GS seemed pretty flat to me last night. I'd be surprised if they don't wrap it up at home in Game 5.

Gonna be a big Mavs fan tonight. I don't think they have a shot, but there's always hope!

Me too. I want at least a Game 6. Double overtime with intense physicality will be nice. Get GSW tired and banged up before the Finals.

The Finals will start on Thursday June 2, which means if we win Friday we'll have 5 full days off, and basically 6 days between games. That should help everyone get healthier and get Al some much needed rest. Just another reason to wrap it up Friday.

And there you have it -- GSW is in the Finals.
Let's see if we can enter our name for the East tomorrow night.

If we do our part and make it a Celtics/Warriors Finals it'll be a battle of a great offense against a great defense. While BOS can score and GS can defend, it's not what either team is known for.
One thing I keep hearing is that GS can be prone to turnovers, and with the pressure we put on teams, that could be the key to the whole series.

And what we got going on our side is Tatum, Jaylen and Smart have experience beating the Warriors on multiple occasions when they were the dominant force of the NBA. They know what it takes to beat such a skilled and cohesive team. |

Good article on GS since their last Finals appearance three years ago. www.theringer.com/2022/5/27/23144315/golden-state-warriors-game-5-nba-finals-klay-thompsonThis is my favorite part, a quote from Draymond: “We don’t chase wins during the regular season,” Green said. “We chase improvement during the regular season.” IMO that's exactly the right mentality. Now that we've turned the corner and figured out our winning formula, we need to spend next season bringing along the bench guys and especially the younger ones who have not peaked yet. |

Yep, that's exactly right.
That's why i'm not stressing if we lose tonight and are eliminated. We've got
a bright future. And Tatum, Jaylen, Rob, etc, are going to get better, as is Ime.
