A very simplistic view of the Warriors is that Chris Paul and Dario Saric make them better than the team that got bounced by the Lakers in second round.
The Warriors will go as far as Wiggins and Kuminga take them. Those are the guys who must step up and be difference makers.
In Detroit, they sort of stepped up in different ways without shooting well. Wiggins had 6 rebounds and Kuminga, though he only had 1 rebound (a continuing weakness that must improve), he got to the FT line 8 times and made 6. That's really the difference in the game on another poor shooting night for the W's, although Chris Paul had his first good shooting night too.
Denver on Wednesday night will be fascinating. Will the Warriors summon a special intensity and play their best, or will they play a meh game that doesn't look like they brought their best effort?
