After this game I feel the more convinced that the back-to-back contributed in a big way to the Warriors win against Phoenix. There's just something in the air when you can feel a team is tired and things are not working out.

If it weren't for the increased injury risk, I'd say back-to-backs were good for the league because the extra adversity and chance for upsets is interesting! But nah, injuries are the worst part of basketball so anything that contributes to that sucks.

The Warriors might have a shot at an upset over the Sixers if Curry and Green are healthy and Simmons and Embiid are not. The Sixers will also be on the 4th game of a west coast road trip though with plenty of rest.

Ugly game. The wizards have some decent pieces in place starting with Beal, Bryant and Hachimura. I also really like Bertrans a lot, Spurs are dumb for letting him go. It’ll be interesting to see what the Wiz look like next year with Wall back..

"Hello, hello.....Is there anybody in here? Just laugh if you can hear me? Is there anyone home?"

I watch every game. I find the best thing to do after a beatdown is to put on a classic Warriors win. Game 5 and 6 of the 2019 semifinals are nice, but my favorite video, considering where we are as a franchise is Steph dropping 50 "Stephertlessly" with less than 30 shots.....each time! This video makes me GIDDY......ENJOY!

Time to re-watch the Phoenix game to get this bad taste out of my mouth. 😎
