No. In my opinion Curry is still injured. There are things about the way he is moving that is not how he moves when healthy. He did what he did despite not being as healthy as the other players.

This. Idk why people think it was crazy his movement clearly wasnt the same just because he played well doesnt change what the eyes see and he still doesnt have that quickness back to 100% yet

The truth is the Warriors starters could have played better. Thompson only got 13. Curry wasn't human on fire all game.

Warrior reserves played better at home

It's really unfortunate for the Rockets that Luc's shoulder is making him almost unplayable. He had Iggy level value to the Rockets this season.

Houston is not good enough to beat the Warriors.

They're role player will not play well enough to win a game in Oakland.

Pressure will e very high in Game 5. I'm sticking with my Warriors in 5 pick.

Curry was at one point 1-7 from 3 with a lot of open looks. Game would have easily been over as early as the 2nd Q had the Ws knocked down 3-4 open 3's.

Luc is unplayable. This series and the season were over in October. When is the draft again?

I have said it many times , curry started the game 1-7 from 3s, then suddenly at 3rd quarter when the warriors are up by 15-25 he dropped some 3s. That’s not impactful. Where was curry when the game was tight in th3 first half when he was needed the most ? It was Durant who held the court again for the warriors. Curry is someone who plays much better when comfortable, and shrinks when the pressure is high. Fake superstar. When you are up by 25, does it really matter you drop some 3s? Do it when the game is tight

This was a demoralizing loss for the Rockets.

But... they do their job for the road set if they sneak out a win game 4. GS better not feel too accomplished for what they did today.

Warriors aren't shooting the greatest in this series. Curry's shooting has been horrible in the first two games but he turned it around today. Before today, the Warriors have been shooting the 3pt badly. The bottom line is, if the Warriors are able to shoot the averages, or if they exceed their averages, it's over for Houston.



I think his defense is a liability.

When the Rockets are ahead then yeah, his defense is not as much of a liability.

But when the Rockets are down, his lack of defense becomes an even bigger problem. You can't come back with just offense in the playoffs. Defense has to be a part of it, getting blown by multiple times in a game means you can't come back with Harden on the floor......
I'm so tired of the typical......

If you can't see that Curry blew that game open in a 2 min stretch of the 3rd, then you simply weren't even watching the game.
