Curry isn't injured. He is just getting dominated.

Jaak Varblane · 05-25-16, 04:47 PM

We get it, we get it. OKC is awesome

(and yes I am a little bit bitter)

louielouie · 05-25-16, 04:53 PM

Lebron and kyrie going to outplay kd and russ too will beawesome

KRIT · 05-25-16, 05:03 PM

I've been waiting for this. Curry is a frail little PG, just beat him up in a 7-game series and he'll wear down.

Looking like last year was a fluke after all.

BigDofBA · 05-25-16, 05:51 PM

Curry is a great player and very deserving of the MVP this year.

Golden State is a really good team.

With all that said, the story should be more about what OKC is accomplishing. OKC is winning the game. It's not a case of the Warriors handing it to them or being injured.

survive · 05-25-16, 05:54 PM

Pretty much every article I've read has given all the credit to OKC...

iloseagain · 05-25-16, 06:01 PM

i agree with everything but i do think curry is hurt. not bad, but enough to take away a bit of the quickness that he typically uses to get off shots. he does not have the same quick stepback that has gotten him so many open looks. i saw him last night trying to shake someone (cant remember the defender) and he didnt look like the same player..

hes not hurt man. maybe emotionally. no one is willing to straight up give OKC's defense props.

plenty of people are willing to give OKC defense credit, including myself. I have said a million times that OKC is straight up outplaying them in every aspect of the game (which includes defense), but he certainly does not look like the same player as he did pre-injury. Its not a HUGE difference. Its like 95%, but that 5% matters

BigDofBA · 05-25-16, 06:58 PM

Most teams have to deal with some type of injuries at this point in the year.

Would you rather have your star be 95% or be completely missing players like Kyrie and Kevin Love like the Cavs last year.

OKC was missing Durant last year, Ibaka the year before and Westbrook the year before that.

It's not like Curry is injured like those guys were.

this is not what im talking about.. you took what i said and turned it into "would you rather be missing your star player or have him at 95%?"

Im not even going to answer your comment because its just off topic completely

Dude, it's a message board. Conversations go down different paths.

If you're not going to respond, fine, don't respond but don't waste the time posting that you're not going to respond. Lol

What's up with all of these excuses now?

When Curry came back and dropped 40 on Portland, no one complained he was injured.

He is just flat out getting dominated by Westbrook. Curry is gassed from guarding Westbrook and it's hurting his offense as a result.

Curry doesn't look hurt. Kerr says he isn't hurt. Curry says he isn't hurt.

Quit with those excuses.

Is Green hurt? Is Thompson hurt? Is Iguodola hurt?

OKC is just outplaying them so far. I'm sick of hearing these excuses when the Warriors had an easy road last year facing a bunch of depleted teams.

Media has invested time and energy in this man...convincing the public that his success is in fact not a result of moving screens and a lack of hand checking and physical defense...He is the anti-Lebron...the glass is half full....Lebron, KD and Westbrook would not be afforded such excuses...but Curry is the new face of the league...he appeals to all of the fans who despise Lebron...so excuses will be plentiful....

The casual fan is too stupid to realize that the refs have simply chosen to ignore all the physical defense going on with the switches...which now results in Klay and Curry no longer being as open as they used to be....Draymond has been neutralized by the refs...tripped by Westbrook and they completely ignore it....The lord giveth and the lord taketh...LOL...so now the excuses come out to save face...as the MEDIA is fully complicit in this Golden State Farce....and must now come up with "REASONS" why Curry is not dominating...

well we were talking about how curry looks and you turn it into "every team has injuries." Okay i know every team has injuries but thats not what we were talking about. We were talking about curry.. Then you tried to justify Curry being at 95% with "everyone has players at 95%" or whatever.. I just dont understand how it went from one thing to that

iloseagain · 05-25-16, 08:17 PM

not a big deal, i just like when the convo stays on topic

No problem. I actually like Curry as a player. I think people understand what I'm trying to say.

DOM-Ganador · 05-25-16, 10:24 PM

Everyone on TV or radio I listen to and respect has been giving the Thunder all the credit they deserve.

I am happy for them and want them to continue on this path.

BigD, you of all people here should sit back and enjoy this sick run with a sly smile on your face.
Maybe even chirp a little at guys like louiseLouise if OKC takes it to the Cavs.

Hope you are cashing some tickets as well.

I guess I was mainly referring to some of the comments on this board and some of the comments by commentators, specifically Reggie Miller.

Curry missed a shot when he drove in on Ibaka and Miller basically said he had to be hurt or he would have made it.

I didn't want Green suspended bc I didn't want any excuses as to why OKC won. I want them to play the best.

iloseagain · 05-25-16, 10:39 PM

theres nothing i want to see more than the cavs to lose in the finals because of louiselouise lol

Same. Although I think it's a bad matchup for OKC

penetrate Le Bum and Chicken Curry, OKC for the win !

lebron will do what he always does in the finals and kyrie has 0 chance of locking up westbrook.. westbrook will dominate that series.

i know lebron has owned KD in his career but OKC is a different team now than they were the last time

BigDofBA · 05-25-16, 10:57 PM

Cavs are a bad matchup for OKC. Hopefully OKC can win one more against State and see if they've really turned the corner.

Ratzz · 05-25-16, 11:15 PM

i do think matchup favors Cavs... would be tough for OKC

but will be tough for Cavs also.. i just think edge to Cleveland

italianbandit · 05-25-16, 11:21 PM

From a neutral observer, no offense Big D OKC and Ratzz the Cavalier, this appears to now be OKC's year--- ain't nobody stoppin dem.

That's why they play the games, then we can bragg. Buuuttt, I won't brag that much in this case since your limbic system is a bit affected.

That's the point. Curry should defend Andre Roberson not Westbrook.

Hard to look at all this objectively as a Warriors fan but this is the truth. OKC's been goin bananas and the talk seems to be more about the Spurs and Warriors shittin the bed than how well OKC has been playing.

Watchin these games though man I just keep thinking can Westbrook really play this hard every game without burning out/getting injured?? I mean I know he's an animal but goddamn...

Yeah man, good attitude.
Weiner Greeny was chirping a little about Steph being injured. Now I kinda see you original point.
IF, OKC does hoist the "LARRY" , they must go down as an all-time type team taking down 67,73 and
LBJ. Compared to who GSW had to beat, shit is epic.

Does not surprise me in the least that he can do what he is doing. Tons of rest between games, hasn`t had a btb in forever.
The efficiency is certainly unexpected, but playoff basketball should always be played at this effort.
