Amazing win for the Warriors and a bubble bursting defeat for the Pelicans who had the game in their hands with a 20 point lead only to lose it in over time to the Warriors. They are the Cinderella team IMO
Tough way to lose for the young Pelicans. As a consolation, nobody could have stopped such a difficult shot by Curry at the left deep corner, it's like the shot was in the hoop all along and he was just going thought the arm and hand motions. Truly one of the best pure shooters ever to step in the court.
Waking up early morning to this headline, and I thought (mistakenly) that the Lakers were exchanging Byron Scott for some draft picks (aka Doc Rivers for a draft pick). That's what you get by being a Celtics fan and reading about the Lakers.
To me, this series is a slugfest. Both teams are giving their all in this battle. But Spurs have more ammo, well tonight will be in Alamo so the Clippers better take deep breaths as the starters are gonna be soaked all game long.
Clippers rusty on offense. I think due to Spurs great defense. Kawhi on Chris Paul. CP3 has got to level up his play, maybe become a CP4.
And the Wizards close in to round 2- up now 3-0 against the early season hot Raptors. Paul Pierce pierces 2 3 balls down the stretch to nail the victory. Still tough as nails. He surely can help this young Wizards team. They are the dark horse in the east.
If Spurs and the Rockets advance, they clash in the big battle of Texas teams.
On the other side, most likely Warriors will be pitted with Memphis.
Spurs vs Warriors will be an awesome series. They'll put Kawhi on Curry or Thompson. Half of the brothers will be neutralized. It's not going to be easy to dethrone the champions. They are hungry to repeat, which they haven't done yet.
