    Not a big steffi fan but you don’t want to see him injured. He is lucky that he only got a tailbone bruise. Could have been far worse

    It is weird that they don't have any buffers in place to prevent players falling out of bound from injuring themselves like that. Metal steps?

    Again, it depends on how you define "playmaker". If you include the shot opportunities created by Curry off-ball, then he'd have to be up there as well.


    This definition has been contorted to death.

    And it's not a fact that "playmaker" only applies to on-ball playmaking.

    So again. What facts have I contorted to fit my narrative?

    Curry's so great even he gets his team more shot opportunites while sitting out

    Not possible. Every Warriors player in his tenure cant have success in this league without Curry and his playmaking off-ball presence.

    53 point loss tonight. Looking more and more like I’m gonna win my 100 dollar bet that the warriors won’t make the playoffs even with curry playing in 90% of their games

    also has anybody seen the game that curry got “injured” in against us. It looks like he is faking the severity of his injury again. The guy was backpedaling trying to showboat or something I dunno. But to be off balance for that long looked fake. His body was wearing down and he was just looking for a way to get “injured” so he could rest

    look at the play and just watch currys feet the whole time. Curry could have fell back and slid on his butt like he usually does when he flops on 3’s, instead I believe he intentionally stayed on his feet to run into something

    check it out and tell me if I’m tripping

    If your bet really was conditioned on him playing 90% of the games, unfortunately you can’t wi because he’s already missed 8 games. A shame, because there is a fair chance the Warriors would have missed the playoffs even with him playing every game.

    so far, if Steph IF play thru/overcome injuries incurred from the burden he can carry them to the 8th seed

    Just wow @ The Warriors:
    • Durant leaves
    • Klay downsizes entire career
    • FO drafts a lotto bust
    If just one of those didn’t happen, they’d still be a playoff team. If two of those didn’t happen, they could still be dynasty level.

    Wiseman just looks really lost.
