Taking pictures with a bunch of people. If the warriors are feeling any stress at all, it certainly is not clear. Now, they havent played in a long time. Nine days off and theyve only played 13 games in the last 46 days. You just saw a shot of steph curry there going through his warm ups. I think thats much more preferable than the situation last year when steph was hurt, hobbled through the okc series. The warriors were able to overcome a deficit in that series, but he struggled in the nba finals. One final thought to wrap it up. Steve kerr talked about playing with joy. Some of the Assistant Coaches in the warm ups were talking about thats great, but against the cavs we need grit and we need physicality. Certainly when dealing with lebron jim cramer. In 15 minutes ill talk with an old friend from espn. There is a Huge International contingent of media here. Ill get you that and our own pregame show coming up at 5 00. Thats a wrap. Dan, alma, back to you. Look forward to that. Thanks
