OAKLAND, Calif. -- Stephen Curry said Thursday that his knee is "fine" and he's not paying attention to speculation that an MCL sprain he suffered in the first round of the playoffs might not be fully healed.

"I haven't listened to anything about it. I know what I need to do to get ready for games. I'm fine. If I'm playing, then I need to play well," he said when asked about his health at a shootaround in the Golden State Warriors' practice facility.

Curry suffered the knee injury in Game 4 of the Warriors' first-round series against the Houston Rockets.

Curry also said he was "fine" in Oklahoma City immediately after Golden State's Game 4 loss wherein the two-time MVP shot 6-of-20 for 19 points. That was similar to his output in Game 3, when Curry shot 7-of-17 for 24 points.

"I got a lot of good shots in Game 4. I missed pretty much all of them to start the game," he said Thursday. "I got into the lane, got some open looks and 3s. Shots that I take and have confidence making. I've just got to make them tonight."

Draymond Green said of his teammate's health: "I'm not sure if he's hurt or not. He had a bad game. It happens."

Green expressed confidence about Thursday's Game 5, in which the Warriors face elimination as they trail the Oklahoma City Thunder 3 games to 1, stating: "We'll be fine."

Curry is focusing on the task at hand.

"I'm not really worried about the legacy of 73 [wins]," Curry said. "Right now we've got to win tonight."

They both need to play better. Green and curry. Curry shouldn't guard Westbrook at all. The warriors need to start well and make they three and move and cut to get open baskets. The warriors are not athletic as the thunder. They need space to get they passes off etc cause the thunder length speed athleticism is getting tip and causing errand throws from the warriors. Thunder need to keep doing what they done they found a formula. I.think if warriors blow them out they got momentum going into game 6. If they win In a close game. I think thunder will win game 6.
