Editor's note: Grant Liffmann (@grantliffmann) is the co-host of Warriors Outsiders, which airs on NBC Sports Bay Area 90 minutes before each home game and 60 minutes after every game. Each week, Grant will drop his Outsider Observation on the state of the Dubs.
The Warriors have been consistently inconsistent throughout the season, so it is always hard to predict how their energy and effort level will be during their next 48 minutes of action. However, I'd venture to say that the Warriors' win in Game 1 of the series was the best case scenario for the team.
