In the first round of the playoffs, the Golden State Warriors showed strong competitiveness. Their "New Death Five" were so powerful that they eliminated jokic's Nuggets in just five games. Nowadays, many people have regarded the Warriors as the biggest hit in the NBA championship this season, including the famous Garnett.
In a recent episode of showtime, Garnett expressed his support and appreciation for the Warriors. He said: "I will support the Warriors because I feel like they've reached a very high level and they're in championship mode. Clay, Curry and Green have been playing together and have a very continuous performance. ”
Garnett's statement represents the thinking of many people. The current Warriors, in addition to the Splash Brothers and Dream Green, there are Wiggins, who is good at defense, and Poole, who is strong and explosive. Next in the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors will face the young Grizzlies. While the Grizzlies didn't lose ground against the Warriors in the regular season, it was the playoffs. Their series with the Timberwolves exposed a lot of problems, and the Warriors had a good chance of eliminating them.
In an interview before the game, Warriors coach Kerr responded domineeringly: "We will not see the Grizzlies as old enemies, our Warriors have no old enemies in the past 7 years." ”
