Warriors star Steph Curry is all in on teammate Draymond Green’s declaration that Golden State will win the NBA Finals this season.<\/p>\n

After Green made the vow on TNT’s “NBA All-Star Tip-Off” before Sunday’s big game, a motivated Curry responded on the postgame show following his MVP-worthy performance that gave Shaq’s OGs the victory.<\/p>\n

“We love pressure,” Curry told Ernie Johnson when asked what he thought about Green’s promise. “We love expectations. You know that. He’s smart. He knows what he’s saying.”<\/p>\n

“It’s what we do here,” Green added.<\/p>\n

Curry and Green know a thing or two about exceeding expectations, having won the Finals in 2022 when everyone thought the Warriors dynasty was over during an inconsistent season. Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

At 28-27 with plenty of time left to play, Golden State sits at No. 10 in the Western Conference and has some momentum after acquiring Jimmy Butler at the Feb. 6 trade deadline — a move that sparked Green’s bold prediction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to win the championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curry is feeling confident as ever, too, he told reporters after the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited,” Curry said. “I got Draymond on the telecast guaranteeing we’re winning a championship. I love the expectations and having something to play for. He’s lighting a fire, for sure.<\/p>\n

“But all jokes aside, I think we finished the last four games 3-1 and we have a lot to figure out still, and I think 27 games or so left to make a push. All we want is just to get into a playoff series and have a fighting chance to be a tough out against anybody in the West, and we have a good opportunity in front of us to do that.<\/p>\n

“I’m looking forward to the challenge. It’s basically a playoff game every single night, and that usually brings the best out of you.”<\/p>\n

Curry is right — the Warriors must play every game with a playoff-like mindset moving forward. And Dub Nation certainly hopes they make good on Green’s word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
