The
Golden State Warriors star point guard
Stephen Curry has
stated that he ‘could not care less’ about finishing sixth in the table after a recent
debacle against the
New York Knicks.
The Warriors had a poor night against the Knicks where they
ended up on the losing side with a score of 119-112 at the Chase Center in San
Francisco on Monday.
Talking after the match, Curry was clearly not happy with
the result and he stated that right now, the focus of the team is to find ways
to have more consistency going into the business end of the season.
“Maybe a week or two ago, the [No. 6] seed was the
motivation,” said Curry. “Right now, I could [not] care less about where you’re
at. It’s the consistency of how we’re playing. That’s the most important thing
because, honestly, who cares what seed you are if you’re going to play like we
did tonight?
Six, seven, eight, nine, 10 – whatever it is, it doesn’t
matter. You’re not going to get very far. Honestly, who cares what seed you are
if you play like we did tonight ... You're not going to get very far."
Warriors head coach
Steve Kerr, while talking to the media,
admitted that the Knicks were the better team on the night but also stated that
his team’s defeat was not down to a lack of effort.
“The Knicks were great tonight right from the very
beginning,” said Kerr. “They took it to us, they were physical, they played
with great force. I don't think it's a lack of effort.
“I think it’s just we weren't good enough, that simple. We
just did not play well enough. It's disappointing because we got these three
home games here this week and we wanted to get off on the right track.”
