Game 3 surprised me when Kerr went all-in for the knock-out rather than playing for a possible longer series.  

Kerr played all starters 39 or more minutes and only Poole played significant minutes off the bench.  For an older team with some injury issues this was more than surprising.  Despite all the talk of a deep Warrior bench when these play-offs started it sure looked short on Sunday.  Perhaps Kerr wants the long lay-off as the Ws wait for the Eastern Conference finalists to wear each other out.  If so ... expect Dallas to face the same buzz saw tonight and we'll know quickly whether their heart is still in this thing or they are lining up early June golf dates.
