half full
I didn't read a damn word, but I'll tell you how I see it anyway . . .
I see a soft, spineless team that's on the verge of choking again (forget this series, which they'll probably still eke out in seven; I'm talking big picture). This is precisely why a mediocre, inexperienced upstart such as the Warriors had boundless confidence going into this series, because deep down, the rest of the league knows this team is a joke.
I have no idea; the Spurs still haven't had a good team shooting display (1 player has had their moments in spurts each game) in this series; maybe that won't happen and Spurs will have to win 2 more ugly games.

Yes, losing Game 4 really really sucks, but if after Game 2 you asked if I'd be happy with a 2-2 series heading into Game 5 I'd absolutely take it.
Sucks we could be closing this series out, but you know what, we didn't deserve Game 1, so I guess it all balances out.
Spurs will win game 5 by blowout. At home, we will not miss all those fts and open shots. And I think we're over Curry and Thompson going for 30 point a half.
Half-empty, the Spurs are relying on the big 3 way too much(it could be everyone else is fading though). I still think we win the series.
Pretty low on the worried meter tbh so Half Full. Spurs have dominated the last 2 games like the W's dominated the first 2 games.
The Spurs style is more sustainable over a series while the W's still have to rely on fluke shooting.
Half empty.
just gave a team on the verge of folding life. A team that also plays better away from home.
now the old guys are exhausted and zero time between. Blown opportunity.
Half full tbh, but this loss is still demoralizing as hell. If they come out with the necessary focus the Spurs should win in 7. Helps that the possible Game 7 gives the Spurs 3 days off, meaning they can hold a practice if need be. Golden State has surprisingly been a tough opponent.
half empty, duncan is already giving out and its game 4 of the 2nd round. their bigs in foul trouble, terrible shooting by the dubs, curry hurt, and still no win. the longer this series goes the more it favors gs.
see game 1 and 2Quote:

Regular year both of these teams don't look WCF/Finals good. But given the circumstances this year with injuries.... it doesn't matter.
Any of these 2 teams can win. With homecourt, I like the Spurs chances.
Honestly, I don't really care if Spurs advance to the finale.
Whether or not Spurs advance doesn't change the fact that they haven't played well for a long time and, that, outside of some miracle, they aren't championship material.
Other western conference teams are equally as bad, so Spurs could limp their way to the final before being swept by Miami but I'm not rooting especially for that because I barely enjoy seeing Spur playing that kind of crap basketball.
More globally, I don't remember playoffs that have bad as bad as this year. It's just Miami and a bunch of flawed and/or injured teams. That's just poor quality basketball played all over the place.
I'm worried about our Core. TP hurting, Manu and Timmy looking gassed and old. I just hope our old men can keep it up at this high level of play.
Both teams have lost games on the road that they totally should have won. Spurs bounced back well from their first loss. Hopefully they respond in a similar way. This time they'll be at home so they have that going for them.
Half full, we didnt play that well and we had the game won till right at the end. No legs= No shots going down. They will have and extra evening to rest, they will be alright.
Half full.
It's a 3 game series with home-court advantage and the spurs just coming out of a loss. I expect them to bounce back.
That said, this series pretty much destroyed the small hopes i had of them winning against Miami. Sure, I don't expect them to win against Miami, but Prior to sucking in the regular season i was at least confident this teams pushes Miami to six...A Miracle or two would have done it.
Now, it feels like they would be needing a miracle every game to even have a shot.
Our offense sucked for different reasons in 1 & 2. Today the we just missed shots. In the third quarter we had open looks, but missed them all. At one point we were 5/18 in that quarter, not including fts. Had just a few more of those gone in we would've gone up 14-18 points and its a whole different ball game. At home were not missing those. Not saying it can't happen, because it can, but I give us the benefit of the doubt by a large margin.Quote:

I'm really disappointed in the team. Spurs should have won this game. Once again, of all things, the offense failed miserably. They won't win too may games shooting in the 30's.
I still see a Champions comeback this series but they will be so tired against Memphis, I would not be surprised if they get swept or beaten 4-1.
