Their best rim protector, and a great defender in Bogut goes out for the series.

And Iguadola, their best defender against Lebron, messes up his back and is useless against Lebron. incidentally, this injury paved the way for Lebron’s famous chase-down block. A healthy Iguadola easily throws that down.

The Warriors had the clear advantage before their injuries and Draymond’s suspension.

Also, Curry had two different injuries to the same leg. Wasn’t close to the same player.

The injury luck cuts both ways.
