He's 100% now. The only reason he's been sitting out is because of soreness and precautionary measures. He's expected to play game 4 now

Regardless though the warriors made a bunch of mistakes and were having a hard time converting on easy shots.


Anti-Warriors agenda? More like GSW players are finally being called out on their dirty plays and people are getting defensive.

Because no one likes Howard nobody really talked about Bogut trying to Olynyk him. And Green tackled Beasley at the end of the game.



I'm talking about 73* wins and no wonder curry is a superstar he has his own set of lineman, I don't think anybody that's not a warrior fan has denied GS sets a bunch of semi illegal screens.

A lot of the baseless hate, talk about the refs being in their pocket and them being the nba's golden child were all arguments that were used against the heat.

About the two fouls

The Bogut thing was absolutely dirty and he has been sneakily dirty for awhile now. The green thing is underplayed by warriors fans but Beasley was kind of spazzing out and he wasn't being tackled. Lightly shoved and a flagrant but he did grab him by the hips MMA style


:D There's nothing low-key about Bogut. He jacked Dwight Howard in the back of the head last year. I remember his dirty screens and holding/arm bars being a talking point going all the way back to Milwaukee.

I'm following the conversation on RealGM somewhat, and I'm more on the Draymond-Green-side of things here ... I like Curry a lot, he is extremely fun to watch, but I would not say that he is GOAT-level yet. I'm really confident that I would take Jordan, O'Neal, Olajuwon, Garnett and James ahead of him in terms of peak-level. He is the GOAT shooter, without a doubt; he is even more versatile in creating his own perimeter shot than Steve Nash was, which has a lot to do with his extreme quick release. Besides that he can create the offense for others, but I think that in time teams can adapt their defense accordingly to lower Curry overall offensive impact more than they could do that for Jordan or O'Neal. I think that some of that was seen over the course of the season already. We need to see how Currys can further improve and find a counter to the other teams' "counter" ... But he also needs to be healthy. Hopefully, him sitting out now for two games was just a precaution and not a sign of something serious. He had ankle issues in the past and there were some questionmarks, but it did seem to have vanished. Maybe he should ask Nowitzki for advice to get some "rubber-ankles", he rolled his ankles multiple times and still had/has a long career.
But in his home dwelling...the hi-top faded warrior is revered. *Smack!* The sound of his palm blocking the basketball... the sound of thousands rising, roaring... the sound of "get that sugar honey iced tea outta here!"

Yup, unless he feels pain tomorrow morning. Apparently he's not going to play his usual minutes, though.

Steph Curry slipped at end of first half, fell down, limped off court while heading to locker room. #Rockets #Warriors

He doesn't appear to even want to be out there today at least the 1st half showed that.

Oh god I just saw the fall.

Might be overreacting but he might be out for the playoffs. Maybe more, either that or it's just a bruise and I'm overreacting.

No way he plays the rest of the series though.

So I suppose the elephant in the room is that Steph might end up being this generation's guard version of Bill Walton :(

If there's no injury-risk - i.e. just a bruise or something like this - players usually play through it, especially in the playoffs. It had nothing to do with his ankle, it was officially his right knee (according to Ros).

Look at Curry' career trajectory and Walton's. You might be able to spot minor differences. It's especially weird to say this after he just slipped and landed awkwardly, something that happens to everyone in the NBA once in a while to some extent, although he's not even going to sit the rest of this game.

It's difficult to say anything without MRI, but probably even in best case scenario he would miss most of series vs LAC.

They lose to the Clippers if Steph misses the bulk of that series. Just a crazy turn of events if it's serious. Could be staring at Lebron vs the Spurs part 4 if that's the case.

I hope Steph is ok. I hate seeing injuries impact these seasons so heavily. Last year Golden State was the beneficiary of some injury breaks in the finals. This year they might catch the roughest luck ever if Stephs slip takes down the GOAT regular season
