Not sure why Kidd is turning to Ntilikina so much today.

Luka finally having a bad elimination game for once. Hes been absolutely spectacular in every one hes been in before this. He was averaging like 36/10/9 or something absurd. It was bound to cool down and here it is. That was an elimination game Harden performance from him sad to see

Warriors will close this one out and almost certainly face the Celtics. Think they (Warriors) are gonna be big favorites here, Celtics just don't have the offense to keep up in 4 games, Dubs defense will eat them alive.

Any Poy vote that doesnt have Jokic/Giannis as top 2 in whatever order is wrong and should be void

this is like 04 when Kg and Timmy were on their own tier ahead of everyone

As a team they dont force turnovers. Teams like that just have such little margin in playoff games.

Mavs need to figure out something with their rebounding going into next season. They got absolutely bodied all series long.

Kerr Warriors now 18-0 in Western Conference playoff series. It's really something.

I do think though the Celtics have a good case as favorites over them. I think Boston's been the team that's played the best over the course of the year, and it's not hard to imagine their defense proving exceptional against the Warriors' eccentric offense.

On the other hand, Warriors looked excellent against the Mavs and I certainly have more confidence that the Warriors are going have tricks up their sleeve like veterans often do.

fwiw, I love Luka's sneaky arsenal of weird, trick shots that he seems uncannily comfortable shooting in appropriate weird situations.

Yup, that's the goal of Kerr's philosophy, and I think this team embodies that philosophy even more than the earlier Warrior teams.

Really happy for klay. Can't imagine how he's feeling after everything he had to go through to get back to this point.

One reason I still generally appreciate the Warriors is how relatively home grown the Warriors are. Nearly all draftees or vet min guys, Wiggins the only exception I think?
