Andrew Bogut has some terrifying news for Matthew Dellavedova, LeBron James and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Australian centre says his Golden State Warriors are yet to play their best despite going up 2-0 in the NBA Finals and winning the games by an average of 24 points.
"The crazy thing is we don't think we have played as well as we can play these last few games," Bogut, in an interview on NBA Radio, said.
"No disrespect to the Cavs, but we think we have made some silly errors throughout the game, had lulls where we have turned the ball over and kind of lost focus for a two or three minute shift which you can't do in a finals series."
James has described Wednesday's (Thursday 11am AEST) game three of the best-of-seven game series as do or die for the Cavaliers.

The big positive for the Cavaliers is they will be playing in front of their home crowd at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena for the first time in the series.
"They are going to come out fired up," Bogut said.
"You expect nothing less.
"They've obviously been beaten down by the media the last three or four days and everyone has counted them out already."
There has been pressure on Cavaliers' coach Tyronn Lue to shake up his starting five, but he was left with no choice when All-Star forward Kevin Love was ruled out on Wednesday with a concussion.
Dellavedova, the Cavaliers' Australian back-up point guard and a hero in last year's finals when he inspired his team to game two and three victories, could be promoted to the starting line-up.
Bogut lost his starting position in last year's finals when Warriors coach Steve Kerr opted to go with a smaller line-up with guard/forward Andre Iguodala.
Bogut has kept his spot this year and has been the dominant defensive force, including five blocks in Sunday's game two win, but he says the key to the Warriors is the players put the team first.
If Kerr tells them to go the the bench they have no qualms about doing it.
"We don't have any prima donnas that are bitching and complaining about minutes (and say) 'I want to get mine, I'm not getting my touches'," Bogut said.
"That makes a huge difference."
