These dudes are too shortsighted to see that while GS may hold an advantage over whoever comes out of the Clippers/T'Blazers series - the Spurs or the Thunder await them if they make it to the WCF. And up to this point, both OKC and SA have their best players fit and healthy.only Warriors could have the 2x (yes he got it this year) MVP and top scorer out and be considered 'lucky'
Woj- Curry has grade 1 sprain could miss 2 weeks..no damage to knee
TheColi has no logic.only Warriors could have the 2x (yes he got it this year) MVP and top scorer out and be considered 'lucky'
Some dudes are just stupid as fukk breh.
In the 2015 Conference Semifinals, Memphis lost Mike Conley, arguably their most important player against the Warriors, for Game 1. Memphis got blown out, but when Conley game back they won games 2 and 3 even with Conley not at 100%. But then Tony Allen, their best perimeter defender, got hurt during Game 3 and had to either sit out or play limping the rest of the games of the series, and the Warriors won the next three games going away.
In the 2015 Conference Finals, there's a good argument that the Warriors would have been facing OKC if Durant hadn't got hurt, but instead they were matched up against the Rockets.
In the 2015 NBA Finals, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving.
And now in the 2016 NBA Semifinals, they could be facing a very dangerous Clippers team with Curry out....but instead the Clippers have lost CP3 AND Griffin is hurt, and they don't have remotely the depth to recover.
IF Curry is actually out against a dangerous opponent like the Spurs or the Cavs, then you can complain about them having bad luck (although again, its bears remembering that Curry has had an injury-filled career and is sitting on a light contract that has benefited the Warriors as a result.). But right now they're saying that Curry will be out 2 weeks, and they don't have to face anyone dangerous in that time....so Lady Luck is still smiling on them.
Ya'all are whining about hypothetical playoff matchups 3 weeks or even more than a month away without even knowing what Curry's health prospects are for then OR what the other teams' health will be like then. Wait for it.
This is not about them having bad luck, this is about you and others acting as if they get all the luck. Their best player is injured, and his health going forward is still unknown. I'd say that pretty much rules them out of having all the luck on their side.
The only dudes who're whining are the ones who keep bringing up this luck/asterisk bullshyt. Don't quote me again nikka.

The Warriors have been decisively helped by an injury in 3 consecutive playoff series, and now it appears almost certain to be 4 consecutive playoff series. That's good luck.
Your counter is that they MIGHT now have an injury disadvantage in a hypothetical series that won't start for 4 weeks. When Steph might well be healthy by then AND when the other team might well be even more injured than them by then.
And even if the Warriors ARE more injured than their opponents at that point, they'd still be up 4 to 1 in having injury advantages in meaningful series the last two years.
I ain't never said no asterisk shyt. That idea is stupid. But this is the 4th consecutive meaningful series where the Warriors will have seriously benefited from an opponent's injuries, and denying that that's some good luck is asinine.

warriors are lucky because they will be playing blazers who are not capable of beating warriors without curry anyways, they can simply rest him after two weeks and send him to the spurs series. That is a luck.
NBA needs to reconsider their regular season schedule, these superstars are playing only 30 minutes and yet these injuries happen, some freak accident some are not. It wasn't like that few years ago, now half of these playoffs are trash because of injuries, the nba players are asked to do much more on the court compared to 90s and early 00s when lazy defenders used their hands to defend instead of the feet like they do now. Change it to 70 games or make the breaks bigger and extend regular season to 2-3 more weeks.
Remind me what injury did the Rockets suffer in THIS series, that outweighs the loss of Curry - who has only played 39 minutes of the series? Or did you conveniently leave that out just so you could emphasize this run of luck by using "consecutive"?
This is patently ridiculous. It doesn't even warrant a proper response.
The Pelicans weren't beating them if Jrue was healthy - how you deem that a "meaningful" series, I don't know
The Grizzlies weren't beating them if Conley was completely healthy (before Allen was injured, their adjustment on defense made him a non-factor)
The Rockets weren't beating them if Beverley or D-Mo were healthy (not only did GS sweep them during the '14/'15 regular season, but Beverley couldn't stop Curry - shyt the Rockets are more or less healthy this postseason and can't beat the Warriors who are WITHOUT Curry)
To add on -
And I don't quite understand how them being fortunate last postseason, has to do with them supposedly having all the luck this season if Curry only players 39 minutes of the postseason, before the WCF? Even if Curry does come back in time for the Spurs or Thunder - he'll still be carrying a lingering injury and rust for that matchup.

Explain why this series against the Rockets isn't considered meaningful (the Rockets are healthier this season), and their series against the Rockets last season was? Explain how the Pelicans series was meaningful, and this series against the Rockets isn't - when the Rockets are the better team?

I agree, plus the warriors get to play blazers which will be no problem at atll, their superstar will have time to rest so when he comes back we may not even know maybe he will be so rested he will be playing out there on fresh legs while spurs will be coming off the okc series which will be much more difficult to play than rest of gsw playing against blazers. They are clearly that much lucky. If they win it all this year they should have the asterisk attached next to the championship trophy.
That is not luck. The uncertainty of the health of his knee nullifies that very thought. You say they can rest him and send him to the Spurs series, as if he'll be spending all his time training in the gym and will be game-fit for the WCF.
It's funny how dudes make a big thing of all the luck the Warriors had last season, when nobody batted an eyelid when the Spurs had arguably more luck during their WC-run to the Finals in '12/'13.

Defending America against cacs
So much dumb shyt being said in this thread. nikkas thinking Kerr would throw a playoff game 
That Curry will be gtg in 2 weeks. Coli strikes again.
GSW won't get to the Finals probably.So how many "But Steph was rusty" excuses are we gonna hear when Cleveland demolishes them in the Finals?
The Mistake From the Lake Boys looking unbeatable right now.
Conf Semis have started while 1st round was still going for other teams. Don't kno if they changed that, it'd be wack if they did.
This is why I been telling the fakkits here that 73 wins don't mean shyt. Those 73 wins couldn't save Curry from injury. GSW aren't even out of the woods yet against Houston. All the fakkits celebratin 73 wins feel stupid now.

Yeah don't even get me started on that hypocrisy. Spurs had a lot of breaks go there way that people don't even talk about or care to remember.
Because the Spurs didn't win the ring. No one gives a shyt about how much luck a team had on their way to not winning.
