's the last thing I'm worried about with Steph. I've got so much confidence in him on the offensive side of the basketball, as far as shooting the ball."I look at him and, I said this way before (media) even said it, ‘He's the best shooter that ever played.' So I've got confidence in him on that side. I think we all do, all the fans and all the players."Durant has picked up the slack as he scored a combined 75 points in the two games and was the go-to guy on the offensive end all the time for the defending champions. He was the only Dubs player to have enjoyed a good outing in Game 2 as he scored 38 in their crushing 127-105 loss in Houston. 

KD credits the Rockets for the defensive job they've done on Curry but he expects him to find his groove again.

"They're switching out a lot, doing a solid job of switching out," Durant said. "But he's doing a good job of driving to the rim. He may have missed a few threes. But if we worry about missed threes with Steph Curry...

"Just the talk of him on the offensive side of the ball, let's give that a rest because he's Steph Curry," Durant said. "Who are we even worried about?

"As his teammate, I expect nothing but greatness out of him. That's how everybody should look at Steph."

In the six games since he returned from his knee injury, Steph has shot 36.2 percent from three-point territory.

He hasn't really got going in the conference finals but the point guard believes he just needs to see one shot go through the hoop to feel like himself again. 

"I only need one," he said. "That's all I need. I have confidence in myself. My teammates have confidence in me to do what I need to do."

The 30-year-old is surely due to go off at some point and the Warriors will certainly hope it'll be in Sunday night's Game 3 at Oracle Arena.
