Love can score...but he is a terrible defender.

And Thompson and Curry still haven't gotten untracked yet. Durant is playing great ball, on both sides of the ball.

Golden State should be ahead by 15-18, if they didn't miss so many bunnies.

Golden State look like a Team USA / Dream Team at times.

So many weapons. Such togetherness. Shooting, passing, movement. Skills galore.

They could probably beat most of the Dream Team incarnations with the exception of the original.

Am I the only one annoyed by the "view from vegas" crap when checking the box score on espn?  Idc if so-and-so covered the spread or not.  Plus, doesn't that constitute as some form of gambling?

Because our front court is soft as hell. Draymond, McGee, Iggy and Zaza are all physical.

Yeah this team NEEDS a dang front court.

Miss the days with KG, Prime Perk, etc...  :(

Warriors taking over.

Have to admit, they're playing like they want it. Insane rebound by Draymond.

And San Antonio, and Houston, and gritty teams like OKC, MEM who are also real tough for Utah.

West overall > East

Unfortunately, the impression that just hits you in the face is how large a gap there is between these two teams and the Celts. We are way behind in terms of pure, powerful talent.

That's why I continue to say - stay patient, no band-aids, all moves should be made with an eye on the long-term. Draft Fultz and keep building.
The Four Celtic Generals:
Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

Klay has been really terrible shooting in the playoffs.
