Mo Speights is feeling confident entering the deciding Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals on Sunday. In fact, he believes reigning league MVP Steph Curry is going to blow up with a huge game.
Writing in The Players’ Tribune, the Golden State Warriors center made two predictions, one of which was that Curry would have a monster performance in Game 7.
I got two predictions for you for Sunday.
Number 1: All our guys are gonna leave their guts out on the court.
Number 2: Steph’s gonna go off on Sunday.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes out and scores 50.
With all the things the media’s been saying about him, and everything on Twitter, I know he’s going to respond.
Curry’s scoring has actually been down in the postseason. He went from averaging 30.1 points per game in the regular season to 25.6 points per game in the playoffs. He put up 40 points in Game 4 against Portland and 38 in a Game 4 win over the Cavs, and those were his two highest totals.
If Curry puts up 50 points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals and leads the Warriors to victory, that would be the ultimate statement. And just remember: You heard it from Mo first.
