Or how the Warriors will adjust to playing an actual defense.

Both the Grizzlies and Mavs ranked in the top 6 of defensive rating this season. The Warriors finished with a higher rating for the season than the Celtics.

An old/flawed Brooklyn

An injured Miami

Did GS benefit from similar things on their path to this point?

They would have lost to the Grizz if Ja didn't get hurt. Nuggets were depleted. Luka has literally never played with an All Star.

They were up 2-1 against Ja.

But I’m optimistic because of their defense and coaching. I’m happy for at least four more games of basketball. Bring it on.
