The hits just keep on coming for the Golden State Warriors who lost Stephen Curry for the next three months. I’m not sure there has ever been anything comparable to a team losing their top three players in six games. Going back to the NBA Finals that precisely what the Warriors dealt with.

Aside from Curry the Warriors also had to play without the services of Draymond Green and D’Angelo Russell this week who each suffered their own injuries.

Owner Joe Lacob is adamant about not tanking — but given their realities pundits are all suggesting it’s time the Dubs channel the pre Tim Duncan draft Spurs season. Not a bad suggestion — although I’m not sure the rest of the Association would be thrilled for a healthy Curry, Thompson, and Green to get gifted with a top draft prospect.
