Well, damn. Warriors lost game 1 against the Kings. I mean, it’s certainly not the end. The Warriors have been down in plenty of series during their dynasty run. I’d be very surprised to see them bow out early. BUT…
Here’s the thing: all signs from this year point to them just not having it. They have, literally, the second or third-worst road record in the NBA. They’re a terrible team on the road, and that shit does not fly in the playoffs. Nor does starting to the contest all the way down at the 6-seed. And the Kings, while lacking playoff experience, are very well-coached. The last team Brown was with? The Warriors. Coached us to the second-best defense in basketball last year. He knows his shit.
So…I am worried. Our track record this year speaks for itself: we’re a mediocre team in the big-picture. That usually means—almost always means—we’re a mediocre team when push comes to shove, like the playoffs always, always do. It’s probably not our year.
We’ll see.
Had another wonderful day hanging out with Scaddie. Pine state. Vietnamese for dinner. Lots of hanging around the house and enjoying the surprisingly good weather. It’s so nice up here in the spring. So green.
Night night.
