When Klay snaps his wrist and pulls his arms back it's the most beautiful thing in basketball. It's like bowling with bumpers.

My favorite thing about S Dot is he knew he was done and called it a day instead of sticking on the active roster for too long. Couldn't imagine one of our vets staying on the 15 wayyyyy past their expiration date instead of just becoming a player's coach in the name of "culture"

I was thinking about the last Dubs series.

IMHO (reasonable individuals may differ) the most surprising thing in that series was how much better Klay looked on defense compared to previous rounds.

Given that they have three days of rest before the finals, I'm encouraged. Having plus-level wing defense from both Wiggs and Klay is going to make our defense much more capable.

SFGate calls out Windhorst for his dumb SC30 takes: https://www.sfgate.com/warriors/amp/ESPN-analyst-snubs-Steph-Curry-after-Finals-return-17203602.php

Unlike Chase and Oracle, the Boston Garden and Spectrum in Philadelphia can be unforgiving places for their home teams to play. The crowds there will turn on their teams in a heartbeat if they feel they’re getting “punked”, or sometimes, even falling for behind in a contest they’re expected to win. LeBron used to take full advantage of it in Boston and Ben Simmons psyche was a definite casualty of the “fans” on Broad Street.

Appreciate the props to BART, an integral and unsung component of packed venues!

No good to becoming an outsider to Warriors after you got that job thanks to Warriors’ popularity.

Be truthful !

That was not a well officiated game between the Heat and Celtics. I’m not surprised there was a lot of chirping with the refs… but I’m sure they contributed to the tight whistles. I don’t think the bad calls were one sided.

From https://www.basketballnews.com/

TNT’s coverage of the 2022 Western Conference Finals – which featured the Golden State Warriors eliminating the Dallas Mavericks in five games – delivered the network its most-watched Conference Finals broadcasts since 2018, averaging 6.7 million viewers.

Viewership for this year’s five-game series was up 23% when compared with last year’s Western Conference Finals (which saw the Phoenix Suns defeat the Phoenix Suns in six games, drawing 5.5 million viewers).

Good ol Suns beating themselves again 😅

I read that Cleveland wants our Maple Jordan. Should they put Mobley, Markkanen and Okoro on the plate, what would you do?
