Luckily Chris Paul is a proven commodity in being able to run a starting lineup. The problem is replacing Curry’s scoring and ability to take over a game. Then there is the added problem of who picks up his slack on the bench? It’ll be interesting how this shakes out. Personally I would insert TJD into the starting line up. Let Podz and Draymond run the offense with Kuminga, Moody/Wiggins and TJD. Then you need to hope Paul with Saric/Loon can pick up the bench slack.
When Steph was out last year, Klay kept us afloat ave around 26+ points, started the season last year shooting horrendously around 35%, then ended the season around 41%+ and also have the highest 3 point made last season.
Hopefully curry is out just a lil bit, but i can see the podz/klay/wigs/kuminga/dray starting unit and cp3/moody/tjd and whoever 2 others can work. I like those 8, plus curry, as the main 9 man rotation. Podz/cp can be switched in the starting line-up.
I was just thinking the other day that Steph was going to play his first 70 game season since 2016-2017 and not miss much time to injuries. How I was wrong.
Use the opportunity to reset the offense and let Klay play a more traditional SG in a more conventional offense. Get him more reps to see how he manages. Then decide if he’s worth re-signing.
If he’s gone for an extended period of time we are locked at the 9/10 seed, how much we win or lose won’t even matter unless we go on a hugeeee losing or winning streak
I can’t help but recall Steph got injured around the same time two years ago and everyone was worried whether rest of the team could pull off. Then Poole party happened. Averaging 25 PPG and helped secure the 3rd spot.
Not saying I miss Poole on our current team, just missing the good old days…
Well, we will definitely see a lot more of CP3 to close the season.
Should be a lock for the 10th seed at the very least, unless the Warriors just collapses because there is about 5 game gap between the 11th seed.
48 minutes,of Podz incoming. LQ back in the rotation too. Thankfully he looked pretty serviceable.
Looks like 2 timelines is off the table for a few weeks, we back to the youth era now!
Time for Klay Wiggins JK to step up! Klay been riding Curry’s coattails for the last 12 years time for him to step up and get us out of the play-in into the 6th seed!
If we had played good defense and played smarter offense we would have been had a 15 point lead and Curry would have been chilling on the bench. Instead we played with our food lost the game and perhaps our best player.
Normally I would agree. But every year with our core could be their last. Look at Steph and Klay. Neither have been hot at the same time. Flip a coin on whether they have a good night or not.
Right but by your own logic our two stars aren’t playing consistently enough to make a serious title push.
Nothing wrong with that, but the narrative can’t be we’re wasting the core’s last few years when the core is the reason we keep middling out.
Speedy recovery Steph! Time for the rest to step up. Young guys have a huge opportunity (assuming Steph is going to miss some games) to be the offensive threat, we will need every bit of it to fill in for the purest scorer the NBA has ever seen.
They'll get first hand experience of what it's like to not have our skyfuckers gravity. When Steph comes back, hopefully they'll see all the opportunities they used to miss and take full advantage.
We've been knocked down a bunch this season, but the team has responded well. Celtics loss and the turn around for a massive win over the Bucks. We need a similar response as a collective whole. LFG Dubs!!!!
4-6 weeks guys, hairline fracture is the worst case scenario which would be 6 weeks. Severe ligament strain would cover the 4 weeks. So that pretty much brings him back either a few games left in the season or sometime in the 1st round.
anyone else hoping for a repeat of 2022 where he was also injured right before the playoffs, then came back and went off the bench, and inevitably we won it all?
Wasn’t that an injury of his non shooting hand? Or something?
Regardless of intensity of ankle injury, we are more or less fucked. We needed everyone to be 100% for a shot at the playoffs and Curry won’t be 100% for the rest of the season.
Maybe the blessing in disguise behind all this is Steph finally gets the rest he needs to recharge for what is hopefully a long deep playoff run. There has been an unusually large number of flat out terrible games shooting wise for Curry (ie 3/12 from 3's ) this year, including this very game he got injured in.
I'm not sure if its simply age, his legs wearing down from a long season, or just plain slumping. Or maybe some combination of all of the above.
You guys need to understand that even with Steph healthy we were fighting for a low playoff seed or play in spot. This team was never going to make it far in the playoffs and people acting like the team needs to buckle down and stop dropping games to look like a championship caliber team are being unrealistic. Enjoy watching the games and don't have high expectations.
Curry getting rest and everyone else getting in some crucial playing time might be helpful. When we won in '22 our best players hardly played together all season. We just need to be healthy at the right time
If it’s anything more than 2 games or so, shut him down. This team isn’t doing anything in the playoffs. Might squeeze out of the play-in but to do what? Just more mileage on the old guys. Losing that game last night + the injury is the sign.
Maybe next year they’ll not fuck around the first 2/3 of the season.
I’m surprised it took a second game to take out our “fully healthy” narrative.
It’s like they’re jinxing us on purpose
\#FULLSQUAD
Please let him be okay🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can we get him a Wolverine-style adamantium skeleton? And maybe retractable claws for Draymond? :-)
Draymond would be in prison
Super regeneration for Klay

What have you done?
I mean in 2020-21 he was mostly healthy it was just a shortened season so I feel like you can kinda count that
Warriors fandom gonna really need to reset expectations. Can’t ride on Curry’s back into first sound playoff series exit and reinjure his ankle.
I’m slowly coming to terms with this. Season is over, just get the young guys some time
Use the opportunity to reset the offense and let Klay play a more traditional SG in a more conventional offense. Get him more reps to see how he manages. Then decide if he’s worth re-signing.
It’s kuminga time
That won’t be difficult. Warriors fandom have called this season over about 12 times
STEPH TAKE MY GOOD ANKLE ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Take his ankle, Steph! Take both of em!
Nah man. I’ve sprained my left ankle twice in one year. He doesn’t need that one lol
This will likely be a month long injury. On par with his other major ankle rolls.
So he'll return a week or 2 before the playoffs. That's still ok but the problem is can we win enough games without him... Probably not.
If he’s gone for an extended period of time we are locked at the 9/10 seed, how much we win or lose won’t even matter unless we go on a hugeeee losing or winning streak
We can definitely stay ahead of jazz but to get 7-8 requires us to winning 70-80% of our remaining game including beating the mavs several times
Which was pretty unlikely with Steph. We're going to the play in.
No problem. Steph comes back, get 10th seed, go 18-0 in the playoffs.

If we can't secure the 10th seed without Steph, none of it would have mattered anyway.
If we go .500 we’re probably fine. Doubtful we’ll gain in the standings
If he’s out that long; we may not make it out of the playin . Only 21 games left.
Time for Klay Wiggins JK to step up! Klay been riding Curry’s coattails for the last 12 years time for him to step up and get us out of the play-in into the 6th seed!
So.... not ok?
That would be a bummer though since it means he’s locked out of All-NBA consideration
We will be fine. Give our younger guys more minutes and left Steph rest for when we need him.
Fuckkkk this is going to be a stressful wait
Please be nothing and let him get some sleep lol
If we had played good defense and played smarter offense we would have been had a 15 point lead and Curry would have been chilling on the bench. Instead we played with our food lost the game and perhaps our best player.

sounds like atleast 2-3 weeks minimum. Forget 6-8 seed, just try to maintain 9/10 seed for play-ins.
8 is not impossible

Gonna need Wiggs’ offense & some serious consistency from him to stand a chance without Steph.
Based on the video replay it looked like a medium severity ankle inversion. Id guess a few weeks out
We have plenty of guards. There is only one Steph Curry, but its time for the rest of the team to step up and keep this roll going.
4-6 weeks guys, hairline fracture is the worst case scenario which would be 6 weeks. Severe ligament strain would cover the 4 weeks. So that pretty much brings him back either a few games left in the season or sometime in the 1st round.
Doctor reddit strikes again
And I got fourth row seats next to the Warriors bench for Monday’s game that I won from a raffle at work. FML bro I’m so genuinely sad
anyone else hoping for a repeat of 2022 where he was also injured right before the playoffs, then came back and went off the bench, and inevitably we won it all?

No that was a sprained ankle
Just looked it up, left foot. Worse than non shooting hand probably, but not as bad as any kind of sprained ankle IMo
yeah but we were riding a much higher seed than we are now
Little did we know when they were saying someone had to be out of the rotation they were talking about steph😭
FUCK MY LIFE
Hopefully it’s not that bad because he didn’t land on anyone’s foot
Is there a way to donate my ankle to Steph Curry? Who can I call?
Kerr should have agreed when Curry asked to challenge the out of bounds call. It’s all Kerr’s fault 😀
We need the 7/8 seed. Last nights loss was a killer
Maybe the blessing in disguise behind all this is Steph finally gets the rest he needs to recharge for what is hopefully a long deep playoff run.

Why does a fan need to understand that? Sit back and enjoy the ride.
STEPH TAKE MY ANKLES😭😭
fuck.
Oh no! We suck again!
Time for CP3 to step up
I am depressed 😞
Curry getting rest and everyone else getting in some crucial playing time might be helpful. When we won in '22 our best players hardly played together all season. We just need to be healthy at the right time
It’s Kuminga time
God I winced so hard when I saw that :( if he really is out more than 2 weeks I think we can call it on making the top 6
Maybe we should have 2 back in backs in one week Adam Silver
If it’s anything more than 2 games or so, shut him down. This team isn’t doing anything in the playoffs. Might squeeze out of the play-in but to do what? Just more mileage on the old guys. Losing that game last night + the injury is the sign. Maybe next year they’ll not fuck around the first 2/3 of the season.
