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.



He's "100%"

Knees injuries take a while to come back from, especially for a basketball player. I think you need at least a month after it has healed before you get your game back.

Never at all did I feel worried or threatened of the warriors dropping this game. If I get that same feeling early in game 4 then this is ending in 5.

I guess he should've just let them come back in the game instead.

Down 25, 8:45 left. MDA still has gimped Paul in ... He's delusional sometimes.

Edit: Down 29 with 7 left Harden, Ariza, Gordon still in. Ariza about to get suspended. Get Joe Chi up.

Take Curry's 35 points away

THEY STILL WIN BY 6

No impact at all

Especially crazy ones. Before you know it you're seeing hallucinations like Lebron deciding to take his talents to Boston. :nod:

Just finished the game and loved reading all the early "Curry hot takes" from the haters! I think game 4 we will finally get a game where both teams are playing at a high level. GS knows they need to win at home before returning to Houston and the Rockets can't go down 3-1. I see home wins for each team with GS winning in 6.

Well, the main thing that makes this team so damn great is the fact that they can turn a 5 point lead into a 25 point lead within a 3-5 minute stretch. A lot of that has to do with the Splash Bros.

As crazy as it sounds, Curry is so underrated. I think he's much closer to challenging LeBron for the best player in the league than Durant is.

CP3's flop at 3 minutes in left me rolling. What a work of art he is.

I wonder what the reaction would be if Lebron, Durant, Westbrook, etc. danced and showboated the way Curry does at seemingly every instance of great play.
