What did the Warriors announce about Stephen Curry’s minutes for the Clippers game?
Steph Curry was one of the three Golden State Warriors who will be on a minutes restriction in the team playing game against the Clippers in Los Angeles tomorrow. Steve Curry said that Steph Curry, Christophe Brzingas, and Al Horford will all play fewer than 40 minutes and it will must-win game. Well, damn, I hope so. They will play fewer than 40 minutes? Yeah! Hold on, let me see something tonight. That's a must-win game. Why he gonna dictate how many minutes they playing already? I guess he said, because I got the Clippers winning that game.
You don't believe in them boys over there in the Bay, huh?
I said I got the Clippers. Now, man, you can continue to bet if you want to.
Oh, no, no. I ain't got no horse in that race.
I mean, if you think about it, the Charlotte Hornets and Miami, they went to overtime. And Miles Bridges with overtime played 43 minutes. LaMelo Ball played 40 minutes. They played the most. And then you got Miami. Andrew Wiggins had 42. Khalil Ware had 42. Davion Mitchell had 48. And Harmon Hawkins had 41. So I hope in a regulation game, if it doesn't go over time, they play fewer than 40 minutes. Yeah. I mean, Steph don't normally play that many minutes. He don't play. Steph has really never played no major minutes because they were so concerned about his ankles, Joe.
Right.
Now, obviously, come postseason time, all bets are off. But I guess they're saying, look, coming off the knee injury and dealing with what he's dealing with, he's getting on up there and they say, you know what? We're not going to even chance it. Right. Because Steve Kerr knows the intensity that those guys are going to have to play with tomorrow to even win the game. He know how physical that game going to be. Right. You know what I mean? And with Steph just coming back, you don't want him to re-aggravate nothing. But at the same time, hell, if you want to continue to keep playing, you're going to need that man on the floor. For sure. Yeah. Even just his presence on the court opened things up for other players.
There you go. There you go. I don't know if you got much choice, Steve. It ain't like you got Prime, Klay, and KD out there so you can really dictate that Steph is only going to play 30 minutes. You ain't got them hoses that can run like that anymore.
Yeah.
Nah, they're going to have to get some great contributions from some of them other guys, you know, who've been playing pretty – Yeah, Paz is going to have to play really well. Yeah, yeah. But the thing is, you know, they traded Kaminga. Moses Moody is hurt. I mean, maybe they got to get some production from – they got another guy, a guy from Brazil that's been shooting the cover out the ball. I know, I don't be knowing none of them guys neither. I ain't gonna lie to you. He's gonna have to play really well for him. He's gonna have to play well. LeBron spoke about finally avoiding the play-in tournament this year. Let's take a listen to what Bron had to say.
We have the play-in.
Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be great. I am happy because being a participant of the fucking play-in for some years, that I get to sit back on my couch with my wine, knowing I don't have to play until the weekend. Are you not entertained? And just sit there and just, like, enjoy. I'll have one iPad with golf on and the other one with the play in. Yeah, I'll just be so excited.
You got a week to prepare and watch them duke it out. It's good games.
Yeah, watch and just, like, enjoy basketball. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, look, I know he'll appreciate this because y'all remember when they first came over with this play-in thing. He hated it. Yeah, Bron hated it. He wasn't with that. Yeah. But he realized that, hell, without the play-in, hell, I wouldn't even have been in the tournament. So listen. So what happened to the dislike turned into a blessing? Yeah. Yeah, because the past three, four years, they've been in the play-in.
Mm-hmm.
And, yeah, I'm sure – look, I'm sure he's happy he get a chance to kind of sit back. But I think he does understand the challenges that's ahead of him, you know, in playing this Rockets team without Luka and AR.
