Re: 2025 NBA Season

Bad news for Golden State!
Steph's MRI revealed a grade 1 hamstring injury.
He will be out for at least 1 week.

This means he will be out for at least 3 games.
Golden currently leads the series 1-0, but Minnesota could take the lead without Steph.

Can they win this series without Curry? I think yes. so I don't think this injury will be a big problem. I don't think it's going to be like the Minnesota Timberwolves series against the Houston Rockets, it's not going to be a series that goes all the way to the last game. We felt that in the first game, I think even without Curry, Golden State Warriors will go to the next round without much difficulty in this series.

Worst case scenario, they will win 1 game, even if he can't play in game 3, the series will still be 2-2. Then I think GSW will be able to take the lead again. Of course, I hope Curry will recover soon

I really really disagree. Curry is their best player, so missing him should have given them a lot more and because of that we are going to end up with a lot better results and won't need anything further. Curry being gone, is proof enough that Wolves will beat them.

It’s a matter of possibility so the correct answer is they can win the series without Curry. This will only happened if they can copy their performance on game 1 which Buddy Hield take over to Curry role as a 3point shooter while Butler and others contribute on their own way.

Buddy Hield is on side line whenever Curry is playing so replacing him with clutch Buddy can be a good viable solution. This is a hard role for Buddy but they have a chance this way rather than put Kuminga on their rotation that commits a lot of error.

But Kuminga contributed 18 points in just 26 minutes of play. And yeah, they really need Hield’s three point shooting. I thought they could replicate what they did in Game 1 as well but it’s not always a holiday. Their 3point shooting really dropped in Game 2. If they can’t win Game 3 and continue to shoot poorly from beyond the 3pt line especially compared to the usual Warriors, then they’ll definitely feel the significant impact of not having Curry on the court. Jimmy and Hield need to score at least 25+ points each, and others must step up too, especially Green. He needs to drop the antics. They need his defense, playmaking, and scoring the most, not his antics.
