O Neal said: Curry s existence will change the final result of their Timberwolves series

According to Chaitanya Dadwar, a contributor to US Sports F/W. The Golden State Warriors lost Game 5 in the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves and are now out of the NBA playoffs this season. The Warriors lost Stephen Curry to a left hamstring injury in Game 1 of the series and somehow never managed to recover since. After winning a shocking Game 1 at Minnesota, the Warriors lost four straight games in the series.

After their final loss in the series, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and other members of the "NBA Inside" person discussed whether Curry's absence would have an impact on the outcome of the series. Barkley expressed his views on the issue and claimed that the Timberwolves would still win the series if Curry came on.

When Ernie Johnson asked Curry if he would play and the Warriors would win the series, Barkley stressed: "No." There may not be five games, but Barkley believes the Timberwolves will win the series regardless of Curry's health. However, Shaq and Kenny immediately interrupted Barkley's response.

Kenny Smith said: "I think it's very feasible because the way everyone defends Stephen Curry in the playoffs makes things so easy. It means I don't care where the ball is, I'm just going to be with Stephen. So that allows other people to burst out in the game or even take over the game." It's an unusual defense.

When Barkley questioned Kenny's response, he also pointed out that the Timberwolves had been defending Curry in the same way until he was injured. Shaquille O'Neal then jumped out to defend Curry after Barkley made a wrong prediction for the series. "Stephen is the only dynamic player who can take over the game. Now he's his old "Stephen" in the playoffs, and Houston has done this tricky defense and he has to be a regular player. But to answer Ernie's question, if he's healthy, he can give you a game 30-40-50, which can change the series. So answer your question, I think if he's healthy, they can definitely win this series."

Earlier in this part of "Inside the NBA", Barkley said the Warriors worked with Curry, Green and Butler for the next two seasons. However, in Game 5, the two young Warriors stars proved that their future is not as dependent on the Big Three as the media seems.

Podjemsky scored a career-high 28 points in the game, with the veterans struggling on both sides of the offense and defense. Another highlight of the Warriors, Kumin was second among all scorers with 26 points. While the Warriors' front desk is reportedly satisfied with Sister Bo, Kumingga's future with the team remains a continuing issue until he signs a renewal or is traded. This game is undoubtedly the statement of these young stars, and the Warriors still have some hope for the future.

However, a new report says there is a conflict within the Warriors after Cole was dissatisfied with the way Kumingga treated Curry in the regular season. So while Sister Bo is still guaranteed for the future of the Warriors, if management decides to get rid of him now, Cumingga may have played his last game as the Warriors.
