Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors are currently tied up 1-1 with the James Harden and Chris Paul-led Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, and after just two games, this series has already proven to be the best in this year's NBA Playoffs. The Rockets have the firepower to knock the Warriors off their throne but, can they outshoot such a consistent team?
Kevin Durant thinks his Warriors team can overcome the challenge as he spoke with sports reporters this past Friday while at practice. The nearly 7-foot multifaceted small forward spoke on topics like Draymond Green adjusting to his role in the series, Draymond's encouraging words off the court and aggressive style of play.
He also spoke about playing under pressure, his Warriors team's lack of poise in game two in comparison to game one, being aware of the small details while in the midst of the game and maintaining defensive intensity and effort on all members of the Houston Rockets team.
Around the 8-minute mark in the clip, Durant is asked about Steph Curry's Game Two streaky shooting and stated the following, "I know the next couple of days are gonna be about Steph's struggling [to] shoot the ball but, that's the last thing I worry about with Steph... I just got so much confidence on the offensive side of the basketball, and as far as shooting the ball, I mean... I've said this way before you guys have said this, he's the best shooter to ever play."
With KD verifying his faith in Steph's offensive prowess, and there chemistry on-court being undeniable, there's no telling what this Golden State Warriors team is capable of. From the looks of things, we're looking at the next major sports dynasty in recent history.
