JaVale McGee makes playoff impact for Warriors Two games and 14 minutes last year for the Mavericks. McGee not only revived his career this season with the Warriors, he could influence the outcome of their first-round series against Portland. The Blazers discovered this Sunday in Game 1 when McGee contributed six points, five rebounds and two crowd-inciting blocked shots in 9:41 of action. [...] yes, he had a profound impact — and he figures to get another chance Wednesday night, when the series resumes with Game 2. "Portland likes to play fast," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday. McGee's last extended playoff run came with the Nuggets in 2013. [...] the Warriors are fresh off consecutive NBA Finals appearances, with McGee trying to help them return. McGee's production Sunday mirrored his numbers during the regular season, when he averaged 9.6 minutes and 6.1 points per game. [...] he plays so hard, and runs the floor so hard, it feels like a good time to take him out after five or six minutes.
