Stephen Curry is the G.O.A.T – ESPN react to Warriors beat Wizards 129-118 in Jordan Poole’s return

There’s a few folks disappointed with that last outcome however the Warriors aren’t mad they just won their fourth game in a row and seventh overall at Chase Center and they win by 12 over the Washington Wizards and what a win for the Golden State Warriors JK Trace Jackson Davis and of course Stephen

Curry leading away to Warriors for the fourth time this season have three players score over 20 points and we’ll discuss it all here on Toyota Warriers postgame live live at gate house here at D city with the Hall of Famer Chris Mullen NBA champion Durell Wright I am

Bon Hill and the Warriors take care of business due to a huge third quarter with SH scor to wizards 38 to 22 and in that frame with a 163 run and the Warriors got the ball rolling around there the big assist numbers a good night for the go to say Warriors yeah

Great night for the Warriors especially coming off a big win you one of the biggest wins of the season so far uh got off a little to a slow start but they picked it up Steph Curry with Steph Curry in three quarters young dubs play well everybody played well I thought it

Was a total team win yeah great win validating the nice probably the biggest win the season versus the Celtics and really important the starters and and the big minute guys got to rest in the fourth quarter because they got the back toback tomorrow so overall I think a

Great effort uh everyone that played and it made more important he got some rest because of the back toback tomorrow and Jonathan kaminga with his eighth straight game scoring the double figures had a monster first half 16 points overall he’s our guest tonight hopefully he can hear us JK good evening do you

Feel like as a team you guys are playing the best basketball of the Season thus far I think we’re playing great basketball Bonte I think my efficiency been great there it is there we go JK take the tow off your head we got to get

The towel off your head there you go JK we got to get the towel off so you can hear us a little bit better do you feel like you’re playing the best basketball of the Season thus far I mean so far it’s been great you know uh just knowing

My role for this team uh knowing certain people I’m on the floor with uh and just watching film every single day learning a game uh so far I feel like I’m I’m actually trying I’m actually doing better JK is d right man it looks like the game is finally slowing down a

Little bit for you you you’ve been putting some great games together tell us a little bit about how you’re feeling out there how you approaching the game now but from my eyes it looks like the game is slowing down for you I mean it’s definitely slowing down

Uh even most of the time when I go back and watch films uh like I said uh me and been watching the film every single day and like no one went to attack went to pass the ball what angle we should attack from so just things like that you

Know and it feel like it’s become even more easier now JK great game you’ve been playing great basketball your efficiency numbers off the chart you mentioned watching film I want you to talk about your shot selection and you and Brandon psky in the starting lineup look looks like the pace is much faster

You guys are really putting a lot of pressure on the the opposing team’s paint opening up shots for your teammates I mean definitely uh just having me out there in BP uh two young guys we got fresh legs you know uh we coming out here bringing the energy

Every single day and that’s that’s God us rolling every single day so it’s just me and him being more focused on what’s going to keep us on the floor and I feel like so far are we doing what we need to do you’re definitely doing your thing JK another double Digger double figure

Night for you uh 22 points and all 9 of 11 the efficiency numbers through your last eight man shooting over 60% get some rest have a quick turnaround for the Portland TR Blazer tomorrow for sure all right guys all right Jonathan kaminga here on postgame live he’s playing phenomenal basketball right now

Taking advantage of the opportunity and just to think bully he was out of this rotation a couple weeks ago against a Portland TR blers yeah and I like D’s question when you’re playing a decisive basketball your shot selections on point your efficiency number numbers are there not only you’re comfortable it tells me

He’s playing with the right combination of players and I think not only for JK but I think we psky in the starting lineup the game is much faster now when you play small you have to play fast and and you space the floor to drive the basketball to put pressure on the

Opposing team’s defense to collapse them obviously if you have the layup take it but more importantly all of a sudden the last you what 10 15 games Klay Thompson’s on a roll because of that uh the pace and the space that the Warriors are playing with and something I really

Believe in fellas is when you know those minutes are going to be consistent uh you don’t have to be what they say thirsty you can let the game come to you you know you’re going to get your shots you know you’re going to get your minutes and that’s what it looks like

With JK he know he’s going to be out there for 20 plus minutes so that’s making him relax and understand the game will come to me I will get my moments I’ll get my my shots and Bon you mentioned it uh pregame you know not fouling but playing solid physical

Defense playing the opposing team is one of their best offensive players and they’re not turning the ball of the Warriors had 12 turnovers as a team but that to me gets back to with the ability to play with Pace but also making good decisions so that that gets back into

Spacing timing uh I just really like the way this team is jelling uh and the young plays I think have had a huge impact on that but you think about if you have this this the athleticism and the speed Stephen Clay going to get more open and we saw tonight Steph didn’t

Have to get off to a dynamic start right feel the game out let your teammates get feeling good about themselves Steph’s always going to be able to get out there and get 30 points JK became the first Warrior this season with a 20-point game on 80% shooting from the floor he’s on

Some heater right now but also Steph Curry he’s at 13 30-point nights three the last four games Stephen Curry has scored over 30 points and you see what he’s done over the course of his career and gu the Washington Wizards there’s something about that logo where his eyes

Lights up and he lights up the scoreboard he did it again through three quarters tonight of course he scored 14 to the last 16 points in the first half again his 13 30-point night and he’s feeling the game out wlly he’s fing the game out d right and he took advantage

There in that third quarter man he definitely did fellas uh Steph Curry he was running off screens you know coming off screens tough uh getting his shots getting to his spots making some great passes and when he gets on a heater like that man I’m telling you it’s going to

Be tough to guard him we thought he was going to hit those 15 tonight too no we did you see that 75th career game with at least eight made threes in a basketball game tonight was his season high in made threes 8 to 13 for Steph yeah mentioned earlier bante and derell

He got up to a slow start by his standards but to shoot 8 for 13 from the three-point range is amazing obviously working hard to get open uh sometimes looking at the basket sometimes not um but again to get 13 three-point shots off a lot of lot of good work without

The best by Steph and I would say some questionable defense by the wizard for sure defense there’s defense played tonight but it whiz I thought there was the generals oh that was pregame that was pre that’s January 13th bully get ahead of yourself here but Steph Curry filling out the game

Here great finger roll by the way but Stephan Curry filling out the game again got out to a slow start against the Celtics got out to a slow start against the Brooklyn Nets it’s a season when they take over a basketball game that’s second Curry flurry really flipped his

Basketball game oh yeah when you’re a great shooter and a great scorer like Steph Curry two or three misses don’t bother you four or five don’t bother you because he has that confidence and the mental toughness to know the next shot is going in and that’s what we see with

Steph Curry every time he touches the court he knows that his game is going to get rolling at some point and we saw that uh tonight got it rolling and only have to do it in three quarters and again six plays in double figures so he

Has the ability to not have to be on for every second he’s on the floor and I think when his teammates come out with some aggression that just naturally loosens up the defense Steph senses that and you know he obviously could put together 20-point quarter at the blink

Of an eye well give the wi Wizards credit they were down two at the halftime when on a late run there in the second quarter despite the curry flurry however in the third quarter it was all dobs they outc scored at Washington Wizards 38 to 22 you mentioned the D

Steph only had to play three quarters tonight and the ball was hopping around eight assists in that frame 16 rebounds they shot 56 12% in the third quarter and they were 7 to 10 from the three-point line yeah they did a much better job coming out of halftime with

Playing without fouling that first half the Wizards shot 18 free throws but they only finished with 24 free throws so that lets me know they did a better job put attention to detail playing without fouling you know when you get stops on the other end they turn those defensive

Stops to offensive points yeah again a balanced attack not only with six plays in double figures but they had 47 made field goals 18 made threes 17 made free throws so they’re attacking the paint um you see guys attacking the offensive glass but you see all those clips a lot

Of wide open three-point shots uncontested because of the ball movement yeah Steph Curry l LED away in that third quarter four or five from the three-point line 13 points darel charz who’s playing very well another double figure night for him five points in that third frame and the warriors were able

To coast in the fourth quarter now it was it was a homecoming for Jordan PO he spent four years the first four seasons of his career with the go to State Warriors and dub Nation showed him a lot of love here’s our manini sleep World Highlight Zone and fo far out of

Dation let welcome back at number on the Warriors 2022 championship team now [Applause] Jordan Jordan P great reception we knew he would get one and gp2 showed him some love before the game Stephen Curry Klay Thompson he had a lot of fun back tonight and he was trying to get his

Game going although he wasn’t efficient 7 to 21 3 to 12 from the three-point line he did lead the Wizards with 25 points and he was 8 to9 for the free throw line but he just didn’t have his shot rolling D you mentioned it coming back home there’s a lot of pressure

Coming back to place your former team you want to light them up oh yeah you want to have a great sh so that adrenaline uh that energy everything is out the roof and you know it can either go really really good or really really bad or just a tough night and Jordan P

You saw at times he wanted to you know get get some uh licks back to his old so uh tough night for him but he did leave the team and scoring he got his points and look the Wizards are in a rebuilding retooling type situation so they’re

Trying to find their traction as a team but I got to say I’m really happy and proud of the Bay Area fans for the respect that they gave Jordan P we all know about his journey growing up here um as a rookie going through the trials and tribulations of the G League going

Through a CO situation and then help lead this team to a championship Banner against the Boston Celtics where he was a pivotal part of that team and I’m just so proud of the Bay Area fans for giving Justin uh Jordan P his right do with the beautiful Standing Ovation well deserved

He Milwaukee brother right there switching jerseys exchanging jerseys with the with cavon Looney there his Milwaukee brother and you know what Jordan P when he was watching that video tribute you could tell Milly that it meant something to him he started choking up a bit there

And D said when you when the game starts of course you want to have a good game and I think we’ve all been in a different situation where we went back to play our former team I I always remember one day spe specifically in my

Career I had come out of rehab I went to alcohol rehab and I came back after being away for like eight weeks and I still had some trepidation about how I was going to be accepted I’ll never forget till this day the chills I got in

My spine when I walked on the court and got staring ovation where it it kind of the Bay Area fans Lifted Me Up and and said it was okay you made a mistake we got your back so you never can prepare for that you think you you may think you

Know how it’s going to go but your tions take over I I saw the same thing and he should feel that way he he did a lot of good things here it’s a Memory he’ll look back on years to come obviously Steve C it ended not the way we all

Wanted it to but does not that does not diminish the work he did here as a warrior yeah when you grow up somewhere he basically grew up here as a young teenager and uh this whole city this organization those teammates watched him grow so you know winning a championship

That just puts more on it so he definitely looked like he was a little emotional being back here I know he appreciated his time here and you know you leave here with a championship so that’s always a win-win no doubt good luck hell foree fore fore spee speech huh hello fore okay Fore fore okay fore okay is up foreign spee spee spee spee foree for spee foreign fore fore byebye
