Steph Doing Steph Stuff Again

 

Stephen Curry's 45-point night vs. LA Clippers leaves Golden State Warriors in awe


Steve Kerr has run out of superlatives to describe Stephen Curry's brilliance. ...

...Kerr was left to discuss an unbelievable Curry performance one more time -- a display that included two game-defining 3-pointers in the final two minutes to help secure the win.

..."There's never been anybody like him. Those last two 3s were ridiculous."

... those last two 3-pointers left many inside Chase Center in awe. ...

...

"He didn't miss a shot today in shootaround," Warriors forward Draymond Green said. "So we kind of knew it was coming. But he could have missed every shot in shootaround and I still would have known it was coming. He's an incredible player."

...Curry started the game 10-for-10 from the field, including 9-for-9 in a 25-point first quarter. 

...

While many of the Warriors have grown accustomed to Curry's talent, Kerr said a couple of members of his new coaching staff, including assistant coach Jama Mahlalela, couldn't quite believe what they were seeing Thursday night.

"Jama came up to me after the game, he said, 'This may not be new to you guys, but [DeJan Milojevic] and I were just talking' -- this is their first time with the Steph Curry Experience," Kerr said. "They were just blown away. And even though we've all been here watching it, I'm still blown away. There's never been anybody like him. Not just the shooting range but the competitiveness, the guts, just an amazing, amazing player. What a game he had."

...

"I expect all of them to go in regardless of how ridiculous some of them are that he decides to take," Green said. "I still expect them to go in because he makes those ridiculous-ass shots and that's what he's done over the course of his career. That's why he's become who he's become. That's why he's great. That's why he's one of the top players in this league and one of the top players ever to play this game. A tough shot taker and a tough shot maker."
