Pick Dawgz: Go with the Warriors in Game 2 vs. Kings
Randy Chambers writes: "The Sacramento Kings deserve credit for not backing down in game 1 and finding a way to get the job done, as it looked like the Warriors were in control up 10 points with less than 3 minutes to play in the third quarter. The Kings look like they're capable of making this a series. However, I still give the Warriors the edge because of their experience, and I'm going to back them whenever an underdog in the playoffs. The Warriors are too proven to turn down in the underdog role this time of year. Give me the Warriors."
