Every season, critics say that the Warriors should break up their big three of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. And every season, Steph Curry can hear all of that noise – including this season.
Last week, Steph Curry sent a message to those critics who have been the Warriors to break up their core.
“It’s been like that for years now, even before we won the ’22 championship,” Curry said to the media. “They always find something to nitpick, and that’s because there’s expectations for us to win. So you kind of take that in stride. For me, my approach is to dumb it down to what I said in LA – just trying to figure out win a game at a time, give ourselves some momentum, some confidence, some energy.”
In the past two weeks, the Golden State Warriors have shown themselves to be much more formidable than they were at the start of the month. During their 5 game-winning streak, they defeated the juggernaut Boston Celtics. Losing the streak in a well-fought battle against the defending champion Nuggets isn’t anything to scoff at either. Steph Curry knows all of that is in preparation for what their hellacious month of February looks like.
“It’s no secret to anybody what February looks like or a playoff push, and what you need to show other teams to be a serious threat to win a playoff series or whatever the case is,” Curry said.
Right now, the Warriors’ biggest problem isn’t about breaking up their big three. It’s about finding the proper allocation of minutes between young players and veterans and getting everyone in the proper comfortable flow.
