to be fair, the Warriors are going to have a hard time playing their small ball line-up that won them the championship against the Spurs. They are going to have to play Bogut which is already slowing down their offense. Spurs were match-up problem for them last year and its ever worse this year. A healthy OKC is still the biggest threat to the Spurs.
so durant and westbrooke alone are a threat to the spurs? Outside of those 2, who do they have? Ibaka can't do anything but hit the open jump shot and if you put a 4 in the game that can hit the open jumper, you can pull him out the paint so he's a non issue on defense.Quote:

The lakers could have won that title easily. EASILY. Shaq was shooting 60%. Every time they dumped the ball down to him, he scored. The biggest myth in nba hystory is that Ben Wallace shut shaq down. How do you shut down a man shooting 60% and averaging 18ppg? Kobe destroyed that series. He didn't want shaq getting another finals mvp. Series should have been the lakers easily. I aint mad Kobe shot them out though. We were robbed in game 5 anyway.Quote:

I don't get this narrative, that the Spurs have supposedly vaulted themselves back into contention with the Warriors. In reality, they were already fully capable of beating them, though not in the worn down, beat up state we last saw them in.
As has been discussed ad nauseam, they match up well, but far less talked about yet equally apparent, is they're clearly in their heads. I don't know that the Warriors truly believed they could beat the Spurs last season, which is always half the battle.
Health and chemistry are key for any team to win the title. The spurs have to develop a chemistry by the time the playoffs roll around, and while I will concede the Warriors should be favored because they are the defending champs and deserve that, I still think that Green and Kawhi are two of the best on ball defenders in the league. I think that Harrison Barnes needs to improve if he does the Warriors will get better and barring injuries will have an excellent chance of repeating. But Barnes was a liability for the Warriors during the playoffs and especially in the finals.
ugh all i hear here(im in the bay area) are spurs too old, slow, dubs will outlast the, they cant keep up, nobody stops our small ball etc. :ihit
I wasn't scared of them this year, certainly won't be next year. I think their 'chip was one of the easiest in a long time, I'm willing to bet they don't even make WCF
The '04 Lakers severly lacked depth & had Devean George:lol as part of the starting 5. Once Malone got injured they had to play Slava Medvedenko:lol!Quote:

That's just crap that certain people say cos they have to. Warriors would have lost to the Spurs in the playoffs last playoffs; and the same will likely hold true this upcoming playoffs.Quote:
