Both Hussra and LTG are missing the fact that Curry has knee problems this postseason. LTG, him missing games this postseason doesn't support the contention that he's therefore rested, it suggests that he's obviously not 100%. If they lose I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of those times where a team leaks stories indicating that an injury to a player was more severe than reported.

Given what happened last year, with GS benefiting greatly from injuries, I don't really see the point in using them as an excuse this year.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I think he is hurt but I don't think it is affecting his play as much as having to guard Westbrook. Prior to this season he'd never guarded Westbrook. Also, Curry has had explosive games post injury. Against Portland he went off a few times and he also went off in game two. He is moving around fairly well in my opinion but he has to guard which they never want him to do. I think they will switch him over to Robertson next game. If that happens expect him to play much better.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the most correct.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Exactly. GS is getting their ass kicked and it is about matchups, not about fatigue.

With that said, this series is not over. Would not surprise me at all to see this one still go 7 games.

Haven't watched a lot of this but one thing ill say is Westbrook is what Derrick Rose would be if he were good. Fucker is a baller .

How is Curry clanking wide-open 3's, missing layups and even duffing FT's a "match up" issue.

Golden State in its current incarnation had "match up" issues with every team they faced. Their insane offensive prowess had a way of overcoming what on paper were poor matchups for them.

Not only will the Thunder win the series, they will only lose one game.

Any true fan of NBA basketball saw this coming a mile away.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

I want to get on Hussras fatigue train because he makes a compelling argument but Curry's injury has to be it right?


They'll probably still win. Baygs laid it out in his post. They win Game 5, they probably win the series, imo

Curry's multiple injury issues--sore ankle, sore shoulder/elbow?, strained knee, etc are another product of the insane season he and the Warriors had.

Curry shot 240 more 3's this season than in any of his recent seasons---and he led the league in 3 attempts
all 4 seasons. Shooting 10+ 3's a game + practice. And Curry was often shooting from 25 foot+.

Go out and shoot ten 25 footers in a row without anyone from the NBA guarding you. [please consult your physician before attempting. Half the board would prolly end up in the ER with sprains trying to shoot 10 25 footers in a row. Some of us might even go Pasta trying it ]



Maybe Curry could've saved a couple hundred 3's for the playoffs-- Warriors still make the playoffs and likely still have home court throughout. And Curry's not nursing sore everything.


I still think this is a series. It goes at least 6 and OKC cannot lose at home or else they are done.






I think they can get up for a game 5 at home and win. Hard to see them taking 3 in a row vs a less tired OKC team [absent the NBA/refs putting their whistle on the scale]. But if they do:
