Warriors believe that rockets aim at Stephen Curry's thumb injury during the playoffs: “I find it quite obvious”

It was the perfect time for the Broadcast team to mention the strategy of the Rockets. After Curry released the ball, Rockets striker Dillon Brooks seemed to swing his hand to meet Curry's injured hand. Curry fell to the ground. When he got up, he seemed to argue with the referees about Brooks' Possen. It may not have led to a foul, but Curry made the officials aware that he had the feeling.

Curry ended with 13 points in loss and went 4 against 12 against 12.

When asked about the situation after the game, Curry played her down and said that the injury was “something I have to deal with.” He refused to make a big deal out of Houston's strategy and added: “If it is a foul, you should call it.”

Warriors coach Steve Kerr and striker Draymond Green were better with their thoughts. Green said that the strategy of rockets was “quite obvious, but it is” Green “added.” I am not the one who cries to them what the league should do. “

Kerr said that the rockets wiped over Curry's injured thumb are within the rules in accordance with ESPN.

“So the rule is as soon as the shot has been published, you can beat a man's arm,” said Kerr. “And what happened in the league this year are always the players, they will outsmart the rules. They know what they do. After publication, the players in the whole league only make shots in the hands of the people because they know that it will not be a foul.”

Kerr said he was confident that the league would change the rule to prevent the players from being injured. He added how the current rule was written was “the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Brooks was asked if he was aiming against Curry's breasts of injuries and answered the question like a super villain.

“I played the game.”

“If [someone] Had an injured ankle, I would attack this ankle every time, “said Brooks.” So whatever you say on the show, you can keep saying it. “

Brooks did not contest the strategy. Since it is technically not a punishment, Brooks should have no effect on his comments. In view of the fact that the problem came to light after the Warriors lost in game 5, the officials will start calling fouls if they have the feeling that wiping becomes outrageous.

While Curry did not have a great shooting night in game 5, the thumb injury did not prevent him from granting strong numbers in the entire series. In the first four games, Curry scored an average of 26 points and 6 templates against the Rockets.

Despite the defeat on Wednesday, the Warriors still have a 3-2 lead in the series. Curry will have a day to rest his sick thumb before the warriors take the place for game 6 on Friday.
