NBAcoach1: Can you describe a story from playing with Steph Curry that accurately describes what kind of a person he is? Andrew Bogut: He is one of the few superstars I have been around that DOES NOT act like a superstar. He is one of the best human beings in the NBA.

Everyone keeps asking why the Celtics are playing drop coverage against Steph Curry, so I did a deep dive into every facet of what makes drop coverage work and fail against the best at his best.

How Steph Curry has put maximum pressure on the Celtics’ drop defense, and why it might still be the best of the not-great options available to them.

Ime Udoka said that he “trusts what we’re doing on defense”. He emphasized that you can’t go after Stephen Curry the same way as other stars because the Warriors have a lot of other playmakers along with Curry.
Added that Curry has scored a lot in transition and off breakdowns. – 4:32 PM

Ime Udoka says while Steph Curry has had success against the Celtics’ drop coverages, Boston’s offense is the issue: “If we were playing offense the right way, we would be up 3-1, at least, right now.” – 4:29 PM

Ime Udoka said the Celtics have been leaving covering Stephen Curry in PnR “up to our guards”. He added that since the Warriors bigs haven’t really been quick rolling, that Boston wants to make Curry play more in a crowd on those actions. – 4:23 PM

The better team should win in a seven-game series. But a certain someone is throwing that logic to the wind.

More on this storyline
Juan Toscano-Anderson’s maternal grandfather emigrated to the United States from Michoacán, Mexico, in the 1970s, and bought a home in East Oakland, California. “In terms of my everyday life, I am very connected to my Mexican roots. I talk to my family every day. I eat Mexican food every day. I spend 75% of my summers in Mexico,” Toscano-Anderson said. -via Andscape / June 13, 2022
“I am working on that,” Toscano-Anderson, who has 365,000 Instagram followers, said of landing endorsements. “Hopefully, somebody will come out and sign me. I’d love it. If anyone is looking at the bigger picture, it’s a gold mine there. Look at what soccer is there. Basketball is a level three or four out of a scale of 10. It has so much room for growth. I am not going to say I am the answer to that growth. But I am the guy for it on social media. Social media is the biggest right now, and I’m in the NBA Finals. There are a small number of people that care about basketball. It doesn’t hit home runs. It doesn’t move the needle.” -via Andscape / June 13, 2022
While Toscano-Anderson is a proud American, he is becoming more and more comfortable with the thought of living in Mexico one day. “I’m looking to buy land out there,” Toscano-Anderson said. “That is where I want to retire. I just feel like life is simpler there. Don’t get me wrong, America is an amazing place. The greatest country. But there is just so much propaganda there. I’m cool off of that. I think people are very pretentious. This generation is just fried. There are no values and morals anymore. I am not saying I am going to Mexico and it’s going to solve all of my problems. But I just want to build a house on the beach and just be away from everybody.” -via Andscape / June 13, 2022
