Steph Curry will be a constant threat from beyond the arc and needs to be picked up from half-court, regardless of who’s running the play. Even if he isn’t having a good shooting night, the Rockets need to commit a man to him at all times.

He has not had much breathing room in this series and is still averaging 24.3 points while shooting 46.7% from the field. While he is undoubtedly a force on offense, Steph has also ramped up his efforts on defense in this series.

Steph Curry on approaching Game 7 against Rockets with the ‘appropriate’ mentality

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Steph Curry outlined the mentality that is required when approaching a Game 7. He said:

“If you don’t show up with that appropriate mentality, then you got a long vacation ahead of you, so you don’t want to be the team that’s packing up. We’re packing for a week. Getting on this plane to go to Texas and hopefully go to Minnesota right after. That’s the approach."
