” During my career, I’ve been the one who adapts to the stars “Said Seth Curry before the meeting, not doubting for a second his ability to adapt to his new team. This night with the reception of the Kings, no stars (Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons) but a very confident Seth Curry for his debut.
While he had not reached the 20 unit mark since January 15 with the 76ers, the rear compiled 23 points (10/18 on shots), 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

I can not wait to be there “, Displays the brother of Steph.
With him, and in the absence of Joe Harris, the Nets find some welcome “spacing”. This dimension had a direct impact on the quality of passing traffic that night. After two straight games finished with only 19 and 16 assists, New Yorkers have returned to their season standard with 25 balls distributed.
” I had shooters around me: Patty (Mills and) Seth now”remarks Bruce Brown, the best passer in the game (6). “And when the others come back, there will be spaces on the pitch. “We can also imagine the damage with a Ben Simmons in the maneuver…
