Stephen Curry’s sure-fire message on Golden State’s playoff odds
Despite their turnaround campaign, Stephen Curry remained adamant that he was Golden State Warriors will be a tough match for anyone if they qualify for the playoffs.
The warriors seek to hold the fort as Curry is still sidelined with a knee injury. Although his MRI revealed no structural damage, the two-time MVP will remain out and will be reevaluated in 10 days, according to the Warriors.
The Warriors remain in eighth place in the team standings at 29-27 after Thursday’s loss to the Boston Celtics.
Jimmy Butler is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, while Kristaps Porzingis is still looking to adjust to the team after being acquired at the trade deadline from the Atlanta Hawks.
However, 37-year-old Curry did his full faith in Warriors.
“It’s been such a unique year, but as long as we can find a way to a playoff series, we feel like we’re tough for anybody at the top of the West,” Curry said in an interview with ESPN.
“With Porzingis here, hopefully, he’s healthy and able to be out there all the time because we know what he’s capable of doing.”

30 year old Porzingis made his Warriors debut against the Celtics, scoring 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting in 17 minutes off the bench.
The oft-injured star, coming off a long illness, could be the inside threat Golden State has been longing for. It also proved to be a reliable rim protector.
The Warriors still have a chance to avoid the playoffs, but they need an added sense of urgency to get more wins even without Curry.
