    GS seems to bring out the best of PJ. I hope he is in “psycho” mode all series. It’s not just Durant. He intimidates Steph and Klay as well. I can’t wait!!!

    Cant play with that intensity all game else Tucker will be bricking his 3s on the other end.

    Has to pick his spots, throw Durant off, and keep him guessing.

    Only way durant winning that matchup is when refs coming to save his ass. Skinny snake got nothing on that thicc tucker.

    I don’t think there is much we can do on KD. He is so locked in now that people called him out for letting Beverly “lock him up” the first couple games.

    James is going to have to have a monster series. It’s strange the warriors are the favorite yet somehow it feels like more pressure on harden.

    This match-up is where we will miss Ariza the most. I think out of all our players, he was the most ideal to stick on Durant and live with it. Without him, it'll be a platoon defense of much smaller guys that Durant can easily shoot over.

    That PJ clip is nice, but I remember plays last year where PJ was playing textbook D on durant but he was simply too short to really bother kd.

    The key to beating the Warriors is letting Durant try to score 50.
