Steph refused to panic after the Warriors’ blowout loss to the Grizzlies


Steph refused to panic after the Warriors’ blowout loss to the Grizzlies first appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

There is no time for the warriors to hit the panic button.

Well, at least that’s what Golden State guard Steph Curry preached to reporters following the Warriors’ historical 144-93 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday at FedExForum.

The 51-point margin is the largest in the NBA this season and is tied for fourth-worst loss ever in Golden State’s 78-year history.

But, as Curry mentioned after the game, it was a surprisingly common result for Golden State. Also, he is convinced that the current Warriors team is better than their record and most recent result show.

“We like this once a year,” Curry told reporters in the locker room after the game, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN. “(But compared to the 50-point loss to the Boston Celtics last season), I like the vibes better now.

“I will continue to say it because I truly believe we are better than what we are playing. Better than what we showed tonight.

Golden State’s flat performance came on a night in which freshman Dennis Schröder made his Warrior debut. The 31-year-old finished with five points and two assists in 22 minutes of play.

Curry, on the other hand, went 0-for-7 from the floor, making two free throws for his only points. It was the first time in his career that the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP failed to record a field goal in a game in which he played at least 15 minutes, per StatMuse.

But even then, Curry refused to associate panic with the Warriors, who are now 10th in the Western Conference standings after falling to a 14-12 record.

“I don’t like the word ‘panic,'” Curry added. “Get where you are. Write it down and think about how you can change the course of the season.

“Shock kinda means you don’t have an answer. I think we have answers, just maybe (there should be) a sense of struggle, for sure. “

Only time will tell if emergency sirens are necessary for Curry and Co.
