OK, it obviously takes both teams shooting a terrible percentage to happen, but 70 rebounds is just insane, as is the Warriors getting up 104 shots, even after 17 turnovers.  To put that in perspective, Memphis only had 99 shots in their Game 5 demolition.

I found it fascinating to hear interim HC Mike Brown say the reason Kevon Looney started was because Draymond and Steph advocated for him to start. Organizations win championships. All we ever hear about is the Miami Heat "culture." Well there is another NBA outfit that also has an amazing culture and that team will be playing in its 6th WCF in 8 seasons.

The trust both management and coaching staff put in its team leaders to make such a pivotal decision is uncommon in any organization and has significance that can't be understated. I mean what if Bob Meyers thought they needed to get off to a fast start and figured Jordan Poole should start instead of Looney, he told the coaching staff this, and said "Joe (Lacob) thinks so too."  Joe Lacob deserves massive credit for building an organization that empowers and trusts people not responsible for decisions to make them sometimes. 

As for who the Warriors would prefer to face, probably Dallas just for home court advantage, but I believe they will beat the Suns in 6 if they meet them. My assumption was Memphis would be a bigger challenge for Dubs than Phoenix or Dallas.
