Random thoughts in the wake of a successful game 7:
I don't know where Steph sits in the GOAT argument, but he's the best we're ever going to see play for the Warriors, I suspect. I vividly remember Rick Barry and my dad remembers Wilt Chamberlain - and Steph is better than Barry, arguable about where he sits relative to Chamberlain - but this is probably the fourth best dynasty (after Celtics, Lakers and Bulls) and is reminiscent of the great 49er run from 1981 to 1995.
I think the Kings were the toughest Western Conference team (outside of the Suns) in matchup terms for the Warriors.
Thompson had an ice-cold start (1/10 shooting). He got better, as they say in Monty Python. It was an off game (or off-half) for him.
I think Wiggins will do better with a bit more rest. I hope so, anyway.
Kerr has very little faith in his players outside of Curry, Thompson, Green, Looney and Wiggins.
It doesn't surprise me that Moody has ascended to where he was. A little bit of patience is all he really required.
I think Kuminga sat too much this series, and his attitude changes more than the others in correlation to his playing time.
Poole might be - might be - starting to get it.
Looney might be the most underpaid player in the NBA.
All the starters were between +25 and +30. Kuminga was -4 in 3 minutes, GP2 was -13, DDV was -6, Poole was -2 and Moody was -5.
I think the Suns are better than the Nuggets, and yes...I think the Warriors will beat the Lakers, especially since the Warriors have home court advantage. I think the Warriors and Suns meet in the conference finals.
