I would have liked to see more from Jimmy but remember he did hurt his pelvis in a pretty bad fall that he only took 1 game off for in the 1st round. I seriously doubt he is close to fully healed from that given it needs rest, not for him to fall on it again each game which is kinda his physical playstyle.

The Rockets squeezed the Warriors dry on their way out...

Gobert sending Doncic and Draymond on vacation is a thing of beauty

It was about the money first and foremost and Butler managed to get that.

He didn't really care about getting a ring. He wanted to go to Phoenix, remember?

So is Steph going to play in game 6?

Randle is like a good wine. He gets better with age.

Guy likes to pace himself during the regular season too. Which in the West, probably means absorbing extra losses. Gonna be hard to stay out of the play-in next year as well.

2 less games against the clips, nuggets, lakers, wolves and thunder sure would be nice :lol:

God I’d love to be in the east for a season or two to experience some semblance of success

$60 million dollars for Jimmy Butter
Taking only 11 shots in an elimination game
JImmy should have stayed in the East, the West is too competitive for him

:lol:

I like Randle verses OKC. He can body anyone on that roster. Must keep turnovers down tho.

Jimmy is washed. But he joined the Warriors to play second fiddle to Steph. He would have looked a lot better with Steph commanding all the defebsive attention.

We need NAW & donte to actually show up to have a chance vs. OKC.

It's possible but Ant, Randle and Jaden are going to need help. Both NAW and Donte have been pretty quiet so far

I trust our guys more than theirs. They talk a lot about OKC depth but I think our top 8 are better.

Yeah, OKC is definitely deeper. But, I also think its overstated when Isaiah Joe is only playing 9 minutes, Wiggins 13, etc.

As I said, Wolves in 5

If you knew that Curry would be out while Ant remained in, give me a call and I will show you how to use your foresight to make some real money. I mean, we will get RICH. But yes, your prediction turned out to be correct.

Back to back conference final appearances, even after a huge roster shake-up swapping KAT for Randle/Dante is something to be proud of.

Who wins Game 5?
