JaMychal Green on his performance in game 2: "First series, I was struggling a bit. Then we a had a team meeting and Steph said some powerful words, and it got me locked in. I let go of everything, and I was just all about the team.

I thought this was an interesting sound-bite. It seemed that in Steph's speech, he was really addressing the people on the team who were in their feelings about their own individual role or performance. Maybe JaMychal Green was one of those people.

Original article about the locker room speech

According to multiple sources in the private session, Curry told the team he believed in them, that they had enough to win. He asked for their trust in return. He assured them he could deliver victory if they all bought in. He implored them to put all of their feelings aside — which sources with knowledge of the locker room felt was messaging directed at Poole, Jonathan Kuminga and other guys who might’ve been unhappy for reasons such as playing time and role — and lock in to the unified mission. Anyone who wanted to remain in their emotions, he told them to stay home. Anyone who was ready for their vacation, he told them not to get on the bus for Sacramento. But anyone who did get on the bus, Curry took that as a signature of approval, a binding agreement to be on board with the mission. And if they did that, if they got on the bus, he promised he’d deliver. With his game, his faith, their solidarity, they’d win.
