Football"There's just a lot that we're trying to deal with and still stay optimistic about where we're headed, because until we get beat, we still feel like we're a tough matchup for anybody. And that's the confidence we have to have down the stretch and headed to the postseason," via SI.
The Warriors have proven that when Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are healthy, they're tough to beat.
Sports Brief earlier reported on Thompson warning Warriors players that they'll need to play with the same effort even with Curry back from injury.
"Just because Steph is coming back, we can't slouch our shoulders and expect him to save us," Thompson said. "We gotta keep playing with the same mindset and the same effort."
Thompson was phenomenal in Curry's absence, keeping the team afloat before they lost to the Lakers.
