Well, that was as ugly as all get out. Not that any of us were itching for a reminder, but the Golden State Warriors emphatically made sure we are all keenly aware of Steph Curry’s importance, losing 112-86 to the Miami Heat in his absence. The Warriors had a tremendously poor shooting game, while the Heat had a historically great one. Not a good recipe for success.
It’s time to begrudgingly grade the players who struggled up one side and down the other. As always, grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade representing the average performance for each player.
