    He's absolutely right.

    Still, it's pretty poor sportmanship. He wonders why some out there really don't like their swagger... this is part of the reason.

    He's basically just responding to Ty Lawson who said that Steph Curry didn't play any defense last year.

    He's right but it's no small task. He was able to coast on defense all last year and save his energy.

    Like the Clips it will be fun to see them fail. The dude does have some self confidence, anyone who's comfortable walking around with those pube looking things on their face must have a lot of it.

    I hope the Rockets show better effort against GSW this year. Friday has become a must win game that isn't a must win game.

    I have no problem with his comments. If it helps to jump-start a budding rivalry, that's a good thing.

    :rolleyes:

    Did Cool Ethan ask Steph to comment on his coach's tastefully nude leaked pics?

    Steph Curry is da real MVP

    Too much salt in here. He has had to take all kinds of criticism this summer from salty folks saying he didn't deserve MVP or GSW and Curry didn't face full strength teams etc

    The brother just keeping it real and backing it up with his play.

    Having said that, I hope Harden breaks his ankles with a sick cross over.

    the main thing is will the league allow opponents to play defense on him this year, or just let them get picked off on moving screens all night like last season?

    He balled last night I don't care if it was first string or 3rd string he did his damn thing. With that said im looking forward to this game a lot!!!! Ty Lawson forcing curry to atleast be honest on defense and then Bev getting all in his grill starting at halfcourt.

    I honestly think we have a good chance at winning Friday's game the rockets should be really focused and also the return of dwight Howard.

    The full statement doesn't sound much like trash talk.

    Steph Curry's full Lawson-inspired quip: "Obviously we had great success against them last year but that’s because we were focused every single night to the game plan, to sticking to it. I guess the only thing is I'll have to play defense this year."
