When Steve Kerr announced that Steph Curry could miss the first-round of the NBA playoffs because of a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee, the thought was that Warriors could have some issues in the first-round of the Western Conference Playoffs.
If the playoffs were to start today, the Warriors would play OKC in the first-round. That would be a difficult match-up with Curry in the lineup, but without Curry, this series becomes even more interesting.
However, FS1’s Skip Bayless believes the Warriors are still the favorite to win an NBA title, even without Curry.
Here is what Bayless had to say on FS1’s Undisputed today:

Now, I think the Warriors could beat OKC without Curry, but they can’t beat Houston without Curry. Therefore, if the Warriors want to repeat, they need Curry.
