Since I matched perfectly the forecast for the first round series, up to game 7, daring homecourt advantage ping-pong included, I think you will be pleased to read my one for the SF:
Game 1 LAL W
Game 2 Dubs W
Game 3 LAL W
Game 4 LAL W - all the commentators recite the De Profundis for us
Steph was in psycho-killer mode, you could see it, but the 3rd quarter stretch that broke the game open belongs to Kevon Looney. He got 10 rebounds in one 7-minute stretch! Plus he was huge in holding Sactown to just 2/10 from the field during that stretch.
Props also to Moody for his part in holding things together that it was still close up to that point, for Dray, Klay, and Wiggins with big defensive stops (including boards) during that run and the following one in the 4th that sealed it. Even Steph's crazy game doesn't win this one if the Kings come alive for their season average 121 points. But the champs' defense was there.
When you think about how many eggs have been wasted on the faces of people who’ve doubted Curry, Draymond and Klay over the years, it’s probably enough to feed the world.
I think this next series goes 7 and I still believe Steph/Klay/Dray are better than LeBron/AD at the end of the day.
I just hope Poole at least shows up this series - because I don't think we can win this series with him repeating his Kings performances. Bench minutes are going to be crucial against the Lakers - we can't get totally nuked during non Steph minutes. JP needs to find some pride, play up to his upcoming contract, and at least match Austin Reeves impact on the floor. I'm sure he's heard all the noise about his play. Well he can do something about all that starting Tuesday.
We get to see at least 4 more games of Steph/Dray/Klay. That's enough to celebrate. Also, the Kings were the 11th different West team the Steph Dubs have beaten in a playoffs series. The three teams they haven't beaten are the Wolves, Suns, and the Lakers. Well, that's convenient. Time to get to work, fellas.
This Lakers team is a polar opposite of the Kings. Old vs young, small vs big, offense oriented vs defense. Should be a fascinating switch to flip. See you Tuesday.
Pretty quick turnaround from now and Game 1. Any predictions? I think we split the first two at home, not sure how the middle of the series will play out but I think we close out on the road again game 6
I am wanting to watch the replay. Did game 7 not air on Bay Area sports? Was it only national? Did they end the broadcast season with that dud Game 6?

Even more daring!

Dray’s podcast is must-watch https://youtu.be/iu17VjsNP4k
Draymond told the Steph’s “If you get on that bus…” speech
Anyone seen this yet?

Warriors lakers might be the most watched playoff series of all time lol

Had to watch via replay so very late to the party. My first and last Steven A quote "Steph Curry was awe dropping"!
Best thing about us advancing is we get to see more Warrior's basketball. I am confident JK and DDV will have a bounce back series against the Lakers.
Holy cow Klay and Wiggins combined for 9/37 o_O
Moody playing 15 minutes and contributing in a Game 7 win ... who would have thought after seeing his DNP-CDs not even 2 months ago
Harrison Barnes will be a free agent in the upcoming offseason. Will the Kings re-sign him or let him walk?
[MTII] "Steph Curry’s 50-point masterpiece started well before Game 7, with a speech and a promise to his Warriors"
