    An MCL injury could keep him out for a few games or the entire playoffs. Tomorrow's MRI will tell the tale.

    Warriors could be vulnerable if they get a difficult matchup in the 1st round. Curry is the heart of that team.

    I think they might shut hit own for the entire 1st round

    The problem is their first round opponent could be any number of teams. There's no guarantee they advance without Curry.

    I think they can still advance to the second round regardless, they still have KD Klay and green

    Sure they can, but if the opponent is OKC or the T-Wolves with Jimmy Butler, it could be dicey. On the other hand, they would easily roll the Pels, Spurs or Jazz without Curry.

    They should be able to but all those guys are going to be coming back from injury also.

    There also only 4.4 point differential when those 3 play without Steph. Still good but not quite the juggernaut were used to seeing in the bay.

    They would have problems with Utah in the first round.

    What would be great is if they got okc in the first round without curry. That would be a dog fight.

    The Warriors have had amazing luck with injuries the past few seasons. Their playoff opponents have not. This is definitely a role reversal for them going into the postseason.

    Him and green are by far the most important players! Kd is not close to being the best player in the league.

    Despite the rockets’ and warriors’ dominance this year, I still feel the West is mostly strong from top to bottom. If either team loses a major piece there isn’t nearly as much separating them from the bottom 6.

    I’d like to see them draw the pels who have come on as of late with a dominant AD and very solid Jrue.

    come on now.. let's not go crazy. Curry may be the most valuable player on the GSW team, but KD is the best. KD is a top 3 player.

    His body isn't built for the nba. I could have walked that off but not curry.

    I think Curry and Harden are both more impactful than KD. KD is #4.
