    i would think that, but he keeps saying he's not injured. its the media that keeps saying he must be because otherwise the rockets couldn't play him that well

    Biggest irony from all of this is that none of the journalists GAF about CP3's noticable limp and his iced achilles during the 4th qtr.

    Between injury and his oh so slight frame, Curry has no real oncourt retort to the Rox attacking, physical strategy (except for repeatedly falling to the floor). Ironically, because of his importance to the GSW team, they won't take him out of the game, either. This is brilliance from D'Antoni.

    If Curry were 100% (which I don't believe he is), GSW could counter by running their offense through him, effectively putting KD off ball where we still couldn't ignore him, thus opening the lanes for the rest of the GSW team. Then Curry could run off screens, drive & kick and just be an overall beastly pest. But he isn't, and he's getting abused physically.

    So, to me, their fate is already sealed. Unless by some miracle they can run O through Dray (which has an almost zero percent chance of happening), they are gonna have to jump on KD's back and hope he figures out how to do more than just score. Check the stats: He hasn't proven he can get other players great looks (1 assist??? Wtf) and the Rox just proved they can win far and away despite KD eviscerating man coverage. It takes more than one incredible player to beat this incredible Rox team.

    It's early but I'm calling checkmate in this match. Game set match Houston.

    I really don't care if he "makes a good point" or not, I can't listen to that clown for more than about 5 seconds.

    eta: I just tried again. How do you people listen to this crap?

    Sounds like he's back tracking on his prediction and making excuses for Curry and GSW to me.

    Playoffs are always more physical Specious A. Smith!

    When Curry finds the right melds to counter his menstrual cramps - watch out!

    SAS is a beatch.
