You guys are missing the point

It's because people are forcing the action instead of simplifying what they should already know:

All Spurs players that are not the Big 3(Especially Gary Neal, need to play like Harrison Barnes.

Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors

I find myself continually impressed by the postseason decision-making of Harrison Barnes, who has picked his spots beautifully to apply pressure on opposing defenses at just the right times. It would seem easy for Barnes — who has connected on 37.2 percent of his three-point tries — to fire up threes in many of his semi-open opportunities, looking to shoot over the top of a hard-closing defender. But Barnes has done a fantastic job of driving to attack the closeout and throwing the opposing defense into a jumbled mess. He’s limiting his attempts to only those situations in which he has a clear advantage, whether it be truly wide open threes, open lanes to the basket, or in the post against undersized defenders.

As a result, Barnes’ effective field goal percentage (a measure which accounts for the added value of a three-pointer) has jumped from 48.1 percent to 54.1 percent — a healthy bump largely resultant of a shift in shot selection. Barnes has filtered most of the showy mid-range pull-up jumpers out of his game, and instead looked to move the ball when an open look isn’t immediately available. Barnes wasn’t a particularly selfish player in the regular season, but through the playoffs he’s been a perfect cog in a well-oiled machine, scoring and making plays without the kind of hesitation that allows a well-trained defense to recover.

If Pop gets his act together and starts showing them different looks on D No. The 2nd half was encouraging but if in the first quarter of game 1 the Spurs are double teaming the scrubs and not closing out hard on the 3's, we are screwed.

This game can't be played like H-O-R-S-E because they can outshoot the Spurs. It has to be played in the trenches. Spurs have to return to the BIG lineup and control pace and tempo. Work to get the best shot and move the ball side to side to get GSW's D chasing. It's strange but I though them losing David Lee would be so key to the Spurs advancing. He provided balance to their game by giving them a legit post presence. What makes this confounding is, if he was fully healthy and playing, those inside touches would lessen GSW's reliance on the 3 point line. They would take less 3 point shots. So, if GSW feels the game can be won outside in, then the team needs to be disciplined and chase those 2 shooters off the line and live with whatever shots Barnes and Green makes. Those guys combined won't be as effective as Curry & Thompson. Pop has to give up something and I think a slow it down, grind it out with Bigs game with 2nd break opps would give us Spurs fans a chance to see the Spurs team we expect.

Yep
