Curry expects to be fine for Monday’s game

To understand the relationship between Mark Jackson and Stephen Curry, one would have to be familiar with the details behind the three years they spent together while Jackson was head coach of the Golden State Warriors.

Van Gaal recalled captain Wayne Rooney to his starting XI for the match against Chelsea . Even after this result the fans were applauding, so I can’t say I’m very much concerned.

National Basketball Association superstar Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors was named AP Male Athlete of the Year 2015 on Saturday. They brought the best record in the Eastern Conference into the Christmas tie in part because they had not lost for 31 games in a row when holding opponents to 96 points or fewer. Curry has improved his scoring from 23.8 points per game last season to 30.8 this year.

It’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with a player aspiring to be, or a team hoping to find, the next Stephen Curry, but the reality is that just as in the cases above, even if you find the best of those he’s inspired, they likely won’t match up to the original. “…I was able to just get through it. We’ve got two days off, and hopefully, I’ll be able to get back to 100 percent”.

The gist of Bowles’ message after the Houston loss: “Either we’re going to do this or we’re not”, Pace said. This is one of those games that if you went to it, you are happy that the home team came away with a win.

He beat out golfer Jordan Spieth who won two majors (and placed within the top four in the two others) and horse American Pharoah who won the Triple Crown (the first since 1978). “I’m appreciative of that acknowledgment because it’s across all different sports….”

Curry’s old coach with the Warriors, ABC analyst Mark Jackson, however, declared during the network’s telecast of Friday’s game that the sharpshooting guard is “hurting” the sport of basketball.

But the Warriors boast more depth than virtually any other team in the league and proved it with a surprisingly strong performance from reserve Shaun Livingston, who shot 8 of 9 for 16 points. That didn’t filter down when we had Michael Jordan. Livingston is no one’s idea of a stellar shooter, but his lanky 6-foot-7 frame allowed him to create space for turnaround jumpers over smaller defenders.

To Jackson’s point, Curry is a complete player who has committed tremendous time and energy to honing every aspect of his arsenal. The rest of the Warriors need to keep on working hard too though, because there are still a handful of teams that could give Golden State some good competition. Curry can consistently make shots from 28 feet out as he is on pace to shatter his own record of 3-pointers made in a season. After spending three years coaching him, I imagine Jackson might say the same thing.
