The Golden State Warriors have found themselves in quite a deep hole.
They now trail the Los Angeles Lakers, 3-1, in the Western Conference semifinals.
Yet, Colin Cowherd thinks they’re a long way from finished.
“I think Golden State wins the next two,” Cowherd said on Tuesday, noting that the Warriors’ role players tend to play much better at home and will show up on Wednesday night.
He also said that Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson should shoot much better from the three-point line and that Lonnie Walker IV likely won’t have another amazing night as he did on Monday.
Lastly, Cowherd said that both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are “running on fumes” and that their impact on the floor might be limited.

Cowherd is certain that the Warriors will win the next game and the betting markets also seem fairly positive they will too.
He said the big question is: How will Darvin Ham respond?
Will he decide to bench both James and Davis early in the game if it becomes clear that they are going to lose?
Or will he let them try to stage a comeback if they are falling behind?
Cowherd reminded viewers that the Lakers have an incredibly strong defense and they might hang around and look promising throughout the game, but he believes the Warriors will ultimately prevail.
Although many people are predicting a Lakers defeat in the next game, the team has said they will play as hard as they can.
But they really do have their work cut out for them.
While the Warriors have a troubling road record, they are usually very successful at home.
However, the Lakers stole Game 1 away from them in San Francisco, so there is reason to believe they could do it again.
