Well, there's that, and the fact that the Spurs played poorly for 3˝ quarters of game 1.
ppl seem to miss the fact that Warriors lost because of Clay Thompson fouling out. That triggered a Jefferson showing and pretty much ignited Spurs run.
I am very curious to see how Thompson plays this game 2. He really was stupid in game 1 and fouled too much. IMO the X Factor of game 2 will be THompson's play. If he stays in the game and delivers. Spurs could be in for a world of hurt.

sure. but fatigue + the loss of Thompson are bigger reasons why Warriors lost the game.
I'm sure Pop's gameplan is to get Thompson in foul trouble and make sure Curry plays the entire game.
how could Pop possibly do this?I'm sure Pop's gameplan is to get Thompson in foul trouble and make sure Curry plays the entire game.

Originally the law only made the claim that someone will mistake a parody of fundamentalism for the real thing — that if someone made a sarcastic comment stating that evolution was a hoax because "birds don't give birth to monkeys," then there was a high probability that at least one person would miss the joke and explain (in all seriousness) how the poster was an idiot.
I've said this before the series began, I would much rather have faced the Nuggets because of Curry's style of play. I think if the Spurs can just slime by on 4 wins however non-dominant they may be, that'll have to do. Unless game 1 was a fluke, it was a reality check that the Warriors are a little more for real than I thought. The Warriors played pretty darn good D too and it didn't help how cold San An was to start the game. I don't like these guys, not one bit. They're bad news tennis shoes to me.
Any Splitter updates?
Imo on defense.
Deny him the ball to start at inbounds or at the halfcourt.
Bigger defender to start. Okc keeps thabo on Tony all game. Keep kawhi on him. Its the best option we got.
Make him a driver and stay at home with shooters.
On pnr, put mobile big on their big screener and make him drive.

On offense Tony is key. He's got to get comfortable with the big defender scheme.
They dais it already... Tony has to extend his range and settle for the 18 footer. If he sinks them it should open the lanes.
Duncan has to be ready to dunk the pick and pop.
For curry on defense, If green isnt hitting than Ginóbili has to come in and tale him.

Bench Joseph. Either play De Colo for length or Manu at point with Green or Leonard covering him. Bring in McGrady to absorb the minutes Joseph would have played.
McGrady ? too fast of a team to use him imho
Timmy set better screens for Tony.
Timmy step up on help D and actually contest the shot.
Kawhi play head to head man on Curry.
Trap hard and hedge on Curry coming off screen and roll.
close out hard on shooters without fouling.
Splitter needs to sack up and play. That alone will do wonders for the Spurs in many facets.
a lot fewer minutes for Manu. He said he really got tired during the game especially after never playing more than 20 minutes during the season. When he's tired he makes bad plays. Also hope Timmy is feeling better and is ready to play.
One could also respond that rust, Tim Duncan's illness and Tiago Splitter's absence are the only reason the game was a contest.
Pop's falling into to the trap of trying to match the Warriors game. I don't think that's going to work. The Spurs need to play defense and worry about playing their game.
Spurs game 2 adjustments.... Do nothing!!
I have to admit I Lol'ed at Tiago Splitter's absence.
the spurs have more problems on offence than on defence now.
those warriors backcourts are just unstoppable. even if you slow them down they still outscore us.
"I started Matty. we'll see if it works"
And that's working out for you so far?
I didn't think at such adjustment as playing diaw only 7 mn
