Curry und Klay both questionable for tonight. Participated in the shootout, though.

Just in case you guys care about that info.

I hope JV starts Oladipo and Payton. Only way we'll even have anywhere near a chance of winning. Win tonight would be huge.

We get a do-over after not looking like a team against them, so maybe they will play with fire just to prove that was a fluke. I like Chef Curry too so i will watch just for the fun of it. Maybe something crazy will happen, like Frye dunking on someone. :lol:

cheer up folks. Good chance BOTH Curry and Klay sit out with minor injuries and Lee won't return for a couple games.
That MIGHT not be enough but it sure ought to make it much closer.

GSW might feel comfortable sitting Curry, only way we have a shot. I'm not even hoping for a win either way. Just want to see a competitive game and some continued good play out of our young guys.

I would actually be pretty bummed if Curry doesn't play. I was most looking forward to watching him play tonight. One of my favorite players not on the Magic. I'm happy that I can study for my finals, watch Agents of Shield and then the game. :)
