Warriors lose to Minnesota at home

[Dex]

I know this is probably a NBA Forum thread, but let's face it...these are two of the best teams the regular season has ever seen, especially simultaneously. Room for discussion.

GSW picks up their 9th loss tonight. Now 3 losses behind the Spurs.

Spurs play them at Oracle on Thursday, and in San Antonio Sunday. That would put the Warriors 1 game ahead and lacking the tiebreaker. And it's not impossible to say they could lose one more game with the "skid" they have hit...comparatively speaking, of course.

Do the Spurs still push for #1 seed AND try to block the Warriors from 73 at the same time? Or does Pop stick with the second seed plan and hide cards in the next two games?

The rest of the season may still have left some juice left to it.

[ducks]

Gs can not break record now

[SpurPadre]

Wonder what excuse Draymond has this time?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Problem is their only other games are against the Grizzlies who have mailed it in without their big players...

[Spur|n|Austin]

It's interesting.

Their (GSW) focus on a record and Spurs focus on another ring is more important than people think.

It may be more of an interesting finish than fans thought 24 hours ago.

[apalisoc_9]

Push for the 1 seed!

[pgardn]

Damnit!

They need to feel invincible.

Crap.

[Dex]

Gs can not break record now

They have to win out to beat the 72-10 record.

[soxxx]

Spurs in 6.

[TE]

Spurs are fine at the 2nd seed. Warriors are very beatable at home.

[TheGreatYacht]

Play everyone Thursday. Take a shit on their court and on their owner

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Push for the 1 seed!

Dude. They have 2 games each left, against Spurs and Memphis. If Memphis had Gasol, Conley or Randolph maybe, but since they don't....

[timtonymanu]

Do Spurs go for the win at home though?

[Arcadian]

I want the 2 seed.

GS will choke away HCA by losing game 1 or 2.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Dude. They have 2 games each left, against Spurs and Memphis. If Memphis had Gasol, Conley or Randolph maybe, but since they don't....

So you would have bet on the wolves against the warriors tonight?

Thursday night becomes a telling game.

[SpursFan86]

Unfortunate that their only 2 games left outside of us are vs. a completely injured Memphis team...I mean they just lost to Minnesota so obviously anything is possible, but it's pretty damn unlikely that we'd get the #1 seed even if we do beat them both games.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Resting at home like Shaq says is FUCKING STUPID. We go for 41-0 at home, no matter what.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Do Spurs go for the win at home though?

I really want to get that 41-0. The win at Oracle would be house money but not necessary at all.

[tmtcsc]

Don't tell the Bulls that.

[DMC]

I hope Pop rests his guys and lets them waltz to the record. He'd be taking Kerr's cookie and throwing him a bone at the same time.

[timtonymanu]

Thunder are locked into the 3rd seed, I think I would rather play them in the 2nd round vs LAC.

[Dex]

Dude. They have 2 games each left, against Spurs and Memphis. If Memphis had Gasol, Conley or Randolph maybe, but since they don't....

Randolph is back and had 27 and 10 tonight.

And Memphis is fighting for their playoff lives.

Clearly still a long shot, but after the Warriors struggled against the Jazz, then lost against the Celtics and Timberwolves...still can't say it's impossible.

Obviously, Thursday's game will set the course.

[Nathan89]

Pressure is mounting :lol
Playing big minutes:lol
Choking:lol
Regular season champs:lol

[808]

Walton 39-4
Kerr 30-5

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Conley not expected back this season; Hairston may return soon

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Randolph is back and had 27 and 10 tonight.

And Memphis is fighting for their playoff lives.

Clearly still a long shot, but after the Warriors struggled against the Jazz, then lost against the Celtics and Timberwolves...still can't say it's impossible.

Obviously, Thursday's game will set the course.

If we can get the game in Oracle... Memphis's best shot is to beat the Dublets in Memphis. No way Dublets lose 4 in 5 at home.

[SpurPadre]

Dude. They have 2 games each left, against Spurs and Memphis. If Memphis had Gasol, Conley or Randolph maybe, but since they don't....

They do have Randolph. He played for them today.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

TBH though the Spurs haven't dropped as much as the Warriors have, their level of play recently leaves much to be desired; lots of great stretches but also some very lazy stretches of basketball in every game. Part of me wants them to rest the road games and play hard the home games.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

They do have Randolph. He played for them today.

Best hope is he goes 2011 on the Dublets and Vince Carter goes half man half amazing turn the clock back for the ages. Because they hardly have anybody else.

I agree with your assessment of the Spurs recent play but I'm not sure rest is the answer. I'd like to see them get dialed in for the playoffs but I want them healthy. Tricky decisions to be made.

[AFMadison]

Where is Benoit at?

[Ditty]

Don't think Warriors lose to Memphis in either of those two games.

Rest our guys, don't show them anything except what everyone else is doing by switching everything.

I'm fine with the second seed. Play every one Thursday and Sunday at least. Then rest your guys the last two games of the season against OKC and Dallas.

[Ditty]

Where is Benoit at?

He's offline now :lol

Signed into his primary Lakers account probably.

[100%duncan]

I dont think they lose to memphis tbh

This is one year where it plays somewhat evenly in our favor; thought that 1st seed is hard to kick out of bed.

[pookenstein]

Not likely with the Lakers being demolished and the shitbag shooting 2-12...

[LongtimeSpursFan]

I'd prefer for seedings to stay exactly as they are now. Warriors-Jazz first roind matchup would be interesting. Spurs-Mavs matchup should be sweep or 4-1.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Draymond just confirmed that the Warriors didn't actually lose the game.

[$pursDynasty]

What's their ESPN calculated percentage of breaking the Bulls record now? :lol

[Spurtacular]

So, now the Spurs have two shots at stopping the Dubs from solely attaining the record.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Draymond just confirmed that the Warriors didn't actually lose the game.

Also mentioned that the record has become psychological.

[Spurtacular]

Wait, some Muslim fuckhead I've never heard of on the shitty wolves scored 35 in addition to Wiggins 32 to hand the Warriors their second home loss in three games? :lmao

124 points? Yea, that's some lockdown defense there.

[TheGreatYacht]

Draymond just confirmed that the Warriors didn't actually lose the game.
Was he breathing from his mouth?

[808]

Also mentioned that the record has become psychological.

He just confirmed, season is 82 games, and he is bored.

[808]

Was he breathing from his mouth?

He didn't close it once for the whole interview.

OKC might rest their players as well for Tuesday's game.

[mudyez]

imagine them finishing 71-11 and us going 41-0 at home

who would have thought, that we could be the team, that finishes with the insane all time record?

not that pop gives a shit :)

i wonder what the spurs record be if they kept the core from last season without adding any new players

or

new players with 1yr experience of the system... (i think spurs can pushed a stronger record next season)

gsw god mode, yet finishes with same record as spurs?

[hater]

Worriers have no way of finishing less than 71 wins. Spurs have no way of finishing with more than 70. Impossible and not gonna happen. Why would we play our stars to death for an I.possible task???? No way Shaq is basically right.


I think we will play our guys in Golden State but Pop will bullshit so heavily it will be a loss unless worriers completely choke.

I think we will win at our home only once more. We will go 41-1. Worriers will finish 72-10 tyng bulls record.

[will_spurs]

Worriers have no way of finishing less than 71 wins. Spurs have no way of finishing with more than 70.

That would require a collapse of epic proportions but it's definitely not impossible.

[hater]

That would require a collapse of epic proportions but it's definitely not impossible.

It would also require Pop playing our guys to death till last game. As I said, impossible

41--1 is impossible for a regular season home record.

To win 73 and then lose in the playoffs would be fodder for ages. :lol
That said, I want their asses beaten again in San Antonio on April 10th.

[SpursDynasty]

I think the Warriors are getting exposed on national TV as frauds. From the Warriors games I've seen on national TV lately, they don't seem to have a strategy or gameplan in place. Acting cocky and chewing your mouthguard is not a strategy. Taking three point shots at random is not a strategy. The Warriors have some real testing to deal with over the next 5 days.

[Spurs9]

I cant believe they won this game, I turned it off at 7 minutes thinking minny would lose, wow :wow

[SupremeGuy]
