Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry recently shared how he's spending his time during the NBA playoffs, despite his team missing the playoffs.
"I'm a basketball fan, so I watch the games to see how it all plays out. It's actually good for us that we're watching the playoffs from the outside, because we can see what we have to do to get back to that level," Curry said in an interview on TNT.
Even though the Warriors failed to make the playoffs this year, Curry remains engaged and invested in the action, using it as an opportunity to scout and prepare for next season.
"I'm taking notes and doing a little scouting during games. I miss the playoff atmosphere, and I don't want to miss it again next year, so we're going to try to get back there," Curry added.
The Warriors' absence from the playoffs this year marks a rare occurrence for the franchise, which has been a fixture in the postseason for most of the past decade. Their failure to reach the playoffs came after an injury-plagued regular season that saw them finish 13th in the Western Conference standings.
Curry's comments underscore his competitive spirit and hunger to get the Warriors back into championship contention. While he's not on the court, the superstar guard is finding ways to stay engaged and learn from the ongoing playoff battles.
This offseason will be crucial for the Warriors as they look to regroup and retool their roster around Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The team will need to address key areas, such as wing depth and interior defense, in order to reclaim their place among the NBA's elite.
Curry's passion for the game and desire to compete at the highest level remains intact, even as he watches the playoffs from the sidelines. His leadership and commitment to the Warriors' long-term success will be an integral part of the franchise as it strives to rebound from this disappointing campaign.
The 2023-24 season represents a pivotal moment for the Warriors, who will look to write another chapter of success and reclaim their status as perennial title contenders. With Curry leading the way, both on the court and in his approach off it, the Warriors have reason to be optimistic about their prospects going forward.
