Brian Windhorst shocked by Stephen Curry’s ‘truly outstanding’ postgame interview

After a great start to the season, v The Golden State Warriors are out of control. The Warriors have been one of the worst teams in the NBA over the past few months, and there’s an argument to be made that they hit rock bottom on Monday night.

Despite the strong play of the superstar point guard Stephen Currythe The Warriors didn’t have enough in the tank to pick up a road win over the Toronto Raptors as they lost 104-101. The Raptors are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference this season, so the result says a lot about where the Warriors are right now.

after the game Curry took a path that not many star players take when their team falls. He essentially said that while the Warriors should continue to try to improve the team, they shouldn’t go out and make a “desperation” move to try to get the team back into contention while jeopardizing the franchise’s future prospects.

After so many instances of star players encouraging their teams to trade other stars to improve in the short term, Curry’s unorthodox comments about the future of the Warriors shocked fans and pundits around the league. One of the people who was very surprised was ESPN Brian Windhorstand he expressed as much on NBA today on Monday.

“I’ve never heard an interview like this from a player in the middle of the season,” Windhorst said of the Warriors star’s comments. “I’ll try to point out that it was a cold.” January Monday night in Toronto and maybe we shouldn’t take too much notice of declarations there. But on the other hand, you know those stages of loss? Sounds like Steph Curry is in the acceptance phase. Because for me, I can’t say for sure what kind of conversations he had with their front office, but I believe he communicated with them as well. That there is no reason to chase something to fix the team which may be a desperate move. That’s so unusual for a star player to say. …I’ll be honest with you, when you listen to him talk like that, it makes you wonder if the Warriors, who have been sniffing around for a star player since last summer, instead of doing that, could do the opposite and trade to save money.”

Curry finished Monday’s game with 26 points, seven rebounds and assists, but it wasn’t enough prevent the Warriors from falling below .500 at 19-20. Now, the Warriors are all the way down to 12th place in the Western Conference and have won just four of their last 10 games. With the way the roster currently stands, Curry and company may be stuck fighting for a playoff spot for the rest of the season whether they get another move or not.
