Another year of stretching the hot takes, narratives and memes out for 2 days between 6 of these 7 games. I wonder how dramatic it will get. If Warriors lose Game 1 Curry's legacy is in doubt. If they make it 1-1 after 2, Boston is on the brink of destruction and it's time to blow that team up. Etc.

The coverage for this series is going to be god ****ing awful, man.

Boston was the best team defending the three over the course of the year. So I'm thinking some of that carries over and Boston's length will really bother the Dubs

Having to get shots up over Smart, Jaylen, Tatum, Horford, and Rob is a lot different than they've had to deal with all post season

And I feel like they don't have that shot maker like Miami, Bucks and Celtics do that can get a quality shot when the "system" fails, or when they aren't getting out on the break and have to work a half court offense

Should be interesting.

I'm pretty psyched. This was my No. 1 preferred matchup heading into the postseason. I'll be pulling for the Warriors but I guess I won't be too incredibly broken up in Boston takes it, too.

As an aside, one thing that came to mind watching Game 7 last night: It has been amazing to watch basketball where:

1. There haven't been 47 instant replays in the final minute

2. There's been very few instances of shooters utilizing the kamikaze lean into a defender

3. There's been barely any rip-through fouls

There's other aspects that can be cleaned up (just as there always will be) but it's been so nice to have that stuff muted. Here's hoping it stays that way. I'll even say the incidental contact reviews lately have gone somewhat quickly from time to time.

Like pretty much any series I just wanna see 7 games. I’m not expecting more than 5 from this one though.

Not expecting more than 5? In which direction?
