Warriors is just a perfect 1st round opponet.

1. They arent that great this year
2. If you beat them you get a huge morale boost. While they may not be great, it's still beating Steph Curry/KlayThompson/Draymond Green in a playoff series.
3. Watching Rudy dominate Draymond would be gold
4. Listening to Draymond make excuses on TNT would be priceless.

If we get to Game 7 in that series I will go and personally get us the win.

I’m doubling it this time *******!!!! I don’t see you out here helping the cause by poisoning our opponent… I’m out here like Rudy on defense.
 
So if the Jazz play the Mavs, Tony Jones thinks the Mavs will play a lineup with Doncic/Brunson/Dinwiddie/Bullock/DFS in order to space the floor.

In that case, the Jazz could counter by playing both Rudys and see if we can dominate inside the paint on the other end.
 
If we win the first round and then face Phoenix or Griz and lose in a close back and forth series 4-3 (note not a epic choke) and that team goes on to the finals and maybe even wins it all. Especially if we were the closest to beating them. How would people feel about this team then? Somehow I think this scenario is very possible.

I wouldn't feel much differently than I do now, to be honest. I think we're all past the point of moral victories...it feels like it's at least conference finals or bust for this team. Conley will be 35 next season, Gay 36, Bogey 34 by next years playoffs. Even if your scenario came to fruition, I still feel like at the very least we need to re-tool around Rudy and Donovan in the offseason to try and get younger, more athletic and better defensively.
 
The main question for me isn't the matchups on the court but Quin's ability to actually adjust. He has come out with fantastic starts to the playoffs 3 years straight and then gets out coached BIG TIME and he thinks he is adjusting but it's almost a joke at this point.

If we drop the ball again on a small ball lineup after supposedly preparing all season (which I haven't seen) then count me out on Quin. If Quin learns to actually adjust (which may require removing Gobert at times) then I will be pleasantly surprised. I don't expect it though.
 
Hard to choose. GSW is probably a bit more complete than Dallas. And if we pass this round, playing Grizz instead of Suns first might be a better option. But first we have to pass the 1st round, far from beeing done the way we currently play.
