Stop bringing up regular season record and just look at how the current Warriors are playing in the playoffs. Frankly, I'm not that impressed. Pelicans almost had a shot for the first three games with the Warriors. The freakin' Pelicans! Warriors could not even dominate the Grizzlies when Tony Allen and Mike Conley were both on the court. Pelicans and Memphis are clearly not better than the Rockets, sure Grizzlies have superior perimeter defenders but they can't make threes to save their lives and their bigs are not as athletic and imposing as ours. I seriously think Clippers were more difficult match up for us than the current Warriors are. It sure ain't gonna be easy, but the media is making huge mistake by taking this series for granted, as usual. We'll see what happens.
That and mental toughness in playoffs. We have shown we are resilient bunch and accomplished the impossible. The Griz series the Warriors just had, to me, did not have the same intensity and adversity as the series we just had. Can they withstand us? Let's fight!
I think our biggest advantage is rebounding. I don't think there is a realistic way of matching their efficiency. They are just a machine. Our best chance is causing turnovers and getting offensive boards and getting 10-15 extra possessions a game.
You guys keep saying how good their shooting is. Let's just wait and see tomorrow. RS and playoff are two different things. I want to see how well they shoot when everything is contested. We were cutting our teeth against Griffin, DJ, Paul and others while they were playing old men don't jump Griz. t
