“Before It’s Too Late”: Is Stephen Curry Unhappy Chris Paul and 23YO Rookie Were Warriors Starters?

After sudden up rise, the Golden State Warriors again seemed to have fallen into deep waters. The team pulled off a rare comeback, winning five games in a row to overlap their poor run. While Dub Nation’s emotions were settling down, the Warriors were back with a three-game losing streak. And a recent statement from Stephen Curry opened doors for conversation about his disapproval for the newly revamped starting line-up.

In the initial 20 games, the Warriors tried their luck with Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, but it didn’t prove to make any difference. Following that, head coach Steve Kerr brought in Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski into the starting line-up, and it immediately reflected positively on the scorecard. Let’s find out what went wrong following the success in detail.

Is Stephen Curry unhappy with the new move?

Ahead of the Dallas Mavericks match-up, Steve Kerr brought in another change to the line-up, pulling up Chris Paul and Trayce Jackson-Davis to the front. Notably, Kerr was the one who made CP3 come off the bench for the first time in his career. And now he had called him up in the starting five.

Unfortunately, it didn’t make any difference, as the team took home a 122-132 loss. And Steph’s response to the repeated change in the team led to all sorts of questions from the media. Initially, the superstar agreed to the fact that the franchise is still figuring out the right combination, going deep into the season. He also stressed that the team should chase the excellence and reach that point earlier.

The 4x NBA Champion said, “We have to get to that point, for sure, before it’s too late,” when the reporter asked about the recent change.

This brings to whether he was happy with the Kerr’s decision or not. While there isn’t any clarity on that, it definitely brought out the best in Chris Paul.

Chris Paul registered his season-high score of 24 points with 6 assists.

Chris Paul stepped up for the Dubs

This season hasn’t been a smooth ride for the Warriors. As the team’s star players struggle to produce numbers consistently. Especially Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson seemed to be struggling buckets. And it had a direct impact on the team’s results.

Moreover, in the last few games, the Baby-faced Assassin himself had a few rusty games. He even lost the streak for scoring at least a single three-pointer in a game.

On the other hand, Chirs Paul, who has been playing the role of facilitator, stepped up when given the opportunity. The veteran point guard played in the starting line-up and almost took the team past the finish line with his 24 points. Meanwhile, Thompson scored only 3 points with a poor 1-11 FG.
