Warriors or Nuggets?

[Old School 44]

Warriors. Athletic bigs seem to give the Spurs problems, but I don't think either team will pose a tough challenge.
I'm just ready to watch the next round.

Den: Spurs in 4

GS Spurs in 5,

[benefactor]

Jackson just pulled a shooter off the floor to match Denver's size. That's a good sign for the match up with the Spurs.

[iminol]

so we playing on monday.

The other side of that argument is that Denver will end up expending a lot of energy to win this series if they are able to. A quick turnaround after an emotional comeback like that could cause problems for them in the 2nd round. Especially when facing a team who's been resting for a week.


Another argument is do you think the Spurs are better off with the series ending in 6 so they have an extra day or two to work on and install a game plan or that doesn't really matter?

On the one hand, GSW is really young, terrible in San Antonio, and has no bench.

On the other hand, George Karl coaches Denver. This should be enough of a reason. But he also gives major minutes to the corpse of Andre Miller.

I like the Spurs chances against either, but I think a matchup with GSW is slightly easier.

[superjames1992]

We'll rip either team apart. Those jokers can't play a lick of defense. It's sad. Pop can't wait to steal George Karl's milk money or put Mark Jackson back in his broadcast booth where he belongs, tbh (LOL, just kidding, but we should crush either team).

Andre Miller has abused the Spurs a couple times this year tbh. Two of those games came without TP or with TP just coming back from injury tho, so who the knows.

The Spurs would beat either in 5 more than likely.

Edit: Actually, now that I look, he had 3 good to great games against the Spurs, 2 coming in SA.

[foodie2]

Curry is hobbled and GS plays undisciplined ball. And tbh I am scared of a cheapshotting, George Karl-coached team doing physical damage to the Spurs. I'll take GS.

[milkyway21]

GWS came back from a 20pt deficit...looks like they can close this out tonight

[milkyway21]

I hope Denver wins to extend the Spurs rest day

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

As long as the series goes to 7 games (GSW vs. DEN,) I don't particularly care/mind.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I hope Denver wins to extend the Spurs rest day

Yup, 6-game series now.

[milkyway21]

107-100 Denver.

3-2 GSW. 20pts won't make Curry &

whew!

[Budkin]

Golden State will wrap it up Thursday without a doubt.

[Bruno]

Game 5 was damn weak quality wise.

Now, I don't see GS losing game 6 in front of their great home crowd. Nuggets are talented but are also very flawed.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Wouldn't it be neat if, for the second year in a row, the Spurs started the playoffs with two series sweeps - 4-0 in the first round and 4-0 in the WCSF?

[TampaDude]

Thanks, Nuggz, for extending the series.

Warriors in 6, though.

[Aztecfan03]

I would rather there be more rest after golden state series(or less rest for the thunder) I want golden state to win next game

[slick'81]

Gotta go with a pissed curry and warriors at home bring on gst

[Obstructed_View]

Karl's starting McGee now. I'd rather play the Warriors.

[eric365]

GSW and Richard Jefferson will hit all his 3s against the spurs and will have more and more minutes as the series goes

Jefferson's definitely due to hit a shot or two in the postseason for a change.

[TJastal]

I'm going to assume you aren't talking about Bonner, Blair, or Diaw.

Which means Splitter .. since Pop has done virtually nothing this season with the spurs only other 7 footer, Baynes.
Not to knock on my boy Splitter but he hasn't exactly looked like a world beater thus far in the playoffs. And he will be playing gingerly for the most part coming off the ankle sprain. Because of this .. I think the spurs will have problems and Pop will be forced to go small and this will play right into the warriors hands unfortunately. Pop will probably answer by going with his trusty security blanket, Bonner. Which will probably fail miserably. I can totally see Pop panic and send Mcgrady out there. It would really get ugly from there.

Took all of what... 1 game and Pop has already pushed the panic button..overplaying Bonner/Neal. Over/under on seeing Mcgrady in game 3?

Let's settle the ELE tbh. Spurs win you'll be gone till the season starts, spurs lose then I'd be gone till the season starts.
