So let's stop with the BS excuse that they're injured and therefore it's ok if they don't give effort and compete. If they did it tonight, then why the hell can't they do it every night, regardless of who's missing?
They're 1-6 in their last 7 games because they aren't very good and their supposed franchise player is so out of shape that he's run out of gas before the finish line, not because of injuries.
As usual the backhanded compliment from you. For one thing no one is saying it's OK for the players left not to give a good effort. What you saw tonight is what we've been try8ng to tell all along. It's down to steph playing his but off, just to give us a chance. We have effort guys in Balkman and Collins, but there's no scoring unless it's Steph. So tonight he was able to do more, cuz he had a few days rest. The guy is icing his knee during the game so you know he's not healthy, but if he can go and do what he capable of , then we have a chance, tho a slim one. THAT'S the reason we've been losing. It's been too much of a one man show. Without Lee, Q and Jamal 3 of our top players statistically and talent wise, you don't have much left. ESPECIALLY if Francis is gonna keep playing like a fool. Teams don't fear our perimeter game cuz they know we can't beat them like that, so they can triple team Curry without penalty.
You want to make it OK that we don't have our best players, but it NOT OK. It's NEVER OK to play that way. Especially for long durations.
