It looks like neither Stephen Curry nor coach Steve Kerr is ready to quit each other or the Golden State Warriors just yet.

Earlier this week, there was renewed excitement about the Warriors after Curry was in vintage form during a 126-121 NBA Play-In Tournament win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Boy, can things change quickly in just a matter of days.

On Friday night, they looked to lock up the eighth seed in the West in their second Play-In game, this time against the Phoenix Suns. They finished the first quarter down 33-15, had trouble catching up for the rest of the night, and fell dominantly by a score of 111-97. It brought a close to a resoundingly disappointing 37-45 seasons that began with real NBA Finals aspirations.

It created immediate speculation about the futures of Curry, Kerr, and fellow core member of their dynasty, Draymond Green. Curry turned 38 last month and struggled to compete in half of their games this season because of injuries. Kerr has seemed war-weary for the last few years and looks like he needs a break. Green is as volatile as ever, but he isn’t close to as effective on the court as he was during his prime.

Yet, despite a belief that one or two of them could be gone after this season, it looks like they are not ready to quit each other yet. Following their loss to the Suns, Curry was optimistic he could fully rehab his troublesome knee and thinks he has . Furthermore, he claimed he is open to signing an extension with the team. One would assume it is for a little less money, but with extra guaranteed years.
