3-1 jokes aside, it’s time for the Golden State Warriors to finish off the Los Angeles Clippers and move on. We look ahead so the team doesn’t have to. With an extremely worthy Houston Rockets poised to advance, it behooves the defending champs to close their first round series out in a timely fashion.
It’s been a weird series. Other than the Clippers’ historic comeback Los Angeles has been thoroughly dominated. But that comeback, along with painful memories of unavoidable “Warriors blew a 3-1 lead” meme and a season that was a bit less than wall-to-wall dominance, have me nervous.
