The Golden State Warriors had little trouble getting past the San Antonio Spurs in the first round. They won the series 4-1 and were not pushed too hard. Kevin Durant led the team in scoring with 28.2 points per game and Klay Thompson was next at 22.6 points. And now it appears that Steph Curry is ready to rejoin the team on the court tonight. He had a great workout on Thursday and Friday and as long as he feels good at shoot a round, he will be in the starting line up. That will be welcome news for head coach Steve Kerr who has been doing his best to keep Steph from rushing back too soon.
The New Orleans Pelicans have not played in a week after sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers. They are playing their best basketball of the season and are a VERY dangerous team. Anthony Davis is in the zone and dominating the paint. He is leading the team in scoring at 33 points per game and is also grabbing 12 rebounds and is blocking nearly 3 shots per game. He looks unstoppable and his fade away jumper has been connecting with high frequency.
But it is just not Davis that has been playing so well. The Pelicans have been getting dynamite play from Jrue Holiday, who is averaging 27.8 points per game and Rajon Rondo, who is averaging 13.3 assists per game. Nikola Mirotic too is contributing at a high level and his making 46.2% of his shots from the 3 point line.
This is going to be one hell of a series. I think it will go all 7 games and the winner will be the favorite to win the 2018 NBA Title.
