The Golden State Warriors are starting to look a little worn around the edges as January's doldrums close.
Their record, of course, is still tops in the NBA by several games, but the nightly injury report is starting to be a little more crowded than usual. Stephen Curry missed the Sunday night squeaker in Portland due to a stomach bug. Zaza Pachulia’s right shoulder is banged up. And David West continues to sit with a broken left thumb.
Now, James Michael McAdoo, JaVale McGee and rookie Patrick McCaw have become rotation regulars, and head coach Steve Kerr has had to be a tad more creative with how he shapes the second unit.
