Regarding the Curry potential injury, believe it or not the knee might have felt good at first but the pounding and wear and tear has already taken a toll on it. I'm sure we have all had lingering injuries like that. But as someone said, I don't think that's why OKC is winning by any means
 
We haven't really heard anything about Curry being injured until his team goes down 3-1 in a series. Now they might be eliminated and he's hurt? Nah, don't want to hear that ****. This all started with game 1. Golden State got curb stomped, they thought the would easily take one. OKC took that game and shocked the world. That gave OKC all the confidence in the world and deflated GS. OKC has had better coaching and playing this entire series and has always been a bad matchup for GS.
 
Steph very well may be hurt but he's thugging it out.

Not sure what draymonds problem is, but he's been one of the worst players in the series.
 
Thunder playing like Nova in the tourney
ohwell.gif


too soon bro.

all this injury stuff concerning curry is lame. Why claim it when you're 1 game away from being eliminated.

If he wasn't healthy in the portland series he should've sat out more, they were going to win that series regardless of him playing.

He should've stayed out of the Portland series completely. Steph was putting Russy's head on a swivel in the regular season. Steph's lateral movements are limited but I would agree that it isn't the only reason they're losing but it's a factor.
 
I don't wanna hear any excuses for Curry being hurt...we ain here anything when he was dropping 40 on Portland

He still didn't look right then, he was playing on adrenaline. Y'all harping on 1 quarter and overtime to justify your argument while he hasn't looked right in the majority of time otherwise.

You really gonna sit here and tell me a guy who relies on his shiftiness and lower body power to execute the way he does on offense isn't going to be hampered by an injury that effects both of those things?

This guy torched the best wing defenders in the league all year but now he can't even get buckets on Ibaka or Adams.

Like I said before, respect to Steph for not saying anything but anybody who has been watching him all year can see that he's not right.

40 point game 4, no injury talk.

29/11 on 63% eFG, 67% TS in game 5, no injury talk.

26/10/7 on 55% eFG, 57% TS in G1 of this series, no injury talk.

29 in 30 mins in G2, no injury talk.

24 points on 50% eFG, 58%TS in G3, no injury talk.

Goes 6/20 in G4 & all of a sudden he's been injured the whole time.

Nah man.

we've seen this before... David Robinson was demolished by Hakeem after getting the MVP ... never thought i would see it again but Steph has lost all confidence out there ... as soon as he jumped into contact for the three free throws in the first, i knew it was a wrap ... 

shocking ...

FACTS...that had desperation written all over it
 
They have to stop that hook pass from the top of the key play they run. Well the play is fine and the curling offensive player actually goes get a bit of daylight on their defender, but they throw that pass so lazily every time, probably accounted for half of their turnovers last night. It's by design, one of Presti's weird fetishes, but the Thunder are probably the longest wingspan team in the NBA. Westbrook's is 6'9 then everyone else in the starting lineup is upwards of 7ft.
 
Yall were spouting the same BS when the warriors were down 2 to 1 on the road against Mem and Clear LOL. Aint no way OKC shoots 60 percent and GS shoots in the 30s next game.

Didn't Memphis have injuries?

Bhz 8o
Doesnt matter, people were still saying Mem was too physical for GS

Injuries don't matter?


Injuries had a huge impact on OKC since they made the finals in 2012

Who cares about 2012 or even last season.
 
It doesn't matter at this point honestly. GS has benefited in the playoffs from facing teams with injuries to key players the past two years. Those teams had to deal with it and so do they once he steps on that court I dont want to hear any excuses because if it was Lebron, Kd, or any other star they wouldn't get that pass.


You right but that's a key part of being a dynasty, injury luck.

They just got unlucky at the wrong time, if Stepb has the knee sprain in December he sits out a month.and comes back fine.

Pretty much.

You're right but this time the luck isn't on their side. Klay gave them a shot in the 3rd but everyone else went MIA...all I heard was GS had the best bench in the league all yr where have they been this series?
 
I thought Steph was back? Didn't he say so during a game?

Now we wanna talk about luck? Warriors fans were livid when Doc said every championship run has a bit of luck to it :lol

Steph should sit out game 5 if he's hurt.

Bench looking wild funny in the light for sure, Iggy getting roasted by KD whenever he steps on the floor.

Also for some reason Kerr thinks it's a smart basketball move to play Varejao.


But really, the two biggest factors are Draymond falling off a cliff and Bogut getting dominated by Adams who is basically his younger self sans injuries.
 
I'm sure Steph was hurt but he was moving well enough to get himself open and get to the rim and run down court. I didn't t see any limping. He's saying he's fine.

He was missing shots.. He went 0/5 on open shots. He was making bad passes. He was even missing free throws. He had a couple wtf was he thinking moments. That's not on his knee man.

He was a shook one for sure.

I do respect him for. His post games. He made no excuses so we shouldn't be seeing excuses made for him on here.

Let's hope he gets back on track.
