Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are no Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, but some say they are trying to pull off a high-octane heist against the San Antonio Spurs. A team many people counted out when David Lee went down, Golden State is still in it. They're going for the Oscar...the Best Series...the Larry O'Brien, they want to win it all.
I find it more fitting now, than before, to deliver this movie poster showcasing the three talents carrying the Warriors. How can you deny these young men another series win? Especially after a career performance from Harrison Barnes. When Curry and Thompson struggled offensively, and Bogut got into early foul trouble, Barnes took over. The team remained composed and continued to play their game. Their game is what continues to bring them back from deficits. Their game is what held the Spurs in overtime. Their game has evened the series to 2 a piece.
With the exception of Rose, no other player has been trending more during the playoffs than Curry. And while Rose is showing no signs of returning to the court this year, Curry is showing no signs of stopping or slowing down, despite his ailing ankle. The sportscasters like to bring attention to the noise the fans bring to the "Roaracle." How about the social media noise? Where did all these Golden State fans come from? One hundred plus decibels is followed by hundreds of thousands of live tweets. When did everyone become Curry's number one fan? The last time I remember so many fans coming out of nowhere was when the Phoenix Suns ran with KJ and Majerle in the early 90's. All-Star and fan favorites stacked, they fell short of the championship. Are the Warriors poised for a different outcome? Will these fans continue to line-up for this starring backcourt?
This series is nothing short of thrilling and spectacular, and I cannot wait for Game 5!
