The absence of Klay Thompson has left Steph Curry alone in the back-court. The team has not been doing well, and a recent loss to the San Antonio Spurs had Curry massively disappointed.

“Losing sucks. We all know that. No matter what the reason is, you can kind of nitpick each game. Turnover, fouls, or offensive rebounds, or whatever the case is, it leads to a loss. So we don’t want to be in a situation where we get used to the losing feeling. That’s not who we are. That’s not what we’re about,” Curry said.

He said, “Down the stretch, just have to get it done for a myriad of reasons so. It is frustrating, obviously no secret about that. Walking off the court was one of those weird nights where it was back and forth and we had momentum in the fourth, and they made a couple more plays down the stretch. Tough night.”

Can Steph Curry help the Warriors bounce back? Curry is still one of the best players in the NBA right now and is playing at an MVP level. The problem appears to be with his supporting cast, who are unable to perform in a consistent manner.
