Magog May 8 Share May 8 The way this 2nd round is going for me (which is very very BAD 🤬 🤬), I wouldn't be surprised if it gets even more worse for me by those Warriors winning again tonight without Steph. BTW, he will be fine. He will only be out for a week. It could be worst. It could be like Darius Garland (sprain toe).

Black Knight May 11 Share May 11 9 hours ago, DoctorAtomic said: Kerr's not an idiot; he used the blowout in game 2 to make adjustments to the rotation for a no-Steph series. They're going to make adjustments for game 4. He kind of is an idiot: Even though Kuminga played very well in the last game and is one of the 2 Warriors right now who can actually score, Kerr didn't insert him into this one for a while - he ended up being the 8th Warrior to make it into the game, when really he should have started. He was the best Warrior on the floor in this game, with Butler being a close second but unfortunately running out of gas. But they combined for 63 points, with Kuminga having an excellent TS% to boot. The Warriors loss is on Green making dumb turnovers and that bad stretch late in the game that broke momentum, and then fouling out, and Podz and the rest of the role players being unable to buy a point, especially 3s, without Curry's gravity creating easy shots for them. Also the Warriors' defense has been largely exposed - that vaunted stat of them being the best defense the last couple of months of the regular season didn't take into account that it was mostly an easy schedule against mid teams. But fundamentally this is a poorly-constructed roster that leans on Curry too much in specific and on aging small vets too much in general. Needing all 7 games to get out of the first round was a killer. Curry was tired and maybe that helped cause his injury, and Butler is also extremely tired and probably will have to kind of take off one of the next two games again. It'll be interesting to see which one he chooses: It's better for obvious reasons if the Warriors can get the win at home tomorrow, but if he pours everything into tomorrow and they still lose, then he won't have anything left for the elimination game on Wednesday. But mailing it in tomorrow and thus definitively making Wednesday's away game an elimination game is risky too. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2756-the-nba/page/164/#findComment-8658780
