How about those Warriors!

[rhodyjoe]

Even I thought a Steph less Warrior team might struggle against Portland. You would never know that based on the way the Warriors came out in game 1. 37-17 Warriors! And that was after the first quarter. Wow! Do you think that team was pumped just a bit in the 1st quarter. Just a bit I would say. They did cool off and who wouldn't after a 1st quarter margin of 20 (about). Warrior held on and won by 8 or 9 points. As I see it, when Steph comes back we may have a team that is now better by 20% overall (excluding almost nothing)then before Steph got hurt.

I wasn't sure if this Warrior team had a chance to repeat or not. If there overall performance continues anything half as good as it was in the first quarter of gamee 1 they just might be in the finals with a very good chance of repeating .

My only concern would be the energy level. Right now the Warriors are playing with a very high energy level. Can the players repeat that in every game? Only time will tell but...

When I was in college my coach demanded that we always play at a high energy level at both ends of the court. Our entire starting five and the 6th and 7th players who always received most of the playing time ran out of energy both mentally and physically in the regional finals. Nothing left. Our minds wanted to for the most part but the bodies said slow down. I remember no matter how hard I pushed myself to not believe it but I really did not want to be there that day. Same can be said for other on the team.

Hope that doesn't happen to this team. Team leader anybody? I can not imagine that happening to Golden State. (Please change this awful name.)Golden State, really? They couldn't come up with something better. Where is Golden State, anyways? I can not find it on the map1

Joe, it's in Oakland California and I would think that them being at the NBA level they should be able to continue to play at the same pace for the rest of the season. Looks like another high scoring shootout.

Can't argue with that.

My Mouth All Season

Hey Geys,

Hey guys all season long in my newsletter and somewhat here I have been on the Warriors bandwagon long before the season even started.

To put my money where my mouth is I just laid down 5 dimes on Golden State defeating Oklahoma City in the up coming series beginning tonight. I would have laid down a little more but for some strange reason I was shut off at $5000 per total bet(s) per event. All well they always pay me so I don't care.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL

Oklahoma City(1-0) 21 26 47
Golden State(0-1) 27 33 60 Half Time

13 point half time lead and then lose. WOW, that's life gaming in the NBA I am told.

[rhodyjoe]

Oklahoma City(1-1) 20 29 19 23 91
Golden State(1-1) 27 30 31 30 118

Now that is what I thought would happen in game 1 also.

OK series tied at 1 game each.

Next game May 23rd


(Absolutely stupid! 5 days between games. It only serves TV money and not the flow of the series.)

Thanks you Golden State. I just won my $5000 bet that the Warriors would win the title!

I should have said that Warriors would win the Western title. I thought it would have been against a tough San Antoinio team. After that they will beat a very tough and motivated Cleveland team. This could be one of those epic NBA finals. 7 games?

Special group of guys.

Great start for the finals.

The GSW have proven one thing loud and clear to me so far and that is I will take Golden State's bench easily over Cleveland's bench.

I Paid the Bet

While I was away from here I paid off my $ 5,000.00 bet. As much as it pained me to say after the finals, the better team won the best of seven.

After I paid him my friend immediately asked me "Double or Nothing?" I accepted the bet. Within two days Golden State made their big free agent signing and I look golden.

However, I said that last year around April and well as everyone knows Golden State did not win the NBA Championship.


"Double or Nothing?" I like that bet a lot now.
