On Friday afternoon, Bay Area native Jack Del Rio cautiously mentioned that he has NBA Finals tickets for Game 5 of Warriors-Cavaliers. Of course, at that point in time, with the Warriors still undefeated in the NBA playoffs and fresh off a convincing Game 1 win (they’re now up 2-0 after Sunday night’s Game 2 victory), the obvious response was: If there even is a Game 5…
Del Rio wasn’t having that. “I’m not getting ahead of things,” he said firmly. He was talking about the Warriors, but he could have been talking about his own team.
