The Golden State Warriors fell to the Phoenix Suns in their season opener, and the duo of Chris Paul and Steph Curry got their first regular season game action together. After the game, Curry spoke on the dynamic between he and Paul.
“Just continue to get more comfortable, and who’s initiating where shots are going to fall or come from, sets that we can run depending on who has the ball. It’s very fluid right now,” Curry said. “It’s such a smooth transition because we both just know how to play, and there’s a lot of trust that whoever has the ball is going to try and make the right decisions.”
“We’re one game, a couple of preseason games under our belt, feeling like there’s been a lot of confidence that’s been building in terms of what we’re trying to do,” Curry added. “We’re going to obviously continue to get better, 81 more, and when Draymond gets back, there’s going to be even more to try to figure out in terms of rotations and all that. We communicate really well. We talk basketball and try to figure it out. That’s going to get us in the right position.”
Two very high IQ players, Curry and Paul should have little issue figuring out how to play alongside each other, and each game is another opportunity to grow as a duo.
