Let's get it in.

[Mr. Body]

I can see a blowout, similar to Game One vs. the Rockets. Pop may view it as feeling-out, and the Warriors are extremely rested and feeling like their dicks are ten feet tall.

[Horse]

I could also see us jumping on them since they've been laying around after feasting on shitty teams.

[Arcadian]

Every asshole on ESPN has us getting swept.

Fuck 'em. Shock the world.

[apalisoc_9]

If Kawhi can have one all time great performance in this series and The spurs win a game..He probably cements himself asbthe 2nd best in the league..not that this hasnt been argued by everyone the last three weeks.

[ElNono]

Win! :flag:

[ducks]

After the Spurs routed the Houston Rockets on Thursday night to advance, the Westgate opened San Antonio as a +900 underdog and Golden State as a massive -1600 favorite to win the series.

A $100 bet on the Warriors to win the series would win $6.25, while that same $100 bet on the Spurs would win $900.

same people who had Houston by 9 last night:rolleyes

[keithington1]

This series is going to be fun. We gotta get one in GS. Game one 1 would be great.

[TampaDude]

This series is going to be fun. We gotta get one in GS. Game one 1 would be great.

^ this

The Dubs might be a bit rusty after the long layoff, so if we can jump on them early, we have a chance to steal Game 1. Not holding my breath, though. I loves my Spurs and all, but GS is a juggernaut. I don't expect us to take 4 of 7 from them. I'll take it, but I don't expect it. Then again, I expected us to get blown out by Houston last night, so...

[Mr. Body]

Every asshole on ESPN has us getting swept.

Fuck 'em. Shock the world.

I'd be very surprised at a sweep. I think the Spurs can gum them up enough to win two.

[Thunder1]

With an energized LA & Simmons, the Spurs may be able to pull out a Game 1 surprise..

[Joseph Kony]

Spurs are riding high and the Warriors may be rusty, Kawhi having the last game off will be a blessing imo. Spurs best chance to win a game in Oakland is game 1, Warriors are cocky and have been laying around for a week while the spurs are still fresh and loose...I think spurs take game 1

[gambit1990]

can't wait for this series to start :flag:

[SnakeBoy]

Worst game thread I've ever seen on ST.

Hopefully a non faggot starts a new one.

[Chinook]

It seems like dabom is willing to sacrifice Kawhi to keep the streak going. That's a real team player right there.

Kawhi told me he be back at 80%, and to make the GT.

No idea Sugar K was into S&M

[bklynspursfan]

This is the game to steal. They've been off a while, plus it's an earlier game.

Somehow we gotta come out with the same energy and focus we did in G1 of 82.

[TheRemix]

Haha fuck those ESPN analysts. They kept saying "s-s-spurs can't keep up with houstons pace!" "They're too old!"
Honestly we need to roll with a big and mobile lineup. Pau and lee can't be on the floor too much in this series. There has to be a lot of switching going on and the spurs have to be very focused. One slip up on defense is a 3.

[dbestpro]

What is the over under on how many fouls Curry draws by jumping into defenders as he shoots a three?

[daledondale]

[Holden_Caulfield]

its a different feeling that we are the underdog for once. really gonna enjoy the series regardless. theres more pressure for the warriors to win so hopefully they crack again :lol

just like game 6 when everyone thought we were gonna lose and we shocked the world and won at houston by 39 :bobo

I know I shouldn't be surprised bc its BSPN, but the amount of disrespect is laughable. All the questions today were "will spurs win 1 game?" "will this be a series?". If it were up to them they'd have warriors in 3.

[spurs10]

Obviously Kawhi's ankle is a big deal. I can only hope he is good to go. With a healthy KL we can beat these guys!!

[MAxEric]

No matter what other said, I just support my Spurs and believe them can win GSW!
GoSpursGo

Murray, Simmons, Anderson, LMA, this is your stage to perform yourself!

[TheDoctor]

...without Parker, it's a loss. Warriors are just on a roll. Unless Curry is injured, they will win. it's the warriors that have the mental edge...


Warriors are killing everybody and have impressed me. They are looking otherworldly. The Spurs however, have not looked as godlike in comparison....

Bring it on losers :makemyday

Mills was still on the bench and Gary Neal(or Cojo?) was the back up PG in 2013 iirc

[313]

Honestly i'm just glad we're getting more spurs basketball for a couple more weeks. The last couple years were rough with the early exits. Especially '15.

[TheDoctor]

Mills was still on the bench and Gary Neal(or Cojo?) was the back up PG in 2013 iirc
Yeah, 2013 Patty was the Fatty. Competing w/ HOTS in that department.

[Nathan89]

If we lose at least all we have to deal with is 1 series and then it's on to looking forward what the Spurs will do in the draft, free agency, summer league, and next year.

I don't take those cucks seriously any more.

[Ice009]

I don't ever go into any series not expecting to win (2009 being the exception where Manu was out). With the way the role players have stepped up in these playoffs, I think we have a chance. You never give up before the series or even one game is played. You keep fighting all the way. Don't take anything for granted, just keep fighting. If you want it, you've gotta do everything you can to take it. I believe these guys (Spurs) want it. I think they're very hungry.

[Leonardpart6]

I know that the Spurs tend to play close to the vest when comes to player availability and injuries. However, I am concerned that I haven't heard anything about the specific injuries that Kawhi is dealing with. What is going on with his knee and ankle? I think that if these were minor injuries we would have heard the specific diagnosis. Having heard very little, I am nervous.

[bklynspursfan]

Man I want to shock the world so badly and humble these guys.

Stealing Game 1 has usually been the path for the massive underdog to make it a series in an unexpected way. I remember all the "Dubs in 5" predictions against OKC last season, same for the Spurs in 2013 vs Heat..

Pop and the coaching staff may have been game-planning for this team since the summer, maybe even since 2015.. So let's see what they have in store for them.

A big part maybe the biggest part especially for LA will be what they let gaymond get away with. If he can bite, scratch, claw and kick balls like usual we'll be in trouble. But if they call it down the middle he should foul out every game.

Exactly. I want to hammer this point home. A lot of the posters here are softer than the players they are calling out. A lot of the posters here act like bigger pussies than the players they are calling soft.

Man the fuck up and stop being pussies. A lot of posters here have checked out before the series has even started.

This is going to be a tough series, but the only thing I have on my mind is win. I don't go into any series against anyone thinking anything else.

[Slippy]

Team d clicking like it was game 6. Dominate the boards. Youngsters stepping up with spurs bench outdoing theirs.

Oh, I'll be cheering the Spurs as always. Just being realistic and trying to not get my hopes up too much. The Warriors would be tough even if we were at full strength, and now Parker is out and KL might not be at 100%. Hopefully, we'll all be pleasantly surprised. We'll see what happens.

Really hope :lma can keep it up. He's been great the last few games.

he was healthy the majority of the season.

started and won a string of games in january (?) when parker was out. took parker being out in the RS for murray to get real PT. same for the these playoffs.

I'd love to come out and smack these primadonnas in the mouth. Including West. One can only hope that he doesn't go 31 for 32 on jumpers against us, only to completely disappear in the Finals.

Can't remember the last time not a single "expert" picked the Spurs. Not even against Heat in 2013. Only one guy even says will push it to 7.

Let's shock the world and win this thing outright. :flag:

My father and I had a bit of an agreement already. We gathered the family in one location to have a family bbq to celebrate mothers day. Plus we can still watch the game. LOL!!! We fellas are grilling with the game on while the ladies are relaxing. It is nice. A win for everyone.

Go Spurs Go, let's shock the world!

I'm honestly just thrilled that I get to watch SA in another conference finals vs an amazing team. Sure, once it starts if the Spurs get their a** whooped it will suck but I honestly do appreciate such a great season.

[siraulo23]

Damn, the Spurs definitely gonna get whooped in game 1

Its mothers day so its gonna be 10x worse. KD mama and Ayesha gonna be on screen like every time durant and curry scores

60 wins, the WCF and getting to humiliate D'Antoni in yet another new and interesting way? In the first season post Timmy? The year is already a success.

Agreed. Could never have imagined enjoying a season post-Tim so much. It was difficult because it's not the Spurs we know, but still awesome and hats off to an organization handling rebuilding and contending so well. It is incredible.

If Spurs can steal either game 1 or 2 I like the Spurs chances......Game 1 would be the Spurs best chance to steal one since the Warriors are probably going to be rusty.....That is just my opinion though.....

You would think one of them would have picked the spurs so if the upset occurred he/she would look like a genuis compared to all the other talking heads. Nope.

13 of 22 have it going 5 games. Kind of disrespectful imo.

It will be so sweet if the spurs pull it off.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have to play just as good of defense as they did vs HOU and just live with the fact sometimes guys like Curry/KD are still going to hit.

What they can't do is turn the ball over like they were against HOU the first 4 games. Just rebound, control pace the best you can and hope LMA catches fire along with Kawhi.
