Steph Curry revealed he had shared some thoughts with Scott Foster following the Golden State Warriors loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday (Nov. 22.)
Foster became the focal point of the Warriors’ contest when he ejected Chris Paul late in the second quarter by issuing two quick technicals. He issued Steve Kerr a technical for arguing the ejection.
When speaking to the media during his postgame press conference, Curry said he believed Paul’s ejection wasn’t justified. The star guard explained Paul and Foster were talking to each other before the situation escalated.
“I think we were down double-digits already; we obviously needed CP and his leadership with the way he manages the game,” Curry said. “I don’t like and appreciate … I know there’s history and all that … When both the player and the ref engage in conversation, it has to kind of stay there. I told Scott that after he ejected him. There are certain situations when players overstep. It happens a lot. … When both are engaging, I don’t like that. That’s the part that messed with me. When I was watching it, it was two guys talking, speaking their truths. Let’s just play basketball.”
Golden State has struggled throughout November. Being forced into a short-handed situation for the second half of a game against a fellow Western Conference contender was far from ideal.
