In response to Green saying Curry continues to get better, Curry said he hasn’t added anything to his game but instead has focused on staying efficient and consistent with his skillset. The biggest area Curry says he’s actually improved on is his strength. – 1:55 AM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Stephen Curry said that his move on Tyler Herro is something he worked on over the summer, and that his trainer had already texted him noting the pattern.
“It’s the reps you do all summer long that comes out based on reads.” – 1:53 AM

Klay Thompson finished his postgame press conference by calling out Charles Barkley for saying Klay isn’t the same player he was before his injuries. Thompson says that hurt, he says people need to give him more time to get back to 100 after 2 major injuries. #dubnation pic.twitter.com/OI5TVqZyOl1:41 AM

Ric Bucher @RicBucher
Klay Thompson, unsolicited, acknowledged that he heard Charles Barkley say he’s not the same player he was before his injuries. “No, duh,” he said. “Who would be? It hurt hearing that. I put in so much effort to be the player I am. Give me some freakin’ time to get back.” – 1:34 AM

Klay Thompson said it hurt to hear Charles Barkley that he’s not the same he was after injuries. “Man, I put in so much freaking effort to get back to this point. It’s hard to put into words… Played 57 games in three years give me some freakin’ time to get this back.” – 1:30 AM
CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Klay Thompson ended his presser by calling out TNT’s Charles Barkley.

“It’s scary, that guy keeps getting better.”

“Steph has always been a guy who is very conscientious & wants his teammates to do well. He’s always thinking about his teammates.”

Steph Curry is now averaging 30.8PPG after his fourth straight 30-point game. GMs, Vegas didn’t have Curry as a top 3 MVP candidate, his scoring over/under according to BetOnline was 24.5ppg going into this season. Boy does Curry love proving people wrong. 😏😏 #dubnation12:27 AM

A lot of this is ‘yeah it’s Steph Curry’
The other part of it is ‘um it’s Steph Curry, fight through the screen a bit’ – 12:12 AM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
This is why James Wiseman’s verticality is such a threat paired with Steph Curry, and Jordan Poole as they develop that chemistry. Bam Adebayo lingers in front of Curry a bit too long on the PnR & the Warriors punish. #dubnation pic.twitter.com/OLNH3WWiIq11:47 PM

This is an odd combo for the Warriors with Curry, Poole, Moody, J. Green and Wiseman on the floor but I’m feeling it. 16-3 Warriors run? #dubnation11:43 PM

Finally, an on-target lob to Wiseman. From Curry. Flushed – 11:40 PM

Steph Curry was coaching up Moses Moody hard about something on the bench. Made a point to wave him over to him while he was seated in the huddle. – 10:22 PM

Now hits a 3
Then Curry matches

Three-point shooting again a struggle for Brooklyn and a main story of this game.
Nets: 12/34 (35.3%)
Mavs: 20/40 (50%)
Nets ranked 22nd in threes attempted and 26th in threes made heading into this one. They miss Harris and Curry badly. – 10:17 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Curry guarding Caleb early
As he said when I talked to him earlier in year, teams put their best player on him frequently to take possessions off on defense
Now he needs to make them pay, as he said was his focus – 10:13 PM
Erik Slater @erikslater_
The Nets need Yuta Watanabe and Royce O’Neale badly in this 4th quarter.
Spacing to close the 3rd was some of the worst you’ll ever see in an NBA lineup. Brooklyn missing Harris and Curry big-time. – 9:27 PM

Pretty crazy how much better this team would look tonight with Curry and Harris in place of Sumner and Duke Jr. – 8:35 PM

Last season, Caleb Martin went on a defensive point guard tour in January on the road trip
Started at the 4, and held Steph Curry to 3 of 17 shooting
Following game played Portland (without Dame)
Now it’s the inverse, with the Curry match up to come tonight
I like it – 12:59 PM
