Unfortunately, you can't just play through a hamstring injury. It demands rest.

Houston deserves this series.


That's not true. Paul has played through bad ones before. But if it's torn obviously he's done.

Looney or Cook should not be playing major minutes in the playoffs.

That's the weakness of a Super Team. You have no depth.

Without their death lineup, the Warriors lose their magic.


Yep...this is the truth. I posted the same back on Warriors board. Iggy has saved the Warriors in most of the moments to win championships. Down against Cavs in 15 he was inserted as started and the Warriors won. In 16 he had back issues and Warriors lost. Back for 17 they win. Yes Durant add in the short term made them talent wise better...but...

The truth is that Iggy and Draymond have been hiding the fact that Curry has never been a big game player in the playoffs. He can go off in the 3rd but he almost never has big 4th quarters.

I love the personalities....nice guys....But right now they are looking like chicken $hits out there.

Just think of game 7 in 16....Draymond and Iggy playing their asses off and both Curry and Klay completely fading under the pressure of the moment.

Game 5 in the bag and only have to execute it out....loss. This game and just can't do anything with authority to take the game.

If Paul is out, Harden can really earn his MVP game 6 or 7. Be a problem.

When a MVP is being coached like you coach the best player playing in AAU under16...you either talking to Kobe...Or KD...

He went to GSW because allegedly, he wanted to have fun and he liked Warriors' brand of ball.

Then he goes there and just isos the **** out of every possession.

Warriors ran many iso plays even when KD was on the bench and Curry was on court, it has more to do with the Rockets defense and switching. If you wanna blame, stop blaming KD and blame your coach and give more credit to Rockets defense who have been nothing short of outstanding

The question that nobody wants to ask is just wth is Curry doing in 4th quarters? He keeps passing the ball to Durant, Green and Klay then these pathetic Curry fans keep blaming them for taking the tough shots while Curry disappears. If he is such a great scorer why isn't he taking over? This isn't on Kerr either, Curry has to take over instead of dropping the ball like a hot cake in the clutch. I see too many excuses for Curry who is supposedly one of the greatest shooter/ scorers ever according to these fans....


Just too much respect for KD and Kerr listening to them. He needs so straight up tell them to **** off.


curry is not the problem honestly. neither is KD. steve kere is just being outcoached guys. He realized that the rockets took away what they do best so he decided to go iso with durant because lets be real gsws are actually more talenteds superstar wise. they have the guys to get it done but they just wasnt ready for the rockets man. they are playing our game

He specifically told KD to stop the iso and KD isoed the next play. You could see Kerr screaming for him to do something.

It’s not Kerr’s fault that KD won’t stop the iso.


Yes that is on Kerr. If he tells a player something and the player doesnt do it, guess what. Kerr is the coach and has the ability to take him out of the game and keep him out until he buys into the team system instead of the ISO.

If anything the fact that it was known that Kerr was telling him to stop ISOing and KD didnt, speaks volumes for KD and the respect he has for Kerr as the head coach.


no coach in the modern nba would sit his superstar for shooting too much. Sorry thats just not reality.


He has a 2x MVP and 2 more all nba level players to fall back on. Its a great way to teach a lesson to one of your star players.

And it wouldnt be benching him for taking too many shots, it would be benching him for killing the team's offensive flow. If he doesnt do something like that, then we can just expect KD to keep doing what he is doing.

Team of mental midgets and a fraudulent head coach.


Yeah, I don't remember the 90's Bulls being this mentally fragile. This Warriors team reminds me more of the Spurs. Not exactly a bad thing, but they had plenty of series where you wonder, "wait, this is the title defender?"

Wishful thinking but I'd like to think if it was his hammy, he wouldn't have been moving on it the way he was. Fingers crossed.


he'll play no doubt in my mind he wont be 100% but he'll play.


Paul is no stranger to a hammy so the fact that he was so despondent is not a good sign.

Lmao this guys don't even watch the game. When the play break down they post up KD. They are not posting up KD the first second of the shot clock. KD should iso less but you would think they don't iso when he is out but they do.
