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

It's Friday, May 18th. I'm your host, Aliko Carter. So I went out last night and put my

jewel down somewhere. A jewel is a nicotine vaporizerizer do not start vaping because that shit will get

you addicted and i'm feigning right now because i put it down somebody must have picked it up and it's

gone so i would suggest to all my listeners out there if you haven't started don. Don't do it. You'll be better for it.

Good show today. We're going to talk about the dubs and the Rockets in game three coming back to

Oakland on Sunday, as well as a little bit about what we can expect from Celtics and Cavs

in Cleveland on Saturday. You can grab this podcast on Spotify, iTunes, iOS, Google Play, and Lockedon Warriors.com.

Kind of weird not having basketball for such a long period of time. The finals are starting

a little bit early this year, May 31st, but very uncharacteristic to have four days off for each

team in between the second and third games. But it's great for the Warriors because, as I said in the last

podcast, they got taxed, they needed the rest. The Hamptons 5 definitely needs the rest. They're going to

be refreshed. They're going to be in Oakland, and it's going to be a new game. Coming home,

I think Steph is going to have a better game. He has to have a better game.

He has to play like an MVP.

Obviously, the Warriors have two MVPs, but And Dremont is really amazing as far as doing everything that the Warriors need done defensively, etc., etc.

Steff and Curry needs to score the ball.

He needs to score more than 18 points.
