    Hate to say it but…I don’t see this team beating Steph, Jimmy and Draymond

    Warriors in 5, I just hope we don’t get swept.

    The Playoffs are star driven, we don't have one so it is going to be tough to even score the ball. I can see this team going into 3-5 minute scoring droughts and not being able to get a bucket. Jalen needs to figure out how to break scoring droughts or not allow them to happen, if he can not do it I can see an early exit for the team. Realistically we could use some spot minutes from Cam or Reed to change things up in these moments, but Ime will likely stick to a short rotation and rely on FVV shooting 35 footers to bail us out. Ime will likely go to Aaron Holiday to try to get some bench scoring and expect him to do what Cole Anthony did today off the bench, I don't have a ton of faith in that happening.

    I’m excited for Tari “I don’t like the Warriors” Eason… Might be the “X” factor? might deserve its own thread…

    Stars are born in the playoffs. It’s also where old timer stars go to die. It’s our turn now.

    The Houston Rockets can beat the GSW team. Defense is key, slow down Curry and Butler, and they will collapse. Draymond can't save em.
    Move the ball, the shots will fall in. The refs are the bigger problem.

    I'm shuddering at the thought of Jalen's ball handling with the Warriors blitzing the ballhandler over halfcourt.

    We can beat their asses but the refs will not let us, just like in game 7. We actually hit a couple 3s but the refs waived it off.

    I strongly disagree with the sentiment of this thread. Rockets in...however many games it takes to win!

    But I see a WIN!
