Full Episode
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, Steph Curry. He's ridiculous. He's the GOAT. We're going to talk about him a little bit. The Lakers got another win, but Anthony Edwards, oddly, got ejected and may miss a few games. And Law Murray stops by for a wide-ranging conversation about why every team doesn't actually play this game. Good morning, everybody.
Good morning, S. Good morning, Dave. Great night of hoops. What a Steph Curry, man. Look, the Warriors went to Orlando and look with the way Orlando has been playing. They got crushed by 40 the other night. I was thinking, all right, we're probably not going to hit this game. The Warriors would just wipe them out.
didn't work out that way um the warriors did win the game and we're gonna get to that but the way this game started out the the magic actually had a really nice run to start the game got themselves a big lead uh but steph curry just did the thing that he does s and had a 22 point third quarter he had 12 threes in the game had 56 points and
The Warriors needed all of those to win the game and including all the points they got from Quentin Post, who we'll talk about. But this game was, number one, a game that I did not expect us to be talking about. So it was a nice surprise. But number two, Steph Curry, 56 freaking points. He is, what is it? He's got the most 50-point games after turning 30 with nine now. Yeah. Yeah.
Do you want to pontificate a little bit about Steph?
Yeah, of course. Steph is incredible. The one thing I saw was that he has the most 20-plus point quarters ever, which is just ridiculous to think about. The Curry flurry, man. It's incredible to watch. I think he's still the number one guy to watch in the NBA. And I don't think that's a hyperbole.
I think when he gets on those moments to the ratings.
Yes. Oh, yeah, that's true to the ratings as well. Like it's must watch TV when that guy is just going like that. And it's funny because there was this clip circulating today of him against the Warriors in 2016 and just the flurry that he went on. against that, excuse me, against the Thunder in 2016.
But it just kind of reminds you of how great he was in his prime and how kick-ass he still is when he gets on that level. The other thing I wanted to mention about Steph, which is crazy because like Jimmy didn't have the greatest offensive game and Steph was just like, no problem.
