Mini-thread:
I went back and watched as many of the Celtics defensive possessions against Stephen Curry as I could.
Yes, Boston is dropping. Yes, it seems crazy. But what Boston doesn’t want is the ball pinging around and back to Curry for a wide-open catch-&-shoot three.

Steph Curry has now sprained his left foot twice. He couldn’t run on it the first time and immediately exited the game. Last night, he played a handful of possessions on it. It’s part of why he knows it is less serious.

Stephen Curry says he’s playing in Game 4 on Friday. He won’t be 100 percent. Or 90 percent. Maybe not 80 percent. But most of him gives the Warriors a chance to get back into the series. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio… – 5:39 PM Sirius XM NBA @SiriusXMNBA

Stephen Curry asked if this was a regular season game and if he’d sit out: “Hmm…that’s a good question. It depends on where we are at in the season. I don’t really know how to answer that, because the context matters.” – 2:48 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Curry said because this foot injury is similar to what happened near the end of the season, he had a good idea of what to expect pain-wise & what to do treatment-wise.
“There’s comfort knowing I’ve been here before, but obviously would rather I don’t have to deal with it.” – 2:46 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

Stephen Curry arrives to TD Garden walking better than he did after last night’s Game 3 loss. He didn’t have much of a limp at all. The expectation is that the two-time MVP will be in uniform for Game 4 on Friday. – 2:05 PM Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1
After 70 years, NBA legislated against defenders giving no room 4 shooters 2 land, erasing untold injuries.

Quick whistle a must!! – 1:50 PM Joe Vardon @joevardon

Brian Robb: Game 4 officials: James Capers, Kane Fitzgerald, Eric Lewis -via Twitter @BrianTRobb / June 10, 2022 Connor Letourneau: Otto Porter Jr. is also good to go tonight. -via Twitter @Con_Chron / June 10, 2022 I love the commentary, but it seems like it would be a lot. You play a game, then you post up and you’re doing the pod … Draymond Green: It’s all business, you know? The way I view my podcast is that I’m operating a business. Like, you can’t get tired of operating your own business, or it fails. So, it’s something that I take as serious as I do basketball. And so, if I’m going to show up for the game, I show up for (the podcast), or it doesn’t work. -via The Athletic / June 10, 2022
