Uncertainty looms over the Golden State Warriors as several key players face injury setbacks, raising concerns about their championship defense. The biggest blow came with the news that Stephen Curry would be sidelined for at least three weeks, prompting speculation about the team’s postseason prospects.
Head coach Steve Kerr recently confirmed that Curry is unlikely to play in the first round of the playoffs. However, Curry quickly responded with optimism, insisting he aims to return as soon as possible. Not backing down, Kerr reiterated his belief today, stating that even without Curry, the Warriors are capable of beating any team in the league.
In a recent interview, Warriors owner Joe Lacob also shared his thoughts on a potential Western Conference Finals showdown between the Warriors and the Houston Rockets. His remarks offered a mix of respect and confidence: “If you worry too much about the Rockets, you might give them too much credit. They’re the best team in the league right now, no doubt. We respect them, but that doesn’t guarantee they’ll make it to the West Finals.”
American sports media have widely speculated that a clash between the Warriors and the Rockets could define this year’s Western Conference. Joe Lacob acknowledged the Rockets’ current dominance but reminded fans and analysts alike that postseason success isn’t guaranteed by regular-season records.
“We could be the ones in the West Finals — or maybe they won’t even make it,” Lacob remarked. “At the end of the day, you have to prove it on the court.”
Even amid setbacks, the Warriors still possess a formidable core. With Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins — often referred to as their modern “Big Four” — the team remains a powerhouse. Their chemistry, experience, and championship pedigree make them a serious threat to any opponent.
