I"m pretty sure Jordan could lock down Curry at 25 feet today.
At age 53.

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.

They can play defense without him but will struggle to score 100 points per game, which is what they'll need against SA and Cleveland.

It's a Grade 1 sprain ... not a grade 2 sprain.dnc said:Grade 2 MCL sprain. Will be reevaluated in two weeks.

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. -

Green, Speights and Livingston would be able to handle them no problem.RoadDawg55 said:
You actually think the Warriors without Curry can beat the Spurs? Are you planning on taking out Leonard, Aldridge, and Parker?TierbsHsotBoobs said:
I still lean Warriors without Curry, but it's very close.RoadDawg55 said:
Boobie 2.0 continues to be a disaster. Major pressing, especially when you yourself say nothing but the WCF matter.TierbsHsotBoobs said:I like to be RoadDoog fucking stupid and make bold NBA proclamations without even knowing what the second round matchups are.
I do that.
Next question. -
NO Dipshit. The Warriors play the best D in the league and Curry has little to do with that.RoadDawg55 said:
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.Tequilla said: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.
I like Livingston a lot a a role player, but the Rockets play no d. The Spurs play the best defense in the league. -
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.
