My journal:

… We still weren’t playing our best and we were only up by 5. 9 minutes left. And Stephen Curry drove to the basket. And he fell to the ground out of bounds, rolling over and over and covering his face with his hands.

No. Nonononononono NO.

This does not happen. Stephen Curry always gets up.

Everyone gasped and moaned and the effing camera just stayed on him, stayed on OUR BOY, with tears in his eyes from the pain. He was down for several minutes and they KEPT SHOWING THE FRICKING REPLAY OF HOW HE FELL IN SLOW MOTION OVER AND OVER!! Everyone had immediately pulled out their cell phones as they kept announcing “National POY candidate, leading scorer Steph Curry is injured—” (SHUT THE HELL UP, ANNOUNCERS!) and I just felt so scared and confused. Like the thing we’ve been dreading has finally happened—but NO, it can’t happen! And Dad was saying how he’d miss at least a week and AHHHHH —

I have to say, though with all my heart I do not want Steph missing ANY games, the boys stepped up BIG without him. We won by 15. And they kept showing Steph sitting on the bench and most of the time he looked very stoic but at one point he was actually smiling and laughing and David called out “That’s our boy!”
