The countdown to Golden State Warriors' first playoff appearance in a dozen years was now official. It was more precise than the ESPN ticker or the NBA.com web page, because it was the official countdown inside the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Its red digits started counting backwards from 90:00 as players were finding their way from the bus to the locker rooms. These 2007 Warriors have little playoff experience, but their excitement can more than make up for it. Pin that against a Dallas' home crowd which expects nothing less then a championship ring, and you get the perfect definition of playoff basketball.
Coming of the visiting team bus, Sarunas Jasikevicius was the Warrior most comfortable with playoff basketball. Lithuanian guard had experienced playoff basketball, albeit of a different continent, many times before, playing and winning on big basketball stages in Europe and around the world. His confidence is easily explained: three Euroleague titles, an Olympic bronze medal, and an European Championship gold.
