Spurs turned it over too many times again. Law of averages says the same thing.
Most frightening matchup for the Spurs since peak Shaq-Kobe
They were missing key rotation players, 6th game in 9 days, Curry had arguably the worst game of his career and they still kept the game close..
The Spurs have a historically great defense, so it's not unrealistic to expect them to hold GS well below their averages, but even if we give the Spurs full credit for their shooting woes, playing that type of defensive strategy every game is going to wear SA out by game 3, tbh..

What I don't understand is how they get so many easy layups and wide open 3 point attempts.
Spurs rarely ever had an easy layup.
Tbh, even if it was Igoudala guarding LMA, it still wouldn't matter. Bogut was the missing piece that is yet to be determined though.
Great point heat. They will be a tough out for anyone. Question is, who else can beat them the rest of the season?
Having to be so active on O (and D) will also tire the Warriors out.
And Curry had a really bad game for a reason.
They're the champs and extremely good, tbh... I do think the Spurs can execute better, and I thought Kawhi was too tentative, he needs to breakout...
Spurs were also not 100% though, Manu just getting back from a month off... if he's 100%, I think our chances are a lot better, tbh...
We know
agree to some extent.but also think this was not the best offensive punch from SA...Kawhi had an inefficient game and even LMA shot meh and missed quite few bunnies and open jumper...neither Green or Mills shot well..just a slugfest we won with superior D..
Impressive performance by the Warriors so agree in that regard. But you can punch s like Clay and Burnes in the mouf and those losers will fold in a playoff series tbh.
If Wardell doesn't go supernova, the Spurs have a shot to bully dem s IMO.....
The Spurs and Warriors are pretty much even now. Both 37-5 vs. the West. No making excuses for the Warriors. They lost tonight, period, and Curry went 1-for-11 from three.
Every game is different. Just look at the two Cavs vs GSW games this year.
Good points, and yes it's gonna take a lot to beat this team, but if the Spurs played their best out there (they didn't) tonight and the result was still the same, I would be very worried.
yeah..the spurs won the game with championship like effort by only like 8 points against a team coming a back to back and without their 4th and 5th best player..
All of off a sudden, My gut tells me warriors in 5...
Mostly agree, but the last sentence isn't true. We can play that defense all day everyday.
On the other hand, the only way you're going to chip away at their supreme confidence is by beating them, tbh... so you do what you can... these games help
*whispers* when defended well... Curry didnt play well in the finals either. and if the rest of the team cant feed off that, and only offer 6'7" big men, we can see more of this.
I'm really getting tired of hearing people hand-wave the Warriors' shooting woes by saying "They are missing shots they normally make." When you have to take so many bad shots, eventually you get so out of rhythm that you miss shots you make. Players aren't statistics. Their shots aren't IID. Will Curry play better going forward? Yes. But people like Mid who think the Splash Bros. are averaging 70 against the Spurs are way off base. In fact, this game would have been a blowout had GS' role-players not shown up. Who know if that happens in the playoffs?
This was all about confidence, and we beat them, a win is a win, they still havent beaten us in SA, dont be a got and downgrade it, just take it in and enjoy the night.
If I were a Warriors fan, I'd be thinking "oh " right now.
We definitely kept them in the game with turnovers and piss poor shooting.
This, people need to be happy, we showed up and scored more points than them. season series is 1-1. Enjoy the victory
You guys can't even enjoy a game in which the Spurs shot poorly (average from 3), turned it over 17 times, sat Duncan for 40 minutes, and still won by 8 over the team with the best record in NBA history through 66 games. Pathetic.
Just quit if you can't enjoy the win for worrying about what might go wrong in the playoffs.
The favorable officiating they got even at SA is what scares me the most about them, not their team.
As far as on-court play goes, I think we match up well. Not a great game by SA offensively but they just proved they can lock down the GSW on defense which is HUGE.
