Stephen Curry is a vital player for the Golden State Warriors. In fact, he might even be the best player on that roster. Not only Warriors, if Steph was a part of some other team, he sure would have been just as important there as well. That speaks volumes about the ability and talent of Stephen Curry.

The best shooter ever makes the game look easy. His ability to look for tight spaces, make acute passes, make his team click, or obviously take a shot himself, and more times than not, he scores. Moreover, time and again, he has shown why he is the best in the business.?

There are no two ways about the fact that Steph Curry is a piece of Steve Kerr?s side, which is simply irreplaceable. But at the end of the day, basketball is a team game. Even if they do not flourish without Steph, one would expect some decent performances for the 3rd seed side. Steve Kerr addressed the situation after their loss against the Orlando Magic.

?We have to execute better and we’ve gotta be smarter. We gotta stop fouling three-point shooters. That killed us. Killed us! The last two games.? Steve Kerr talked about the game. ?There?s gotta be a level of discipline, accountability, of competitive desire and I know these are great guys. I love these guys in the locker room. Awesome guys. I know they want to win. We just have to learn how to win. Right now, we don?t know how to win.?

Evidently, Steve was brutally honest in his admission that his team needs to do better. However, the fans wanted some accountability from the head coach as well.
