Curry not being available has long term problems for them as well. First of all this is shoulder, which means that for a shooter that could be one of the worst after wrist and hand injuries, like a foot one for example is not that bad, albeit Klay shows maybe foot is important too. However, there is also the fact that they will not be able to seeded first, with Curry there is a possibility, without him? There is no chance, and for the next few weeks he will not be there and they will end up losing and that will cause a trouble during playoffs because it will mean that they will face harder opponents.

Great time for the future franchise players of GSW to shine now that Steph is out and some of the vets could not play on a consistent basis.

Voting for the NBA ALL-STAR will start pretty soon. I'm not really into this but I'm looking forward to the young stars that would likely get voted. Zion and Ja are already secured in my opinion and then you have Doncic and Tatum who are still in their early 20's.

For a team playing for the championship, it is very important to win away, but Golden State has drawn a very, very bad away graph at the moment. He also lost to Indiana last night. I think Stephen Curry did his best, but it wasn't enough. Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State, which seem strong as a team in the NBA this year, are in disgrace on the road, but unfortunately, these two teams are in disgrace. It looks like the Boston Celtics will be NBA champions this year. Unless, of course, there are negative evaluations such as disability.

Not sure though that they will just give up this season and not push themselves to defend their title. And probably if they won't be winning this season or if it turn out to be a bad year, I'm thinking that the Warriors dynasty might be over. Or at least Drammond will be let go by the Warriors and could be open for trade or his max contract will not be given by the management.

As far as All Star, Wiggins was voted last year and proved himself. Probably if there is one person that need to step up, it should be Klay Thompson.

Or it's just that the players themselves are evolving to be a complete one.

I mean very tall obviously, they can get rebounds, and then we have from players coming from Europe centers that can shoot 3's. Now we tall, lanky that can shoot and then defend like Rudy Gobert and can dribble like a point guard.

So it's the best combination that we never heard or seen from a player. New unicorn are emerging in like every 5 years now we have Wembanyama or even Bol Bol who has been really hot in the last couple of games.

He came from a serious injury, no need to rush things, and besides, Klay is also not getting any younger, he can still be a great shooter but they'll never be as good as he was before. So the question is, is he still worth a huge contract? My answer is no, but a decent contract would do, Warriors should not forget that they will not win without Klay Thompson's big contribution in the playoffs and in the championships.

It's a travelling violation but... who cares. It's the NBA and they don't call travelling violations especially when a player is on a fast break.
Removing the violation, Bol Bol is the one who is rising now on the Magic who is now on a 5-game winning streak.

Many are eyeing on Wembanyama because of how versatile he is but can we just look on how Bol Bol is playing. He can pass, he can defend, he can make fastbreaks, he can shoot, he's tall. He's like a Giannis version 2.0 or well it isn't that close still but give him more time and he can develop his skills even further. The problem that I'm seeing is his body frame. Since he's very thin compared to other 7-footer big players out there, he's more prone to injuries.

Forget Wembanyama and don't overhype that kid. We already have Bol Bol who is rising right now, and he can also do the things that Wembanyama can do (or at least most of them). He might be included in the Most Improved Player as long as he will not get injured the whole season and TBH, he might win it if he will be a candidate.

None of them made a huge step up this season except Stephen Curry, this time, the best 3-pointer in the league is said to be out for a while like 3-4 weeks then that gives time for Thompson and Wiggins to shine. Both of them should work to balance things, and there's Poole and the rest of the roster to help them while Curry won't be around.

I think right now, it is going to be very difficult for them to qualify for the playoffs. They consider Stephen Curry to be the trump card for them and without Stephen Curry, it would be almost impossible for them to succeed because the carrier will no longer be available to them because of the absence of Stephen Curry.

They have to make some trades because the squad has suffered severe injuries. And I think it is high time that the whole team stopped depending on certain players. Now they have no choice but to win by themselves. Stephen Curry was the only player who consistently played well. All the other players have not been anywhere near as consistent as him. So, there are some hard times coming up for the warriors.
