Steph Curry’s return could be a huge X-factor in this series; New Orleans might be able to steal a couple of games with Curry on the sidelines, but the Pelicans’ chances of advancing to the Western Conference Finals are basically non-existent if Curry makes it back in time to finish out this second-round series. And while the next matchup wasn’t decided until early Wednesday morning, Rondo didn’t waste any time scouting. But it was Ginobili, who has yet to decide whether he’ll play next season and thus could have just played in the final home game of his storied career, making sure the Warriors stayed down at the end.

Of course, Rondo foresaw what was coming.
The Golden State Warriors are now preparing to face off with one of the league’s best young players, Anthony Davis, and the New Orleans Pelicans this Saturday. “I’m anxious about what’s happening now”. They were down 10 through two quarters in Game 4 but fought back and were ahead 93-91 with 3:49 remaining before Korver connected on two deep 3s.
With the Warriors still without the injured Stephen Curry, it was left to Klay Thompson and Durant to carry the offense.
Wright’s report is also an indication that Popovich plans to return to the team at some point this summer.
Either way, Durant shooting 25 percent from beyond the arc for an entire series can not happen again in the next round if the Warriors want to advance.
PATTY Mills’ San Antonio Spurs have been eliminated from the NBA Playoffs by the reigning champion Golden State Warriors. The Golden State Warriors are allowing 29.8 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 47.4 rebounds per game.
“Obviously assume the worst and kind of go from there”, Jrue Holiday said of preparing for Curry’s presence. “We’re lucky to get out of here”, Kerr said. Again, they start Andre so having him in there and even other line-ups. Little is known about the quad, except that it’s bothersome enough for the Spurs star to play just nine regular-season games and spend the majority of the season at a rehabilitation facility in NY.
If they can not hash out their differences, there is no shortage of National Basketball Association teams that will call the Spurs to inquire about a possible trade. According to ESPN, the team had a pre-sale designed for season ticket holders, but codes were shared with non-season ticket holders who should not have been eligible to purchase tickets. Yet Kerr and his players insisted all along they would find another level and groove when the stage got bigger in April – and they were spot on in those sentiments. We have a ton of respect for those guys, but we don’t fear anyone. New Orleans had three players score 25 or more points in the contest. This is just too many points to lay with a Pelicans squad that’s firing on all cylinders.

“It’s going to be very hard and our guys know that”, Rondo said.
