Result? I think GS needs curry more than the Spurs need parker. Lee played well for the 3 minutes he was out there, but there is a reason he played only 3 minutes. He can't play. Bogut is a great defensive force, but you simply can't depend on him to bear the scoring burden.
I see JJ and Thompson taking the scoring load, and I don't think it works for them. Leonard on Thompson works great, and if Parker can't go, Corey did fine on JJ.
Sure, JJ can penetrate and score, but he is not the distributor that Curry is.
Parker certainly scores most of the points for us, so that is a big, big blow. But Manu can dish out plenty of assists, and as Splitter gets back into things, he, Leonard, Green, and hopefully Manu can pick up the scoring.
In any event, winning game 4 is a luxury. Game 5 is the key game. I can't imagine Parker missing games 4 and 5 with a calf bruise, especially considering he would get essentially Sat, Sun, and Monday off to prepare for Tuesday.
If we win game 5, regardless of game 4, I think we win the series. I don't see GS winning two elimination games.
