    don't get me wrong i'll take it! but between beating and injured warriors team or beating one at full strength, i'd prefer the later. history may not remember when the warriors beat injured teams because they were the favorites anyway, we aren't.

    Time for them to prove why they had FOUR (!) all-stars.

    Time for them to deal with adversity just like every other franchise. There shouldn't even be a conversation about KD getting "tired" without Curry when you have FOUR (!) all-stars.

    And just wait until they get a taste of LeBryan Nash! :p

    A team with 4 all stars. Having 3 shouldn’t be adversity at all. Guess it’s time for Quinn Cook, Nick Young, and Omir to rise to the occasion.

    People over-rate the hell out of Klay Thompson. He's completely useless without Steph. KD is like a more efficient Kobe- historically great talent but he doesn't actually make his teammates around him better the way Curry does. Draymond is great and all but you can't depend on him to be a primary ball handler and scorer for a 7 game series. Their depth is straight garbage outside of David West and Jordan Bell.

    KD will need to be superhuman just for them to beat Portland. Against the Rockets, no chance.

    Houston is underrated and can beat GSW when healthy.

    They are 40-2 when healthy.

    That is ridiculous.

    Gs has had insane luck with avoiding injuries over the past few years. Something was bound to happen eventually.

    Somewhat similar to Durants injury last season. Grade 2 MCL sprain & bone bruise. Missed 5 weeks. But he was back by April 8th

    And i mean, if they'll be all back for the playoffs that's not even bad for them, missing players in the playoffs is bad, missing them in the last part of the regular season is not exactly the same as long as they get back for the playoffs.

    Lol don't get offended. You must be a lil dude like curry too. I had that happen to me before on the court, you just got to walk it off sometimes instead of making excuses to rest.

    What's a key BOARD?


    Well, I'm not celebrating their injuries BUT at the same time I'm not the least bit sad for such an incredibly cocky franchise and fan base to be going through adversity.

    This guy needs to understand there is a difference between saying "regular season" and "season".

    Can’t do anything but wait and hope he’s done for the playoffs.
