Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors wonderboy Stephen Curry will certainly either make or break the Dubs season. It really boils down to his health, more specifically, that worrisome right ankle. Curry played just 51 games last season, the second fewest of his career.

We know the skill is there. Opening night he put up 32 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds. Those types of numbers are MVP worthy, yet if he can’t stay healthy and play over 60 games, there’s no way he competes for the honor.

There is two reasons to be hopeful this season though.

For starters, Curry told us earlier this offseason that this summer had been his best summer of preparation. Meaning, Curry should be healthy and fully recovered.

Secondly, the Dubs were 5-1 without Curry in the postseason last year, so even if Curry does miss time, the Dubs, then led by Durant, should still be a top contender in the deep Western Conference.

The league’s best point guard, if Curry stays healthy, it’s a foregone conclusion that the Dubs will be winning their third straight title, or at least we hope so.
