Steph tweaked his ankle... Rockets have cut the lead in half

And by half I mean from 30 to 15.

Dubs with another run, back up 23, still no sign of Curry.

Man.. Steph Curry is so good! Nobody saw this coming 3 years ago

 

And to think, when he signed his four year $44 million extension, some fans and basketball writers and commentators were calling it risky and questioned it.

 

Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com

"This was the Warriors taking on financial risk with a player who is clearly talented, but who has also been knocked from the lineup five times the last two regular seasons, not counting similar problems in past exhibition play. He would get hurt running downcourt without being touched. He had surgery on the right ankle in April. He hurt it again this preseason, though in a collision, and was held out of games."

 

Grant Hughes, FanSided

"The Golden State Warriors shouldn’t give Stephen Curry a big contract extension yet. If he wants to agree to a deal well below market rate (somewhere in the range of four years and $30 million), great! Sign him up. But if he’s looking for anything approaching max money (something like five years for $45 million), forget it."

 

There is more of it from back then, but it is just another example of Curry proving his critics wrong and becoming one of the best players in the game.

Beasley dominates for a team

 

2 Jokes are better than one.

 

People on twitter are complaining because Harden got no free throw attempts this game. NBA=rigged for Golden State.

 

Meh. Harden is the least deserving of free throws in NBA history. Flopping mannerism and game built off free throws. Utah deserved to be in the playoffs more than the Rockets. Its too bad they had to be the NBA's victim for Kobe's last game.

The problem was scheduling in a sense. The Rockets played first and won, so no matter what Utah did they couldn't qualify. If those games had been the other way around or played at the same time, then Utah would have had something to play for in that last game. Due to scheduling, Utah had nothing to play for and probably didn't play as hard as they could have done if they and the Rockets played at the same time or Utah had played first.

 

That said, Utah have lost some close games late in the year against the likes of the Clippers and Spurs, and then didn't get the job done against Dallas and the Lakers. There's been more games, but that's probably down to their youth and inexperience. But this season will be part of their development and perhaps they'll take the leap next season and be a play off team.
