Golden State Warriors


Recommended Posts

This is going to be a dilemma for the Warriors if they care more about beating a regular season record and limping to the playoffs because of injuries. As i have mentioned before are they will to risk injuries to their players that can potentially derail their chances of winning the championship because they are thinking of that chip on their shoulder of beating the regular season record of wins that was set by the 95-96 Bulls. At present, Curry is playing through a shin injury which he mentioned is "part of the season" where the Warriors coaching staff could decide to let him rest and let it heal instead of playing through it and treating it after each game. The Warriors last win against the Lakers saw Curry reinjuring the same shin when he drove to the basket against Randle, afterwhich he was seen limping.

 

They currently are dealing with some injuries to Thompson, Barbosa and Ezeli along with Curry. Even Barnes who just returned to the lineup is coming off an ankle injury which can linger throughout the season.

 

They have gotten by with these injuries because of their favorable schedules. They were able to win against the Nuggets even if they had only 9 players playing. But it will catch up with them once they play the better teams in the league like the Spurs, Thunder and other contenders for the playoffs.

 

Its up to the coaching staff to manage their minutes properly instead of playing them rugged. I like the way the Spurs are managing each of their players' minutes even resting guys like Aldridge and Parker, not just Duncan and the other older vets in their team.

 

How long will Golden State maintain this type of pace once they get injuries which can hamper their chances.

Nice analysis. hoping that warriors will reach playoffs with all key players at max health. beating bulls record will not matter if they don't get the championship. ^_^

Magic Johnson says old nemesis Isiah Thomas was better than John Stockton and Stephen Curry

 

Magic Johnson doesn’t agree with ESPN’s Top 10 point guards list, specifically the part where Isiah Thomas comes at No. 5 behind John Stockton and Stephen Curry. So he went on Twitter storm to make his point.

For everyone's benefit ESPN ranked Thomas 5th behind Curry 4th and Stockton 3rd on their top 10 Point Guard list. Which prompted Magic to respond to the list and give props to Thomas
