The Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors face elimination on the road during their Game 5 Western Conference semifinal showdown against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, May 14. Despite the team’s struggles without its superstar point guard,

After the Golden State Warriors’ 117-110 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4, head coach Steve Kerr discussed his, Jimmy Butler, and the rest of his team’s reality in All-Star Stephen Curry’s absence.

Steve Kerr knows the Warriors’ biggest challenge with Steph ... claim they are not ‘desperate’ after wasting vintage ‘Playoff Jimmy’ performance Why Warriors’ shooting woes are exacerbated without Steph Curry Curry-less Warriors squander ...

Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors had a chance to steal a big win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3. They were in striking distance of taking the game, but could not make the necessary plays down the stretch without Stephen Curry on the floor.

Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler contradicted his coach Steve Kerr’s earlier take that he and Jonathan Kuminga can’t play together. In Game 3, Butler and Kuminga combined for 63 points as the unlikely duo nearly led the Warriors to a much-needed win but ultimately fell short.

Prior to suffering a season-ending ACL injury, the veteran guard averaged 10.3 points with 3.3 boards and 2.8 assists in six games with the Warriors.

Yes, instead of Eric Paschall, Mychal Mulder, and Marquese Chriss, the Warriors had a hobbled, not-even-close-to-100-percent, and kinda-going-through-the-motions Jimmy Butler, a frustrated and ejectable Draymond Green (a hallmark of the 2019-2020 season), a struggling Brandin Podziemski, and, once again, Braxton Key.

With Curry on the court, the Warriors might be contenders in these playoffs. Without him, they're starved and staring at an early exit.
