Game Thread: Spurs vs Warriors — Mon. (3/18) - 7:00/CST (2:00am Riga Time)

The most difficult game of the season, tbh. The Dubs have that killer look in their eyes again after getting embarrased by the Suns and are bringing back a familiar face to likely play some key minutes tonight in Andrew Bogut. Cousins is questionable with an ankle injury, though. Regardless, winning tonight would be the most impressive of the season. Let's pull off the upset, everyone!

Spurs by 3

:flag:

Boogie out, Iguodala out. A fighting chance. Could be anything...

Spurs by 7

Cousins being out is bad news, tbh. They're more difficult to beat without him -- especially for the Spurs.

These aren't the Warriors of the past few years, they're vulnerable this season. Dubs 150 Spurs 75.

lol

I'm looking forward to this game. Just to see where we stand against the top dawgs. Even if we win, i still would not want to play them in the 1st round. I hope we are able to avoid them at all cost.

But we'll see.

I disagree. When Cousins has a good day, it's game over. We'll probably see some tricked-up 3-2 zone with Aldrige and Poeltl, which is suicide if Boogie plays. But has a lot of potential against a no-center team.

I am curious to see if White will constantly attack Curry on offense, and if Thomson will guard Marco or Bertans, he is a super defender but not so mobile on long cuts away from the ball, Marco could get him tired (Iguodala not playing leaves not that many defensive options to Kerr).
Hopefully Gay can post up KD and bang him sore.
The real challenge will be for DDR on defense, he will be exposed naked, that's why I expect the zone and in this context, Boogie's absence is very positive.

Or maybe the Dubs just go nuts and score 25-35 from 3.

Can Durant be one more game out, or at least on a minutes restriction? Please.

Cousins was also dominant on both ends 5 days ago against the Rockets, too.

I’m glad Iggy is out he always seems to kill the Spurs

In other news, Load Management doing Load Management things and is out tonight against the lowly Knicks. 60 game season for her. No way in hell she deserves a max contract.

:lol tbh

easy money

Spurs should win this with all those players out for the Dubs.

Please put Durant and Curry on the floor at least once each on their drives.

Stop the pussiness.

Sure but that won't stop Curry and Thompson from taking turns ass-ramming Mills and Forbes and giving both of them a Dirty Sanchez, tbh. The key tonight will be if LMA and DDR can dominate and take us home with White and Gay being x-factors.

:lol

Forbes getting cocky :lol. Steph going for 40+ tonight confirmed.

I don’t give a shit I just hope Durant and curry bump knees and writhe in pain.

Spurs by 20+ tbh

This looks like a pivotal game for the Spurs.

A win could propel them through the rest of the season.

A loss might start another skid -- especially for such a streaky team.

Haha yeah I’m one of them, I live in San Diego

I have noticed that Eubanks has been pretty solid in the spot minutes he's played. Kind of reminds me of a more defensive David Lee. Wonder if he'll get some minutes to shine tonight.

Why is it Standard?
I thought I lost an hour last week.

They have so much talent it's disgusting... Cousins and Iggy would be all stars in the East, and Klay would be an MVP candidate over there

The fact Pau isn’t playing gives us a shot. GSG

If he's in, that means the game is way out of hand, tbh.

For all we know, the team probably already thinks he's logging heavy minutes by confusing him with Poetl. Shit, they might think he's Gasol and that's why he's not playing.

Right on, bro! But tbh, I wouldn't have raised this issue had my placing the PST of tonight's game not been mysteriously removed by the mods. That's two or three times it's happened to a game thread I've started. I don't mind if no one else does it, but if a PST person puts it on the game thread, I don't think it's right to just remove it for no reason.

but when i move in a few months im going to request EST as well imho tbh fwiw

I completely agree. No reason to remove the PST. Next time you do a game thread, skip Riga Time, put PST in the parenthesis and give the mods what they want which is CST as the main time.

Eubanks can only dream of having the career Lee had, frankly.

Fuck the Warriors.

That is all.

Hoping Coach Roster Maker will have White on one of them so that will leave a shrimp on shrimp to guard Curry.
Yeah that could get ugly.

I will say of all the Spurs opponents Craig Pop has fairly consistently played Golden State well. Including some really good wins, culminating with the Game 1 WCF win. (put a line thru the win.) I just wish he had some street smarts as you could see Zaza going goon from a mile away.

I hope Stephanie Curry's pussy ankles explode and his writing body is swarmed with bats.

Hate this team since Durant joined.

:flag:

still waiting for that Zaza payback, with interest, when we gonna take out one of theirs?

Since we're splitting hairs, it really should be PDT (vs. PST) that is in parenthesis.

I used to always check ST to get the time of the game cause Riga time and Athens time is the one and the same :lol

But in late March when half the planet has daylight savings and the other half doesn't it's safer to also check the ESPN schedule cause it automatically fixes the gametime to where you live

You didn't hate this team before that? I've hated this team ever since Draymond, tbh. And when Curry all of a sudden went from decent, injury prone player to megastar, arrogant player who showboats like there's no tomorrow.

fuck, cousins is confirmed out? sucks, he has been a net negative on the court for them

Not sure about you guys but I'm pretty stoked to see the Patty/Forbes/Beli lineup out there to defend Steph, Klay, and Dominos tbh.

Warriors drafted two extremely good shooters and a DPOY.They won a championship with that core,a lot of luck with opposition injuries and a bit of a ref whistle.The faggotry and softness of that team was undeniable but so was their talent.

But it was the Durant signing that made the basketball world to flat out hate on Golden State.It's the most unfair,despicable,critisized,pussy move of all time.May the stigma of Durant taint the Warrior's rings for decades.

This. Dramond's toxic attitude rubbed off on all of them.

The line is at 2,5 points-Spurs underdogs and it hasn't moved all day.

:lol Even Porto’s is a little overrated imo but you still couldn’t get me to leave LA for the East coast unless it was for a nice, fat payday tbh. Harsh winters and insanely humid summers tbh.

As long as we're talking time zones, show some love to IST too. GMT +5:30 for the ones who did not know..

This lived 26 years on the east coast and just moved here from the east coast and have no intentions of going back lol. Also watching NBA games at 1030 pm blows too

The Mandela Effect in full effect. Andrew Bogut starting with the Warriors tonight....

Get ready for Bogut moving screens all night.

lmao illegal screen

9 seconds in :lol

Fucking Bogut :lmao

White looks shaky

Dumb foul by Derrick.

nice start

Clear foul bro

Bogut bringing his patented moving screen out early.

Our bench with Rudy in it should stomp the Warriors 2nd unit even when they leave a starter or 2 out there

Bogut’s moving screen are so obvious and soils the game. Refs continue to be a disgrace.

Get Forbes off the fucking court

Poeltl just got postered by the Aussie

Gay!!!

The amount of Warriors fans at this game is disgraceful

So this dickhead gets the continuation, but LMA didn't?

Sooo why is that FTs for donkey but no and 1 for LA

Let's play hack-a-donkey :donkey

Gotta clean up a lot on defense. Communication has to be better

I like the defensive strategy. To leave Donkey open on the 3 along with that buck toothed Looney.

Nice enough start

Steph missing easy ones. Not a good sign

Spurs are confused on pick n roll d. Better figure whos got Steph
