The version of the Golden State Warriors that dispatched the Spurs in five games and cruised to a blowout Game 1 win against the Pelicans is a fine NBA team.

The Warriors Revved Up And Beat The Pelicans At Their Own Game

That five-game first-round series with the Spurs was downright sluggish, by Warriors standards: at 95....
The Pelicans Actually Have A Chance To Give The Warriors Problems
Klay Thompson doesn’t have too many ugly nights these days.
