    The kind where I had typed out "sending Curry negative vibes" in the "sending warriors negative vibes thread", but then quickly deleted, thinking I had done enough as it is. Let me save my mana for the playoffs.

    They will crush the spurs, Utah or the Wolves even without Curry.

    we should never root for or celebrate an opponents injury, but its hard not to think about the advantage it would give the rockets in the playoffs.

    however, that's not how i would prefer to win a championship.

    i want to beat the warriors at full strength so this championship has no excuses like "but jordan was retired" and "curry was injured"

    Not crush. But probably win in 5 hard-fought games against SA/Utah/Minny. Portland 2nd round would be a dog-fight. Then, if they don't have Steph, it's Rockets in 5.

    Here come the excuses when the Rockets win it all.

    The Finals were a 5 game sample size.

    even if GS can win without curry in the lineup, it will tire out KD and livingston for the next rounds

    Would have been soooooo sweet had it been Zaza who caused him to be out for the playoffs.

    Let's just say they got 3 players that can come up big anytime. And the 4th player is no slouch either.

    KD does not need to be the best player, he needs to be a Top 2-5 player, that's all it takes.

    If they dun win it this year, they will give Houston or whomever hell next year.

    GS is still really good without Curry. I think we see them in the Western Conference Finals unless Durant gets hurt. I think Lebron, this year's version of Harden, and Durant are the 3 guys in the NBA that could potentially carry a team all the way even without another superstar.

    A chip is a chip. No need to be high and mighty. I don't think Warriors fans or history will ever remember the injuries to their opponents in 2015 playoffs.

    Lol, can you imagine Zaza in the paint surrounded in a circle by Curry, snake, donkey, and Klay? Then he trips over his own foot and falls in a circular motion taking out the MCLs of all of the big 4.

    And that's why you're sitting behind a keyboard instead of on a professional court everyday. What a dumb post

    I'm really anxious to hear the diagnosis. I tore my MCL once and didn't walk normal for about 6 weeks and didn't play basketball at my best for about 4 months. I also didn't have the best trainers money can buy. I will say the day I did it, I was walking a lot better than Curry was, but the next day, couldn't bend the knee without pain.

    I wonder if CP3 could teach him how to have heart
