Pausing to reflect on their historic fifth consecutive Finals appearance should be an easy task for the Warriors.
“Get outside,” Warriors All-Star Klay Thompson said of his plans for the nine-day hiatus. “Hopefully it’s good weather in the Bay finally. Just enjoy — just enjoy the downtime, because the NBA Finals, having experience with it, it’s such an emotional roller coaster, that it’s nice to get away from the game a little bit before it starts because emotions run high, and it takes a lot out of you.”
Playing down two starters, the Warriors are optimistic the R-and-R window will be plentiful enough for rest, relaxation and returns — of forward Kevin Durant and center DeMarcus Cousins. Durant missed the past five games with a calf strain and could resume on-court activities at the end of the week. Cousins hasn’t played since the opening series of the playoffs because of a quadriceps injury.
Curry roasted the Blazers on the heels of an MVP-type performance in the closeout game to eliminate the Houston Rockets. He has scored 30-plus points in five consecutive games, an epic run that piggybacks similar output by Durant for the first two rounds of the playoffs. Kerr hopes the team and outsiders equally appreciate the current run from Golden State. The Warriors are the first team since Bill Russell captained the Boston Celtics to crash the championship series five consecutive years.
