Love the E1Ps, however you need to brush up on your Shakespeare. The actual line is: "Alas poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio." The line is frequently misquoted as "...I knew him well."
there’s also a 90% chance kyrie leaves in FA after they fail to make it out of the west this season. dallas will probably end up losing luka and kyrie. 😂

Well, this isn't great news or anything, but as with the shoulder I'm relieved it's not worse. Bummed he's going to miss the ASG but the timing is fortunate that it gives him the additional time to heal without missing any more games in that period. We have a month-long stretch post ASG where there are zero additional days of rest and two or three back-to-backs, so it's going to be a rush to the finish line again.
Steph being sidelined should (hopefully) result in everyone else being hyper focused on the Playoff picture and the execution needed to stay in it. I think Kuminga, DDV, and Jerome are really positioned to make things happen even without the Chef. Potential problems could be Klay hero balling or Jordan chaos.
"I’m told Stephen Curry avoided serious structural damage in his lower left knee after an MRI on Sunday. But caution, pain tolerance and an eventual return to conditioning once that pain subsides will keep the 34-year-old out at least a couple of weeks."
-The player's knee comes in contact with Steph's knee. However, Steph doesn't completely plant his leg when the injury occurs. Instead, his foot comes off, which reduces the pressure applied on the knee. This means that the injury is NOT an ACL injury.
-Sutterer also mentioned about how Curry hurt his left leg in the @ Nuggets game and may have hurt it a second time in the vs. Mavericks game.
-Injury is not an LCL injury. It would probably be a fibular head fracture, but X-Ray came up negative, so that is ruled out as well.
-Sutterer believes that since the impact happened on the lower leg instead of the knee, it's more likely a nerve injury than a ligament injury.
-Sutterer has "very low concern" of the injury being a significant injury that would cause Curry to miss a lot of time.
My pessimistic conspiracy theory - they know Steph is seriously injured (not out for season but maybe 6-8 weeks) but don't want to reveal it / lose leverage before the trade deadline.
Leaked press conference audio from preseason, 2040!!
Reporter: "Now that Looney has retired after not missing a game for 18 straight years, will you be turning to James Wiseman at the 5?"
Coach Draymond Green: "We're going to take a look at everything. Right now Johnny Kuminga, Jr. is giving us some solid minutes at that spot. With James it's just a matter of him getting a bit more of a feel for the game, let it slow down, let the game come to him. We think he's really coming along."
"Is that why you've sent him down to Santa Cruz?"
"It's just about getting the reps."
"And what about Iguodala?"
"We're really excited about having Andre agree to play one more year. He's saying this is his last. But he's such a valuable contributor, such a solid mentor to the young guys, a stable voice in the locker room."
Name a Donte weakness. He isn't elite at anything, but he's very good at all things. He passes, he rebounds, he shoots, his percentages are good; he is steady, good at game management, he hustles, he is a bulldog on ball and positional defender. If you look up "guard" in the NBA, it's his picture, lousy haircut and all.
I want Steph and Draymonds earlier bench tech's rescinded since we clearly aren't giving a shit about that anymore considering that the damn Mavericks are the reason for the rule in the first place.
Give us our REAL joyful bench celebrations back. That would have been good for at least 4 more wins so far this season.
Look there is the Warrior's bench seated quietly as directed by the League, but wait on the other end of the court there is a sea of standing blue and white. So which is it? Because one of these is is absolutely an advantage.
Kuminga seems to be more consistently making good choices. Still needs to work on his running back crash and shoot handles though. Having his athleticism paired with our available outside shooting and passing is such a tantalizing daydream as his handle continues to progress.
(This particular Kuminga though, has in fact not been brought to you by Asher B, though I suspect it would be endorsed)

Ty can play another 19 games before he needs to be signed to 15 men roster.
Hopefully Steph is back by then. If not, 15th spot would probably be Ty's and not Lamb!!

Happy Find out the results of Steph's MRI Day to those that observe.

To first timeline or second timeline, that is the question
Whether it is nobler for the coach to suffer
the slings an arrows of the win now fans
Or play youngsters against a sea of troubles
And by opposing them, to miss the playoffs
