Do you think Steph is a good defender? In reality neither would be considered good on defense but their elite offensive skills more than make up for it and they elevate their play in the biggest moments.

Idk but the team is making it seem like he was the glue holding it together on both sides of the ball. Very Bad defense these past two games without Steph

Game, big game Jimmy nowhere to be found

They have been pathetic on both sides of the ball. Butler has done nothing, Kuminga is invisible, and other than a couple of 3s by both Santos and Hield its been a disaster against a pretty mediocre team.

Curry not playing again. Basketball players are soft. Maybe just a tad tougher than figure skaters.

Lol

clearly going to be in the playoffs or play-in. No sense in risking a longer term injury. Plus more playing time for the guys the FO believes in

When you score 40 points in a half id say the biggest concern is the offense. It's unbelievable that all 5 starters each have 2 points.

If we slip to the play in these past few weeks were a wasted opportunity. With Curry out the defense should improve, but it's actually worse. The Heat are shooting well, but too many uncontested shots, not just tonight but over the past few games.

Agreed, but leaving peeps wide open or unable to secure a rebound is terrible. No matter how good your offense is, just bad rotations

Here is the biggest problem for the Warriors.... when Steph is out the opposition can play the Dubs straight up without having to double team anyone. They don't have a 2nd player really capable of taking over the game on the offensive end. When Steph plays the other team double teams him and it opens things up for everyone.

That's been a problem for a long time. Giving up open corner 3s is something I've complained about forever with this team. It's very frustrating.
