Greetings, Hoops Heads.

Welcome to Locked-on Warriors, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network.

It's Thursday, May 17th.

I'm your host, Aliko Carter.

Well, I predicted six games.

I predicted that the Warriors would take one in Houston, win both in Oakland, lose to Houston

in Game 5, and close it out at Oracle in Game 6, and so far that's what's happening.

The Dubs punched the Houston Rockets in the mouth in Game 1, and in game 2, the Rockets came to

play.

The Warriors kind of beat themselves pretty early on, though. And we'll talk about that

and a lot more in this podcast, including what to expect from the Celtics and Cavaliers tonight.

You can get my written media on Forbes.com. Find me on Twitter at Kojitare, K-O-G-I-T-A-R-E, or at Locked-on Dubs.

I tweet from both accounts. Find us on Facebook, Locked on Dubs,, and locked on NBA net, and you can check out my

credentials at LinkedIn. Al-I-K-O Carter. Now let's get back to the basketball. One thing I did

not mention in yesterday's episode, congratulations to the Phoenix Suns who have their first

overall pick ever Phoenix and expansion team, of course, from the 1970s.

Never won a championship, but has been one of the better teams over the course of the last 30, 40 years.

Adrian Dantley, great player, obviously that run in the 2000s under Mike

Dan Tony. And now a few good young guys in Marquise Chris, of course, Devin Booker, and the number one

overall pick. So good for them. My uncle Larry lives in Phoenix says he's trying to avoid thinking about how the sons are going to mess this up.

Because, you know, he's not a big fan of the ownership, the decisions that they've made over the last few years.
