Spurs vs Warrior Prediction

[apalisoc_9]

Spurs in 6 or less

[jermaine]

Spurs in 7

[ECOV]

golden state in my opinion are going to underestimate the spurs . spurs in 6

[Seventyniner]

Brain says Warriors in 6, heart says fuck it, Spurs in 6.

[spurtech09]

I say Spurs should rest KL till game 3 in SA?

[noles1983]

4-2 GS

[100%duncan]

Spurs in 6 tbh. Fuck the WARRIORS

[jermaine]

If we get that LMA every gm, Spurs in 6!!!

[SPURt]

I'm a homer. Sweep.

[Ron Swanson]

Spurs in 3. GS will say "fuck it" and forfeit after 3 beatdowns.

[Trainwreck2100]

Brain says Warriors in 6, heart says fuck it, Spurs in 6.

agree, gonna suck losing to those frontrunning douchebags who refuse to play a healthy team.

[HarlemHeat37]

Leaning Warriors in 5, but wouldn't be shocked if they sweep, tbh..I'll go with 5 out of respect for Pop's game-planning and the veteran guys on the team..

[jhfenton]

If the Spurs play with the spirit they showed tonight with Kawhi on the court, they have a chance.

But I wouldn't put money on it. Warriors in 6.

[Trainwreck2100]

Leaning Warriors in 5, but wouldn't be shocked if they sweep, tbh..I'll go with 5 out of respect for Pop's game-planning and the veteran guys on the team..

you forgetting mike brown is on the other end?

[DPG21920]

Leaning Warriors in 5, but wouldn't be shocked if they sweep, tbh..I'll go with 5 out of respect for Pop's game-planning and the veteran guys on the team..

You can't do that my man :lol. You said SA would lose every game by double digits.

[HarlemHeat37]

you forgetting mike brown is on the other end?

In-game coaching is pretty overrated, tbh..

[DPG21920]

I say Warriors in 5 unless SA can rip off game 1.

[timtonymanu]

Warriors in 5. But my heart says Spurs in 7

[HarlemHeat37]

You can't do that my man :lol. You said SA would lose every game by double digits.

I got inspired by tonight's performance, albeit against a team that quit..going with Warriors in 5, but Spurs will compete..

[NASpurs]

The hyped up Spurs fan in me says Spurs in seven but I'm also wearing silver and black colored tinted glasses. :lol

[ElNono]

Dubs in 5 without Kawhi, in 6 with Kawhi, tbh...

But fuck the Warriors, time to enjoy this until Sunday

[lilbthebasedgod]

Warriors in 4

[Trainwreck2100]

In-game coaching is pretty overrated, tbh..

if there is some strategy Pop cooked up, ala tonight what he did with capel, it will be up to brown to counter in game.

[spurtech09]

Well all I know is Spurs are not going to lay down but I still have Warriors in 5......

[baseline bum]

Golden State in 5 probably. The Spurs winning this series would be a much bigger upset than when Detroit smashed LA in 04.

[turkish spurs fan]

spurs in 6

[spursistan]

Leaning Warriors in 5, but wouldn't be shocked if they sweep, tbh..I'll go with 5 out of respect for Pop's game-planning and the veteran guys on the team..
Same thought..If Kawhi is banged up they gonna get swept, and it could be ugly ( ie 2001 Lakers style)..Otherwise, Warriors in 5 with Spurs winning one at home with huge Leonard effort + our bigs owning the glass..

[Diego20]

Spurs in 3 imo

[gambit1990]

spurs beating the warriors is obviously a long shot. i'm going with the spurs though. haven't decided how many games yet. was right about spurs overs grizzlies in 6, and the spurs beating the rockets in 6 after tony went down.

[TheDoctor]

SPURS IN 5 tbh fwiw imho

Fuck the Worriers.

[gameFACE]

Spurs in 6. They have more than a punchers chance to steal Game 1 at GS. They'll be pumped from this win and getting Kawhi back. Only two days off which is decent but doesn't take away their rhythm.

[resistanze]

Warriors in 5 is the logical pick, but hope the Spurs shock the world tbh

[DPG21920]

spurs beating the warriors is obviously a long shot. i'm going with the spurs though. haven't decided how many games yet. was right about spurs overs grizzlies in 6, and the spurs beating the rockets in 6 after tony went down.

You mean when Kawhi went down? Or just TP?

[sananspursfan21]

I'm homing here but Spurs in 6!!

[spursreport]

Spurs in 6. They've faced better teams and dealt with more playoff adversity while the Warriors (who choke when the pressure is at its peak) have had a cupcake road. I can't believe people here still think the Warriors will easily win a championship without dealing with major adversity. That shit has never existed. The demons from last year will return in this round. This is still the same Warrior team that tightens up the longer and tougher a series gets.

[DPG21920]

Warriors in 5 is the logical pick, but hope the Spurs shock the world tbh

These are the two best teams (arguably in the league) in the West and finally SA gets their shot at GS. Really sucks TP is injured and Kawhi legit hobbled obviously. GS fully healthy and rested. Hopefully SA just does their thing though.

[Texas_Ranger]

I thought the Spurs will get eliminated in the 2nd round, so they already exceed my expectations... I'd love beating the Warriors, but it will be very, very tough... I think it'll be Warriors in 5, but I hope I am wrong.

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors possess Houston's scariest elements(speed and volume 3-point shooting), but they also have the 2nd best defense in the NBA, in addition to paint scoring and 2 top 5 players in the NBA:lol not to mention Draymond Green, one of the most intimidating players in pro sports..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

We already know that Kawhi will provide 25+ points a night with top-notch defense. If LMA shows up like he did tonight, then Spurs have a shot but it'll be 6 games minimum.

[Uriel]

Warriors in 5.

Though to be fair, even the 2014 Spurs, 2007 Spurs, 2005 Spurs, 2003 Spurs, and 1999 Spurs would lose to this Warriors team. They're that good.

[hater]

We just beat the Rockets by 40 in houston without Kawhi and Parker

I dont fucking know anymore nigga :lmao

Any of these choices look good :lol

[ducks]

Simons guard curry like harden spurs have a shot

[HarlemHeat37]

We just beat the Rockets by 40 in houston without Kawhi and Parker

I dont fucking know anymore nigga :lmao

Any of these choices look good :lol
:lol

[Arcadian]

My objective prediction is Warriors in 7.

I'm holding out hope for Spurs in 6.

[resistanze]

These are the two best teams (arguably in the league) in the West and finally SA gets their shot at GS. Really sucks TP is injured and Kawhi legit hobbled obviously. GS fully healthy and rested. Hopefully SA just does their thing though.

Yup, I know you can only play who's in front on you, but cmon. GSW is already insanely stacked, and they getting the luck side of injuries too.

If the Spurs win, I promise to walk into work with my Duncan jersey (I live in SF) :lol

[gambit1990]

You mean when Kawhi went down? Or just TP?
this is what i had to say the day after tony went down:

i had the rockets in 6, thought the spurs would win game 2... wanted to wait until there was official word of the injury before changing my prediction.

changing it to spurs in 6.
i didn't post worrying about the spurs getting it done without kawhi.

i also called simmons stepping up in this series, said he would play good in houston. he delivered.

[Robz4000]

Homer pick: Spurs in 6

Reality: Dubs in 5

[gambit1990]

i hope kawhi recovers quick. he's an injured spur that we need.

[spursistan]

Pop vs Mike Brown should at least guarantee us one game, no? :lol

[paperboy77]

WTF! GS in 5 or 4? MuthaFKn Spurs in 6 or 5 baby! Are you telling me those fools are just gonna shoot lights out over our pretty damn great defenders? Also they have no interior defense. Even McGee is a shaqtin a fool hall of famer. The dubs are going to be confused ... Is it currys team or Durant? Plus their coach sux. Remember guys everyone said TP was our major flaw... well he gone now. Of course that is if KL is >90% and he doesn't get punked by Barnes. SA will stick it to the Golden gay fags in 6. Ain't gonna rook us! KL will dominate Green.

[$pursDynasty]

I voted Spurs in 6 off the high of the victory tonight, but tbh I really think if the Spurs were 100% healthy (MVParker and KingSlayer) they could take the Dubs out in 5.

[pgardn]

Drunk predicting due to drubbing Houston without KL and TP I would take the Spurs. But Honestly, Houston was absolute shit tonight, it was not all us. They are pathetic. That is a team and a coach to really quit on. How can their fans take that cowardly effort?

[RD2191]

If LMA plays like he did tonight then it's a toss up series imo.

[SpurPadre]

Brain says Dubs in 5 with 2 of the losses being close...but miracles can happen.

[100%duncan]

We just beat the Rockets by 40 in houston without Kawhi and Parker

I dont fucking know anymore nigga :lmao

Any of these choices look good :lol

:lmao

[therealtruth]

Simons guard curry like harden spurs have a shot

It's worth considering at times going with Murray, Simmons, Green, and Kawhi to lock down the Warriors defensively. It also allows you to switch defensively.

[soxxx]

Spurs win, I hope everyone books the Warriors as heavy favorites, put the pressure on them. The Warriors are not that much better than what the Spurs are, the Spurs have been severely underrated.

[ginobilized]

Pop vs Brown, gotta pick Spurs if strategy comes into play.

Spurs in 6

[RodNIc91]

Warriors in 5.

Though to be fair, even the 2014 Spurs, 2007 Spurs, 2005 Spurs, 2003 Spurs, and 1999 Spurs would lose to this Warriors team. They're that good.

The 2014 Spurs were on a mission. In my head, no way they lose to this Warriors team.

[RodNIc91]

GSW in 7 if Kawhi is able to go at least 80% and the Spurs play like today. Otherwise, GSW 5

[Silver&Black]

I'm a homer. Sweep.

[look_at_g_shred]

Spurs in 5.

[BD24]

Warriors in 5 tbh. Maybe we win two if Kawhi plays his ass off.

[ace3g]

Now time for David Lee to reveal all the Warriors' secrets for game planning!!!

[313]

I said if we made it out the second round we would win it all, so i'm sticking by it. Spurs in 5. 6 if Kawhi doesn't play game 1.

[Mark Celibate]

I think the Warriors will complete the Western Conference hat trick and sweep San Antonio as well, tbh

I think the games will be competitive but their roster is historically stacked and I just can't see San Antonio's roster beating Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green in a 48 minute game currently. IMO, the only way you're beating this team is to get in their head a little bit and the Cavs are the only team that can really do that

[HarlemHeat37]

Last time Spurs went up against a historically great team:

mDXE1x_EShs

Horrible memories:lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Warriors in 6. This Warriors team is so good. Kawhi is going to have to go full MJ for us to win this series.

[ElNono]

Last time Spurs went up against a historically great team:

mDXE1x_EShs

Horrible memories:lol

That was different IMO... that was a historically great talent in his prime, tbh... Shaq, Fish.. great combo...

Dubs are more of a historical "team" per-se...

[100%duncan]

That was different IMO... that was a historically great talent in his prime, tbh... Shaq, Fish.. great combo...

Dubs are more of a historical "team" per-se...

Are you kidding, all of them are in their prime. But you're probably kidding.

[ElNono]

Are you kidding, all of them are in their prime. But you're probably kidding.

What I'm saying is that everything revolved around a dominant guy like Shaq in that Lakers team... when he declined, the team declined...

The Dubs are super stacked and much less reliant on just one dominant guy... it could be KD one day, Curry the next, Klay, Iggy....

[tmtcsc]

I'm not messing with this poll. The Spurs will have to play their best basketball to win the series. They are going to have to play almost perfect 4 times. That said, GS is due for a loss or 4.

[100%duncan]

What I'm saying is that everything revolved around a dominant guy like Shaq in that Lakers team... when he declined, the team declined...

The Dubs are super stacked and much less reliant on just one dominant guy... it could be KD one day, Curry the next, Klay, Iggy....

Which is a harder task to solve imo

[ElNono]

Which is a harder task to solve imo

yeah... I said it was different, not easier :lol

[tmtcsc]

I want to see Simmons dunk on David West's head.

[100%duncan]

yeah... I said it was different, not easier :lol

Mah bad

[Chillen]

Spurs have a chance, everyone expects the Warriors to win and all the pressure is on the Warriors to beat these Spurs now. It will either be Spurs in 6 or Warriors in 7.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I really hope that the Spurs will win I don't think they will, but I'm damn proud of this team tonight knocking off the Rockets tonight the way they did.

[Horse]

Spurs in 6. Remember this warriors team with Durant hasn't won shit yet. All 3 of these fucks disappear when the heat is on I could see it happen again.

[apalisoc_9]

That was different IMO... that was a historically great talent in his prime, tbh... Shaq, Fish.. great combo...

Dubs are more of a historical "team" per-se...

Nice..Shaq + Role players man. Dominant combo.

[Mark Celibate]

Are you kidding, all of them are in their prime. But you're probably kidding.

rofl, can't believe you missed the elephant in the room, not-so-subtle troll job in Nono's post

[100%duncan]

rofl, can't believe you missed the elephant in the room, not-so-subtle troll job in Nono's post

:depressed

[rastaspur]

It is going 6 games. Spurs in 6 or warriors in 6. Spurs pull a cassious clay and shock the world.

[HarlemHeat37]

The only potential advantage the Spurs could have is on the boards, tbh..I can't see anything else..even Kawhi's output will be negated by Dominos, most likely..

All those Danny Green drives in the Rockets series won't be there anymore, wing players going up against horrid defenders like Lou Williams won't be there anymore, etc..

[kaji157]

In 5 baby

[Mr. Body]

To be fair to the universe, Durant should collide with Thompson and break each other's kneecaps and be out for the rest of the year.

[DMC]

It is going 6 games. Spurs in 6 or warriors in 6. Spurs pull a cassious clay and shock the world.

They will shock the shit out of me if they win the series. They will give me a cardiac arrest if they win the Finals. Writers will spend 10 years trying to explain that one.

[Perry Mason]

Spurs in 6. 7 is possible, but I'm riding with 6.

Then they will beat the Cavs in the finals in 6.

4 series, all won in 6. For the Spurs 6th championship. You heard it hear first folks.

[Rummpd]

See thread I started last night - Spurs in 6

[hater]

The only question is if Spurs can win 1 or 2 thats it

I will give Pop the benefit of the doubt and assume Kawhi is 85ish percent

Warriors in 6

[hater]

We are playing with House money so our players shold be loose. I will celebrate every win like a championship

Enjoy it

[SASdynasty!]

Spurs in 6 again...let's make this a 2003 run tbh

[TheDoctor]

SPURS IN 5 tbh fwiw imho

Fuck the Worriers.

[spurraider21]

Warriors possess Houston's scariest elements(speed and volume 3-point shooting), but they also have the 2nd best defense in the NBA, in addition to paint scoring and 2 top 5 players in the NBA:lol not to mention Draymond Green, one of the most intimidating players in pro sports..its truly amazing that you're the only person on this forum who's allowed to say positive things about draymond without getting grilled about it :lol

[BOHOLANO#21]

Spurs in 6.

[SAGirl]

Going completely homer bc at this point, why not?
Spurs in 6.

[SAGirl]

I want to see Simmons dunk on David West's head.
:stirpot:
Dude is hungry.
Yeah!!!
I wouldn't underestimate him.

[LkrFan]

Spurs in 6

[Phenomanul]

Spurs in 6. 7 is possible, but I'm riding with 6.

Then they will beat the Cavs in the finals in 6.

4 series, all won in 6. For the Spurs 6th championship. You heard it hear first folks.

Which would be akin to the great Spurs' run in 2003.

Except the Finals opponent this time around would be a bit stronger than the 2003 Nets. Richard Jefferson would be on the loosing end in both scenarios.

[siraulo23]

I picked Rockets in 6 and thought it was over after game 1, welp...

Warriors in 5 my pick this series. Homer pick of course spurs sweep win every game by double digits

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck the Warriors, but I see them winning in 5.

[-21-]

Going completely homer bc at this point, why not?
Spurs in 6.

[therealtruth]

This matchup has been years in the making. 2015 Spurs couldn't get past the Clippers and 2016 it was the Thunder. It should be good.

[BillMc]

Spurs in 6

[spursistan]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C_l8Ys3UAAAsqPV.jpg

It is imperative that they get a split in Oracle in the first two games with this schedule, preferably win game 1 or this could be a really short series..

[Hoops Czar]

What I'm saying is that everything revolved around a dominant guy like Shaq in that Lakers team... when he declined, the team declined...

The Dubs are super stacked and much less reliant on just one dominant guy... it could be KD one day, Curry the next, Klay, Iggy....

Correction.... when he left, the team declined.

[weeks]

a lot of you are gonna be shocked when you realize how much better the warriors are than the rockets

[TheyCallMePro]

If you think the Warriors are going to win in 4 or 6, you're crazy.

The last time the Spurs lost a closeout game at home was in 2010 to Phoenix. Highly doubt we'd lose a series at home. We have too much pride for that. Could see us losing in 5, or this going 7, but not ending in 4 or 6.

[daslicer]

If Spurs can split 2-2 after 4 games then they will win the series. I think the Warriors would crumble in that situation since they are not a team that handles adversity well. If the Spurs go down 0-3 or 1-3 after 4 games then it's over.

[spursistan]

If the Spurs avoid the sweet and stay competitive in a couple more games, I would be glad with the outcome, tbh..

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Spurs: soon to be First team in NBA history to overcome 0-3 series deficit.

[gambit1990]

been right about spurs in 6 the past two rounds.

going with spurs in 6.

[tholdren]

Spurs in 6 or less

double that

[GSH]

Simmons plays like the first game of the season and green hits 3's? Spurs can win. Without that I don't see it. Maybe if Murray goes ape-shit crazy and the Dubs aren't prepared for it.

I would like to see Pop let Bertans and Dedmon play enforcer and get Green to lose his cool, but Pop won't do that.

[UZER]

I would like to see Pop let Bertans and Dedmon play enforcer and get Green to lose his cool, but Pop won't do that.

I hope pop gives him a go at it, even if it gets chippy. But Dedmon will get ejected and Green will get a delay of game warning. :lol

[hooperflash]

Spurs in 7, I love the Spurs in 5 predictions though :flag:

[Splits]

Gut: Dubs in 5
Heart: Spurs in 7

[Spurtacular]

golden state in my opinion are going to underestimate the spurs . spurs in 6

Would probably require 2 of 3 wins in GS.

[HI-FI]

I certainly believe Spurs can win this. Spurs in 7.

[jermaine]

Spurs in 6

Lmmfao.... I wonder was that the straw that broke the camel's back!?! That Timmy block!!!

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

That is my thoughts too. Spurs can be scary cause they have nothing to lose and have some confidence.
