First, it sucks that Steph got hurt.
Second, Smart did nothing dirty. He dove for a loose ball as he’s done thousands of times and will do thousands more.
Third, Steve Kerr is right to have his guy’s back, even if it is misplaced.
Last, they talked and are cool. Let’s move on. – 9:20 AM

“I saw the kick. But shit happens. I’ve kicked somebody before, so it is what it is.”
Steve Kerr lost his shit at Marcus Smart for injuring Steph Curry diving for a loose ball. But as Smart defends himself for defending all out, he has an ironic ally.

Solid effort from the Nets to start — on the second night of a back to back. Getting contributions up and down the roster without Kyrie and Curry. The defense has also been good. After all the flat performances over last couple months, Nash really has to like this one. – 8:22 PM

Kerr: “Steph’s a lot stronger than people realize; he kinda reminds me of Stockton in that regard. Stockton used to be a great screen-setter & wasn’t afraid to screen across the lane & take on a big guy & open up the lane for Malone. Steph’s the same way.” basketballnews.com/stories/changi… – 3:52 PM

More on this storyline
Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry was ruled out of the second half of Wednesday night’s 110-88 loss to the Boston Celtics due to left foot soreness. He underwent an MRI immediately after the game. Asked about his level of concern surrounding Curry’s foot, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, “We’ll know after the MRI.” Curry injured his foot at the 4:17 mark of the second quarter when his leg got rolled on by the Celtics’ Marcus Smart as the two wrestled for a loose ball. -via ESPN / March 17, 2022 Smart explained that he didn’t see Curry and was just going after the ball. “I saw the ball, I dove for the ball, trying to make a play,” Smart said. “Unfortunately that occurred.” He added: “I’m sure I’m going to get called dirty. But I know who I am. … I play very hard and I leave everything on the court. … My teammates, my colleagues, they know I’m not a dirty player.” -via ESPN / March 17, 2022 Mark Haynes: Draymond Green on Marcus Smart hurting Steph Curry: “I can’t call it a dirty play. I will say that was probably an unnecessary dive…The Ball is literally in front of him, so if anything, you can say it was unnecessary, but I can’t call that a dirty play.” -via Twitter @markhaynesnba / March 17, 2022
