Did Stephen Curry Have a Better Week Than Isaiah Thomas?

If the shooting numbers didn't say enough, the overall efficiency numbers (broken down here game-by-game) provide us with the bottom line.
| nERD | Game 1 | Game 2 | Game 3 | Game 4 | Total | Avg. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curry | 65.25 | 14.50 | 46.05 | N/A | 125.8 | 41.93 |
| Thomas | 44.23 | 57.68 | 6.26 | 19.84 | 128.01 | 32.00 |
In three games (one less than Thomas), Curry just about matched his fellow point guard in terms of total nERD. The gap in average also suggests Curry would make a league-average team nearly 10 points better than Thomas over the course of a game.
So, while everyone's talking about Thomas, Curry had an even better week. By the numbers, he would be the best player of the past week, which isn't surprising given the two MVP awards sitting on his mantle at home.
