I would like to play a fully unhealthy Warrior's team and win, I don't give a damn what people say about it. A chip is a chip is a chip
And Bev and D-Mo already being out for the Rockets. The Rockets have no excuses now. Clinch that #1 seed no later than that final regular season home game against OKC. Then you can rest the starters against the Lakers and Kings.
I'll take it when it happens. I was already ready for “The rockets only won the championship in 2018 because Jordan wasn't playing"
that's hilarious. But look at my post above. You can see the thumb was taped during the Minny game. Beat reporter says he sprained it during that game, and apparently kept playing. I'm sure his Elaine thumb-dancing made it worse though.
Injuries to starters are no joke, they derail championship runs. Our playoff injury history? Losing Yao and TMac when we were primed to make a run, not having a starting pg (Beverley) when Harden and Dwight were actually clicking, these injuries hurt us. I hope we have some of the good fortune the championship winners have had the last few years. Man this squad is scary at full strength, I just hope the world will get a change to see it. With all that said, I think the Warriors were going to rest players anyway during the final stretch, but a fractured thumb could linger, just as Steph's ankle. This could get interesting....
If I was playing the warriors in the playoffs personally, I’d grab, yank and tug Klays hands all game. I would also step on Stephs feet game long. I’m trying to win, idgaf! Don’t judge me.
And then people bash Jazz, i just find it humorous that most people on this forum hate half NBA teams, even moreso the ones that are/were relevant or rivals or past/present/: Jazz/Spurs/Warriors/Lakers/Cavs/Mavs/Thunder and etc, they hate dirty players, yet they're ok if our players do dirty. 1st of all i don't know, maybe i'm too casual to hate anyone and just care how my team does, i can spend my energy for better things then hatting on some sports teams/players. And i find it even more funny when people wish injuries/love our team dirty plays, but then explode if it happens to us. Half this forum is bashing someone be it team or player. Its like a herd mentality one dude bashes someone and others jump on it because its "fun", guess i have very different perspective of fun. Whats even more sad this forum is by far better then anything around internet, Yahoo or realgm and etc, there you can see people hatting on everyone and everyone.
Warriors didn't play one starting PG their whole playoff run on their first ring. Jrue, Conley, Beverley, Irving were all out.
Its ok to hate on GSW, first of all they stacked the deck by having 5 stars on their team, they did it by underpaying Steph Curry the year before he won MVP. Secondly they keep Zaza Pachulia around to hurt other stars, I mean Bogut was dirty but Zaza looks to injure other players like what he did to Kawhi and tried to do to Westbrick. When you keep around a guy to hurt other players you deserve to have your own players injured. I hope Klay breaks his thumb and Steph breaks his ankle. Maybe then Kerr will know what it feels like to have your squad injured.
