Lol no way we take the next 2 at Oracle. Their crowd & arena makes ours look like a cemetery. They're going to be so hyped. If Spurs win this thing, it's going 6 or 7.Quote:

The Spurs FO simply hasn't done enough to address the various limitations with this roster - and those limitations are certainly showing up in this series.
Gs can't play better... Spurs can ... Klay career night to win.. Spurs in 6..fuck every dingle chicken shot cliff jumper on this fourm.. PUSSYS

But.. The Bulls didn't beat the Heat in a convincing fashion, like the Warriors just beat the Spurs. And! In the two wins from Spurs/Heat, the Heat played exactly how they were expected to, in the Spurs win, the Spurs had to pull out some 2011 Game 6 miracle type play just to win. I'm not saying the Spurs won't be able to solve this team and pull this series out.. I'm just saying, this team is athletic, and they are snipers, those are the two things the Spurs struggle to defend.
This was never going to be an easy post-season, but the Lakers' terrible squad had everyone spoiled, expecting another sweep in the second round like last year. The GSW is a tough tough out, the next round will be tougher, and it will take god-like team performance, to defeat the final boss.
Don't understand why Pop went away from Diaw who did such a great job on Curry (quick feet). If GSW have Bogut and Landry on the floor, Spurs can't go with Duncan/Splitter and 4 smalls (Leonard at the 4). They'll get killed on the boards. Klay getting 14 rebounds is unacceptable. Spurs also are not moving the ball and too much iso. Can't tell the last game where another team out-assisted them. Spurs are the #1 team in assists in the RG - where is the passing? Parker and Manu had nothing at the end.
1. No Bonner/Blair
2. Play Diaw - won't get killed on the board by Landry/Green, more passing/assists
3. Less Neal (2 of 9 is pitiful) and he gives up so much on defense, why'd you run away from that corner 3 before Parker lost possession of the ball
4. Green - get your head out of your **s, practise those 3s - you were the best Spur 3pter in the RG
Bonner wouldn't even be in the NBA right now if not for Pop and his system. Gary Neal was a Turkish League scrub before coming to SAQuote:

This. It's all about Thompson and Curry. I can't understand why POP hasn't figured this out yet.Quote:

And coming back from a 16 point deficit in the last 4 minutes ISN'T? Point is, we need a major change in strategy to turn this series in our favor. It can still be done but this series has turned out a lot harder than I ever imagined it would be. Start Manu and Blair over Green and Splitter? Who knows but we need to do something drastic. It may be 1-1 but the Dubs have completely outplayed us.Quote:

Man, I'll be there for Game 4. Look out for a dude in Spurs gear, road jersey in a sea of yellow! It'll be brutal win or lose for me, putting up with that crazy ass crowd...but a Spurs fan in the Bay Area has to do what he has to do.
What section so I know where to look lolQuote:

We have to have > 40% shooting, or we're done
:lol Quitters
What a gem of insight this is!Quote:
