    Klay Thompson is amazing. Aldridge for Klay? Didn't someone we needed a top tier SG? That's as top tier as you get.

    He gets so emotional when I feel like his team needs a stable hand, but it's kind of funny. The players become the stable hand. Regardless, he's a very relatable entertaining coach. This team is hella fun to watch. I'm loving these playoffs. Only series that bores me is Thunder/Grizzlies and even then, those games have been close.

    Crowd is rattling the Warriors. The Spurs are ultraconfident. They're the only undefeated team in the playoffs.

    Surely the Warriors aren't going to choke away two games in a row?

    No they won't. This is going just like the Denver series. Warriors will go up 3-1 at home and then win at home in 6

    Still hurts so bad that my W's could be up 2-0 heading to Oakland. Silver lining is that game 1 was a tough lesson learned. This one wasn't as lopsided, yet you could tell they kept the aggressiveness up at 100% until the end.

    I guess if you told me heading into the series that we'd get a split in the first two I'd be pretty happy. Sooooo fuggin close to getting both though...

    I knew with Denver they would never get a game in Oakland. Once we won that game in Denver the series was over.

    So far the W's have looked really good against SA, but I still fear them more- especially to steal back a game in Oakland- just because of their pedigree and experience.

    The Warriors take the bigs right out of the game.They spread the floor and speed the game up and keep the pressure on with their outside shooting. It's a more fun game to watch. Love the little guys who can shoot.

    How come the teams that played tonight will play again on Friday, but the teams that played yesterday don't play again until Saturday?

    The league's really fucking with all of the series because of the scheduling. The noon games and the four day layoffs are some bullshit...

    I really don't think the Spurs are that scary. What's so different about the Spurs this year as opposed to the last few years when they've been swept out of the playoffs? It's the same damn team.

    This is a little much, but I'm really developing a man crush for the guy over the course of the playoffs. Hes gotta be one of the better two-way players in the league already and hes just a pretty solid all around 2. Hard to peg where his ceiling is.

    EDIT: Just checked the box score, he got 14 rebounds and went 8-9 on 3's last night lol.

    Metta World PEace tweet: "I think Steve Curry is Top 10 in the NBA. If he works on his defense he will be MVP next year."

    Steph Curry tweet: "@StephenCurry30 32s Back to Oakland. Ready to get back to work already. Steve Curry...out!"

    I've been saying for a few months now that PGs account for half of the top twenty players in the league. So happy to hear that Ron Ron agrees with me.

    Spurs haven't been swept out of the playoffs since 2001.
    He didn't say that.
