Andre Iguodala says he’s trying to finish the season “walking.” Around-the-clock treatment is part of his plan, and he’s hoping to play in the NBA Finals, but hardly sounds optimistic. – 3:46 PM

Andre Iguodala says it’s really good to see African American coaches get a chance and a chance to stick. He credits Ty Lue as one of the most feared coaches who can succeed without having an analytical background. pic.twitter.com/61gtG0zGXl – 3:43 PM

Warriors-Celtics predictions fairly evenly split. Warriors seem a bit deeper and have home court. Status of Porter and Payton could be key, less so Iguodala. Will be curious to see how Green is utilized defensively. Game 1 will tell a lot, we’ll see how tired Boston might be. – 8:09 PM
