Asked Steph Curry whether Warriors have discussed matching Denver’s desperation: “There’s going to be increased level of physicality, we’re going to face adversity that we probably haven’t faced during first 2 … If we can’t match their energy, then we don’t have a shot at all.” – 2:54 PM

Eventually Steph Curry will be back in the starting lineup. Someone — Poole, Wiggins, Looney — will have to come out.
Curry: “Hopefully I’ve demonstrated at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter.”

During Game 2 against the Nuggets, the Warriors’ trio of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole combined for a fiery 84 points. Here’s a look at all the stats and highlights. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/18/war… – 1:00 AM

MCL sprain for Middleton makes sense with the way his leg slipped out from under him. Somewhat similar mechanism to Steph Curry’s in 2016 when he slipped on the Motiejunas wet spot. Let’s hope it’s Grade 1, in which case he might make it back in 2 weeksish. – 12:54 AM

Jaylen made the steal on Durant to get Tatum the dunk, which was great, but then he got overzealous on the Drummond drive and left Curry wide open in the corner. Then 2 quick fouls on Tatum and after all that it’s just 3 points off the halftime lead – 8:48 PM

So, Goran Dragic (13 points) and Bruce Brown (14 points, four, rebounds, two assists, a block, a steal) going to do damage to the Celtics. Throw in some Seth Curry (eight points), too.
Let’s include Kevin Durant’s 15 points as Nets put up 60-plus in first half vs. Celtics. – 8:16 PM

Lots of loss of focus moments by Boston.
-Tatum had Curry on a switch, ended up in a Smart pullup three.
-Brown loses Brown for an easy offensive rebound and a foul – 8:08 PM

Not sure posting up Brown on Curry is the way, but getting him on the move against Curry can work. Straight post-ups are too easy to double for Brooklyn. Cuts can work though. – 7:26 PM

Seth Curry hesitated on a wide-open corner 3, turns the ball over and it leads to Al Horford scoring in transition plus the foul. Curry has to let that thing fly. The playmaking is only an added bonus because he shoots 70% on wide open 3s. – 7:21 PM

Kendra Andrews: Steph says that he still feels some discomfort in his foot, but “that doesn’t matter.” It’s about figuring out how to manage that through the playoffs. He also said he’s not necessarily rushing back to the starting lineup, but is just focused on making his minutes impactful. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / April 19, 2022
