Having a 6'2 guy on the block for a major rebound is coaching malpractice

Yeah, looked like Haliburton missed the free throw intentionally (not 100% sure though). Tyrese is one of the smartest players in the league.

Curry out for a week.

Twolves should aim to be up 3-1 at the very least.

I would be surprised if he comes back at all for this series. Hamstring strains are one of the easiest things to reaggravate.

There's a big gap between Game 5 (May 14th) and Game 6 (May 18th).

I could see him being back for Game 6 if they're down 3-2.

Depends on if Wolves have a ****** shooting night that gets combined with a Playoff Jimmy game.

Can the Warriors score over 95 without Curry?

yeah, I guess the Wolves are still prone to being terrible on offense, but will they really get Draymond nailing 3's again?

It’s only grade 1 though, whatever that means.

I think Buddy and Podz would have to have really good shooting nights. They may not need to score over 95 lol. Minny just plays stupid sometimes... last night was so weird though. The whole team collectively got tight when shots weren't falling and no one wanted to shoot.

In GS the Warriors might get one and then I think Steph comes back and they likely still lose. I just don't trust the Wolves to win 4 straight games.

Warriors without Curry are a joke, the TWolves should be fine as long as Ant regains some composure. Did not like his demeanor at all last game.

Having a 6'2 guy on the block for a major rebound is coaching malpractice

Pet peeve side note...

While one could say the coach has final say, I would wonder how much this is like having selected stars shooting technical free throws when maybe they're like an 80-ish% shooter (or even less) when there's some other guy on the floor who isn't "a guy" that shoots close to 90% (like any time someone [really just one person] who wasn't Korver walked their *** to the stripe pissed me off to no end). That decision is permitted for a rationalization of secondary reasons rather than the primary idea of securing the free throw. When your best guy sees himself as a savior and calls his own number to be on the block, does the coach have tight enough control of the dynamic to tell buddy to slow his roll?

Nice to see all those years of extreme tanking pay off for the Pacers!
