Warriors are a strange bunch. Ever since they have gone to this small lineup and the 8 man rotation, they have looked like one of the leagues best. The Warriors are one of the best transition teams in all the league, and for the past couple months it's been all fast breaks, I swear they think the shot clock is 10 seconds. They keep a lot of games close then pull away in the second, by doing all the right things in transition and by not being selfish.

Ellis, Jackson, Harrington, Richardson and Davis is about the most versatile lineup in all the league on the defensive end. Dampier getting in foul trouble was big for the Warriors, but the way the Warriors played at the front of the rim was awesome. Your hearing a lot on ESPN about "well, why didn't the Mavs go inside?", they did, the Warriors beat them there too The Mavs changed their lineup like they do when they play the Suns, should show you the type of respect they have for the Warriors.

Mavs are going to have to dig deep to get this one. I knew they would be stretched thin. So difficult to match up with, then you have spark plugs like Pietrus and Barnes coming off the bench, it's incredible. This 8 man rotation they got going is going to give anyone in the league trouble.

I may be getting ahead of myself as I believe the Mavs to truly be the class of the league, but I think the Warriors can pull this one off
