Steph Curry Had Perfect Response To Idea Warriors Are Not Tittle Contenders

The Golden State Warriors lost Kevin Durant, Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala. Klay Thompson tore his ACL, and is expected to miss most of the season. Some say this is the end of the Warriors dynasty, but Steph Curry says they are still title contenders.

Curry’s reaction to these doubts is hilarious.

“I just laugh at it,” Curry said during his second annual Warriors All-Girls basketball camp in Oakland on Monday afternoon. “Anybody can say anything about anything nowadays and it can pick up steam. So we’ve had lots of support. We’ve had a lot of criticism on the way that doesn’t change now. Just what they’re saying is different so doesn’t change how we go about our business.”

Curry knows that his teammates will have to build everything again, and he is full of optimism.

“It’s just a matter of really trying to get guys comfortable with the system, be able to highlight the different skill sets that we have and different strengths and the chemistry,” the Warrior said. “It will take a little bit of time and a lot of hard work, but like I said, we have a lot of high IQ guys from our core and a lot of leadership and commitment to what we do, so starting in the training camp and beyond, you have to have a mindset that you will continue to get better as the season goes on.”

Monday’s camp is one of the last events in the Warriors’ downtown Oakland facility. In the next couple of weeks, staffers will move everything to Chase Center, because the organization is moving to San Francisco.

“It’s still always bittersweet for sure,” Curry said. “Cause I guess I’ve spent 10 years here. I remember my first training camp with Don Nelson and Kelenna Azubuike and the whole roster and 10 years later for guys that have come through this organization … It’s just weird and different but exciting for sure.”

Let’s see if the Warriors are ready to handle the pressure. Will they make the playoffs again? Is there any chance that they become contenders? Probably.
