After Jimmy Butler was banged up in the first round against the Houston Rockets, Stephen Curry suffered a season-ending injury just a few minutes into the second round.<\/p>\n<p>With so many questions about the team\u2019s health and age going into another title-contending year, Curry recently tried to combat some of those narratives in an interview with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VUpDLjSI5GE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ABC7 News Bay Area<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what we did last year\u2026 the last third of the season after the trade deadline when we were top three in the league in offense, defense, all the metrics that show we were a really good team,\u201d Curry said. \u201cObviously, we have to stay healthy, get through the regular season at a high level. But I like the identity that we have and the foundation of knowing how to play together toward the end of last season that we can hopefully translate into this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the concerns about the aging core of the Warriors are certainly warranted, those concerns should be almost entirely about health. Despite the big three all being well into their 30s, their play hasn\u2019t had any significant dropoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Simply staying on the court should be the key to Golden State\u2019s hopes of making it back to the contender table next season. While that\u2019s easier said than done, there is absolutely reason for optimism in the Bay Area for 2025-26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors are hoping to contend for a title next season, but they\u2019ll be facing an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-74617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
