Not much action on the old Warriors thread so here’s another one.
The Warriors, who have reached the playoffs 8 out of the last 10 seasons, reached the finals 5 of the last 8 season, and won the Finals 3 of the last 8 seasons are set to reach the Finals again.
No mean feat for a team that was dog meat for a good 14 seasons. Just glad the old owners got out.
Anyhow, I’m sure this game will be heavily tilted by the refs to go Dallas’ way as one more game = a lot more money for the NBA and the cities involved. But I don’t think even the refs can alter the situation.
Warriors sweep.
The Eastern Conference Finals on the other hand are pretty much a slug-fest between Miami and Boston. As John Madden famously said:
“I don’t know if I’m watching 2 great defenses or 2 terrible offenses.”
This certainly holds true for both teams. Boston has some nice players like Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Maxwell Smart, and they are solid defensively, but meh. Same with Miami. Butler and Herro are a pretty lethal backcourt, but the rest are role players. There are no big big men left, so this should all work out to the Warriors favor.
My thought originally was if we could get through the West, we’d be a shoe-in for the whole enchilada.
Love me some Frank.
A football players’ football player.
Hope they find a role for him in the Org like Keena Turner and others along the way.
He epitomizes 9er-dom. 😀
