Obviously very consequential, was the difference between another WCF and a second round loss. Maybe we get in a better rhythm for the Warriors by playing someone else in the second round, who knows.
Rockets win against OKC is not guaranteed.... and by no means cakewalk. It took some real clutch shooting from Lillard and ample support from CJ.
That game gave us a wake-up call that we choke in the closing minutes... it was a rehearsal of the pressure time choking... and we didn't learn anything.
Sure... but I don't find that consequential, which is why I said I guess. Or... truth be told, the consequence of it is that it's more embarrassing than it otherwise would be.... WHICH IS GREAT! For those of us that were pro 4th seed, at least for me, it was to (i) meet GSW healthy, and (ii) if losing then, at least be crystal clear, this team isn't there. Sounds like they want to "run it back again" already. But we all at least know that's moronic at this point.
