    lulz...this Script of media giving Worriers excuses just writes itself. Right after Houston is what's wrong with society.

    He was bad in the 1st round before the hand got hurt. And his past playoff performance showed that this is his norm.

    Ridiculous.

    If it was his shooting hand, fine. But since it's his non-shooting hand, there should be no excuses.

    Hands are so crucial for getting lift on dunk attempts, I fully understand the concern

    If his hand wasn't hurt he wouldn't have gotten HUNG

    Well look at Harden's eyes. Everyone knows Curry hasdislocated his finger. Harden is playing through an an ankle injury too

    It’s the cataracts eyes that he’s always been playing through. Injuries of this nature, rear their ugly heads during key playoff moments against stellar defenses time and time again.

    LMAO.

    Doesn't matter. Just win. Hell, if he is hurt, as Bill Russell would say, "run him into the ground." Win this series, win the next series, and just keep winning. They can complain all they want, and it won't matter one bit if you just win. Do whatever it takes.

    In the 1st round he averaged 25 PPG and shot 50% from 3 and 49% overall. How is that bad?

    lulz...this Bay Arean columnist for The Athletic thinks Curry saying "no excuses" means the media will stop talking about it.

    Apparently, you just looked at the stats, didn't watch the games. He was terrible in those two losses. His stats was hyped in those blow-out wins. Oh BTW, he was a liability on the defensive end, in foul trouble most of the time.

    Subtext: Definitely something wrong, but a superstar like Steph won't let on how much agony he's in.

    Meanwhile, Harden hasn't said anything at all about his eyes since the night he was injured, yet he needs to step up and quit making excuses.

    How's Harden's shooting wrist feeling though?

    Harden has no corneas and gets no sympathy. Curry with an embarrassing missed dunk that causes GSW to rage quit, there has to be something wrong.

    I don't believe it is that serious. Someone punch it ala Draymond Green and see if it is really messed up. But make sure u slam it really hard gotta see if that bone is cracked or any ligaments are torn. Yank on it a few times too. . While they are at it... how about we do a stress test on his ankles too. Next time he jumps for a shot slide a foot underneath to see if it is stable or snaps.

    Just don’t get caught, or do it if green tries any funny business. We need some sneaky guys to keep slamming into it.

    He’s not hurt enough in my opinion, steph if you’re gonna commit to acting hurt go all the way. Break your hand with a hammer and then tell the media the rockets did it. Mainstream media will report “warriors would’ve swept if it wasn’t for the dirty cheating ugly b-ball playing rockets”
