I was in a meeting yesterday and everyone was talking about how the Warriors are the best team and if they don't win the championship because of injuries the team that does win should have an * next to them. The * would read "GSW were not fully healthy despite having the best regular season record in history".

I, of course, asked if the Warriors should have an * next to their name last year for beating the Cavs without 2 all-stars and crickets hit the room.
I hope its not bad enough to keep him from playing, but bad enough to make him suck ass.

Curry MCL sprain, out 2 weeks.

I think they dismiss Houston pretty easily but I think the Clippers can make it a series without Steph. Depends a lot on the schedule but Clippers could have 4 or 5 games to play without Steph in the lineup and that's pretty huge.

I agree with this. He'll even with a healthy curry I don't think that series would have been easy for them at all

They are "re-evaluating" after two weeks. That tells me it's worse than what they want to report.

If the clippers can't beat the Warriors without curry I don't want to hear anymore bullshit trading kyrie for cp3. I also don't want to hear bullshit about how doc is an amazing coach.

The Clippers losing to the Warriors without Curry would be such a Clippers thing to do. I don't think Curry will be even close to coming back in 2 weeks. My guess is 4-5 weeks.

I look for Livingston and AI to look like all-stars at least getting them by the Clippers.

Put up or shut up time for CP3 and Griffin

This is literally the time for LAC to shine and for Doc/CP3 to prove their worth.

Jeremy Lin (21 pts) does the Michael Jordan shrug - to Michael Jordan - on his way back up court after banking in a shot. 11m

God I hope she's exaggerating or kidding.

Westbrook and KD post-game news conference.. wow.

These two are becoming unlikable. KD has been so on edge the last 2 years. It's odd to me.

It wasn't like the MJ one. He banked in a 3, and sorta shrugged with his arms but it didn't look like when MJ did it. At least not to me.

Didnt mind KD. Defending your teammate when opposition said he wasn't a superstar. It was idiotic. Props to them both for waiting until the end of the series to address that.

Russ probably just needed to take high road with CV. But, he threw major shade, and it was awesome lol

If course Chris Paul injuries his shooting wrist. And it didn't look good at all, based on that reaction.

I'm now hoping Blazers win this series, I think Lillard and McCullom would work Curry. They wouldn't be able to hide him on defense.

Warriors are so damn lucky.

Lose curry for the clips (if they beat Portland) series? Don't worry we'll make sure their best player is also out. -basketball gods

Warriors are so fucking lucky. Watch the Spurs get upset by OKC and OKC loses KD to injury.

Maybe it's the Cavs who will be the lucky team?

I'll be surprised if OKC can get to game 7, let alone win. Durant hasn't been as good

I would agree with this especially after CP3 broke his hand.
