Warriors are probably already out of playoffs. The only reason why Curry comes back is the simple fact that he is not healed and probably wants to play to get in better shape. You can train as hard as you can but as long as you do not start playing in the games actually you will not be 100% ready. His first games may not be that great, hell his first week may not be great but he probably wanted to just get back and play for a month to get back in shape and go to summer that way.

If he missed the last part of the season that would mean he would have a game only next year and that is really not good enough for him since it would hurt his conditioning. He could also sell a lot more tickets as well, with him back even though the team will miss the playoffs, he would be something to go watch the games for.

Stephen Curry injury update: Warriors star will make his return Thursday against the Raptors

What do you guys think? will it gives the warriors a chance to be in the playoffs, or its already late?
Curry would certainly give more excitement to us and hopefully as he comes back, we can still see him playing his old self.

I think that it is already late.
And apart from that, who guarantees that Curry is going to be on the same form as the one previous to his injury? I think that he is going to need some time in order to recover fully.

I think they wouldn't allow Curry to play if he is not fully recover, so I believed that he is fine by now.

Yes, it could be too late, however, the remaining games that he can play will be a good gauge as to how the recovery had been. If he still feels pain during the game, then he can be rested, otherwise we will see if Curry has still has it, after a long lay-off.

Curry will play but it will not make the Warriors to qualify for this playoffs, that's a big burden for Curry if they will aim for that, and if let's say he will succeed, how would they perform in the playoffs without Thompson, so I would say it is not likely to happen, curry alone can't bring success to the team as it's easy to shut him down.

No way, for sure they now know the truth and concede defeat. Well, that's okay, my respect is unto them because they already prove us that they are a championship caliber type of team. It just so happened that the Splash Brothers both got injured Grin. The least they can do for now is to train harder, make up with the mistakes they've done and make adjustments on team plays even without their superstars.

Anyway, that's good news that Curry will finally come back. However, he should be more careful because we all knew how vital he is in GSW. Besides, it's too late now so better for him to just chill and don't push himself playing too much Smiley. I will look forward to them next conference.

Situation has changed a bit in that race for that 8th spot in the Western Conference since i wrote that small overview of the candidates. Grizzlies had their 3rd win a row last night, Blazers are on the 2 wins in a ow, and 2 games behind Grizzlies, while i jinxed Pelicans, they had 3rd loss in a row last night, against Mavericks in the OT and situation doesn't look great at the moment as they are 5 games behind Grizzlies now. It won't be an easy thing to do, to reach them with only 21 game left.
Grizzlies will have some tough games at the end of regular season, maybe that could be their chance to catch them..

Warriors are currently 17 games behind Grizzlies who are at at the 8th spot, while they only have 20 games left, so no way in hell they can catch that. Even Warriors from 2015/2016 would have issues with that, and on top of that, Grizzlies and other teams like Blazers, Spurs and Pelicans would have to loose huge majority of games.
I guess Curry will play just casually until end of the season, he won't force himself and risk another injury

I still cannot stop thinking how the hell GSW can win against a strong Nuggets without their stars around.
It is not just a win, but a 16 point lead.
That's what we called a big upset, they usually do that, Warriors if their offense has a good flow, they scored pretty well and win big time against a big time team like Nuggets, they've done that this season many times I guess.

That was awesome. Somehow it hurt the Nuggets team which I think is aiming for the 2nd spot of the Western Conference ranking to avoid a stronger opponent on round 1 of the playoffs.
20+ games left and I think there will still be a lot changes that will happen in West.
That's for sure, Nuggets would stay in the playoff spot but we cannot be sure what spot it will hold by the end of the regular season, but one thing I could guarantee, whatever teams the Nuggets will face, it will be war as this team does not easily give up, they are up to a mission this playoffs.

It is not just a win, but a 16 point lead.

And I wonder what the odds for GSW Moneyline here. Whoever takes that risk is surely enjoying their profits now.

Anyways, that Warriors win improves Andrew Wiggins's record to 2 wins- 21 loses in his last 23 games lol.



... it has been a long time since I watched a team that actually entertained me so much as Lakers.

And you will be more entertained in the next 2 games of Lakers before the week ends;

..against Bucks on Sunday (1-0 against the Lakers this season)
..against Clippers on Sunday (2-0 against the Lakers this season)

I hope to see all teams are healthy on that day and expecting a wild close game.

Now they have to face Clippers, another good game to watch.
They will do better at home but Clippers now are playing the best basketball and in terms of size, I guess Clippers will kill them.

Who would stop Leonard and PG here? they both are taller and athletic, and anyone of them could explode anytime, so I'll go for the Clippers even they are on the road. Hopefully this will be a high scoring game as fans would love it, it's more fun when the game turns out a high scoring affair.
They added Morris, they are a better team now and they are healthy so I guess they will soon replace Lakers in the number 1 spot although Lakers are also doing well. These good teams in the West like Lakers, Clippers and Rockets, even Nuggets, they are not exempted on losing against a bad team, just today, we witness how the Nuggets loss to the Warriors knowing Warriors got the worst record in the NBA now.

I think this is all about consistency and we've seen that on the big teams I've mentioned above but they are not perfect.
Regular season always have that kind of results, though it will be different once we are on the playoffs as all the teams will try pushing things harder in order to make sure to have the good spot.
PG, Williams and Leonard are all scorers and a good leaders they are not the types of players who always wanted to have the but instead they are
good in recognizing their teammates and letting them to play the game.

Lakers have been on the form once again, every team looks great right now and I can honestly see many finalist contenders right now but Lakers have become my favorite easily and not just because their first seed in west but because they have been really playing a lot of fun and entertaining which we viewers are looking for when we watch a game, it has been a long time since I watched a team that actually entertained me so much as Lakers.

Clippers and rockets have a good chance if they play any decently as well, Denver would probably have a less chance but they are doing decent as well.

As long as Lakers stays healthy, other teams are going to have a big big task to beat them on a 7 game series and lets not forget Lebron is one of the all time best when it comes to playoffs, dude carried the Cavs team that is bottom team now to FINALS let alone playoffs so I assume the good level they are playing now will be even better in the playoffs too.

 Honestly I think there is not that much of a difference between bucks losing to heat and rockets losing to knicks in the sense that any team could lose to any team, it is after all ANY team can lose to ANY team. Bucks should be beating heat if they are such a great team at the first seed of the east conference and miami is an unexpected high ranked team compared to some other east teams that was expected to do better. On the other hand westbrook or harden doesn't matter because rockets should destroy knicks and beat them by 30+ points easily so if westbrook or harden takes the last shot to win that game, it is already bad for them.

Well that is if they have taken that huge lead, unfortunately, it was not the case, it was the other way around.

But it is also concerning though, they supposed to win that game, but what happened? I would only speculate that they just had a bad game and Harden should take the last shot.  Smiley Now they have to face Clippers, another good game to watch.

The thing is they can't rely much on outside shooters because this team is designed on Giannis players.
Look at his stats, sometimes he could even make a triple double and most of the time he has the most points, they can't sacrifice that, I mean they should find a way for Giannis to still score, otherwise they'll lose against a good team.
Well, we cant really deny that isolating the main scorer would really be difficult but i dont agree that they dont have capable outside shooters and as i said earlier this would already depend on their alteration when it comes to ball rotation even Giannis is heavily guarded or isolate.Well, this is enough for this talk or matter and lets see on what would happen into their next game.As said if Heat will still manage to have
the same scenario and outcome then this one is a heavy finalist East contender.

Miami Heat figure out how to beat the Bucks, this seems like very interesting as I usually bet on an underdog team and I hope Bucks would not be another disappointment again in the playoffs, I thought they have an easy journey in the East but there's Miami Heat who could stop their man Giannis.
They do, and I read somewhere that Miami is already 2-0 against the Bucks this season, and that's a good news for Heat backers that they can defeat the most overrated team in the NBA, no offense for the Bucks fans, but that's how I see it.
Well, they will have a match again on 17 so let's see if they actually figured it out. Bucks should figure this out and look to the whole point how Heat beat them like that.
But if Heat manages to beat them again, hands down to MH.

They would definitely analyze it out and would try out their best for it not to happen again.They know that they have been defeated with that kind of guarding by shutting down the main man.

Im expecting for some rotations which the ball wont be focused on Giannis yet there are capable scorers on outside which they can really be used on since they would target it out on guarding him again.

So ball rotations will be expected on next match up for some adjustments.
That will be one option that they can do to counter the style of Heat's defense. But from this moment, we can simply speculate and look for the possible solution that they will create.
It's just 2 weeks from now and let's see when they face again the solution and counter they've made.
