Klay Thompson’s Ankle Will Probably Just Get Stronger

“I read a quote that Steph might be the most improved player in the league this year and the MVP”.

The injury isn’t believed to be serious, but the Warriors could still hold Thompson out with the team playing consecutive nights.

So yes, the Warriors and Curry are a tremendous story, the best in sports at the moment, worthy of all adoration they get. Welcome to the 2015-16 season, where only the Warriors could find themselves capable of breaking two records where everyone thinks there should only be one.

Curry isn’t the only reason why the Warriors are 23-0.

But Walton, the wry, contemplative son of ebullient Hall of Famer Bill Walton, in many ways coaches and views the game through the play of Iguodala, a subtle, do-it-all, semi-reluctant shooter who prides himself on quietly connecting with teammates on the floor and in the locker room. “We’re definitely excited and excited about the crowd that’s going to come tomorrow and about this matchup”. So the good times roll on for a juggernaut that already owns more victories than four National Basketball Association teams did all of last season. George, though, has been nearly as impressive. For the season, Thompson averages 16.9 points with almost three 3-pointers made with 3.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists. A victory would have given the Pacers the best record in the East. Actually, most of the time, Tuesday night was like Duke-Indiana. Instead, the bigger issue was how George and the Pacers plan to defend Curry. That doesn’t mean Miller is ready to say Curry is his superior, though.

If that occurs, George said he plans to be physical. “He has been getting treatment and working out, conditioning twice a day and sometimes three-times a day”, Ainge said.

The Oklahoma City Thunder won each and every quarter against the Grizzlies in Memphis as they dominated almost every aspect of the game.

But in this odd circumstance, in this rare air of merciless winning, the words sounded less like bravado and more like the young coach’s way of acknowledging that his players are human. It looks like that Golden State will shatter that record this year. A stacked Golden State team may prevent Curry from reaching the heights Jordan did as an individual. Thompson said the ankle remained sore and that he did not put much weight on it during the shooting drill. Indiana’s reputation as a basketball state far exceeds the actual amount of people who consistently attend professional basketball games in Indianapolis, but on this night, Pacers fans turned out pretty well, putting forth a sellout crowd and far fewer Stephen Curry jerseys in the audience than I anticipated.

“He’s maintained an excellent attitude”, Vogel said. “Because his are all challenged, everybody goes through the gameplan with the idea of trying to make it as tough as possible on both he and Klay, and they still make really tough shots”. And every night, the Warriors continue to embarrass their doubters.
