Only 2 Games Back Now, Biatches

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:flag:

[ezau]

The Pistons doing us a solid.

[thiste]

Ws in panic mode right now.


Curry is a beast tho

[SpursFan86]

If GS loses one of their next 3 games (@Cleveland, @ Chicago, Indiana) and the Spurs win their next 3 games (Dallas, @Phoenix, @LAL), the game on the 25th between the Spurs and Warriors will be for the top spot in the West.

:flag:

[thiste]

LAL trailing 36 to 60 against the Jazz at the half right now. I think we should be the slight favorites for our game in a few days...

[boutons_deux]

My guess is that the Cavs will be primed and waiting for them.

[Uriel]

Tbh, if the #1 seed is on the line @GS, you just know the Warriors are gonna play way over their heads and treat that game like Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

[r0drig0lac]

Cavs are going to hit those asses on Monday

[CGD]

Bulls should also be tough. They tend to play up (and down) to their competition.

[spursistan]

they will take the L in CLE but will beat Bulls..

[houston spurs fan]

Assholes starting to pucker....

[steeledl]

I think they are having a hard time figuring out their rotations with Barnes back.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Bulls and Cavs on the road... they'll lose 1 of those 2... prefer they beat the Cavs and lose to the Bulls tbh

[steeledl]

Also positive to see that the Drummond gave the Warriors small ball lineup a lot of problems.... something we will need to be able to exploit to beat them.

Aron Baynes 6-6 with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in 9 minutes. Thank you Baynes.

If it's January and you're getting pumped about possible changes in the standings then you have way too much time on your hands.

[Drachen]

I don't know if anyone here still remembers this, but we used to have a picture that we would post everything the spurs were coming for first seed. It would have three other team's best player in a car looking stressed out and a spur on a motorcycle right behind them. We should do that again

[Robz4000]

:lol it would be pretty hilarious if the Spurs overtake the Dubs after their game in a week after their historic start though...

A lot of people here are really jealous/denial/ hating about Golden State so they feel vindicated at any sign of a chink in their armor tbh.

Can't wait to see the Spurs demoralize those mental midgets

[BatManu20]

Hopefully they drop another one of their next 3. Still early in the season though. With how tough our schedule gets towards the end of the season, would be nice if they racked up some more losses soon.

[Big Dog]

:lol I hate the Warriors as much as the next guy. But come the fuck on. It's January, shit will change.

[BatManu20]

Yea not going to overreact to one loss by GSW. Too early in the season and they're still a great team.

Notorious SVG :lol

Easily the best coach in the NBA without a ring...Do people forget the dumpster fire that place was in Dumars last years..If they can shore up that bench and get Drummond to improve his Ft shooting, they will be among East elite in near future..

[Kawhitstorm]

It ISN'T a "one game" sample, have you looked at how they have been on a steep decline since the beginning of December?:lol

Just saying it's too early to get up for it. Only halfway through the season. Hopefully they continue to decline though. We'll see.

If there is such a thing as "peaking too early" that EXACTLY what they have done. There were winning game they had no business winning b/c they had 5 guys shooting 40%+ from 3 now that everyone has regressed to the mean they have to actually play defense & execute. It's not like they are losing games playing their game but rather losing games dictated by the opposition which is a MAJOR issue even if they pull out a win.

The same thing happened to them in last years playoff but they lucked out b/c their opponents weren't the cream of the crop but rather teams that field out flawed players such as Tony Allen, Josh Smith & Delly to play 30+ minutes.:lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Ehh considering all the hype they were getting during their streak, and the media making them out to be unstoppable. To be 2 games behind them is sort of a big deal even if it's just January.

The fact that they went god mode on the league for a couple of months and they still only have a 2 game lead speaks volumes about the Spurs. If in early April you told me the Spurs had closed within 2 games, I'd have been impressed. But it's January and the Ws are looking increasingly mortal.

And the the difference between the Spurs and Warriors was pointed out with that Klay Thompson tweet. They're thinking about the Spurs. The Spurs, for all anyone knows, aren't thinking about them.

Anyone remember that pic that used to be posted here like five or so years ago that said "team in rear view mirror may appear closer than they are" with our team in the mirror? I wish I could find it;it should also be updated. :lol

It's the Thompson tweet and the Kerr quote from last year about being grateful that they avoided the Spurs or whatever. They're still clearly scared of the Spurs, and that's going to affect the overwhelming confidence they need to shoot lights out. They know SA was never fooled by their new-found dominance. So I think the fact that they are looking at losing HCA in a potential match-up with SA is scaring the hell out of them. It probably wouldn't be that long of a series (Warriors would probably take Game Four at Oracle and that's it) if that's the case.

[Old School 44]

Seriously... Hats off to both the Spurs and the Warriors. 6 and 4 losses at this point of the season is incredible regardless of the strength of schedules. Just about any other year we'd be talking about how the number 1 seed is locked up for one of them. I think it's great to have both of them there to push each other.

Sure the Warriors have slipped a little, but here's to wishing good health for both teams for the rest of the year, and hopefully an eventual meeting, in what would be an epic Western Conference Finals.
:bobo

[NameLess Scrub]

The seed for #1 seed is huge. Even more considering HCA will probably decide most series between top teams.

It's good too that the Spurs have been able to rest due to all the blow outs. Can only hope it works for durability and gives them an advantage.

[SpursIndonesia]

How is this year Spurs record compared to the 2010-11 one ? I can't fathom a Spurs team with guys like Bonner, Blair, and Jefferson playing heavy minutes doing so well early on. Catching many teams off guard out of their corporate knowledge & the system ? Manu Ginobili in god mode ?

Think about this: in the history of the NBA, there has only been one team to win 70+ games. There is a legitimate chance for two teams to do it this year.

Yes, and quite frankly the Spurs, and even the Warriors, probably give away some games if there's really nothing else to gain (home court) the last couple weeks of the season.

About time I say:


SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE BOOOOOOOOOOOARD

[spursistan]

after 24-0 start: Spurs 16-1 (17.8 NET rating), Cavs 13-3 (8.1), Thunder 14-4 (10.7), GSW 13-4 (8.9 NET rating), Clips 13-4 (7.4 NET rating)

It is clear that streak has taken mental/physical toll on them..they have been just one of best team in NBA for month now instead of Bulls'96-good level one....

the supporting cast has regressed to the mean or is just flat out sucking..(Iggy is shooting 27% from 3PT in Jan, 20% in Dec after hitting 50% in Nov)

Correct. Cavs set the blueprint last June on how to beat the Warriors. You have to make Iggy fill up on 3's, trap/get the ball out of Curry's hands as much as possible, and penalize them on the other end in the paint and on the offensive glass. Jacking up any 3's that aren't open and not at the very end of the shot clock plays into their hands as it fuels their breaks.

All you gotta do is look at the Pistons forum LOL

[Horse]

We've always matched up well. We can really kill them on the boards now with LMA never realized he was so good on the offensive glass.
