There was 33 in the second half in Game 7 in Houston in 2019. That was followed by a big Game 7 against Oklahoma City in 2016, when he put up 36 on Kevin Durant’s Thunder to complete a comeback from a 3-1 hole in the series. There was 40 off the bench in Portland in 2016, including a record 17 in overtime. Then there was 38 in a pivotal Game 5 of the 2015 NBA Finals. There was 40 points and nine assists in Game 3 in New Orleans in 2015, punctuated by a corner 3 that forced overtime. You can’t do it the way the Michael Jordan Bulls all broke up after the famous “Last Dance” 1997-98 season.Īnd I think Game 7 is one more reason owner Joe Lacob, Draymond and Myers can’t and won’t let themselves be the ones to call this all off. And so what? You can’t purposely end this anytime sooner than it absolutely has to. The Warriors’ massive luxury-tax bill is coming due hard.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS SCORE LIVE UPDATE FREE
Draymond can become a free agent this summer. You can’t break up the Warriors because it won’t ever be like this again once it’s over. You can’t break up the Warriors, even though that’s been the possibility looming over this entire season, which could’ve ended Sunday.īut it didn’t end. You can’t break up the Warriors if Curry wants this to go on forever - and he put up 50 points, the most ever scored in a Game 7, to make sure this went on at least another round. Because no other team has ever silenced hostile crowds like this and pushed itself to play like this in a procession of epic moments like this. You can’t break up the Warriors because of everything we saw and felt in the Warriors’ soaring 120-100 Game 7 victory over the Kings in Golden 1 Center on Sunday. You can’t break up the Warriors because it shouldn’t happen until Stephen Curry’s last swish and Draymond Green’s last swipe, shouldn’t be contemplated until Steve Kerr has walked away, Kevon Looney is tired of rebounding and Klay Thompson doesn’t want to shoot anymore. You can’t break up the Warriors because the Warriors aren’t letting it happen. This speech, though, would become part of his legend.
Teammates consider it rare, but when he does speak, everyone listens explicitly. “I don’t even talk a lot,” Curry said to the team, “but I’ve got something to say.” In the glass-walled atrium on the ninth floor of Chase Center, a space known as “Above the Rim” that overlooks the Bay, he had their undivided attention. But Curry was fed up enough to tell Green, “let me take this one.” That was all Green needed to hear.īefore the start of Saturday’s film session, Curry stood before the group. Green was prepared to speak to the team, to try galvanizing the bunch. They exchanged messages about their embarrassment, how Kings guard Malik Monk called them old, about the fractured focus they’ve witnessed in their huddle. Turns out Draymond Green couldn’t sleep either. When he gave up trying and got up, before the sun had even risen, he checked his phone and saw a text at 3:45 a.m. He was so disgusted by how they played, so disappointed in the division they allowed to seep in. He was so angry after their Game 6 loss on Friday night, when they squandered a chance to clinch with a spirit-less loss at Chase Center. Well before the Warriors’ 120-100 win over the Kings. Stephen Curry’s epic Game 7 performance - in which his 50 points set a record for a win-or-go-home game - actually began Saturday morning.
