Marcus Thompson, Senior Columnist for The Athletic talked about why it's so different to just beat the #Warriors once and to actually eliminate them from the playoffs

5-31 Marcus Thompson discusses difference between beating the Warriors and eliminating them out

Bay Area sports fans are in for a treat when they listen to Tom Tolbert on their drive home each afternoon. There's probably no other talent who enjoys his job more than Tolbert, and you can hear that in his delivery. He’s calm, cool and smooth on the air. And while he can be brilliant with the hard hitting interviews, he'll also joke and laugh at the humor that is a major part of sports talk radio. A standout at the University of Arizona, Tom helped lead the Wildcats to a trip to the 1988 Final Four. Tom was a second round pick by the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA draft, and had stints with the Clippers, Hornets and the Golden State Warriors. Tom joined KNBR in 1996, and he’s worked the 3p-7p time slot ever since. Tom is also the color announcer for all Warriors home games and has the fun job of interviewing Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr, who was Tolbert's college teammate at Arizona.
