[Lauren Jbara] Steph Curry Ruled out for Games 2, 3 & 4 for sure
Its time for Jimmy to carry another G-League team.
Minny’s worst nightmare: Jimmy and 3rd-stringers
It would be so damn poetic
Dude now I want to see Jimmy win this one just to see the fanbase implosion
Chill out bro we would literally never recover until he died
TIL never to cross anyone from Minnesota
I just meant we’d have to wait 😭 but some people would definitely be out for blood
Hugs, your team and fan base are just too hard to hate. If you kick us out, we’re rooting for you all the way.
Maybe that appeases that small percentage of your fan base.
He would put some line in his will to keep clowning Minnesota from beyond the grave.
Draymond abt to work his damn hardest to get himself ejected
He is not beating that allegation as he elbowed Naz in the first half.
Refs gave Green a technical for the same elbow to the face move that got Joker a flagrant 1
Even when he’s trying to get ejected and suspended, the league babies this guy
[deleted]
Buddy Hield as Caleb Martin.
Gabe is Podz
Nephews forgetting how Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin turned into Steph and KD for a couple of games
Can’t imagine Kuminga, Podz and Buddy doing that
damn this is sad
Injuries freaking suck. Robs everyone of a good competition.
Now if MIN lose, it’s embarrassing, but if they win, there’s an asterisk and people (dubs fans) will always wonder what if..
Nah. If they win, it is what it is.
Dubs first championship with Curry had plenty of injuries along the way. It’s just a part of the game/playoffs, sadly. I’m not gonna credit or discredit a team due to injuries.
With that said, series isn’t over yet. So here’s to hoping for a good 7 game series lol.
First Warriors fan I’ve ever seen admit that
it’s easy to admit after 2016 ;)
What happened that year? For some reason, I don’t remember anything from June 13th to 19th, 2016.
It’s also a just second round series, and it’s not like the GSW were really in the mix as far as the contending teams. If Minnesota somehow wins the Finals, they’d have had to also beat Denver/OKC and whoever ends up out of the East.
Only the most over-dramatic idiot fans would put an asterisk on it.
If they win they would have had to go through much harder teams than the warriors.
Secondly, only dumbass kids pull this asterisk shit.
That’s exactly how it works. If you lose and are injured both teams are bums and get clowned. Cavs fan here and injuries aren’t gonna save us from public mockery.
Idk man, people are still dismissing the Pacers ecf run last year because of injuries
That’s what I’m saying. If you beat an injured cavs team will both get mocked. We will be 2nd round exit philly bums and u will be mid injury merchants.
Not really about the wolves lol, it’s about the warriors fans that won’t shut up because of the moral victory.
And there are dumbass kids everywhere
You wanna call the police or keep crying?
LMAO where did that come from?
Idk but it’s funny lol
Injuries are part of the game, doubly so when its an older player that’s more likely to get injured.
The only time I’m willing to listen to the asterisk argument is 2020 because “global pandemic shuts the world down” isn’t a normal occurence.
I’ve never understood the argument that minimizes the 2020 ring. Yes injuries are a part of it, but everyone had the same advantage of some extra rest before the playoffs.
Why is it that injuries are “part of the game”, but there’s no asterisk when injuries allow for a cakewalk to the finals like 2024 Celtics while the 2020 Lakers are so easily dismissed by casuals.
The asterisk is because its different, and its not on the lakers. So you write it as “2020 Finals*: Lakers” or something. Its like having an asterisk on a teams record during the lockout season. (in my opinion)
If anything, the bubble made the competition harder for the Lakers since they essentially lost their home court advantage throughout the playoffs. And they were the #1 seed for most of the regular season anyway, so I don’t see how playing a couple fewer games leads to an asterisk
fans wonder what could’ve changed if someone hadn’t gotten hurt in a playoff series with the warriors,…. feels like I’ve this before but a little different lol
Multiple times (kyrie and CP3) and the talk is about their dynasty and everyone else being below them. This sub is goldfish-brained acting like there will be an asterisk
The only asterisk rings are specifically KD’s rings (not the other warrior’s players) imo. He’s still really fucking good though.
Wolves were always favorites. Though the Warriors won a fluke game, I don’t really think it casts much doubt on the outcome.
Also, even if they get through, OKC is easily the best team left in the west and Warriors didn’t have a real shot at winning it all, so it doesn’t really matter.
Asterisks only really come up in the finals anyways
While you may be right if dubs can steal a game at home without steph he could rest till game 6 , nuggets have stolen home court lets not jump the gun quite yet both teams still got 3 home games versus 2 and its 1 -1
Golden State Warriors*
!*New Miami Heat!<
It is. Reading between the lines, that man will be back g6 the earliest and it he’d probably still be kinda hurt.
The warriors have had such extreme highs and lows this year.
It’ll be game six he’s hoping for, I think we got to steal another game.
It’s basically:
3-1 Minnesota: he pushes to play game 5, maybe not 100%
2-2 GS: might still play in Game 5 if healing is perfect, but likely returns game 6
3-1 or better GS: we’ll see him in the WCF
If there is a game 6, he’s gonna play.
Yeah, this is pretty much what I think as well.
I kinda hope gsw would steal this game just to see the reactions lmao
I mean I hope we win the next 3 and give Steph a nice long rest, but it’s very unlikely it’s going to be crazy tough without Steph.
Butler needs to go nuclear and Buddy has to be Batman at least in one more game I think.
Wolves is unlikely to get swept imo unless some fuckery happened
I’m hoping for the arrival of Dubious Handles
You’d be lucky to win 1 out of 3.
It’s looking like that right now, that’s for sure.
We’d be thrilled to win 2 of 3.
This shit is done brother, Steph not gonna come back and play 30+ mins off a hamstring injury
Wolves in 5
Didn’t we already know this? Yesterday they said he was being re-evaluated in a week, which would be the day of Game 5. Ergo, he’s guaranteed to miss Games 2-4.
I did not know this as a casual fan.
Too bad.
Hes probably done for the playoffs imo unless he wants to risk a serious injury. Injuries suck and hamstrings are nth to fuck with it.
It’s a grade 1, he definitely will play again if the Warriors miraculously win this series.
With how the east is looking, this is his best and probably last chance to win a 5th ring, to bad nobody left out west is realistically beating the Thunder.
Im not trying to be a downer but it doesnt matter what grade he has im not risking losing Steph potentially for the upcoming season+.
Butler just arrived….next year he and Steph will actually have time to gel together and be more dangerous that might be their actual final run.
Steph’s game relies on movement unlike any other superstar, even if he feels ready i would shut him down, im not risking anything if im gsw.
The chefs kitchen is closed
Even pulling off what they have so far, with this current roster is crazy impressive. Warriors were dead in the water at one point in the season.
This post season run and seeing what Steph is still doing at 37, might be enough for me to finally say he’s better than Kobe.
I’d bet my entire life savings this is the last time curry sees a second round of the playoffs ever again. Its not like he’s 21 years old playing on okc. Why would he risk it
Careful there, Paul.
We probably won’t see LeBron in the second round again either.
Well he could leave the Lakers, so maybe he has a shot.
Pretty certain he will risk injury at this point of his career. He’ll sit out 3 games, if it’s 3:1 he’ll go all in.
Zero reasons to not risk. The last run for title and his body won’t be more fucked than it already is after so many years of career. Just one last gamble.
Damn she fine
Silver linings
My guy Jimmy gonna carry again.
Well this time though his Bam is Draymond, and the firepower he’s gotta wait on is the motherfucking Chef. Not Tyler Herro.
I mean, Draymond is better overall than Bam. However, Bam might be better in this situation because he can add more actual offense, especially creating than Draymond can. Getting the offensive sets going is going to look so painful whenever Jimmy isn’t in.
Lmao Jimmy can’t carry shit anymore he should’ve stayed with Bam and Herro
He carried them to Big L tonight 😂😭
Jimmy’s down.
Other guys on Warriors gotta step up now for sure
Felony assault draymond reporting for duty
Father Time is knocking at the door 🚪…….
Every injury he’s had recently has got to have him thinking “how much longer can I honestly keep playing?”
Let’s say the warriors take this series to 6. Curry will return hobbled and at risk of re injuring his leg again and the wolves will most likely hunt him on most possessions.
He will have had 11 days to recover if he returns in Game 6
…that’s not very long
That’s the typical recovery timeline for a Grade 1 hamstring sprain
The NBA has a habit of rushing back guys from hamstring strains so we’ve come to see 10 days as typical. In reality it should be upwards of 2 weeks plus.
“typical recovery” injuries take longer to heal the older you get
…that’s the typical recovery timeline for the average Joe
…I know, Joe.
Wow! How’d you know my name?
…you literally just said it
Did I?
joe mama
You a doctor?
It’s called Google
Google hand out MDs and PhDs?
Google contains information that was put down by PhDs. You should look into it
Your doctor attend google before diagnosing you?
No but he published a paper about his knowledge that’s available on Google. As did many doctors. That’s why we know what the recovery timeline for a hamstring strain is
Bet the wolves are gonna fuck around and let Steph come back this series.
In other news Draymond Green out for game 2, 3 & 4.
hes out for the rest of the playoffs
Nah, if recovery goes well and they’re down 3-1, he’ll give it a try in game 5, if it’s 2-2, he can stay out till 6.
Really dumb take
Yeh we’ve never seen a team at team a players injury in playoffs before right? Riiiight?
Honestly I think so as well. He will burn the rest of his career trying to come back from a hamstring in just one week loll
Unless they somehow pull the upset without him… but yeah, I don’t see him coming back until game 3⁄4 of the next series… anything before that will probably cause him to make it much worse
Spencer, you’re up.
Crazy. So unlucky for him and the team. Felt like they had a solid chance vs the Wolves but without Steph, the Wolves might ring off 4 straight.
OKC/ T-Wolves WCF loading
Nah okc are paper tigers
Boring. Was gonna be a good series.
Now it’s a second TV on mute kinda series.
This kills the Warriors. God that’s a shame.
Time for robin to become nightwing
What a blow
Oh fuck
The Golden State Warriors are doomed. Without Steph Curry they have NO CHANCE of winning this series against The Minnesota Timberwolves. 🙁🙁
I’m rooting for Warriors to win because I love Jimmy and Buddy’s banter every postgame interview. Hahaha
That’s fine if warriors can win one of those games at home. It’s not impossible but it’ll be tough.
I hope we can survive until he returns. Certanity of death. Small chance of success.
That means that he’s out for game 5 as well
Curry tryna do his own 3-1 comeback
Yeah… we might be cooked
Incoming elbows and groin kicks coming from Donkey in 3…. 2… 1…
3-1 if Wolves are lucky
3-1 and Draymond doesn’t meet the technical foul/flagrant criteria forcing him to miss a game if Warriors are lucky
Warriors will be lucky to be 2-2 by game 5
As a life long wolves fan I hate that he’s not out there… Basketball gods cruelty at its absolute worst.. want the wolves to beat the warriors straight up and now if they win it’ll only be because they should’ve easily and Ant won’t have a chance at the 4th official infinity stone.. I’d rather the wolves lose in an honest 7 game tough fought series then see a Steph absent warrior squad lose sad. like it couldn’t have happened to a more undeserving person that has a shot at one of the most impressive Legacies the NBA has ever seen.. this sucks…
Injuries suck, I’m neutral but it’s gonna be a tough series for the Warriors.
Oof. We cooked
Even if they know already, surprised they’re announcing it publicly so early
Draymond 3 flagrant incoming.
Brutal. I just hope they can hang on until he comes back. Really good guy and a next level talent. Get well quick!
all these jokes then we find ourselves down 1-3 lmao. on the other hand we being 2-2 will be an.achievement or that means playoff jimmy takes over.
5 nba players vs donkey for the rest of the series
The Warriors need to ‘steal’ a game at home to give Steph a chance to come back in time to help give them potentially win this series.
Otherwise its pretty much a wrap…
The season is far too long and terrible for these dudes bodies when it goes for that long and even longer into the postseason. Super stars get hurt every year during the postseason and it takes away from the experience for the fans.
Welp. Without a corresponding injury to one of the top dudes on the other side, it’s safe to say this series is a wrap. We saw how the Warriors play without Steph on the court the last time he had an extended injury.
Warriors still got this. The OKC slaughter is going to be bad though
Ain’t no way. Have you seen this roster?
Delusional lol
Unless someone on the wolves gets hurt
This is why we got Jimmy. We’ll see you in game 6, Steph.
Good riddance
That’s absolutely brutal. We could’ve had a Bron vs Steph matchup and now might not even see either in the second round.
Did you fall into a coma or something? We’ve been in the second round.
Hes saying the 13 mins Steph played doesnt really count
The famous 6⁄7 first round matchup
