Immense start. Kerr might think it's necessary to keep Curry in with his 2 fouls, but it essentially is 4v5 on their defensive end now because Curry is terrified of getting his 3rd foul. Shocked Poole isn't given a look
They can't generate offense without Curry. He makes everything on their team work. They can play from the lead ok without him, but they can't score enough to come back from big leads without Curry.
Particularly with a cold Klay Thompson.
Yeah, though even in his prime, Klay was always at his best playing with Curry. Curry makes the Warriors run. He has always been their most important player. Even though Durant was a better individual player, the Warriors were better with Curry than they were with Durant in solo roles.
That is why Kerr left him in with 2 fouls. Boston needs to get him that 3rd, so he is on the bench for awhile. They will put the game away.
