Stephen Curry: Calls Celtics BEST Team in NBA | Warriors Postgame Interview

Stephen Curry: Calls Celtics BEST Team in NBA | Warriors Postgame Interview

Last couple years the growth of the Celtics team to be able to you know pull off a performance like this since the finals l two guys what just kind of stood out to you each step of the way in terms of especially Jaylen and Jason the way they’re kind of growing as Leaders

Of that offense there I mean when you reach a let the road up until the 22 finals um it obviously got in a couple Eastern Conference Finals they were younger um you know fell short a couple times and then obviously we got them in that finals they they stay motivated

Hungry you always you know take those moments and I understand you have to get better and they’ve done that and they obviously added you know two pieces with Drew and uh KP didn’t play tonight but the way that they’ve been playing they seem very sure of themselves and their identity and who they

Are so you give them credit they they came out and whooped us tonight from the jump and it was one of those um you know perfect storms of just a rough night on our end and them taking it to us so you know they’ve they’ve elevated their game and

Um you got give them credit you notice one particular area of growth or something they’ve just kind of figured out you know to have a performance like this against you guys no it’s just mostly connect both sides of the ball they obviously play physical style and

Then they know how to space and you know what shots they’re trying to create it seem like they have confidence no matter who has the ball in their hand so like I said it’s a it’s an identity and a and a a confidence in how you play

Every night you can feel it with certain teams and certain teams don’t have it um and they obviously you don’t win 11 in a row in accident so they’re tough from their growth I mean in your perspective how much does losing in the finals reignite your drive that’s I mean that’s obviously one

Of the worst feelings in the world um we’ve gone through it twice and you understand everything that goes into winning at the highest level getting through an 82- game schedule the amount of focus and consistency you need to have so it definitely is a motivator um I know again they didn’t work out

Last year and they’re hungry again so the league is um it’s competitive at the top they have a history that they want to kind of overcome and they’re they’re playing they’re playing well right now so uh it’s definitely whatever motivation they they they’ve taken away from that it

Shows what happened with with the knee in Toronto what happened with the knee in Toronto I landed on it in first half at some point but uh just a little Bang was it was it on the play where you got hit on the three no it when I lost the ball and I

Was uh I was going I got it back and JK dunked it um like towards the end of the second quarter I think it was did you have any doubt you’d play today uh you no just cuz I um you just want to make sure we didn’t swell up any

More than it already did but I woke up this morning it was in a good spot when I just had to test it to see if I could not feel any pain when I was out there and uh that’s how it went so good decision to play Just based on

How I felt I think you only ended up playing 16 minutes is that how much of an off day half off day does does it feel like when you only play you know a half no it still feels like I mean still feels like a game cuz you had to do all

Your preparation stuff and even the 16 and 17 minutes I played it was physical and you’re trying to find any type of Life out there um but we do have two days off before another back to back so got to take advantage of that rest three

In one on the trip just any big takeaways from how you guys played overall today it sucks because um the way this game went how quickly it got away from us there’s a Temptation or a tendency to just let that Define our trip but if you

Told us coming into the these four games to go three and one um before you you know got back home like you take that it’s just you can was this one down the drain but you have to remind yourself of the level that we need to get to if we’re

Going to try to again be a team that’s a serious uh threat you know at the end of the year so I guess Boston’s been showing who they are for you know this this winning streak that they’ve uh that they’re on pretty much all year they’ve played you know at a consistently high

Level we got to get there um but yeah it was a great trip you believe you’re close to that point getting there um yeah you just have to uh realize you know we have a very thin margin um and we’ve you know put ourselves in a position where

We can have a full Sprint to the to the finish line and and still continue to make up some ground and once you get into the playoffs and you have a a series in front of you and you understand who your opponent is and can go through all the preparation and

Stuff we’ve we’ve been good in those scenarios you just got to get there um that’s the big picture of do we think yeah we think we can get there um take a day at a time and and uh that’s that’s where we’re at set you guys tried a

Different defense kind of came up with that like earlier this afternoon the try out against them what kind of inspired that and you know what what it something about the Celtics you guys want to try something different against them or you know what kind of wi is that it was a

Kind of a joint decision uh coach of Staff obviously the leaders on the team to yeah try something different based on how they’ve been playing at a high level and you want to a team that has that many threats uh you try to find some

Weak spot to see if it’ll throw him off a little bit obviously it didn’t work um and it affected our offense a little bit tonight so no regrets on on how we approached it and again a good Learning lesson for us to you know take the take the hit that

We took tonight but not let it linger into another game um cuz we’ve been on the hole playing some solid basketball ball so I getting wash it down the drain pretty quickly when you say it impacted the offense like how does that when you have a creative idea and it doesn’t work

You’re taking the ball out of the basket you’re hitting you know 10 threes in the first quarter like that’s what we we used to do the teams it’s kind of demoralizing especially on the road when um you know a shot that you’re comfortable giving up or whatever the

Case is they they’re taking advantage of it so then you feel like you have to play home run basketball on the other end to try to make it up and that’s where the momentum shift just kept uh going their way and going their way and seemed like

Then every little play goes their way and you look up and you’re down freaking 40 so it’s one of those nights that did you feel that some players uh maybe brought something about two years ago about the finals to the game today I don’t know what they talked

About in the locker room uh we’ve played them what now four times since so I’m sure that narrative’s gotten old but they’re the best team in the league right now um and they play like it so you know we have a uh a nice Gap to

Try to make up if we want to be that type of team down the stretch of the season but you know you give them credit they played their ass off and it was it was uh was tough to watch from the other side for sure

BOSTON — Following the Warriors 140-88 defeat to the Celtics, Stephen Curry praised the opposing team, calling the Celtics the best team in the NBA: “I don’t know what they talked about in the locker room. We played them but now four times since so I’m sure that [NBA Finals] narrative has gotten old, but they are the best team in the league right now and they play like it.”
