And we're starting Matt Bonner and giving Gary Neal regular minutes.

Jordan's Bulls wouldn't leave open their three point shooters, and get caught on screens every fucking time. Memphis and Miami would kill these warriors.

Spurs can definitely win, but you see some of the problems many of us said GS presents. It's mind blowing as to why someone would rather play this team over Denver???

Spurs need to pick up the energy level first and foremost. They are a step slow on defense, loose balls, ect...Then they need to figure out what they want to do defensively. They make so many mistakes in this series with poor decisions, rotations being late and just a general lack of ability at times.

Hit open looks.

The Spurs have yet to play like themselves. Defense scrambling, missing FTs and open 3 pointers. The Warriors are not, by any means, the better team. Curry and Thompson have shot lights out on two nights, the rest has been a Spurs self-destruction. Poor decisions and failure to execute at the rim being big ones.

The series is 1-1, which might as well be 0-0. This Spurs team has faced adversity before, and they'll rise to meet it. Whether or not they prevail will be decided by at the earliest Game 5. For now, calm your fucking tits and step away from the fucking ledge. Get on the Heat bandwagon if you want more reassurance for a victory.

Remind me again of how many rings we have since 07?

No doubt. It's going 6 or 7 imo, but I think GS takes the next two at home and then we win game 5 back at home. Then it's theirs to lose at Oracle.

This is a jumpshooting series, and as of now, the Warriors are the better shooting team. Hopefully Spurs get hot and Warriors get cold.

You think?

If the plan is for Klay Thompson and Steph Curry to go apeshit every game, the Warriors are a 70-win team.

Never underestimate the heart of a champion

Good night to you too :toast

:cry We're not supposed to lose even one game during a series like most teams normally do during The Playoffs. :cry


Looks like it's time for me to log off of ST for the rest of the night so I can avoid The biopolar Spurs fans' meltdowns that'll be taking place on into the wee morning hours. smh

The Spurs* have zero rings since 07 and literally what in the actual fuck does that have to do with anything I said?

They certainly have a more consistent attack, there will be few nights where Curry and Thompson don't bring it. Our guards can't defend for shit and that's making a huge difference causing our entire defense to be one big rotation that throws useless double teams.

Spurs proved they are the better team in the second half. The Spurs have been playing with preseason intensity in the first halves in both games one and two and have put themselves in this hole. I have no idea why they have been playing like that. Nothing to do with Goldenstate being the better team. Spurs finally started playing with some intensity in the second half. The series is not over yet, don't be so soft.

Spurs need to shoot better and keep the intensity up on defense.

Stay the course guys, everyone will pile on us because we either get lucky or we're old and suck. We'll win game 3 and they'll say well GS didn't play well, meanwhile GS wins tonight and it was because they played lights out not that we sucked the big one on D in the first half and then missed wide open shots and FT's. We'll get it back in GS but this series is going 6 now.

This damn series basically comes down to covering those 2 fucking guys. That's it. That 1st half defensive strategy of helping on guys like Barnes, Bogut, and Green was idiotic. Whoever is covering Curry and Thompson needs to stick like fucking glue to them. Ignore what is going on with everyone else. Yeah TP might get posted up by Barnes or whoever, but I'll take that over doubling Barnes, Green, Bogut, etc. and then it leading to a WIDE open 3 by Curry or Thompson...

Need I remind you, they are 0 for 5 since you became a fan. Maybe you should hop off the bandwagon. :toast

Yeah because winning rings is just so easy.. It took the best player on the planet 10 years and moving to South Beach to team up with a HOF running mate to win his 1st..

It's just one game. Spurs have lost one of the first two at home before, and still won the series. Spurs will win this series in 6 or 7, though I won't be that surprised if they win both games in Golden State. Spurs need to wake up, and I'm sure they will. I feel that today they thought they could just cruise, and play hard in the finale minutes. I'm expecting a sense of urgency. However, if Spurs lose this series, then the biggest thing they need to work on this off-season is the play of Kawhi Leonard. We need Leonard to be a star next year.

we learned how to play defense in the second half. that should carry over. spurs in 5.

I agree. The open 3's will lose this series for the Spurs. And WTF would anyone ever double team Bogut for god's sake?

If the Spurs could play with half a give a shit when they get down 18, the whole game, they would be up 2-0 and getting ready to end in 5.

Now theyll be lucky to push it to game 6.

Seriously, the Spurs are 5-1 in the playoffs right now and people are abandoning ship because Golden State has played more aggressively, shot better thus far, and took 1 of 2 in SA. So the fuck what. The Spurs are healthy, and they have had inconsistent successes in both games. They'll go to Oakland and they'll compete, because they're the fucking Spurs and the series is only 1-1.

Confidence is contagious
