Dubs without Curry
Clipps
Rockets still can make it, can't they?
First let me say, that I don't wish an injury to any player. Even though injuries are part of the buisness and we had our runs cut short by some of them, I hope Wardell will be ok.
Second, I'm aware of us still having to beat OKC. That won't be easy and even as I'm having us as favs, it's not unlikely they will end our run.
But still, right now I'm asking myself, if we rather play a Curryless Dubs team (he might not be out this long, but just assume that to be the case) or a healthy Clipps squad in the WCF?
Stupid post and poll
Clippers. The Spurs usually win their revenge matchups.
dubs without curry would be the easier matchup, but there's always appeal in revenge matchups. loved beating OKC in the '14 WCF then Miami for the chip, but we could have had easier paths with the clippers and pacers
Clippers also have injuries to Blake and Red according to that storm guy. So Clippers, I guess.
GS without Curry, or a healthy Clippers?
Toss a coin.
I think a Curry-less team would be better as their game would be majorly damaged without his talent.
In that case though, they would probably not reach the WCF, as the Clippers will probably not get blown out by 25 by a Curry-less team like the Rockets did.
So if Curry keeps having injury problems, get ready for a massive portion of whines, flops, and mid range action.
Spursfans are so adorable. Praying for injury on games MVP.
Eliancito will be fine and will tear our labia into 3 pieces come WCFs
I want Golden State full strength. Spurs can and will beat them.
Jinx thread of the year. If the Spurs lose int he 2nd round you'll be shamed forever on this board.
What I want to know is when did Amused start doing game threads for Warriors fans? Judging by Curry's first round it has to be him.![]()
Either way, the purists and the Phil Jacksons of the world will name this Spurs' championship run an asterisk *.
I say 'em. "Luck" is always a factor in any championship just as last year Worriers playoffs run.
As long as Spurs win, I do not see any difference.
MAny championship this year is legit. That's if the Cavs are healthy.. Something they were not last year
It's funny that NOBODY brings up the "*" for the Lakers 2000 Championship. Spurs (defending champs) didn't have Duncan who tore his knee and missed entire playoffs..
You killin me with the different variations![]()
Beating the okc, clippers, Cleveland is tough enough. That's a normal finals run difficulty level
I think he'll be fine too.
Unlike all the PG that Golden State faced last year in the playoffs. What goes around comes around.
Beating the Dubs without Curry would be incredibly unsatisfying.
It certainly is. That's what I'm saying.
Or the 89 Pistons who were greatly aided in the Finals against the Lakers by the ham string tear and resultant absence of Magic Johnson (league MVP'). The Lakers swept everybody in the Western playoffs only to be themselves swept in the Finals after Magic's injury. No asterisks there. Curry's always been made of glass. It's a physical weakness. Like not being tall enough or quick enough. All that said, I DO want the Warriors at full strength just so there are no detractors when the Spurs beat them.
Order of preference :
1. Spurs champs with every opponent at full strength
2. Spurs champs with opponents being injured
3. Anything else
Anyway, was the slip that bad? I thought that it was more of a deep bruise given that the Dubs sent him out to test it at halftime. I read on Twitter that the Physician who looked after Curry at halfttime, talked about a possible mild MCL sprain.
In the end, who cares tbh? I don't give a if we are playing the Zimbabwe Black Rhinos as long as the Spurs ring.
I would love to take out OKC first.
