The Warriors might not lose either of their next two games Jorge Soler Jersey against the Thunder. Their season might not end after 82wins instead of 89.But ... it probably will, right? It's tough to watch any bit of Games 3 and 4, both OKC victories that were sealed in the first half, and think Golden State has anything approaching an even shot athandling itsbusine s. When Steven Adams has that much time to get his feet set in the pocket and look off your safeties, things aren't going your way.MORE: | So, if theWarriors get dumped and again, they probably will the time for excuses will be upon us. Here are seven they and their fans should definitely, totally, absolutely not use.1. Stephen Curry is hurt, probably.There's validity to this one. Curry looked far from himself in the last two games. Sprained MCLs don't just go away after two weeks, and a healthy version of the MVP doesn't have one game where he makes le s than 10 shots from the field, let alone four consecutive. He was particularly , going 6-of-20 overall and 3-of-11 from 3.So, it makes sense that we learned on Wednesday morning, via a Curry source , that he's "70 percent at best." He looks it.MORE: Still he's out there. He's playing. He's drawing defensive attention. And, most of all, he's been great at times post-injury. A sprained knee doesn't directly cause pa ses into the stands.Lots of people were spitballinga couple weeks ago about whether the Warriors could win the conference with Curry at zero percent. Seventypercent should be enough, if nothing else, to prevent this, right?2. Draymond Greenis too small.UsingGreen's relative height compared to Kevin Durant, Homer Bailey Jersey Adams,Serge Ibaka and Enes Kantermade sense a couple days ago; it's much simplerto .Now, though, Green has put together back-to-back horrific games. After avoiding a suspension for Game 4, Green was minus-30 and 1-for-7 with six turnovers.OKC's bigs have been undeniablygood,but Green is better. Most of all, though, for as bad as he was in Game 4, he didn't look like himself even when he's not shooting well, Green brings something to the table.MORE: On Tuesday, he was particularly lost. Maybe it's an Danny Duffy Jersey i sue of confidence, or he's playing tentative because he's scared of a suspension(), but OKC's length is far down the list.3. They're very tired.Nobody wants to hear that. Golden State chose to make an honest run at 73 wins, and the league is better for it, but did having to play a couple extra full-effort games in April cause the wheels to come off in May?4. They don't know how to lose.You should give them a little more credit for mental toughne s than that. If they're strong enough to handle every team's best shot on a nightly basis for six months, they're strong enough to bounce back from a particularly tough lo s. Steve Kerr is the coach of the year for a reason; if you think he deserves it, he wascapable of prepping them on an emotional level for Game 4MORE: 5. Dion Waitersdoesnt count.It'd be tempting to write off Waiters (three games with double digits off the bench) as a soulle s gunner who's finally getting lucky. It'd also be wrong.Like Scott Rafferty , Waiters has made an obvious effort to do more than barf up long 2s and serve as comic relief. He's shooting le s, and taking a higher Burch Smith Jersey percentage of those shots at the rim and from behind the arc. He's pa sing when guys collapse on him, rather than embarra sing himself. He's helping out on defense. Dion Waiters is playing well, and the Warriors need to answer for it, rather than a suming that he'll stop and then, post hoc, writing it off as someone getting hot at the right time.6. The Clippers gothurt.This might be the funniest excuse that, without a doubt, will be used somewhere: Chris Paul broke his hand, Blake Griffin tore his patella, and the Warriors were robbed of a true test in the second round.It'll probably come from the same sort of person who'd say in the next breaththat the Warriors are too run down from the regular season.7. OKC doesn't properly appreciate genius.The Warriors exist on a different plane than the rest of the NBA; .Weve crushed (other teams)on the basketball court, and were going to for years because of the way weve built this team. Were light-years ahead of probably every other team in structure, in planning, Paulo Orlando Jersey in how were going to go about things.Golden State is 15-7 since Lacob said that, and a bunch more, to The New York Times. Blaming a lo s to the Thunder on The Joe Lacob Curse would have some validity. Staying in line with his train of thought dismi sing the Thunder's style asretrograde,'90s-style and unappreciative of the Warriors' disruptive nature would not.MORE: OKC is different, but they're good. In fact, theymight be better. That's the biggest reason the Warriors are where they are. It's not an excuse it's an explanation. And if the series holds form,it should be the first set of words thatWarriors fans bother to say.
