It would have been a much different series if Curry were healthy. In any case, y'all are probably going to get your asses kicked in the next round.

This is only their third trip to the WCF. Last year and 04. Just making the finals would be as far as the Wolves have ever gotten. He’s already gotten them as far as KG twice now. They are the now.

As a Warriors fan I wish Curry could have played the entire series. But to assume a different outcome had Curry been able to play is wishful thinking. The T-Wolves showed they were the better team. Give them their props. Even the Celtics managed to win a game without their star. The Dubs did not.
