[Charania] “I’m told that Stephen Curry is actually going to be sidelined for closer to 1 month with this oblique abdominal tear…Warriors are now bracing that this could be at least a double digit sum of games. He’s now out for at least 2-4 weeks.”
need to just sit steph and jimmy vs Houston, even with Dillon Brooks gone. don’t want amen to hurt jimmy again
Lmao “hey Adam silver? The rockets are trying to beat us up!!!!”
Po-lice presence!
unironically, yes. The warriors somehow always destroy these clowns every time in the playoffs anyway.
“Hey this Draymond Green, Kevin Durant in our locker room and he tryna beat us up. Come help us!”
He got hurt setting up a screen where he just got tangled up. Why are warriors fans so dramatic?
Because they are teenagers
You are not lying. These kids are posting one screenshot where Sengun is tangled with Curry and saying it was purposely done. Gimme a break, it was unfortunate, but not intentional.
Brooks in the playoffs a few years ago was bad though.
Warriors fans want to watch Steph shoot uncontested shots while the rest of the players do ballet around him
curry has had 7 in-game injuries vs the rockets, so naturally it starts to look like he didnt “just get tangled up”
except when you actually look at those injuries a majority aren’t even because of the rockets lol
3 are like from the arena lmao
Lotta fans gotta take the homer glasses off for a second, and maybe take stats 101 to learn that correlation =/= causation
Rockets are right on the edge of hard defense and dirty defense (especially with brooks gone), but I’ll give em the benefit of the doubt since I actually want defense to have more of an impact, offensive players have way too many cards stacked in their hand rn
There’s a video of all 7 times and it’s a big nothing burger…
Send me the said video because its not a nothing burger. Esp the times where Brooks was the main culprit.
post the videos of all the ones that the Rocket players maliciously injured him.
Every game is broadcasted so should be a quick activity for you
So everyone should just sit against Draymond then? Can’t talk shit about anyone else being dirty when that guys on your team
Just euro players who he knows wont fight back
Draymond is a clown but I don’t see people missing games
didn’t he literally stomp on sabonis in a playoff game
Sabonis literally played the next game
sabonis played the next game buddy
sabonis also held onto his ankle (doubt it was on purpose)
it was extremely reckless on draymonds part, but he was essentially tripped by sabonis
How many games did Sabonis miss after that, and what was his injury?
Lol not like it’s for a lack of trying. Like stomping on someone’s chest it’s a miracle they don’t miss games
When has draymond injured someone like actually injured them so they miss games
The rockets tore his oblique?
lol
Not for lack of trying
Remember the elbow on naz reid by wemby?
Theres dirty players all across the league. I don’t defend Draymond, but people act like the warriors are the only team on earth with a dirty player.
Yeah, please sit everyone when you play the Warriors.
You comment as if you didn’t see the Rockets/Warriors in the playoffs where Udoka basically placed a bounty on Steph/Jimmy’s head.
Warriors fans might be the dumbest people alive
Idk, stiff competition with this sub existing
Ime openly told his players to try and hurt Steph and co.
It’s not even private anymore.
Source : I made it up
Source: trust me bro
Did Kerr tell Draymond to kick, stomp and punch players too
In what imagination is this the truth?
We all know Draymond is an ass, but that ain’t Kerr, man. Thanks your Lakers flair talking
it’s mocking how dumb your take is, post the video of rocket players injuring steph.
Dude got hurt trying to get around a screen
This is so overplayed. Amen clearly did not intend on undercutting Jimmy. Y’all are total babies.
No, he plays reckless, that’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a Rockets homer
If I remember correctly he also got pushed in the back which caused him to collide with Jimmy. Amen can’t control when he gets shoved in the back
Do y’all remember who pushed him? It all comes back to Draymond. Wouldn’t be the first time he’s injured a teammate.
Steph and Jimmy worth more than the entire rockets franchise
I know Yax was excited to play with and support Curry… but now Yaxel you are THE guy.
Could be a great audition for him to see if he can carry the load as being the best player on the team. Or if you dont wanna call it best player, number 1 option per se.
Yeah blessing in disguise for his development
same thing happened with jordan poole before our championship run. he got a bunch of reps as result of curry’s injury.
It helped that Poole had Klay, Wiggs, and 31 year old Draymond with him though. Wiggs and Dray were both All Stars that year, and Dray was All Defense.
Is it though? People normally say rookies being given an unlimited green light to put up stats while probably losing is bad for them and teaches bad habits. Is it entirely vibes based and whether we like the player or not?
Can’t wait to see his averages go up and efficiency go down and people praise him while shitting on Acuff.
Well now he’s gonna get all the double teams idk if I would call it a blessing to be thrown into the fire like that. Even Steph benefited from having David Lee and earlier monta
Tragedy aside, this is a ahem Golden opportunity for yaxel. Do well and your stocks go to the moon, do bad and nobody can blame you for missing Curry and Jimmy.
All NBA this year should be hilarious
Then the bad contracts that come with it. Then the complainants about the second apron breaking up teams.
They need to do the smart thing and simply not offer those contracts to the players and dare them to go somewhere else.
First teams probably gonna be Luka/Wemby/Shai/Tatum/Idk in the last slot
Ty Jerome obviously
Maxey if he stays healthy
Jokic if he gets back into form, Flagg’s got a good case, Cade, Giannis, Deni. There’s some good options for that fifth spot
Tyyyyreeese Maxey(maxey(maxey))
🤞
Jokic or Giannis will probably lock in for the last slot
The past 7 years Giannis has played 65 games three times, and two of those times he only played 67 games. At 32 I wouldn’t bet on him even being eligible.
Did you forget that two of those seasons were Covid-shortened? He would’ve made it in 2023 as well, but the Bucks decided to rest him for the last 3 games to prepare for the playoffs. Last season was really the only time he struggled, and there were a lot of external factors that contributed to that obviously
Wow. Honestly, that’s worse than I thought.
kat
Yaxel
Lot of time left…
Yaxel, Wemby, JB, Shai, JT
Jalen Brunson 😈
There’s plenty of worthy guys.
Jamal Murray, you are first team All NBA player
Besides his AST/TO, his numbers do look good. 50% from 3 over 10 games is no joke.
Why do I keep seeing people say this when Chet and Kawhi are currently the only ones from last season’s All-NBA teams who might not be eligible this season? And you look at last season’s All-NBA teams and there’s nothing strange about it. The league is loaded with talent and although Steph started the season hot, a 38 year old missing from the list isn’t that hard to believe in.
I get that being reactionary is pretty much all this sub is good for anymore but the fact that so many people just say this instead of doing their research is sad.
Sengun in there
Yaxel taking Steph’s spot
Wonder how many DNP’s/Ejections Draymond conveniently has over the next month lol
It’s a contract season for Draymond, he’ll be on his best behaviour.
This is probably his last season
Hopefully my boy won’t try and go out with a bang lol
How many dicks will be punched on his farewell tour?
He said he’s playing at least one more no matter what, even if it’s for a different team
Is he really that bad?
You could point to his scoring and just say he’s trash at 3ppg or w/e but I doubt him dropping 5pts from the 8ppg~ he’s been at for almost a decade really matters much overall.
The defense and half-court offense he brings is still clearly impactful, he can’t really guard centers anymore but still locks up wings from time to time. The half-court offense he brings with playmaking/screens is also clear to anyone that watches modern basketball and questions how half the teams in the league have such awful half-court offenses that they basically don’t run any sets and just ISO or pick/roll when they can’t score in transition.
Draymond ain’t worth what he’s being paid right now, but if he wanted to try and stick with Steph until the end, he would certainly still be worth playing the minutes he’s getting on a team friendly salary at or slightly above his vet min.
What’s his half court offense without Steph?
Idk why people are upvoting this. People are probably just looking at his ppg and think he’s basically done when that’s not the case. With his specific skill set I don’t see other teams being interested but you’re tripping if you don’t think the Warriors wouldn’t want him back on the vet minimum at least.
I’ll be honest it kinda seems like him and the warriors got an agreement in place that this season is it
As a Warriors fan, don’t tempt me with a good time. I appreciate all Draymond has done for the team as a whole. But the juice isn’t worth the squeeze any more. His offense is so limited these days, he is out of shape, and his defense doesn’t do enough to offset his offensive abilities these days. I think it’s time to move of him tbh.
Only contract he’s signing for next year is an extension with Audacy for his podcast. He’s free to practice his natural shooting motion every night.
Bro he’s prolly retiring
Both Kerr and Steph signed a 2 year extension, Draymond will be on his best behavior to get the same
The new season of Ow My Balls! about to premiere
GO AWAY: ‘BATIN!!
Welcome to Chase Center, I love you!
I’m four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, brought to you by IREN
Draymond on his next podcast: “How great is that GTA 6!”
but according to a fake warriors flair Draymond is the “engine of the offense”
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1xtuvsl/the_warriors_hot_start_isnt_just_on_steph_and/19shtgldne4xu/
I mean you genuinely aren’t watching the games if you don’t see how much Draymond is controlling the offense with his passing and screens. And I hate draymond as much as anybody lol
Everyone knows that lol. But if you’re the “engine of the offense”, you don’t get subbed out for being an offensive liability in a crucial finals game with your team down 2-1.
defensive engine? sure.
Heart and soul? eh … fine.
Offensive engine? Over steph? Hell nah
btw, his actual take is that Podz is the offensive engine for the warriors now, not dray anymore
He’s a frequently used cog or turbo modifier but Steph is the engine. Donkey truthers conveniently forget about 2019-20 when he was the “engine” and they finished dead last in offensive rating
Donkey truthers are something else
He needs to keep his shit together to get his 10th All-Defense team. Hopefully that is motivating enough otherwise it’s techs and ejections.
Yaxel MVP season inbound
He should for real get all star consideration now, pretty major for a rook
Has a rookie (let’s extend this definition to someone still on their first contract) ever come close to getting All-Star consideration? Aside from top rated picks that live up to their hype like Lebron or Irving, I can’t think of any, and those guys are generational talents.
It’s rare for sure, Blake griffin was the last one I think because his dunks were so popular (he also sat out first year due to injury)
Not just his dunks. He was 12th in scoring and 4th in rebounds. And he added 4 assists on top of that. Dude earned that spot.
Blake Griffin was the #1 pick in the same draft that Steph Curry was in. Not being dismissive about the achievement but it’s hard to ignore that part!
Luka was close too, but was a top rated pick too like you mentioned
Yeah, Luka is a generational talent, and a high pick.
Idk how far down you consider not a top rated pick but jdub was most recently all nba all defense while still on his rookie scale contract
Ben Simmons had the third most votes in the East for a backcourt spot and easily could have been in; averaged 16/8/8 and went 51-30 in games he played in. Most impactful player for the Sixers that year by advanced metrics as well, and Embiid got an All-Star selection and All NBA 2nd team selection that year.
Ben Simmons was drafted #1 overall…..
I’d laugh and cry at the same time
Honestly? If he gives us 22/7/4 with 2.5 stocks over 75 healthy games on a playoff-bound Warriors team I’m not against him being on one of the ALL NBA teams.
The list of people of with those counting stats and efficiency is literally jokic and that’s it. If you were to blind fold someone and tell them who a 22/7/4/2 sticks player is, people would be guessing players like Kawhi/PG etc
His counting stats might benefit but presumably his efficiency is about to take a nosedive without Curry’s gravity and defensive attention.
It’s also very hard to maintain that for an additional 70 games.
Watch the games. He’s not actually playing off curry’s gravity and a lot of times they’re not on court together. He creates his own offense but can also catch and shoot and post up.
Agreed but based on what happened last night it looks pretty promising
more likely to give a speech about how they shouldn’t have lost 10 games in a row
damn the steph yaxel development was fun to watch
Yaxel’s gonna get a whole lot of showcase lol
Purple light+
Yeah ROTY locked up now
When warriors start losing games yall better keep the same energy towards Yaxel that yall have been giving Acuff 😭
Obviously it’d be better if Steph was still there but if they can use this time to figure out how to deal with teams selling out and double teaming yax then when he comes back you’ll have two deadly mfs to deal with and you can’t double team em both
That’s really unfortunate. Was looking forward to see how long Curry could keep up this unprecedented tear. Dude looked like he was hitting his 2nd prime.
he’s on a tear alright
Anyone else think its a little suss all these players are getting injured the same time we get a new GTA for the first time in 13 years?
Right? Us regulars call in sick for a day, 2 tops. This guy is now getting a month off for a “tear”.
Carpal tunnel is band for handling the ball. Might need a week to rest.
I think the shortest time for recovery from this injury from past players was 25 days, could be wrong
Yeah usually players take 1 month off?
Wouldn’t be surprised if Curry took 4 weeks off.
Steven Adams called it before the season
Steph is the last guy I would think that would care about GTA
You’d be surprised
Steph has been injured almost every season the last several seasons
Same with guys like Kawhi
I don’t see anything we, we’ve had huge injuries issues with the league for awhile now
lmfao
I mean initial reports were saying re evaluated in 2 weeks so this isn’t anything new
4 is a different and greater number than 2.
One month going to turned into 2 months then post ASB
Man, this fkn season…
It was nice to believe we were going to be competitive this year, if only for a few weeks. See y’all at the playin.
welcome to the club :(
Damn this sucks for everyone and the league itself
Lame.
When is Jimmy back?
Late January/early February
warriors about to get another top ten pick
Not shocked that 38 year old Curry will miss time, but damn am I disappointed.
Curry playing at MVP level and the team performing so well makes it even worst.
Should have been fairly obvious when the reevaluation was going to take 2 weeks, an oblique tear isn’t something you rush back from
What’s the over/under on how many crashouts Draymond will have this month?
1 ejection, 2 crashouts.
3 techs, 1 ejection, at least 1 kick in the balls. Crash out every game
Wil get a injury soon. Day to day
Dray or Dray is right there
His ass ain’t playing without Steph
Bummer.
He’s out for two months. Be real.
Goddamn
