Kenny Smith stated after the game that Lillard is a deeper shooter than Warriors superstar Steph Curry. However, Curry reacted to his statement by mentioning that he was trippin’ after seeing a brilliant performance by Dame. Curry has revolutionized the league with his highly efficient shooting from distance forcing his rivals to alter their game-styles to compete against him and his Warriors squad.

The analyst later replied he has forgot about the 3-time NBA champion as Curry has been out for a long time after suffering a major injury earlier this season.

Damian Lillard will look to continue with his gigantic performances in game 2 against the Lakers who will be expected to come out swinging against the Blazers after a dismal showing.

Meanwhile, Curry will look to come back strongly next season with the Dubs who will be expected to challenge the top dogs in the West. Curry was an integral part of the Warriors squad that made 5 straight finals appearances from 2015-2019 and won 3 championships during that span.
