Why the hell was he even checking in for a minute or two in the All-Star game? Uggh. We'll see what Holiday can bring under Paul's tutelage, and hopefully Payne's return is right around the corner. I have no faith in Elf doing anything consistently well.

Since we all know about this, can we delete this thread from existence? It hurts my eyes just seeing it repeatedly when I come to this page.

@Russ Smith Barring a disastrous second half of the season—if you wanna’ call it the second half —there’s no way Phoenix loses the number one seed while Paul is out.

Even if Phx…

plays .500 ball w/out Paul the Dubs would need to go 18-5 to catch them.

Looking at Suns next 5 games, I don’t see any reason why they don’t go for 4-1.

The Dubs have to worry about staving off Memphis.

The Warriors must get the number two seed.

That way they can host all non-suns playoff games and stay that way if Phoenix loses a series.

If GSW get the three or the four seed, I don’t see them making the WCF.

And, it doesn’t really sound like Draymond Green is gonna’ come back before the regular season is over.

The last part is the key to me. Kuminga has come on and Wiseman is coming back but if they don't get Draymond back soon enough in shape it doesn't matter. The Warriors can't win the West without Draymond, Phoenix is too good as is Memphis and some others.

With Draymond healthy I feel the Warriors are as good as anybody, with him back but subpar a chance, without him no chance just not big enough and the defense won't be good enough.

does anyone know precisely what an Avulsion fracture is? never heard this term before. sounds like it just needs to be protected and it will heal on its own.

He will explain it better than I can.

On a positive note, he is on the bench and appears to lack either a cast or brace.
