OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors had big off-season plans for Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut. It looks as if theyre going to need a new blueprint now. Curry and Bogut are each headed for another surgery on their injured ankles, casting a shadow over the future of Golden States new franchise tandem. General manager Larry Riley said Saturday that arthroscopic surgery on Currys troublesome right ankle will be "exploratory" to see if a more serious operation is needed again. He called the scope on Boguts fractured left ankle to clean up loose particles "routine" and ruled out any possibility the 7-foot centre would play for Australias Olympic team this summer. Curry had surgery to repair a tendon in his ankle last summer. He repeatedly sprained the ankle this season while playing only 26 games, the last coming against Dallas on March 10. "Its an important part of the process," Golden State coach Mark Jackson said before Saturday nights game in Houston. "The main thing is to have those guys at 100 per cent, and if this is the part that needs to be done today, then put them in that position and so be it. Im happy that were getting closer to that point." Jackson would not give a timetable for either players expected recovery. "(Im) excited that this part is taking place," Jackson said, "and were moving towards those guys being healthy." Curry said recently he would do everything possible to avoid another surgery. After consulting with at least three different doctors, Riley said Curry, his family, agent and the team agreed it was best for the franchise point guard and former Davidson star to go back under the knife. "The MRIs are conclusive to some degree, and not totally conclusive," Riley said. "The advice of the doctors is we will know best if we do the scope and take a look at it and see if anything needs to be done from there." Boguts operation seems far less serious. Riley said there "appears to be some small, very small loose particles and even possibly some scar tissue, which can be cleaned out with a scope." Bogut, acquired in a trade that sent leading scorer Monta Ellis to Milwaukee on March 13, could be back to basketball activities as soon as six weeks. "I characterize it as something that is as much a preventive thing than anything else," Riley said of Boguts surgery. Both operations will be done by Dr. Richard Ferkel in the Los Angeles suburb of Van Nuys, with Curry scheduled for Wednesday and Bogut on Friday. At least one member of the Warriors medical staff will be involved in the surgery process, the team said. "I am very disappointed to announce my withdrawal from the 2012 Olympic Games," Bogut wrote on Twitter. "After seeing a specialist I have decided it would be best to get my ankle cleaned out via arthroscopic surgery. There is simply not enough time to rehab and be fully fit for the Games." The Warriors, who had promised the playoffs before the season, are back to preaching patience. Golden State has gone all-in on a Curry-led backcourt, parting ways with a fan favourite -- and top scorer -- when the team sent Ellis to the Bucks in a move that netted Bogut, who already had been ruled out for the season after fracturing his left ankle Jan. 25 against Houston. The Warriors have lost a season-high seven straight and 19 of 23 heading into Saturday nights game at Houston. Jackson has never really had a chance to show what he could do this season, with injuries gutting Golden State from the start. That has become a tired act for Warriors fans -- still amazingly among the NBAs most loyal bases in the basketball-booming Bay Area despite only one playoff appearance since 1994 -- who now have to suffer through the latest injury setbacks. Curry averaged career lows of 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds. Selected seventh overall in 2009 by Golden State, his career has been blended with incredible scoring efforts and confounding injuries on an ankle nobody can seem to fix. Curry even went to Nike headquarters in Oregon at one point this season to get a custom-fitted shoe for his right foot. He also vowed to wear a brace next season -- something he had previously resisted -- and be more forthcoming to the team on any injuries to his ankle. Complicating matters even more, Curry is eligible for a contract extension this summer. He is finishing the third season of his four-year rookie deal, and Golden State can sign Curry to an extension by Oct. 31. Riley remained mum on those talks, however, it seems unlikely either side would do a deal before next season with the ongoing injury raising concerns for Golden State and driving down Currys worth. Boguts career has followed a similar path. The 2005 No. 1 overall pick missed the end of the 2009-10 season when he dislocated his right elbow, sprained his right wrist and broke his right hand in a hard fall to the floor. The injury bothered him for much of last season. He also missed significant time with an injured lower back in the 2008-09 season. When Bogut has played, he has played well. In 408 career games, he is averaging 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots. Golden State has long lacked an inside presence, and the team is counting on the 27-year-old Australian to anchor the team back to the playoffs. Jerseys NFL Cheap . The Phillies got him seven.

And thats exactly what the Miami Heat expect the Oklahoma City Thunder to bring into Game 3 of this years NBA Finals. So far, this championship series has followed the same script as a year ago, with the home team winning the opening matchup, then falling in Game 2 to lose the home-court edge. Miami took the sting of that into Dallas last year and used it as fuel to win Game 3 -- and the Heat will look to ensure that trend doesnt repeat itself when the title matchup resumes on their home floor Sunday night. "Youve got the two best teams in the league right now going against each other," Wade said Saturday, when practices resumed after a day off for both clubs. "So its going to be a very tough game, but we have to find a way to win it. And its about taking, like I said, one possession at a time, one second, one minute at a time to make sure we reach our goal -- and thats to win the game." A Game 3 victory assures nothing, a lesson the Heat learned the hard way last year. That win in Dallas was Miamis final victory of the season. But there are certain truths that will come from the outcome Sunday night. The winner will have home-court advantage. The winner will be two games away from a championship. And the losing club will see what appears to be an already razor-thin margin for error in this series become even more precarious. "We have no other choice," said Thunder star Kevin Durant, the leagues scoring champion. "We lost at home. Tough loss. Weve got to get over it, get ready for a tough Game 3. You know, the series is going to be tough. We know that. We know that. Youve just got to be ready. Its going to be a fun one." By now, the Heat arent shy to say theyre completely exhausted about dissecting what went wrong in last years finals. Still, they know the importance of not letting one loss turn into another -- because when that happened against the Mavericks a year ago, there was a parade in Dallas not long afterward. "I dont know if we were any more motivated in Game 2," Erik Spoelstra said. "What we were was angry about our performance in Game 1. ... You want to throw your best punches out there, and may the best team win. We didnt throw our best punches in Game 1." Add up the numbers from the first two gamees of the series, and it turns into something close to a statistical dead heat.dddddddddddd Both teams are shooting 47 per cent. Both have made 14 tries from 3-point range (though Miami is shooting a better percentage). The Thunder have grabbed four more rebounds, the Heat whistled for two more fouls. The Thunder outscored Miami by 16 points in the paint during their Game 1 win; the Heat outscored the Thunder by 16 points in the paint during their victory in Game 2. Of course, the only stat that really matters is the one thats identical: one win each, headed into Sunday. And if the young Thunder were supposed to be rattled by losing the home-court edge, no one told them. "We have all the right pieces, from the best scorer in the league, most athletic point guard in the league to the best shot blocker to the best post defender, best wing defender and our bench is one of the best," James Harden said. "This is a perfect team. We are young guns. We get it done. It has to start in Game 3." Even their young-looking coach doesnt sound worried about the stakes the Thunder will face. "Ive seen all year long a group thats always committed, that always sticks by one another, that believes in the work that we put in," Scott Brooks said. "And thats who they are. Its not going to change. Theyve always had great ability to bounce back after a tough loss and we expect the guys to come back (Sunday) night with better effort, better play and for 48 minutes." The Heat expect the same. Its no secret that falling short last year has been a source of inspiration throughout this season for James and the Heat, and that continues even now. And for James, one trend from last year is gone. In Game 2, he did what he was criticized for not doing against the Mavs -- he closed the game, coming through twice in a one-possession situation. His bank shot with 1:26 left pushed Miamis lead to five, and his two free throws with 7.1 seconds remaining sealed Miamis 100-96 win. "Im enjoying it," James said. "Im having fun with these first two games. I mean, this is a great opportunity for myself and for our team, for both teams. Its a lot of fun being out there and competing at a high level, you know, the intense moment where every possession counts. Thats what its all about. As a competitor you have to enjoy these moments and you love these moments." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
