This Team
You know this team is special when you have your star point guard celebrating like this.
If this were a NBA 2K game, the team’s chemistry would be off the charts. Everyone wants to succeed, and everyone is willing to sacrifice for a chance at that success.
David Lee is a great example of that. After spending most of his Warriors’ career as a starter and “semi-star”, Lee is now relegated to the bench. He played a big part in the Warriors’ wins in their second round, but has gone back to getting bit-part minutes off the bench in this series. His playing time varies from zero to 17 minutes, but you haven’t heard him complaining about it at all.
The team’s energy is contagious. This group is a special bunch. Everyone’s in it to win it.
