The Warriors VS Timberwolves in the second round of the NBA playoffs was originally a even-match series, but with Curry's injury and quit, all this changed. The Warriors lacking Curry obviously lacked offensive firepower and have been scored for two consecutive games by the Timberwolves. If Curry still cannot come back for a long time, the Warriors are likely to stop in the second round.

Recently, ESPN also updated the probability of winning the championship of each team. It is worth mentioning that the probability of winning the championship of the Warriors after Curry was injured has dropped rapidly, and it is currently the last among the eight teams in the playoffs! Before Curry was injured, the Warriors' chances of winning the championship have remained in the top four in the league for a long time since the playoffs. It has to be said that Curry's absence has had a great impact on the Warriors! In terms of personal data, Curry averaged 32.7 minutes per game in the regular season this season, contributing 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.1 steals, and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%. He averaged 35 minutes per game in the playoffs, contributing 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1 steal, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40%! Although Curry's data this season has shrunk compared with previous years, it seems that the Warriors' dependence on Curry has increased instead of falling.

Not to mention whether Curry can continue to have a good offensive feel on the court. As long as the Warriors stand on the field when attacking, he can attract opponents to come and double-team, thus creating a lot of opportunities for his teammates. During the period when Curry was away, the second leader Butler obviously could not take over Curry's heavy responsibility, and his offensive stability and ability to drive teammates were far less than Curry. In a word, whether there are Curry’s Warriors are completely two different teams!
