    They haven't turned the Corner yet. Running a spent, overworked, and overused Warriors team out of the gym means nothing until they win it all. Otherwise, they are what they have been this entire team..2 stars who can't win it all.

    The main factor is that Curry is fresh off an MCL tear and is not 100%.

    Much of that has to fall on Donovan, turns out Brooks was indeed a bad coach.
    Yup, a simple post pass to Ibaka and a Westbrook cut gets a much easier look.

    * the elite team more athletic in the league
    * two top 5-6 players finding his game at the same time = domination

    roberson just making a few plays, so they pay somewhat for ignoring him entirely on offense makes a huge difference. if hes not hurting the thunder on offense, they have a sick two way starting five, with length and size at all five spots.

    Ever had a torn ligament? Doubt itl as you'd know you can't come back after 2 weeks. What you mean is a partial rupture, but when a doctor says tear he means full blown. A partial rupture would still leave you in a lot of pain after two weeks; Curry doesn't look like he plays through pain.
