it's the mavs vs the warriors in the 2022 western conference finals!

warriors should win on talent but the mavs have been playing better and they have the best player

voted warriors i dont think its quite time yet

i voted mavs tho i could just as easily make a case for the warriors. but the warriors not having anyone who can play perimeter defense scares me vs this team since the mavs will always have two ball handlers on the floor and unless draymond unleashes wing stopper defense that i'm not sure we've seen from him (bcuz it hasn't really been needed) i don't know how they're going to stop luka. i also feel like the mavs might weirdly be the better shooting team? i think getting otto porter back would be big in this series bcuz idk how much looney will be able to play in this match up and after that it was a lot of damion lee and bjelica vs the grizz. maybe that's just a mike brown thing, i think kerr will be more willing to play kuminga, but the warriors are going to need to change their rotation for this series, and if porter and igoudala can't play they start to get pretty thin.

obv the warriors are going to be comfortable playing small and i don't think there's going to be an emperor w/ no clothes moment in this series like there was w/ gobert and ayton. but steph is going to need to find a higher level i think given how much of this series is going play out one on one on the perimeter. klay is a standshill shooter at this point, wiggins isn't much better. how far can steph and poole take them? the answer might be a 6 game victory & a trip to the finals. i could also see them losing in 6. it's gonna be a fun one

feel like were def gonna see dray on luka at some point and i have no idea what will happen but im intrigued to see

big thing is the Warriors have got to stop fucking around

its true
