Warriors getting pasted by Portland. Don't look now, but if the Warriors were to lose, the Spurs would only be 12 back in the loss column. Still lots of season left.

With the brutal schedule ahead and no Kawhi, could see the unfathomable happens. Shit about to get real..
So last season when I told you guys the Spurs should try hard to trade Patty to the Lakers for Lou Williams, why did you all say no??????

I love Bill Walton. Absolutely hilarious. :lmao
:lol as a kid, I used to hate Bill Walton when he was on NBC. Now as I'm older, I miss the old stoner and his hyperboles.
Lillard with 44 pts pulls the upset of GSW.
Durant pours 50.. not enough. GSW bench practically didn't help at all.
It highlights how terrible det Paddy/Pau/Forbes bench gave the game to GSW against the Spurs the last time.
No it doesn't illustrate that. It illustrates the Spurs without Kawhi and Gay being out don't have perimeter players capable of scoring 20 or more to keep up with the Warriors. Keep in mind CJ McCollum also scored 29 for the BlazersQuote:

The team that Jerry West created is one of the deepest in the league, and certainly better built than spursQuote:

:lol Typical. Refusing to give a black (or in his case, mixed) coach credit. Whether he actually deserve it or not is besides the point. The reality is, if he were white (or in his case, 100% white), he'd be receiving it.Quote:

Spurs got the injury bug each of the last 3 season’s (Tim’s knee in 2016, Tiago’s calf and Tony’s hamstring + Kawhi’s hand in 2015, last season Zaza happened but Kiwi was already limping since the Houston series, this year has by far been the worse of Kawhi’s era...)Quote:

It will eventually happen to them to. Injuries are unpredictable but if you play long enough in this league no team escapes them. The Lakers during the 80's were relatively injury free until Magic tore his hamstring in the '89 Finals and then in '91 they lost Worthy and Byron Scott to injuries. Celtics were also relatively injury free for most of the 80's up until the end of the 80's where they lost Bird for a season due to a back injury. They also got screwed in the '87 finals when McHale broke his foot. The early '00 Lakers never suffered injuries to their key players until the '03 playoffs when Rick Fox broke his foot. In a few years the Warriors will get some injuries simply from playing more games in the playoffs which gives more opportunities for injuries to happen.Quote:
