Postgame Warriors | Stephen Curry sends a STRONG message to entire team after win over Trail Blazers
A healthy ego of understanding who you are as a player and responding when things don’t go your way it’s what he’s been what we’ve done for our entire careers what he’s you know shown time after time um you got to make certain adjustments and he’s done
That saying let the game come to him make the easy play um we know he can shoot that’ll never um they’ll never leave him so just the the shots he’s taking I mean tonight has some some heat checks in third but you know consistently our ball the
Ball’s moving uh he’s he’s finding good looks and that’s the the Klay Thompson we Know uh hi Steph um another good win for you guys how big will the test be on on Monday when you take on Denver in Denver uh I don’t remember last time we W there probably a couple years we went last year so we mean obviously defending champs know
They’ve um you know been playing well I’m probably back to full strength so Marquee games on Christmas going to be a great atmosphere you know we we’ve we’ve been in in that you environment before so understand what it’s going to be like on the road
It’s going to be fun to you know just compete a test that’s the next one on the schedule though too so you kind of uh understand how they play locking on what we need to do try to go get a win Steph L full breaking down the Warriors win against the Portland
Trailblazers 126 106 another win again for the Warriors not in clutch minutes being able to put on a formidable formidable flurry I think I would say with the language there oh trying to you know like that alliteration a little bit a little bit uh but just really putting
On a strong showing in the beginning of the game and being able to sustain it and when you think about how long and how hard it’s been for the worst to be able to do that you think about what’s been the change yeah and that gets going
In the earlies is kaminga yeah Jonathan kaminga being able to be a bucket getter for the Warriors I’ve been really impressed with the way that he’s adapted to this game we talk about him slowing down in general for you Monty what have you been able to see from him just that
He’s his ratio of good plays versus bad plays is so much better than it was even two a month ago right you know I mean JK was an adventure for much of the first part of the Season where he would do some spectacular stuff one night and
Then the next night he’d be like oh what’s wrong with JK and then are he even in the first quarter he do something like oh JK’s not having a good night then in the third quarter he’d be like whoa JK is back you know so but what you’re seeing is now is more
Consistency in what he does his decision- making is better he’s not trying to do too much at one time right you know and he’s he’s seeing his teammates better than he ever has before that was one of the big issues is like he’d go out there and there would be JK
With the ball and the other four guys would be watching you know and now he’s starting to see those guys and understand that if you don’t have something move it to somebody else correct you know so his evolution is on display right now and it’s a beautiful
Thing to watch if you’re a Warriors fan for sure and you think about what kaminga when you talk about those plays that he’s making and that that adjustment to making the right decision some of those plays were helping out you know Klay Thompson get six of those 10
The threes that he put up but also there’s another person that was contributing and that’s cavon Looney cavon Looney 11 rebounds seven right Kavon Looney exactly he deserved all of that tonight he was phenomenal I mean of course this is only one of two buckets for the night but his thing tonight
Elite passing you want to talk about threading the ball yeah that right there was beautiful and he had 11 rebounds seven assists I mean it was seven assists almost a double double for him in that category yeah Luna is one of those guys who’s easy to overlook among
All these stars because he’s not spectacular he’s a lunch pel guy you know puts on his hard hat and goes to work and that’s that’s his game you saw it on display you know in the postseason last year and year before you seeing now you know these
Last few games you know he hadn’t done a whole lot because Trace has come out kind of emerged and taking some of his minutes but you know what this team is going to need all three of their big men they’re going to need loon because he does something that Dario doesn’t do
They’re gonna need Dario because he does stuff that Trace doesn’t do right they’re gonna need Trace because he does stuff that nobody else can do so watching Lon have a game like this tonight is like very encouraging yes you know um we know he can pass seven
Assists is huge uh 11 rebounds that’s just Lon being you know he did it all and he didn’t need 30 minutes to do it you know so um he’s a guy who play gonna play 20 to 25 minutes that’s the most you know if he goes longer than that
It’s because something else is going on right but um when he’s able to to do his thing like he did today the Warriors are better forward because he’s a sort of a connector on the court for sure and he’s doing a lot of things that Draymond would be doing and so without Draymond
Luna’s kind of saying okay I got to do a little bit more of this and this and this and assisting is a big part of draymond’s game and this non Lun is doing it there you go and he’s filling in that Gap and then also helping on the big aspect of the rebound
Again 49 to 30 on uh excuse me that was yeah 49 to 30 on the boards that’s insane uh in terms of what they’re being able to do when you think about the game coming up Christmas Day against Denver we got a little bit of time I just want
To get your quick opinion on that before we go well Denver first of all they are defending champs it’s real yeah and and they are tough matchup and they’ll be tough match up a tougher matchup than even normal because normally Steve Kirk can switch Draymond and Lon on joic right and
Draymond you know again he’s undersized but he has a way of bothering yic he’s smart yeah he has a way of bothering yic and yic can have some last last year on Christmas yic had like 45 points and 15 rebounds and 15 assist something crazy like that the Warriors can’t have that
So as long as you got somebody defending him uh at a decent level you have a chance to win that game you’re already a pretty good passer obviously coming into this but what have you learned the most maybe from working or uh from playing with Chris Paul about assist and passing
And fing guys yeah I think um me him and Steph are are good at creating advantages for our teammates and just kind of realizing um when I’m out there with Chris a lot of times teams are switching um one through five and so um finding Dario and Trace down low playing against our
Guards and then letting them make the plays out of it is something that’s been working for for us um a great amount and um when Trace is down there and they’re not switching when they have Aiden or or reath in there U just attacking the rim and like I said yesterday um tre’s
Always being an outlet for any of us just kind of got to throw up to the rim over these uh last five wins what have you noticed about the flow and what what’s changed for you guys I think we don’t we don’t care who gets the shot um
I think by me and Jonathan uh guarding the two best players every night I think that kind of you know relieved some stress from um clay and stuff and on offense I think me uh JK and Lon try to do our best and our part um of getting
Them open and getting them some easy looks early in the game so you know when it does come to that time um you know they already feel the rhythm coach said a lot of it it comes from great leadership but you see play out there playing well and to see him
Kind of you know feeling like he’s playing well what does that do for you guys when you’re out there playing with them because you know he’s been up and down but now he’s been kind of consistent in a upward trajectory yeah I think he’s you know he’s playing well
Because he’s playing the right way U I think ever since the LA game you know he’s just had that mindset if two people come to me I know someone’s open and I’ll let my teammates play four on three from there and you know ever since he’s
Done that it it makes it easier for you know and JK to to make shots because you know he draws so much attention and a lot of times we’re just wide open so by Steph and him playing the right way it kind of frees everything up for the rest
Of the guys that are out there time now for our Toyota Drive ahead and this schedule is going to be intriguing here the Denver Nuggets on Monday and Thursday heat cultures in the building d right your for team the Miami Heat Thursday night and then Saturday
See a little Luca little Kyrie Jason kid and the Mavericks they’re playing some good ball and then Tuesday don’t sleep on the Orlando Magic one of the best teams in the East Conference my guy Pao Bank Kon company then you got a back to back with Denver and those mighty mighty Detroit
Pistons tough six game stretch or you could say the first five games of that stretch then I think it comes at the perfect time because you always got to take care of yourself first now the Warriors have their their rotations down the pace and spaces there I think that
The way they’re playing is winning basketball for their you know the style of play is winning basketball for them now with the five game winning streak you got your confidence you got your rotations down take on the big boys yeah I think it’s a great test for this team
You know they’ve been doing so well taking care of home court winning five in a row go see where you are right now against the best teams in the league all right see in Denver we saw him the first time around what do you remember about
