Game 6's usually go well for the Warriors
THAT TREND BETTER CONTINUE TOMORROW NIGHT!
Warriors are going to a Game 6 at home against the #2 seeded Memphis Grizzlies. I was so annoyed by how the last game went, I had to go look at every Game 6 ever during the Splash Bros era to remind myself of how good the Warriors usually perform in those pivotal clashes.
The Dubs are 8-3 since 2013 in Game 6’s and here are those highlights, with six words that sum up their memories for me.

Game 6's usually go well for the Warriors
Greetings from the Moynihan Train Hall in NYC, where the BATT (Big Ass Train Trip) is about to take us to Washington DC, where we’ll stay three nights at my best friend’s house and watch tonight’s game with excited anticipation.
The Warriors are being picked to win tomorrow but the reality of the situation is that they look very beatable and have lost a lot of their chemistry. The long season can wear any team down and it's looking like that wall could be closing in on the team. Otoh, we all know anything can happen. But I'm looking at how good other teams are playing and I don't see our boys matching up with any of them for the ring unless they are able to regain that rhythm they are known for.
