If you guys can't see that Karma is with the Cavs this year I can't help you. I knew Curry was going to get hurt but was asked to hold on to the information until it could be made public
Grade 2 MCL sprain. Will be reevaluated in two weeks.
TSIO
It's a Grade 1 sprain ... not a grade 2 sprain.
If it was a Grade 2 sprain, the odds of him returning before the Finals would be slim to none.
Grade 1 probably puts him best case at the back end of a lengthy series against the Clippers but more likely at some point during the series against the Spurs.
With the type of medical support around for a NBA organization, it's likely that he'll be able to return on the front end of recovery time than the back end of it.
Assuming he's back in a series against the Spurs, I would expect that he'd have some rust to his game. It probably levels the playing field a bit as I would expect the Warriors to win the series in probably 5 or 6 games with everybody 100% healthy. Very likely that you're looking at a 7 game series at this point.

We don't even know what the injury is yet ... so premature to talk about anything until the MRI is completed and results known.
The Warriors will get a week off before the next series starts + a likely 2 week series against the Clippers before playing the Spurs. If it is just sprained knee ligaments then it's very possible that the Warriors will get Curry back.
And, while unquestionably Curry is the best player on the team and the league, they have many other pieces on their roster that are able to play at a high level. While you'd have to put the Spurs as the favorites at that point, I don't think you can write off a team as talented and proud as the Warriors. They'll figure out something.
They will be lucky to win more than a game against the Spurs. The Clippers might even beat them. Maybe not though because it's the Clippers and Blake Griffin is injured/ kind of sucks right now.
I like Livingston a lot a a role player, but the Rockets play no d. The Spurs play the best defense in the league.
NO Dipshit. The Warriors play the best D in the league and Curry has little to do with that.
This is why you don't call players all time greats during their second alleged championship year.
Curry is awesome but greatness also depends on sustainability like our great stadium. That's why a big great player is preferred over a small great player. Curry was dinged up the year Davidson made their tourney run. He was hurt early in his pro career which is why everyone is saying what a great deal Golden State got by signing him to a big contract when other teams were saying what about his durability.
If he never plays again he was great and it was worth it to win one championship. That's not the point.
The point is he's Gus Williams until he shows he isn't. Let it play out.
Golden State will be dangerous the rest of the play offs even if he is out. Winners win and they did a shit load of winning this year. The fumes will carry over.

Was anyone claiming Curry was an all time great? I saw people saying he had an all time great season, not that he was an all time great player. Maybe I missed it. Definitely agree with your synopsis overall.

If Curry is done or not close to 100% for the Spurs series it's a Spurs Cavs Finals. The Spurs are one of the best 15 teams of all time, they're not losing to a supporting cast. It's a King that they'll lose to.
Warriors are going to make a super interesting documentary 15 years from now though.
I don't even watch basketball much but when you're right you're right. I know I picked the Spurs before the playoffs, but I'm leaning Cavs right now. LeBron will get help from Kyrie, though.
