Perkins thinks Steph is on a ‘revenge tour’ after Klay leaves originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The warriors are ruling the Western Conference like it was 2015, holding first place for 15 games of the 2024-25 NBA season.
However, they are a completely different team than they were during those dynasty years, so what propelled them to this early success?
“It’s that light-skinned brother with green eyes,” ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins said on Sports Center on Friday. “It seems like he’s on a revenge tour right now. I saw this look in his eyes during the preseason and I said, ‘Steph Curry is locked in.’ Steph Curry feels some way, in my opinion, about Klay Thompson leaving We saw the passion they played with when they beat Dallas a few weeks ago, but when you think about the way this team plays, Steve Kerr adds a new recipe to the game with a 13-man rotation.
“They’re defending the perimeter at an extremely high level. Number one at protecting the 3-point line. Draymond Green looks like a guy who says, ‘You know what? I think they forgot about me when it comes to that.'” to the Defensive Player of the Year guys, and I’m going to put my name back in the conversation.” So I know they’re playing to secure and secure the NBA Cup, but I’m looking at them overall, and I’m looking West with all injuries at this time and It’s a mystery.
“The Warriors are a legitimate threat in the Western Conference to get out of the West.”
Curry, in his 16th season at age 36, has shown no signs of slowing down, even after dealing with an ankle injury.
Through 12 games this season, the two-time NBA MVP is averaging 22.7 points with 48.9 percent shooting from the field and 45 percent from long distance, with 5.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 29.6 minutes.
Playing without his longtime defensive partner and Splash Bro for the first time in 13 years, several adjustments have been made for Curry and the entire team. But the offseason additions and lineup adjustments have proven to work so far.
It’s unclear if Curry has his own agenda afterward. Thompson left his side join Kyrie Irving, Luka Dončić and the Mavericks this offseason, but we know it took Thompson’s recent return to the Chase Center in person after Thompson apparently “tricked” Curry.
Green revealed on “The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis” that Curry, who was supposed to give a pregame speech about Thompson during his homecoming to the Bay Area but then canceled at the last minute, was He reached out to Thompson to check on something, but never received a response. green said Curry was “angry” about it.prompting a 37-point display from Chef, including 12 points in the final three minutes and a 3-point dagger followed by his signature “night, night” celebration.
Call him angry. Call it revenge. Call it competitiveness.
Whatever it is, it’s working for Curry and the Warriors.
