The warriors are not invincible and are just another team

Cousins loss will probably be a net gain for the Warriors. Not sure what his on off court stats are like but in games I have seen, the Warriors just appear to be a better team without him.

They'd been playing a lot better with him lately.  +78 over their last 11 games in the regular season.

Yeah, I think Kerr had finally fully grasped how to hide his weak defence while utilising his offensive skills right before he went down. I think this hurts them and hurts their spirit

I was thinking the same when it happened.

He can’t handle their usual pace. He’s too slow and doesn’t really fit with the other starters.

His on/off was -2.7, so I guess he was a negative for them.

It's always the same with Boggie Cousins.
He seems to be a great player, but he never delivered when the stakes are high. I never like to see injuries, but, he is such a frustrating player for his own teams.

Sacramento - they tried to build around him and failed
New Orleans - they tried to save Davis from leaving, by inserting him in and failed
Golden State - they rehabilitated and waited for him for almost a year and he didn't make it.

It will be interesting to see which other team thinks he is their guy (perhaps LAL with their chances of big FA name dropping). Now it is hard to see him signing a long term deal.

Yea he's one of those head scratcher guys that puts up huge numbers and is obviously incredibly talented but seemingly barely makes a ding in the W column for teams.

They definitely look more vulnerable than they have been in the past but if any team has earned the right to quell doubting fans it’s this team. Let’s see what happens the next game. I actually think losing Cousins might be a blessing in disguise for them.

could be Houstons chance

NOW ....providing the injury prone cp3 stay healthy

Looney, Bell, and Bogut should be just fine for the 24-36 minutes they need a real center.


Bigger question for them will be getting enough good minutes out of Livingston / Cook / Iggy / Jerebko / McKinnie, but they already had that issue.


Still, in a big game they oughta be able to get 36-38 minutes each out of Curry, Klay, KD, Dray.

I have nothing against CP3. One of the best PGs of the modern NBA.

Class act and seemingly fine human being.

Would not mind seeing him break through to the Finals.

In their blowout games D'Antoni had better get them rest. Pull them early.
