The things that most personally irritate Klay Thompson are slights to his team. However, Steph Curry, who is more reserved, might actually be the Warriors’ Petty King.
Curry demonstrated this during the conclusion of the Warriors’ thrashing of the Houston Rockets, 133-110, when he responded to the incitements of Rockets player Tari Eason, who was hurt, with a nuanced, brilliant movie allusion.
To set the scene, Eason uploaded a video to his Instagram account in which he shouted, “Warriors! come to pla-ay-ay!” while paraphrasing the 1979 movie “The Warriors.” In response, Draymond Green stated that it was a poor idea to do so while wounded, especially in light of the fact that Houston has been despised by the Warriors for ten years. Subsequently, Eason went all out by sporting a Warriors shirt during the match.
Curry delivered 29 points, six rebounds, and six assists in a win that put Golden State four games ahead of Houston with six to play, while they also hold the tiebreaker over the Rockets. In the film, Luther, the bottle-clanker, pulls a gun on the rival gang but loses his weapon after the leader of the Warriors drills him in the wrist with a knife shot from distance. In Thursday’s game, the NBA Warriors destroyed their opponents by shooting 17-for-35 from three-point range.
Honestly, Luther, the leader of The Rogues, feels like more of a Dillon Brooks figure. He talks a lot of trash but doesn’t back it up, commits violent acts for non-existent or self-destructive reasons, and claims that he’s a victim. Thursday, Brooks met his archrival Draymond Green with a whopping eight points and four fouls
Steph Curry remembers small details. Another Rogue, Andrew Bogut, claimed that Curry would peruse negative comments about him at halftime to spur himself on to disprove them in the second half. He loved telling opponents, “Night night,” during the 2022 playoffs, with a celebration that was at once devastating and silly.
