‘I Hate Losing To Them!’ Stephen Curry On Warriors Loss Against Russell Westbrook And Clippers

‘I Hate Losing To Them!’ Stephen Curry On Warriors Loss Against Russell Westbrook And Clippers

What do you think just went went wrong in the last eight minutes uh I started with my turnover and they got a M1 and then every possession felt a little um of congestion offense and then that fed into our defense definitely didn’t help the situation at all we gave up too many Corner

Threes um too many offensive rebounds it was just a quick momentum change that they took advantage of obviously they hit shots they had five threes I think Norm had four coffee had one I gave up coming off St side quarter so um it was a tough one just played really well for 42

Minutes and then you know they’re a really good team that has some confidence and we’re still trying to prove that we’re you know that type of team and didn’t get it done Steph why why is the why is the helping out on a strong side corner like a

Perennial thing is it is it scheme is it players just kind of falling asleep and is it as pre prevalent as it looks like when you when you guys are going over a film do you do you figure it out more times than you not and it just feels to

Us like you guys make that same mistake a lot um I mean tonight I came out strong side on coffee they had Zub box running off their pick and roll he was getting in the middle and kind of spraying it to either side really that’s kind of a a symptom

Of feeling like there’s threats all over and you’re overreacting to certain things and you’re trying to do the right thing and you know be in a spot to help but it may be a situation where help’s not needed and then the Quick Pass to the corner and they’re taking advantage

Of it you know obviously we’re undersized at most most nights and so the tendency is to you know try to crowd the paint to give help but it’s a tonight they made us pay sometimes you can close out and you know late contest and doesn’t hurt you but if the team’s making

Them a night like tonight can happen step how how much can you say about Brandon this this first half and just just tonight I mean getting up there and rebounding against plumbley and getting um you know taking charges and and all the little things he does

That have made his first half of his rookie season pretty spectacular he knows how to play he’s fearless and does a lot of the little things that impact winning even though I mean he had 25 tonight and was amazing on both ends of the floor even when he

Doesn’t have the St that line there’s still a connection in both sides of the ball that he just finds a way to make the right play so some of the stuff you can teach some that you can you just have a feel and he’s he sees the

Pictures really well um this early in his career and it’s pretty impressive um what he’s been able to do uh Steph you guys have one more game coming up on the road but how would you evaluate how you guys have done at home in the first half of the

Season if I’m not mistaken we’re probably like 500 at home 14 14 huh 14 and 14 so we’re very average very average doesn’t get it done in this league so you got to you know we need to make a run hopefully get bounced back tomorrow and then you know after the allstar

Break hit a stride that you win every game here and steal some on the road that’s the formula but we’ve been very average so far so got to regain that home court fear that we’ve you know been accustomed to in the past Steph you mentioned tomorrow night’s game and Brandon said

Earlier that losing tonight makes it even more important to get tomorrow night I mean you guys have obviously had some momentum a surge here going how essential in your mind is it to to regain that tomorrow as opposed to you know going to the break with with two

Losses I think either way tonight would have went we would have said the same thing about tomorrow like either you’re trying to keep the streak going not have uh any missteps down you know before the break and now it’s same Mission but a different mindset of you know bouncing

Back and feeling good going into you know six day break or whatever it is so very very very very important game um to say the least Steph you and James are obviously the same draft Russ was 08 PG was 20110 I know you don’t have a great

Feeling after a game like this but what’s it like to still have battles like this with guys you came into the league with or came into the league around the same time as you yeah it’s always special um you know espe me and James like you said the same

Draft spent a lot of time with him um at the uh what is it called the Nate Smith thing we did in college at the final four we went up there hung out a lot obviously the draft experience had a lot of battles back and forth over the years

Um you know Russ in there like you said PG so we’re all still trying to play at a high level talked about it with braon KD guys that been around for a very long time and names in this league that are still trying to play at a high level so

There’s a lot of mutual respect there’s a lot of competition too hate losing to them I think they feel the same way so we going to keep doing it kaminga didn’t have a a bad scoring night but it was maybe a little less Dynamic uh than others are you seeing defenses playing

Him differently is it a little more focus on him and and how have you seen him or do you see him kind of adjusting to that that’s a natural progression of becoming you know that guy that instills a little fear in a coaching staff when they’re scouting the team and trying to

Understand your Tendencies they have a very unique defensive style they you know T’s great at in-game adjustments and does a lot of things to try to you know mies up the game and different looks so not a surprise that you know there was um kind of kind of a slower type of

Night but I think he’s done an amazing job JK has of staying patient staying aggressive though at the same time and finding you know his spots and continue to build that confidence that he’s that guy that he can you know change a game for us on both both ends of the floor but

Especially offensively so one night’s not going to get him down it’s just a matter of continue to to get better oh hi Steve uh Happy Valentine’s Day and the love between you and AAR that’s just always like admirable and that’s let me know that love is not like

The result love is the process and come on you preaching out like like the basketball game right and do you have any suggestion like how can we get have the relationship and like you and all your sh that is uh no I love my wife for sure there’s

Uh we’re not up here trying to preach anybody about what relationship goals really look like we just live our lives um and support each other so yeah appreciate the uh the compliments hopefully we uh we keep doing it uh you you are up to I think about 14

Threes uh this month it feels like taking attempts uh it feels like you’re taking a lot more is this a a product of fresh legs and do you remember at all the uh post All-Star break turnup where that used to be your thing and is it is it done now

Um I mean the upt it’s obviously there’s confs cuz it’s going in but it’s also figuring out where I can get those looks cuz there’s a period where you know especially without Draymond defenses were trying to take that away and send you know a crowd and but you I have a

Lot of counters you know for that when he’s out there especially but you know our team is trying to figure out how to get the ball moving when I draw you know attention like that but if I get good looks um and the number say shoot that’s what I’ll do

Do thankfully I’m hitting them at a high clip and um whatever again each game is a different and you approach it with seeing what the defense is going to give you and if it’s you know shoot 14 plus threes I’m going to definitely do that and hopefully you make you know

Your fair share of them obviously you know I like to be efficient when I’m doing that so that’s always a standard but I don’t know about the patterns of the season I always have like a little down period December is and usually come back uh we did have a a long break

Unfortunately in there Where uh we might have got a little fresh physically but you know it’s long season you just take the ABS and flows and stay even killed throughout the whole process shoot shots that you normally shoot you might have heard or seen the report this morning that your owner made a a bid for

A fairly large uh big named player not asking you specifically about that but does it ever surprise you when you hear about your team you know fishing in the deep water here you know for anybody they can get at the the top top top of the game no

I’m never surprised it’s always a surprise that stuff like that gets out cuz I’m assuming that every team is making calls that if every fan or every fan base or uh you know Media Group would know about it would maybe normalize the conversations that happen you know in

The front office especially around the trade deadline um when you’re exploring around the league who’s available who’s not and gauging interest on that so obviously a guy like Braun who’s you would probably call just to see I don’t know what the depths of those conversations were but uh that was a

Nice little surprise this morning for sure let do this one more we got to catch a I know before the game you finally were able to make your opposite tunnel shot um despite the loss it was kind of a viral moment before the game was that

A pretty cool moment for you would that break towards the top of your kind of pregame warm up moments there I shoot that shot once whenever the opposing team switches into of the floor um first time I’ve ever made it so it was nice to get the juices flowing before the game

But don’t really think about it after that
