"Every post-game press conferences feel more important than the games. It's all very dramatic for November, no? I get it. You want more and it's not super obvious with their play that the Warriors do, too. But it's a long, long, long season and the Warriors for all of the think pieces (guilty) and broadcast blocks booked so far this season are, in fact fine. Not great. Not bad."
"And then Steph, at 37 years old, decided, No. Forty-six points. Game over. He remains the Get Out of Jail Free card for an entire franchise. The chatter is always about the system or the window. Both of those things are just fancy ways of saying Steph. Just get him the ball and get the hell out of the way."
The Golden State Warriors sit at 7-6 and present as old, small, and average, which magnifies every loss and substitution into larger judgments. The current perception is noisy, but the record indicates a team that is fine — not great, not bad — and still capable of improvement over a long season. There are three tangible positives underpinning that view, the most obvious being Stephen Curry's enduring ability to carry games. Curry produced 46 points against the Spurs and remains a decisive, game-changing force whose scoring can overturn unfavorable matchups and outcomes.
