Maybe but when you have Curry, you never know how hot he can get on any given night.
Meh, Curry doesn't strike fear like he once did. He was scoreless the entire second half the last time we played.
Keep in mind he has been dealing with a thumb injury on his shooting hand and knee bursitis. He needs to take some time off, but he feels compelled to play with the Warriors situation. The problem is that he hasn't been able to help to his usual standard, so it would have been better if he just took some time awhile ago by now.
But... not feeling optimistic about tonight's game. Last night Jackson Rowe got his first NBA points, so that's some of the rotation you'll be seeing. Warriors have Kuminga/Moody/TJD out with injuries, then 3 rotation players gone in a trade & Jimmy/buy out guys aren't here yet.
Draymond looks older this year, but looks worse coming back from that calf strain -- probably couldn't stay in shape while it healed. So I think the Lakers win by 20 tonight.
