Moose Moody the willingly admits : being outside the rotation of Steve Kerr, “ it sucks “. In New Orleans two weeks ago, on a night when the Warriors stars were rested, he played 33 minutes. The following match, only five minutes before chaining three “DNP” in four games…
This night against the Rockets, in the absence of Klay Thompson, he was reinstated by his coach and benefited from 17 minutes. Playing time which he took full advantage of to score 11 points at 4/5 on shots, including a perfect 3/3 from afar. Above all, the rear was very important in the fourth quarter with three baskets scored to allow the Californians to catch some air in the score.
He therefore responded despite his very random playing time. Steve Kerr sees in it the mark of ” his professionalism and character. This guy hasn’t played in a month, he’s worked really hard every day, hard, in the weight room and on the court, taking extra shots. Moses is someone in whom I humanly believe. It takes a lot of character to come off the bench, remove ‘cobwebs’, take in important shots and play important minutes. Moses hat. »
This is the kind of performance that can reassure the state of mind of the men on the Californian bench, sometimes decried this season. ” That’s how it goes, especially with the way our squad is built and mixing up the rotations a bit. You just have to stay ready and play with confidence when you’re on the pitch. He got in straight away, took his first two shots and played with a lot of energy. “, also greets Stephen Curry.
The latter considers that there is no surprise in this because his teammate is ” a hard worker. He has a great attitude, he understands the challenges he faces to be in the rotation consistently and when that doesn’t happen he stays positive, he stays engaged and when he’s ready to play, he plays. »
Considered one of the great hopes for the future of the Warriors, the 20-year-old is aware of having to ” be strong constantly to get those minutes. ” I feel more ready than ever. I know I can fight anyone “, he displays serenely. A serenity he showed last night.
