For the first time in quite a while, Stephen Curry and his Golden State Warriors failed to reach the postseason. Still, the three-time champion says he's watching the playoffs “as a fan,” expecting a few upsets.

As part of a recent interview with Marc Stein of The New York Times, Curry was asked to predict which two teams would advance to the NBA Finals. So far, the playoffs have seen a pair of first round upsets: the Los Angeles Lakers' loss to the Trail Blazers and the Milwaukee Bucks' loss to the Orlando Magic.

Curry was reluctant to give a prediction, but he did note that these playoffs are ripe for an upset:

Curry and the Warriors finished the 2019-20 season with a league-worst 15-50 record. Injuries played a role in that mark, including those to Curry and Klay Thompson. In Thompson's case, it's been nearly a year and a half of recovery after an ACL injury, but the former 11th overall pick should be good to go for next season.

Like Curry, Warriors All-Star Draymond Green was asked to make a prediction for this year's playoffs. Interestingly enough, he chose the Lakers as the favorite.

Will the Lakers manage to bounce back after a poor showing in Game 1? And what about the Bucks, who finished with the best record in the league this season? Will they be upset by the 8th-seeded Orlando Magic?

Golden State will surely be looking to rebound next season. For now, though, Curry and his teammates will watch as the rest of this campaign unfolds.
