Alright, so here we are again. Stephen Curry, looking like he’s about to break every scoring record in sight, and Dillon Brooks, well, still doing Dillon Brooks things. But this time, the stakes are higher—way higher. In Game 5 against the Rockets, Curry takes a three, flicks that wrist of his, and guess who’s there to give it a little love tap? Yup, Dillon Brooks. And no, he’s not there to high-five him, he’s swiping at that already-injured right thumb like he’s trying to swat a fly.
Now let’s talk about Curry’s reaction for a second. He’s not one to exaggerate pain—but that subtle hand shake? That wasn’t just a casual “I’m good” gesture. You could feel the frustration. Steph’s been managing a thumb injury for weeks, and here comes Dillon Brooks—never one to dial it down—going straight for the problem area. If you’re a Warriors fan, that’s a major red flag.
Even the Warriors broadcasters couldn’t ignore it, pointing out, “Steph launches, and then it’s let me [Brooks] whack your right hand.” Curry’s 3-of-9 shooting in the first half didn’t just happen—credit the relentless physicality from both Amen Thompson and Brooks for throwing him off rhythm.
This is a developing story…
