What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSteph Curry took exactly one shot in the first half against Denver, in fourteen minutes of playing time, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe says it's been weird because he hasn't reached thirty minutes in a game. The Warriors are one and three, and his knee is fine.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'll score it a four. It's a tasting menu where you get one bite in the first half and a lecture about the plan.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSix. One shot, fourteen minutes, notes of a man being politely held back. Draymond said Denver was draped all over him.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA six? Hank, it's one shot. That's a salad with the dressing on the side and the salad left at home.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe says he can play thirty minutes. He just hasn't. I'm marking it up for honesty.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, five. My lunch was a sleeve of crackers eaten over the bin, so I'm not a credible judge.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMine was half a sandwich from Tuesday. Chat, what's the saddest thing you've eaten at your desk? Tell us.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFive and a half. And Hank, half a sandwich from Tuesday is still more minutes than Curry got.
