As of Sunday, the Western Conference semifinals are finally set: The Los Angeles Lakers will head to the Bay Area to face the Golden State Warriors in a series that NBA commissioner Adam Silver has to be salivating to see the ratings on. LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry in the postseason one more time. The defending champs vs. the team with as many championships as any team in league history. A real, meaningful playoff series between the two most relevant franchises of the last two decades.
We’ll continue to write plenty to preview this series here at Silver Screen and Roll, as well as (obviously) analyzing it a ton as it moves along.
