Will they?  If they both sweep in 4, the next series may start earlier than expected and cause Steph to come back early. 

they dont usually start 2nd round series until almost all of the 1st round ones are done.   THey may overlap a gm 1 with a gm 7 from the previous round but the start of the series wont vary more than a day or two.

Someone should probably tell Steph that patting himself on the back for his humility in a self-narrated commercial about his rise to greatness is kind of contradictory.

Can you imagine if LBJ made that commercial?    Not that he hasnt done similar.   Just saying its pretty amazing how little backlash I've seen about the Steph one.

Warriors are playing some inspired basketball tonight. I thought it would be the Spurs playing inspired tonight given the loss in the Popovich family 

The Spurs definitely played hard early.   They are playing a MUCH better team.   Nothing more to it.

Yeah, right now the 2nd round is scheduled to start Monday, April 30, with April 28/29 as the move up dates.  They'll almost certainly bump up GS/NO to either Saturday or Sunday, whichever day the last Game 7 (if any) is on.  So two days earlier at most.  That's not nothing though.  Steal game 1, pressure Steph to come back in a "must win" game maybe before he's ready, and you might have something.

My guess though is that Golden State learned their lesson 2 years ago bringing back Steph too early (even if the Portland series would have been tied 2-2 had he not played Game 4), and, barring an elimination game, he won't touch the court until he's 100% and has had adequate practice time.  That'll be easy to do if they keep winning; those decisions obviously become more difficult if they're down--or even tied--in a series.

People like Steph, that's all there is to it. LBJ is polarizing, Steph mostly just plays. His mouth guard chewing is weird, but not that big of a deal. The biggest knock on him is he has a lot of unlikeable teammates.

These West playoffs 1st round are lame as fuck. As expected, only one real intriguing series and that's Okc Utah

Still cant believe the Pels, Im rooting for them but have that feeling like they could lose the next 4 against Blazers.  The next game is still gonna be entertaining
