    No way GS loses today. This will a good series. GS is a much more disciplined and tested team than Memphis.

    Stef, Klay and the nutcracker have a ton of experience. This will be a fun series.

    Looney is a very underrated player. He's an incredible rebounder.

    AD is going to feast on either team.

    Then they'd literally have zero rebounds.

    GS goes 8 deep. Just like us - though we go 9 with Troy. 10 with Bease. Rui should have a great series against GS.

    Fox and Monk just wilted. And Steph just ended them. Steph going 50 today. Hope Vando, Dennis, and Troy are ready to try ti exhaust Curry.

    A very scary proposition with GSW. They have Steph, Klay, Poole. All of whom INDIVIDUALLY would be better than our “top 2” 3 pt shooters COMBINED.

    GPJ is absolutely locking one of us up.

    Klay is a two-way player. Looney will avg 15 rebs. They have HCA. We know about dray and his DPOY skillset despite his height.

    I haven’t even brought in Wiggins yet. Ughhhh, scary matchup. Staff def has their work cut out.

    GSW is levels above Memphis.

    We will switch everything and trap Curry often. Klay will kill us at least 2 games.

    idk man.

    gsw is much more physical. They will draw out AD, keep him honest. he won’t be able to do what he did in round 1. Gsw has a PLETHORA of shooters

    Ugh, really didn’t want to play the Warriors, the LeBron fans vs the Steph fans will be insufferable.

    Yeah, he has an advantage but I don't think there will be any feasting. Dray plays him tough. Looney had 3 20+ rebound games this series.

    It's tough sledding.

    If AD is on, Warriors are toast. Warriors played well but the Kings played like scared puppies.

    Yeah - Grizz were not great 3 point shooters. But Ja and Bane put a lot of pressure on a D off the dribble. Poole doesn’t. Klay doesnt.

    our “drop coverage” D will get annihilated. We need to defend the 3 and make them shoot 2s. Feed Steph and Wiggins to Ad.

    Steph is an All Time great...this is going to be a great series. It's a shame that Lebron is less than 100%..but he is still better than Green or Thompson as is.
