    I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for the playoffs. Maybe he'll test it for a quarter, but a sprained knee is nothing to mess with. Which bring us to the question, is Curry really the league's MVP? They don't look any worse without him.

    He's almost back to full health. Why would he miss the playoffs?

    That's just what they're telling us. Who knows how he'll feel when he starts racing around guarding Dame or Aminu.

    How likely is it that Curry won't be playing at 100% the first couple games he's back?

    Exactly. "healthy" and "healthy to play NBA basketball" are two different things.

    I wouldn't play him this series unless the Blazers win a game. It would be idiotic to rush him back for nothing.

    This. They're only keeping him out because they believe they can win the series against Portland without him, also gives him a little more rest before WCF. If Portland had won game 2 there is no doubt in my kind he would be playing tonight.

    I really think Portland will take at least one of these games at home. They were close Wednesday night. Heck, if we can tie it and Curry doesn't return, anything could happen.

    Let's try that again with a few less grammatical errors:

    He's just out because he's playing us, trust me. They're up 2-0. Why not rest him more? They're going to beat us anyway.

    Nope. Even at a higher grade level, this post is still stupid.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Once he's healthy and not at risk at re-aggravating it, they should play him, because they need a non-rusty Curry for Game 1 against (most likely) San Antonio. A Curry's who been off for around three weeks (when the next round starts) is not going to play at his usual level, no matter how healthy he is.

    Obviously, they shouldn't rush him back and it doesn't sound like they plan to, but they also shouldn't hold him out more than his knee requires.

    If he doesn't suffer any setbacks, I'd expect him to play Game 4, whether or not they win Game 3.
