    Warriors are going to buzzsaw through the first 2 rounds and be rested for the WCF's.

    Anyone else wondering who is going to be matched up with Davis? Bogut will be on Asik and he's not quick enough anyway. Draymond? Lee? Iggy? I think Davis has too much length for them. Speights and Festus possibly? Will be interesting...the Pels have talent and will play hard. I would rather watch this series than the Blazers/Grizz all day.

    If it was 2-3-2 I'd say the Pels would take it to 6
    but 2-2-1-1-1 means that Golden State will win it at home

    This could be a verygood series. There isn't anyone on The Warriors who can play AD and Reke will give Curry. Fits on the defensive side of the ball

    For those of you who haven't watched many Pels games this year, get ready to be frustrated at how little of the offense actually goes through Davis.

    It's pathetic really.

    Yes this. Get ready for Evans to try to 1v5 the GSW to show hes a superstar.

    Pelicans in 7. They will take this game personal

    They will put Green on Davis. Draymond thinks he is the defensive player of the year in the NBA, and all the Bay Area media has been feeding him this line for months.

    Either way, it doesn't matter much. Warriors in 5, sad to say.

    Pells in 7. Davis does things we would never dream of him doing. He will make the Harden/Curry debate moot. Boom.

    Warriors are in for a rude awakening in Anthony Davis. He will obliterate them in this series and nobody will stop him. Pelicans will upset the Warriors. Pelicans in 7!

    Warriors are going to win this series, but I think it'll turn out to be a blessing in disguise that they didn't face OKC in the 1st round. NO will actually challenge them and give them some good competition before losing and this will help GSW later in the playoffs.

    Pop is counting on this. Better for AD to wear out the warriors (potential WC finals opponent) by taking it to seven, rather than having a crippled Thunder being swept.

    How fitting that Warriors have the same number of wins as Dallas in 07 when they beat them as the 8 seed. Could the shoe be on the other foot this series after they added fuel to the fire with the scrimmage comment?

    Really don't know what to expect with this one. Hoping that AD goes nuts and that GS finds themselves in a dogfight after taking the Pels lightly.
