"The only thing I need to be sure about is the stability of (the ankle) - when I need to call on a certain move, or a certain pivot, or plant, change of direction, change of speeds, that my ankle will be underneath me - and I feel that I'm at that point right now. I can deal with a little bit of pain and discomfort - not pain, (but) discomfort - that comes along with it as long as I can feel stable. I don't foresee that being an issue."
"It's not pain. It's like soreness that comes along with all that my ankle has been through. It's kind of to be expected, and I see it as this is kind of my playoff thing now. Everybody has something that they're dealing with in some way, shape or form. It's stable, there's no swelling or anything so I can do everything I need to do."
"You've kind of got to force yourself (into playing freely) at this point. I don't know how it will be tomorrow, when I get out there in a game situation and I don't know where my mind will be. I know I have confidence with what I've been doing the last couple of days to kind of prove I can do what I need to do, whatever move I need to try to execute."
"Like you say, play with that creativity. I feel like I can do that in this setting, and hopefully that translates to a clear mind and confidence in myself tomorrow."
- Stephen Curry
half hour ago, after shooting around in warmups, Curry hit a long floater 3 from the corner and raised his arm, ended the session.
and this tweet just came across:

Yup, he?s locked in. @StephenCurry30 is available to play today.
Pat Beverley is definitely going to get very physical with Curry, and the loud raucous home crowd will be sure to encourage it....
