9Th best? Lol. Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green... Iggy is the 5Th best. Better than Looney or Livingston or Bell or Pachulia or McGee or Nick Young. He's also been, for his career, one of the best Harden defenders. Game 4 is a must win. Which should be easier if Iggy is out
That actually sucks. Cuz iggy has been trash and now they bring in Cook or Bell who actually perform way better.
That's not a minor loss for the Warriors if he's out. He may be the 5th best member of their death lineup(no, I won't refer to it by its other idiotic name), but he's still key to their ability to go small and still dominate at both ends of the floor. Without him, they likely start Looney. He's had some good moments this series, but that's an inferior lineup to what the Rockets have been facing.
That finals mvp is still one of most pathetic and embarrassing things that’s ever happened in sports
The Warriors were 0-2 vs the Rockets in the regular season without Iggy. Cook might be better offensively(if the Rockets forget to guard him), but defensively they lose a ton.
Dont underestimate how big this is. He was huge for them in game 3. Yall remember iggy was their 2nd leading scorer behind durant at halftime. He is also huge in preventing perimeter players like harden, lebron, or paul from breaking down a defense and creating.
I'll be curious how long he's out with this. A knee contusion is no joke. CP3 had one and was out a month. He probably could've returned sooner had it been do-or-die(i.e. postseason), but with the series now shifting to playing every other day, will Iggy also have to miss Game 5? Game 6(if the Rockets force one)?
