Man what a bummer if the Warriors ends this streak..

I dont think we are going to care about this game

Dubs need motivation to kill like they did in the 1st game where the media was trying to portray the Spurs as a real challenger

Same with the games against the Cavs where we wanted to prove the media wrong

There wont be motivation tomorrow, Dubs have too many injuries and will be tired from the 2nd night of a back2back

Leonard gyarded him last game and last season. Lol @ people thinking Kawhi on Curry is Pop's secret adjustment he's saving for the playoffs.

The only thing better than beating the Warriors in the WCF is if they sweep us in the regular season and we destroy them when it counts. I mentioned this in another thread weeks ago but I don't think its going to happen. Every match up with the Warriors will be a learning experience. What lineups work, types of D, etc.. work against them. The first game was a total waste other than us learning that we weren't prepared for them. The silly, sloppy, unforced turnovers buried us in a whole and the game was out of reach.

The over abundance of love for GS has reached ridiculous proportions. They have two great shooters / scorers in Curry and Thompson, and a good system but their reliance on the 3 pointer will eventually be their downfall.

Is that due to guarding the best players? who can shoot the 3 and drive past you... you sually have to give a little tiny extra space.
and/or playing help defense or rotating early? especially since he is always guarding the whole basketball court.

I'm sure he could guard the 3 better but wouldn't fit the team philosophy.

Good post. How we guard the three in the playoffs will be huge. That's how a depleted Cavs gave them a fight. They were very fortunate that they faced them without Irving and Love. Now is the time to experiment with what works. I'm thinking we win big tomorrow if we want to.

It's not about winning the game tomorrow. It's all about finding out more about what works and doesn't work against GS.

Spurs lose by 1 in Triple OT.

GS just hit 9 threes in the 1st vs. the Mavs. Curry finished with b2b ridiculous 3's...wtf, hopefully they get it out of their system

Warriors may rest starters at halftime tbh

Mavs somewhat staying in the game due to Warriors horrendous defense

Mavs are playing feisty but don't have enough to outlast the Warriors.

GSW also gave up 67 in a half. Their starters won't be sitting unless they want to forfeit and risk losing b2b

I hope they come out of the half looking to knock'em on their asses.

I don't know, it's a possibility I guess, but other primary defenders like Paul George allow 30% from three(Kawhi allows 35%).

Warriors are an unstoppable force of nature at this point. Spurs are still experiencing growing pains. Warriors by 20+

If the Spurs dont win tomorrow they should be embarrassed

Rusty Simmons ‏@Rusty_SFChron 6m6 minutes ago
Steve Kerr said Andrew Bogut probably won't play tomorrow in San Antonio. "If I had any guts, I'd sit everybody."
