GSW without Curry will suffer and will need to adapt, although one player doesn't mean the team HAS to perform worse he definitely had a huge impact carrying GSW.

Golden State Warriors isn't only about Stephen Curry. There are plays that he's good and there are matches that he's not playing well. Most of the players aren't consistent and there are timings that we can see they are lucky plus the good performance. Don't look at GSW as Stephen Curry team, you are missing the other important players who are contributing well to the team.

I agree with you, the team is no longer focus with Curry alone, it was already a super team where each individuals can perform and contribute to win a match, but playing against Minnesota is really a tough match as the opponents really in need of winning each game that they've left to make sure some
place in the next round, we will see more good games while the season is nearing to playoffs period.

Rockets beat Spurs, Three straight losses for SAS that put them on the #10 spot on the western conference. This the first again for a long time that Spurs (if the streak continues) will not be included in the POs. I don't know I just feel that Kawhi's absence is a big hurt for the Spurs, Coach Pop must do some adjustments again as most of the teams already knew his system already. Other players must step up especially Rudy Gay as he takes the spot of Kawhi for the meantime. The veteran players such as Manu, Parker, and Pau are doing there best to help LA but it's not enough, the coaching staff must also put pressure on their bench players so that the could contribute as much as possible.

Good thing the Minnesota Timberwolves were able to hold of the Golden State Warriors, that is one of the needed wins for a team who is trying hard to be on a playoff spot. The Golden State Warriors also don't have Andre Iguodala which shows us they needed him as well. And if you think GSW is the one one who has missing firepower, think again as the Timberwolves will miss Jimmy Butler for the rest of the regular season so its up to Towns and Wiggins as the scoring option of the team. Still a tough road ahead of the team.

Without curry, the rest f the team will be able to concentrate on defending klay Thompson, relieving the pressure!
Let durant score and separate the others!
Curry is very important for GSW!

It's not about Steph Curry its because of their opponent game-play.

And, even the Warriors have S. Curry on that games they will still because Timberwolves and Trail Blazers really need that games win to make this season playoffs.

Indeed, KD and Klay must step up plus Green is still there too. A few adjustment must be done by Steve Kerr, since most of their play revolves with Steph. Absence of Curry is quite tough for GSW the intensity he gives inside the court is different. Well, It's just a sprained ankle definitely he would be back in no time.

I think this is the perfect opportunity for the James Harden and the Rockets to get away from the Warriors for the Conference Title so they can have home court advantage if they get to play against each other. But even without Steph they have a great team, KD is just going to have to shot a bit more.
On the other side, a lot of people sleeping on the Raptors, 1 game away from a 50 win season and playing really well. Lets see how far they can go.

true injury problems are the biggest threat for GSW then any other team. Spurs, thunders and Rockets cannot be that good when they face a full healthy Warriors because after watching rockets in playoffs last year I will never believe they have the ability to do anything this season they look slightly better their only chance to win is when GSW face injury problems just like the others. They will have to prove it For me it's the spurs if Khawhi is healthy. But even they are not that of a big threat. The warriors are in a league of their own. If they are healthy they win the Wester Conference.

Last Houston rockets game against Dallas Mavericks show us again the greatness of this team , James harden didn't play , Clint Capella played a poor game statistically ,even with that they still win the game after a long trip coming back from Toronto Canada , they are trying so hard to not lose that first seed because it could be helpful on the playoffs against the warriors .

That is their first win after a loss against the Toronto, maybe they are due for another winning streak again.
I am very positive that they will end the number 1 seed in the west this season because with curry unavailable to play in the warriors
they have lesser chance to win, actually they are on a 2 losing streak which gives the Rockets to go up more.

I don't think the injury of Steph curry should be an obstacle for the golden state warriors for the upcoming games when they will miss their best player , the still have 3 all star players and also 2 finals MVP like igodala and Kevin Durant , I think Klay Thompson should show up more on games because he is one of the greatest shooters on NBA history and his own statistics should be better than the usual , I still see the rockets getting the first seed but the warriors shouldn't be very far from them .

Well, they will surely miss Steph Curry very much specially in close out games. However, I agree with you that they have others players that can pick up the slack that Steph Curry left. Expect Kevin Durant to lead once again and show that he can carry the team. And Klay needs to step up as well. I know he is a great shooter, but please stop with the argument as one of the greatest shooters on NBA. His name is still not in the same breathe as Reggie Miller or Ray Allen or Larry Bird. He may be in the top 21-40 though.

Same perception and views but we cant really avoid the fact that Curry do really have a major role into their team which means missing out his participation would really leave a hole into overall performance but well this team might really be ready on these kind of circumstances and i agree on the fact about remaining start players which can really make or do their jobs or roles even with or without curry.

James Harden is already a beast since his Oklahoma City Thunders day. The problem to this guy is his choking attitude especially at the most important games in his playoffs experienced. If you try to recap James Harden performance since he entered playoffs, all are having a monster stats and performance at the first and early games but to the turning point games which is the most important part (try to do research) he is literally becoming an off night player at all aspects (shooting, passing, defense, !@@## etc.) If this will changed this upcoming playoffs, I see Rockets can even acquired the Larry O' Brien trophy.

I do agree. It seems like Harden have than kind of tense hands whenever the playoffs is starting.
They should really push it until the 2nd round just for experience. Harden needs a lot of it to take the tense out. It affects all of his shooting whenever he feels that way. He cant just drive the ball to the paint as he always does. He should be unpredictable as always. He got Chris Paul now so I think he doesnt need to do it all.

Well yeah Stephen Curry is a big deal but I don't think his dissappearance will give the Golden State Warriors a lesser chance to win in their upcoming remaining games.

They have a lot of offensive players out there, plus the defense is getting stronger thanks to Durant's blocking and Green's pure defense below the rim. Steph is a good addition with the offense but they have Klay moving as always and still climbing numbers with his points.
Then add Nick Young who had been a tremendous addition when it comes to the offense.

So it was Toronto who ended the 17 game winning streak by Houston and the Raptors were one of the top teams to do it. Grin

Did not think it was going to end and were going up against the Golden State Warriors one of 24 wins last season.
I watched Houston's last game before this Raptors one and believe that Harden is the one to beat when the Rockets make it to the playoffs. He is just a beast on court.
Toronto already clinched a playoff spot a couple of games ago so that win was just fo sho. Cheesy

Houston rockets wait for Anderson to return to the full lineup!

I think the rockets will kill the game if they encounter the Toronto raptors!

The results of the regular season are for reference only!

Tonight I like Portland and cavs

Clippers haven't beaten anyone good on their streak

Raptors are legit because they end the winning streak of the Rockets.
It was a high scoring game ending at 108-105 in favor of the Rockets, I thought they'll be lucky tonight but they ran out of luck.
Anyway, good game they are showing, at least we are all entertained, looking for a another long streak.

That's really an impressive win for the Raptors and as Drake predicted the streak ended to his favorite team. I would like to see how the Raptors fare during the play offs, Because at the moment they are the best team in the Eastern Conference.

Raptors are really on fire! They are indeed looking pretty good this season. Maybe, this could finally be their season.

Too early to say but they are making a killing out of it. Imagine ending up Harden and Houston's streak. And its a thing of a beauty to see their defense really doing their thing.

Again, they maybe showing very good but we have to see how they are made of specially coming playoff, were all the teams really play like its there last game because they are chasing their every dream of having a ring.
