Going back to the Star Wars stuff and the upcoming Obi Wan show, this 18-minute video by Ryan of ScreenCrush is a REALLY compelling argument about why Ol’ Ben is the most important character in all of Star Wars. A good watch in preparation for the show: https://youtu.be/FSPeD7ldkoI

Man the media is really starting to gas up Steph and are already talking about legacy.

I’m loving the praise, but can’t we a last wait to see if we’ve made the Finals before we’re having these conversations?

Tonight’s the night I think we’ll see the damage we’ve done to Luka’s stamina and his shooting/defense drop way off in the 3 & 4th, just need to play the first half like we value possessions and we’ll all be feet up on our couches tomorrow night watching Celtics/Heat trading blows for the privilege of facing us in Chase in a week

I am nervous. Feels like as the series has gone on, Mavs are figuring out/getting used to Dubs' mix-it-up-on-the-fly kitchen sink defense. I feel like we will have to win G5 at offensive end. Here is to hoping that Klay goes semi-G6 mode, Poole has a 20+ and we hit 50% on 3s.

Let's go.

All, I'm really confused as to what I'm feeling. Am I wildly nervous, or am I recklessly overconfident? Or am I just a little peckish and sleepy???

You decide.

Vote for the photo of GPII's dunk. Several Dubs moments to vote on. GPII pic is the last.

Just a heads up, I have two annoying comments I am going to make because the previous three times I have done both we have won all the games. When I didn't, we lost. So bare with me, I am superstitious....

I have decided I want Wiggins to drop a forty-bomb and win conference finals MVP.

I'm traveling out of the country until June 12. The Substack interface doesn't seem to work well on my phone but I'll try to say hello. Worse, the games will be aired at weird times if at all and I probably won't have opportunities to say "skip the amazing tourist spot, I'm watching a ballgame." So ... good luck all. Go Dubs. I have full faith in a championship. Take care, all.

Warriors have never lost a playoff game at Chase Center. You can't mess with historical greatness. Warriors winning tonight.
