There has been an empty hole in the absence of Golden State Warriors' superstar Stephen Curry.
Curry has been out since suffering a hamstring strain in the first half of Game 1 of the series between the Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round.
It's been a natural problem as Curry is one of those players that really aren't replaceable and the Warriors have lost both games that the franchise star has been absent in.

Players and coaches have taken interviews leading up to Game 4 between the two teams and questions have been asked about Curry's presence on the court.
As there are plenty of players on the Warriors with the sharpshooting ability, guard Buddy Hield spoke with the press on Sunday in regard to Curry and his presence.
"Nobody is able to cover for Steph Curry and what he does. If you coming in thinking you can fill his role, you're crazy, he does so much for his team. He's touched by an angel, he's touched by God, he's blessed," Hield said when speaking on his teammate.
Hield's been able to step up his game in the second round, averaging 17.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 52% from three in the series against the Timberwolves.

But when such an impactful player like Curry is taken out of the game, there's only ways to adjust rather than replacing.
The earliest we may see Curry come back from his hamstring strain will be in Game 6, but even with a timeline like that it's hard to tell if he will be returning in full strength.
The absence of Curry has been evident, as his averages this postseason include 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists.
Game 4 between the Warriors and Timberwolves will be on Monday, May 12.
