Game Thread: Spurs vs Warriors -- Sat. (3/19) - 7:30PM CST (2:30AM Riga Time)

I couldn't just stand by idly and watch as Amused tried to ruin another winning streak, especially with what's at stake. So this is the official Game Thread. Here we go.

We're at home tonight at the AT&T Center to take on soon-to-be 2x MVP Steph Curry and the 62-6 Warriors, who are winners of 25 of their last 27, including their last 7 in a row, for what is widely being considered the biggest regular season matchup in NBA history. Spurs' undefeated home streak is on the line here, as well the Warriors 19-year regular season road losing streak in San Antonio. This is a perfect chance for the Spurs to redeem themselves for the shellacking they received back in late January to the Dubs, and show the world that they can compete with these guys. There's not much more that needs to be said. Iguodala and Bogut are both our for the Warriors, and everyone is available for the Spurs. No excuses. Let's get it.

Happy 40th to The Professor.

Amused I respect you but gotta keep with tradition on this one. :toast

FLIP THE BIRD, STEVE

Batmanu to the rescue!

Can't wait for the game tonight. Spurs will put on a good show, Spurs win by Double Digits!

Are Spurs wearing Military uniforms tonight?

:flag:

Oh shit, Slomo is lurking in this thread. For the love of God don't merge this thread with the other one.

I will take a Spurs win in any shape or form, but I hope for a fiercely competitive game given the buildup and stakes.

Bill doing the lord's work. Thanks for the pics.

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you Batmanu and Bill Mc. You have both saved me from worrying about injury to key players while I wait to be able to watch the game. Thank you.

Now, while the first half is being played, I can host these people that I committed to long ago, not realizing that this game was tonight. As much as I have tried to graciously move the date or the decision not to watch this game (they don't know anything about basketball) it has all been for naught. And I can't be rude, so I will catch up with the game as soon as I can get away from them without shoving them out my door!! lol!!

EVAY, I hope that by the time your guests leave we've already blown them away and you can relax and enjoy the second half and replays:toast

Stay healthy and get the win. Show no mercy. :flag:

It's too bad the Spurs chose this year to flex their muscles. While I expect a win I wouldn't be surprised at a loss. We are too injured to be able to completely blow the Spurs out today. If I was to give a message to the Warriors locker room it would be this: let them have their fun. In fact bait them into thinking they can compete with us. We'll see who is standing at the end, again.

Ha, ha.

In the end implies Warriors have beaten Spurs in the postseason. Come back and talk when they do. Otherwise, I'd be the Spurs who's standing at the end, again.

Tee. Hee.

Im so pumped for this game tbh

Scared shitless. :lol

Not to kill the momentum but here's a small disclaimer: The Warriors are missing their two best individual defenders in Bogut (if he doesn't play) and Iggy. These are two guy's who can pressure Kawhi and either LaMarcus or Duncan into tough shots. Without those two, we have some players that they can't stop especially if they get hot. Green can guard all our front court players reasonably well but not at the same time. They will have to go small this game w/o Bogut, but without Iggy there will be nobody that can check Kawhi in their small ball line up. My point is that we won't be able to draw much from this game match-up wise, because both their small ball and standard lineups will be much less effective defensively than normal. Don't over blow this game when we win just like when we didn't completely validate their last win because Duncan didn't play.

Duncan- still one of the best rim protectors in the NBA - was not mentioned by the press or anyone else in their previous curb-stomping-lay-up drill they laid on us. They will be the first to use their guys being out as an excuse if they lose and the first to beat their chest if they win. No mercy! That being said, this is just a regular season game and won't count count toward the four we will likely need to need against them to get to the Finals. Hope we put it to them!

Yep. The media can say whatever they want. They will ride the wave when we win today as well and so will a lot of Spurs fans. But perspective is always very important.
