Curry Sounds Off On Criticism Aimed At The Warriors, Durant

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers without Kevin Durant. This was enough for haters to start talking, and even some fans talked trash about the star. Well Steph Curry decided to do something about it.

“I feel like for the last three years, everybody has taken their shots at trying to nitpick or break us down or drive a wedge in our team chemistry or our togetherness or whatever the case is,” Curry said of the criticism. “And even this year, it’s been amplified even more with (Durant’s) free-agency stuff. Nobody can say anything without it getting scrutinized or criticized. Nobody can be happy when people are playing well. That’s the part, to me, that’s most surprising. If it’s KD playing well, it’s ‘Oh, they’re playing a different style and it’s not as fun to watch.’ Or when he’s out and we’re winning games, ‘Are we better or more fun,’ whatever the question is, you hear it all the time.”

According to him, outside noise has nothing on the Warriors.

“We are one group, until we’re not,” Curry said. “I don’t think we’re going to let any noise around us – as frustrating or entertaining or whatever you want to call it is on a daily basis – break us down in terms of distracting us from what the goal is.

Durant is a favorite target, but he is fine with that. He said, “It’s been that way since I got here, that it’s the Warriors and KD. I understand that. And I feel like my teammates and the organization know exactly what I’ve done – on and off the court – to become a part of this culture. I know what I bring to the team,’ he added. “But I also know a lot of people from the outside don’t like to see us together. I get it.

“It’s hard to get away from that because I watch the games and watch the lead-up to the games and that’s all everybody is talking about. From my perspective, I want to focus on rehab, but I also want to be a fan of my teammates. I want to enjoy my teammates from a different view.”
