There are really some intangible/experience related advantages here for the Warriors that one would think would go a long way. The practice structure is different. According to some of the stuff Draymond was talking about on his show yesterday it's a circus because the media is on top of you for half of it. You are mandated to practice in the arena, the media gets to watch a half hour of it and then you have media availability immediately after or before. He said it's not like a real practice that you can get through. This is something one team is intimately familiar with but the other is not..In addition, the mindset is just noticably focused and locked in. Hard for me to explain but Draymond isn't on court Draymond on his show and I came away from listening yesterday thinking wow these guys know exactly what they need to focus on. Half of their team has been in the Finals a handful of times. I think that is an underrated edge that is going to play a major factor.
Nothing surprises me in sports but to me looking at the matchups, the experience, the intangibles, the home court and just the overall talent level it is hard to think that GSW doesn't wrap this up in 6 or less. But crazier things have happened and this is why we watch.
