Even if they know he will beg and plead to play through any pain.

At the same time, though, the Dubs went plus-28 with Curry on the court in Game 1 (minus-2 with him off the court), so the idea of even playing one game without him isn’t exactly an enticing one.
Kerr said he spoke with Curry earlier as well about the team’s decision-making process when it came to his right ankle, which was surgically repaired in April 2012. “They still have guys that can shoot it and can score, and guys that move well without the ball”.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is unlikely to feature in Game 2 against the Houston Rockets on Monday due to an ankle injury.
Steph is a warrior.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said Sunday that Bradley underwent an MRI exam after being injured in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s 102-101 loss in Atlanta.
Curry was undergoing treatment on the ankle Sunday and unavailable for interviews.
If the Warriors are at full strength, Houston’s best might not be enough to win at Oracle Arena, where visiting teams have only won twice in 41 regular-season games. “He plays hard. He tries to get under your skin with certain things that he does, but that’s kind of his M.O”. “Coach (Rick Carlisle) is going to look at film, and we’ll look at film together as well, and he’ll have a game plan for us for Game 2”.
In games where Curry has missed completely – there were three of them in 2015 – the Warriors have not fared well, at least by their standards. “Obviously we’ve got to find different ways to score, but we’ll prepare for that and see what happens”. The contest will mark the second and final game of Houston’s road trip and the second and final game of Golden State’s homestand. In fact, contributions by the bench were a big reason the Warriors set the National Basketball Association record with 73 wins to top the 1995-96 Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls that Kerr played for. “If there is, we won’t play him”. That’s 30 points taken off – really 60 points because of all the stuff he does on the court with playing defense, passing the ball, helping and controlling the offense.
– Squad transitions. All eyes seem to be on Curry’s ankle right now.
Nevertheless, the Warriors aren’t about to let anyone take shots at Curry.
Since Game 3 of the series isn’t until Thursday, Stephen Curry will get an extended layoff before the team flies to Houston.

Hes the MVP. Take the MVP out of the lineup and there will be some tweaks and changes made, Bogut said. “You know Steph’s a competitor”. It’s a series. There’s still games to be had, there’s still games to played.
