The Warriors are in a tough spot right now and Steph Curry has gotten candid about their season.
Golden State are super mid and haven’t had any consistency at all. Curry has been carrying the team on his shoulders but ultimately, it hasn’t been enough.
He says it’s been an “emotional roller coaster.”
“It’s very volatile right now in terms of the emotional roller coaster this year,” Curry told ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk. “Similar to what it was like that [2021-22 season that ended with a championship].
“I think it’s a challenge for us to just try to maintain confidence in what we’re doing, what we’re building. And until we run out of time, we have to maintain it.”
The four-time champion has spouted some cryptic comments to the media lately, but says he’s okay with the team not making many changes at the deadline, he just needs everyone to lift.
“[We’re] trying to be a realistic threat in a playoffs series,” Curry said. “If Mike calls and says, ‘Hey, this is an opportunity to do X, Y, Z,’ I give my opinion.
“My hope is that [if there’s no action at the deadline], it’s not because of a lack of effort. If we don’t have a chance to get better, my whole thing is I want to win, and whatever that means, all efforts are pointed towards that, then I can kind of live with whatever happens.”
Despite the ups and downs, Curry will always be a winner and he said Wednesday that anyone who thinks he’s okay with being on an average team is “insane.”
His goal is to still win a fifth chip before he rides off into the sunset and he believes the Warriors are capable.
“Hundred percent feel like we can beat anybody in a playoff series because we’ve done it,” Curry said. “We have the knowhow, and we just want to be able to answer that question with how we’re playing and not imagine.
“… We’ve been there. We know how to do it. Just feel like we can do it again.”
