Pelicans are a tougher matchup for Warriors than OKC would have been . Pels may get a close one in NO Warriors in 5
Warriors smash! Honestly, just as you think the Pelicans might be pushing back, the Warriors switch gears and it's suddenly +20. I'm impressed.
I can't even begin to express how much I enjoy watching these two particular teams right now. No flopperistics like Chris Paul and Biff. No driving into people and getting endless whistles in your favor like Beard Papas, no juicing like Lebronze. Just good basketball and great skilled superstar young players in the Splash brothers and the Unibrow. The NBA's future is in good hands with these kids.
I didn't even think about that until you said it. That's probably why I'm so invested in this series, its just straight up basketball, none of the other stupid things.
As we saw first hand, especially in those pre-season games against us, when the Warriors get hot they are absolutely unstoppable. It's insane to see that backcourt go off. It's fun to watch.
This is brutal for the Pelicans. If they're going to win a game, it's game 3. But that'll take the fans going nuts for 48 minutes, Pelicans hitting all their shots, making some sort of defensive adjustment, and the Warriors taking a game to get used to the rims. If all that doesn't work for them, it's a sweep.
I do feel bad for the Unibrow right now, especially cos that third foul call was garbage, but he does have to pay his dues. It's his first PO appearance and it's going to be a learning process. Love his game though. This is a tough lesson, but you have to start somewhere. I still think NO wins at least one game against GSW, like you said, probably at home, not in the Bay.
