    "The rest of the series" is probably just one game. Doesn't really tell you much.

    Im going to say he'll be out 2-3 weeks. The hard part is knowing the latter part of the timetable because of how desperate they may or may not feel at the end of 2 or 3 weeks or so. It'll be interesting to see if they give Curry final say, if theyre struggling in WCF. You know he'll play.



    Howard is stiff..he needed an outside force to get the knee to cave in...Curry is more hypermobile...also a guard...cant risk with Curry what you can risk with A big who's just a rebounder and dunker.

    If he's smart, then he's going to be out for several weeks. First the ankle, now this... A premature return is basically asking for some type of additional injury resulting in reconstructive surgery. Horrible timing for him and the Warriors, but he can ask KD how it played out for him when he rushed it -- Just in case he needs some convincing.

    Ok, now that we know this we can prepare for one lineup (Livingston).

    I would start KJ and mirror his minutes with Livingston. Mirror Klays' minutes with Ariza. Mirror Speights minutes with Capella. Mirror Greene minutes with DMo. Put in Beasley when Greene is not on the floor.

    Steph Curry awarded with MVP honors for making it possible for the Spurs Championship. Lebron and the Cavs are yet again disappointed but that's how the story goes.

    Who would have thought DMo's butt sweat would be the key to the Rocket's stopping Curry.

    Dmo co-MVP honors along with Curry for helping the Spurs when the 2016 Championship.

    good news..
    I hate injuries and i was hoping to watch the true finals and epic showdown between the spurs and warriors..

    I bet warrior fans are rooting for Portland to stretch that series.

    Sounds good but JB is a moron. He's going to have old ass Terry out there while Livingston shoots jumpers all day over him.

    "Yes, There's Silver lining to Bev's injury, more minutes for my Corey Brewer." "When I die, I want him by my side." says JB. :p

    Curry is out next rd more than likely. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

    The last game of next rd is the 16th of May and could be as early as May 14th.

    That's 3 weeks. I don't see it happening. Clippers or Blazers might be going to the WCF.

    Even if Bev is ready to go, I would start KJ and have Bev come off the bench. Not only can we contain Livingston a little but we can also contain Clark with Bev.

    I'm no fan of the Warriors but I don't want someone to get hurt (they were so lucky last season in staying healthy) nor watch anything less than a Warriors - Spurs smackdown.

    GSW should be able to still beat the Clips (no disrespect to the Blazers; lots of disrespect for my own clown-car team), but if there's a way for them to actually be challenged, it's losing their best player.
