The 2019-20 Golden State Warriors season was simply disappointing. However, the 2023-24 season has been a dire test of patience and their foundational pillars. As the Warriors struggle to maintain their candidacy for the Play-in this season, they recently faced the Orlando Magic. Leaving their winning run in Miami, the Warriors saw Draymond Green heading being booted out of the game within the first 4 minutes; marking the center’s fourth ejection of the season. The instance, coupled with Stephen Curry briefly tearing up on the court, brings light to multiple narratives around Green’s effect on the Warriors.

Now, as the Warriors face turbulent waters, each broken play on the court can feel like a hit to their season. With that, while maintaining a neutral demeanor on the court, Curry was seen kicking the sideline chairs in an uncharacteristic display.

Stephen Curry, being a superstar in the league, possesses the necessary elements to persevere through conflict, criticism, and toil. Given that, it is highly unlikely for the 36-year-old to display such a harsh outburst.

Regardless, Steph soon tapped into his form, helping the Warriors get away with a 101-93 win. As Andrew Wiggins led the scoring, posting 23 points, Curry notched a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists. However, with Steph’s chair-kicking instance embroidered in their heads, fans swarmed X with their mixed takes on Curry’s emotional blowup.

Fans come to Stephen Curry’s aid

Given the controversial start to the game, fans sympathized with the load Steph has been bearing all season long. As a result, they immediately began referring to Draymond Green as the root of Steph’s frustrations. One fan, asserting the same, wrote, “Draymond really broke this man”

Moreover, another fan utilized Draymond’s tendency to pit the Warriors against the odds. The fan hilariously claimed that Curry envisioned the chairs to be Green, hence, kicking them to passively vent out his frustrations.

On the other hand, one fan asserted Steph’s role in the monumental win. Hinting at a surge in Curry’s performance, the fan cited the moment as the catalyst to a “Villian Era” for Curry.

Similarly, another fan radiates Curry’s late fourth-quarter takeover of the game. As the Magic looked to spark a winning run, Curry launched his high-arcing long-rangers; dismantling the Magic offense and carrying the team towards the finish line.

Moreover, a passionate fan reminisced the last time Curry kicked a chair (December 2023), rendering the version as their favorite.

Despite the turn of things, the Warriors successfully managed to maintain their 10th spot on the conference table. Luckily, they will now face two low ranking teams, giving them breathing room to address Green’s recent actions on the side.
