The NBA Western Conference Finals are about to light up TV sets tonight, but it was Russell Westbrook who has ignited a little motivation into the mind of Steph Curry before anyone even steps foot on the court. Today at a press conference, Russ was asked about Curry and he responded by saying that Steph is just a shooter, much like Damian Lillard. He went on to describe him as “nothing [he] hasn’t seen” and mentioned the fact you just have to be more physical when you play against him because he likes to shoot three or four feet away from the 3-point line.
Considering Westbrook only has an on (aka attack mode) switch on the court, it’s going to be interesting how that matchup will play out. That’s if he even guards Curry.
Game 1 of the Western Conference finals kicks off at 9pm EST on TNT.
