I still hate Harden the most. I used to hate LeBron even more because of the flopping, but he's been a little less dramatic/baiting on the court

I listened to the BSS guys pod today and they made a pretty good point. KD is easily frustrated. So while there isnt much we can take advantage of against GSW, other than McGee's lack of offense or Cook's lack of defense, I think mental toughness is where we have a nice edge.

We need to figuratively hit them in the mouth, and just like we did with Portland, respond every they go on a run (easier said than done I know). If we can do that, I think we will see Golden State crumble worse than Portland did

so how soon after GSW closes this out tonight do we find out our schedule?

I imagine early tomorrow morning at the latest, right?

I know im probably overly confident right now because of the high of our sweep, but I'm watching this Spurs/Warriors game, and I'm not impressed with Golden State or San Antonio & GSW is only leading by 2


I have no idea. but id assume if Golden State wins tonight, the schedule would come out quickly (meaning we get first crack at TV times) since the rest of the series are still going on

That head bob and jerk shite he does when driving to the basket is the worst.

San Antonio needs to drag out this series.

Their mental will be in disarray if they come close to being eliminated. Especially if it goes to 7 and we somehow steal game 1.

I'm sure the Warriors play good defense but the Spurs look totally underwhelming. If we can hold the Warriors to under 50 in a half I like our chances a lot more than theirs.

I'd imagine by noon tomorrow at the latest.
I'd also assume they'd want warriors/pels in the ABC 2:30 slot on either Saturday or Sunday. Since a potential Cavs game 7 is set for Sunday, I'd imagine GS/NO will get Sat at 2:30. Then from there Mon for G2. The rest will depend on whether we get 1 or 2 days off when they switch to NOLA games. So either Wed/Thu for G3, Fri/Sat for G4

pelicans were aggressive against portland, like nothing we’ve seen out of them before.
if they do that again this series is going to be contentious

there’s a lot of egos on that GSW team and they are not gonna like getting run at

should be interesting

They showed video of him warming up before the game. He didn’t look smooth but he also wasn’t going top speed.

I saw that too. Game set for 04/28 on TNT but the time is not set yet.

Pelicans have not played since 04/21, while the Warriors played last night 04/24



I think there is definitely a positive giving the Pels move time off to rest and game-plan for Golden State because I don't expect them losing focus with Rondo at the helm. I also don't think the Warriors will be tired or shaken going into Saturday. Let's do this sons

Well I guess the one bright side is that we have a legitimate reason if we lose, rust. While GS only has the injury excuse.

Lauren needs to tape that to his bathroom mirror so he knows how to start each day.
