    Up 24. It will be 3-0 after tonight. Both conference Finals might be a sweep for Cleveland and GS...

    There is NO WAY GS has the same success under M. Jackson...

    I agree. Kerr is an excellent coach. The guy knows exactly how to find the perfect role for every player on his team. And everyone is buying into the system. Bogut is normally a very solid offensive center. But here, he plays mostly D and makes passes. He developed into a beastly shot blocker too. Iggy has never come off the bench. But now he does that and is amazing in that role. Now he scores much less, but is more successful as a basketball player, because there is less pressure on him, and he can be a defensive stopper at three positions.

    This is a team game, and Kerr knows it. He was the ultimate role-player, after all.

    Agreed. I can't wait until we get good again. Then maybe we could get a coach like Kerr :)

    Warriors have been a joy to watch all season. Kerr has done a great job in his first year coaching, The Logo has done a great job building this team. Steph makes this game look so easy, Green is a huge X factor in every game, their defense is top notch, their offense is even deadlier. I have grown into a "Lakers North" fan this season. It's really hard not to like them.

    Unfortunately for the Warriors, Barnes has been useless today.

    Klay is playing some seriously good D today. To compensate for the horrific shooting. I think defending Harden prevents him to get any kind of offensive rhythm.

    Well, this is why it's good to be a two-way player, right?

    You know, Houston's problem is that they are trying to go small. You can't play small against the Warriors. No one can do that. The old PHX team probably could, but not the Rockets. Imagine Phil with his recent Lakers team: he would go big. Play Odom, Pau, Bynum... pound it inside.

    When warriors go small they are still pretty long. At every position.

    Now that would be a matchup I would LOVE to see. 06-07 PHX vs this GS squad.

    The Warriors are Houston's worst nightmare. They are made to beat them. 7-0 this year.
