    Man, that was a crazy last minute. Now if only Draymond didn't let the ball go out of bounds!!!!! I wanted to at least see a last shot!!!
    Had a feeling that they might lose in Houston, but if they play that bad without Curry and still keep it close, then I'm not that worried.

    Hope Curry's injury isn't serious. Golden State is a very deep team but not sure they can win it all without him. Even if he is ready to go the next game, I would keep him on the bench. GS could flip the playing time between their starters and bench and still beat the Rockets.

    Warriors just made NBA Playoff history for made 3 pointers with Curry missing the entire 2nd half. And Curry only had 1 before exiting the game. Insane

    What's with Harden laying on the floor? What if someone lands on him or he injures someone else? STRENGTH IN NUMBERS!!!! That's why the Warriors are the best team in the NBA!!!!

    All I could think about that entire 2nd half is what a joke Harden is. The long pass/layup after a rebound was a prime example of how lazy he is. I enjoyed his breakout season but he just doesn't put in the effort on a regular basis.

    Howard is just as bad or worse. Unless it's a dunk contest, Howard doesn't rebound well, nor defend the paint unless they go right at him.
    And that interception by Draymond off that Harden pass SHOULD be how playoff contenders should play.

    So if you didn't know it, I did the same fall at my aunt's house at the beginning of the year and am still rehabbing my MCL. I can only do body weight squats and like 90-100lbs on the leg press (not pushing it) to full 90 degrees, but it's a slow process.
    But my sprain was 3rd degree and it almost detached from the femur. Steph's is a first degree, he's half my age, an elite athlete, and with some of the best at rehab and PT. I figure he'll be out at most 3 weeks.
    Even so, I don't see an issue with the Rockets tomorrow, and now with the Clippers with no Paul (broken hand) or the Trailblazers inept defense, I believe the DUBS will get past and into the conference finals.
    Good luck with the Spurs. I'd like to see an OKC/Warriors Title series.

    Total spanking of the gutless Rockets. With the exception of Harden, the Rockets play like schlubs. What a dumb prediction by Jason Terry guaranteeing a win in game 5. And he obviously was a detriment going 0-8 while on the floor.
    It sucks that players get injured, but when it happens, the true mark of a champion is the TEAM making adjustments and stepping up their game. With Paul and Griffin injured, you may not get that from the Clippers, but because I'm looking for an advantage to have the Warriors rest and Curry to return 100%, I want them to beat Portland because I know that they can't beat the Warriors even without Curry.

    I followed the Warriors game online last night and decided to go to bed at half time. That game was not worth me staying up until 1am for. If Curry was healthy I wouldn't care who was next, but I am with you on this one @ninerbuff

    I believe they can beat both teams handily, but I want it over in a 4 game series and Portland could stretch that out more than LA could. Warriors are starting to peak though, so excited for the next round.

    Total thrashing of the Trailblazers and Klay and Draymond along with Livingston have been lighting it up as of late. Team is playing great defense and minimizing turnovers! No mind with Curry on the bench if they keep playing like this.

    OKC pulls it out tonight! There was a foul on the last play, but the Spurs got the ball and couldn't score, so I think OKC deserved the victory!

    Damn. I was a bit concerned by the lead at the beginning of the 4th by Portland, BUT NEVER count out the champs!!!!!!!! A 34-12 run in the 4th to doom the Trailblazers to another loss at Roaracle Arena! Klay, Dray and Izeali were the killers in this quarter and the defense forced Lillard and McCollum into bad shots to seal the win!
    So will Curry be back on Saturday? Hmmmm, with a 2 game lead, I say they rest him another game.

    Damn. The Trailblazers were ON tonight. The DUBS could do nothing to counter their 3 point shots and played some bad defense along with turning the ball over a lot. Oh well. Let's see what happens Monday.
