Seth Curry has actually gotten accustomed to seeing his sibling Steph make deep runs in the NBA playoffs year after year, as the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals in each of the past five seasons.
2019-20 saw the script flipped for the Curry family, as Seth and his Dallas Mavericks will be among the eight Western Conference groups in the 2019-20 playoffs, while Steph and Golden State finished at the bottom of the West standings, going 15-50 before the NBAs suspension of the season in March.
” For the majority of my profession, Im normally the one whos been home enjoying Steph late in the season,” Seth told the New York Times Marc Stein. “Now its the other method around and Im still at work. I can tell its a little difficult on him.”

Steph did inform Stein that hes felt a bit of “FOMO” about the Warriors not being amongst the 22 NBA teams initially chosen to play in the NBAs reboot in Orlando, Fla.
The two-time NBA MVP played in just 5 games this season after breaking his hand early in the season, and with fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson missing the whole season while rehabbing from a torn ACL, there wasnt much expect a return to the NBA Finals this season.
” Obviously I mored than happy to see basketball back on TV, however that first week I had major FOMO (fear of missing out),” he informed The New York Times Marc Stein on Sunday night. “Once you see Bron (LeBron James) and Kawhi (Leonard) and P.G. (Paul George) go at it, and you keep in mind how much enjoyable it is to play in those kinds of games and that sort of level, you miss it terribly.”

Its not surprising that the hyper-competitive Steph would be a bit envious of his brother, however he also informed Stein he might see himself travelling to Orlando with his household to see Seth and the Mavericks if they can advance out of the first round of the playoffs.
Hypothetically getting nine months to recuperate before the 2020-21 season will be critical for Thompson and Curry after so lots of additional playoff games over the past 5 years.
