So, how much of the team’s success is winning versus how the team is run? Andre Iguodala: You can’t win a championship unless you have the best talent. And so, I’m going to go out on a limb and say 80% of it is Steph Curry. I know Joe doesn’t like when I say it that way, but it’s the truth. I mean, we all know that.

Steve Kerr rants at officials after loss, Curry admits late-game scoring issues make Warriors ‘mediocre’
“The pattern of scoreless droughts down the stretch has to be addressed, or else we’re going to be a mediocre team,” Curry said.

Others can debate the final call or think it was an ugly game. To the Rockets and fans so often tormented by the Warriors, the PTSD when Curry lined up that shot was finally cured. Yet, there were other reasons the Rockets were thrilled with the win. houstonchronicle.com/sports/rockets… – 12:26 PM

Steph Curry took a 3 up one with 9 on the shot clock and 12.5 on the game clock. Did he go too early or did he like the look?
“Both…Probably a couple seconds too early…If I make the shot, we’re on a plane to Vegas.” pic.x.com/nmI4Lda1Zx – 1:36 AM

Kerr livid on a no call on a Curry airball. Not sure the officials brought their whistles here tonight so no foul, no technical. – 11:43 PM

Interesting that Udoka has Eason on Curry, rather than Thompson, who is on Green. But there is so much switching, everyone is on Curry on many possessions. Şengün picked him up on the last one. – 10:27 PM

There were only five total points scored in the final 4:25 of that first quarter. Steph Curry hit a 3 at the 1:00 mark and Tari Eason had a layup with 4.1 seconds left. That’s it. It was 3-2 GSW. Rockets up 20-18. – 10:20 PM

More on this storyline
In a recent appearance on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream, the legendary role player expressed surprise that the league gave him the honor instead of his legendary teammate. “I don’t know why they gave it to me, they were supposed to give [Finals MVP] to [Stephen Curry],” Andre Iguodala said, per this clip shared by ClutchPoints on X, formerly Twitter. -via Clutch Points / November 18, 2024
Anthony Slater: Andre Iguodala is in attendance tonight for the Klay Thompson return, among other former Warriors teammates. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / November 12, 2024
Andre Iguodala: “Allen Iverson gets such a bad rep, but he’s one of the classiest guys I’ve ever met, with one of the biggest hearts. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves as a person. He was the one who put confidence in me. Everyone needs that person to let them know who they are because sometimes you just don’t know. I was a late bloomer, didn’t even know why agents were calling me. They’d call, saying they wanted to represent me, and I’d be like, ‘For what?’ That’s how unaware I was. AI let me know I belonged, told me I was just as good as anyone out there. He inspired me to believe in myself and own my potential.” -via YouTube / November 10, 2024
Let’s talk about that because a good point guard needs to know how to run the offense—when to pass, when to shoot. How did being a basketball player prepare you to run so many different businesses? Stephen Curry: Well, first, going to Davidson allowed me to have a perspective that it wasn’t just about basketball. Stephen Curry: There was a nice balance between time management and intellectual growth at Davidson that helped me. It wasn’t 100% about just going to the gym and hooping. That’s not the only thing I can offer the world. Basketball is not an individual sport. It requires five people working in unison. You’ve got to have different roles that everybody buys into. -via YouTube / December 13, 2024
Stephen Curry: “There are two ways to really go out in basketball: either you’re forced out or you go out on your own terms. I hope to be in a situation where you consider how your body feels, what it takes to get ready for games, and the offseason training that goes into preparing yourself for an 82-game season. There will be a clear sign that it’s time to hang it up. I don’t want to be the one that’s limping up and down the court trying to keep up with the young bucks, but I don’t think I’m anywhere close to that yet. -via YouTube / December 13, 2024
We saved the most likely team for last, because they are easily the most complicated situation to figure out. What makes the Warriors the most likely team to trade for Jimmy Butler? They reportedly want another on-ball creator to ease the burden on Stephen Curry and Draymond Green to key everything for their offense. Golden State is also reportedly ok with adding veterans to match Curry’s and Green’s timeline to make the most of whatever the two veteran stars have left. What makes this the most complicated situation? Once again, it’s those pesky aprons and hard caps! The Warriors are hard-capped at the first apron. And they have only $533,659 in wiggle room under that marker. Here’s how tight things are for the Dubs: They can’t even fill their 15th roster spot right now, because they don’t have enough space for even a prorated minimum signing under the first-apron hard cap. -via Spotrac.com / December 12, 2024
