    Exactly not just his shooting but his key ball handling duties in setting up the team while Curry is being mobbed.

    Excited about the next series against Spurs.

    Why the Rockets beat the Warriors early on but the Warriors are spanking the Nuggets:

    1. No Lee. Lee is a good player and gives his best effort every night. However, he is not the fastest player around nor the best defender. Without Lee, the Warriors can go small which would have matched up with the Rox's perimeter oriented offense. Otherwise, Landry can come in and give some low post offense and mid range jump shooting. Lee is the better overall offensive player but Landry doesn't demand the ball as much and Curry / Jack can just fire away from the perimeter.

    2. Don't underestimate the presence of Bogut. The man has a mean streak and as seen tonight, is a major presence in the middle. If the Warriors have Bogut against the Rox more, it would have made a big difference in the games.

    They got run out of the building to start today, would have won if there was another quarter.

    Curry started to step it up towards the end but good adjustments were made by Denver tonight.

    Next game will be key.

    I like that when Curry struggles he doesn't force the issue and get turnover after turnover, waiting for his time.

    This series was over when Denver couldn't carry out their hot start and blow them out. It was over by halftime.

    Curry is sick with his passing ability.

    This team does not miss in 3rd quarter.. GS is shooting about 70% in the 2nd half so far

    they are clearly better without their only all-star - David Lee...why people were claiming then that theres no way rockets could be better without harden?

    If the warriors had played all season like this, they would've been a 3rd or 4th seed in the western conference. Jack and Bogut are stepping up beautifully, bringing GS to another level that Curry alone can't achieve

    or the Nuggets won't be 3rd... they would be 6th or 7th with this performance

    Umm didn't we spank them one game by 30-40, and then on revenge game they still lost to us. I don't think Bogut would had helped on the 30-40 point beating. I think we match up pretty well against Warriors, not so much the Nuggets. They obviously match up well vs Nuggets, though I think a bit is because Farried who kills us, was playing hurt against them.

    GSW is a team that make Morey look less magical than we thought he is. It's not too long ago the team led by Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson beat the then title contender Dallas Mavericks. And now they advance to the 2nd round again led by its superstar Steph Curry.

    You are so right. Regular season record is much more important than playoff success. :rolleyes:
