Fuk i wouldn't mind denver either. Toss up tbh
Curry's defense is laughable. Parker is gonna do work.
I wonder which team has the better homecourt. GS fans are the best around but Denver has that altitude advantage.
I don't have a strong preference. Honestly, I expect a Spurs sweep either way. It's not overconfidence because 1) the Big 3 are all looking 100% healthy, and 2) the Spurs are looking deep again, with Joseph playing good backup-PG and Baynes getting minutes at C.
Why would you use the Spurs from 2 years ago as a barometer? The 2013 Spurs are way better than the 2011 Spurs. If anything, use last year as a barometer. We swept the Clippers in round 2 after their previous series had gone 7 games. This year will be very similar, as Denver/GS could go 7 games, while the Spurs are waiting and resting. I'd say the 2012 Clippers were better than either the Nuggets or Warriors this year. So with the Spurs playing well, yes we should expect a Spurs sweep or 5 games max.
The Nuggets and Warriors are playoff fodder because they have no superstars. This is the kind of team that real contenders want to play. We should be so lucky.
imagine danny tryng to guard steph curry...hope cojo would get that honor tbh
Curry going apeshit. Lets see if that Spurs defense is for real.
Nuggets
Curry/Thompson would demolish Parker/Ginobili/Green on the defensive end. Closing games would be iffy since Ginobili doesn't match up well with anyone on the defensive end.
I think the Warriors have the higher ceiling anyways. If either of Curry/Thompson go unconscious they'll almost certainly win.
Starting to lean towards Denver as I'm watching Curry go off :wow
I know it's early, but here's an interesting thing I just thought about. The Spurs could possibly go through all California teams in the West to get to the NBA Finals. They just beat the Lakers. Golden State could be the next opponent, and if they make it passed them, it could possibly be the Clippers....
Fuck, looks like Splitter and the rest of the boys won't get too much rest if Curry and the Dubs keep shooting like they are against the Nugs right now. That series might be over soon.
of course after i say warriors curry starts going apeshit :lol
So upset.
Steve Blake blew by Parker at times, and you think he can stay in front of Curry :lol.
":cry b-but Parker only shows up to play against real point guards :cry"
Ginobili is too slow to defend against Thompson. With all of Ginobili's gambling, enjoy all those 3s Thompson gonna drain.
Anyone want to change his opinion?

Warriors but damn Curry is in an incredible scoring mode right now. They'd be a tough out for sure.
