Serious Question
Watched a lot of their games this year,including entire 1st half tonight,thrashing the Knicks.This team is playing at all time level.Mark Jackson had basically same team.I don't think this years Spurs team can hang with them.
Are 2015 Warriors better team than last years Spurs? Especially if they win the le.

The 2014 Spurs were the most dominant team in NBA playoff history, tbh..
Have to see how the Warriors look in the playoffs before declaring them anything..they are by far the favorites, right now, though, it would be a historic choke job if they don't win the West..
It's a good question. I'd give the edge, as of now, to the 2014 Spurs because they went ahead and won it. No idea what the playoffs hold for the Warriors. We may find they're not even as good as the 2015 Spurs!Serious Question

That would be the 1999 Spurs but because there was no prior recognition, no dice.
So the same with the Warriors. What's scary is they have... A coach.
The lockout year affects the perception of those Spurs, tbh..
No, they can't. They'll never play each other.
No, they can't. They'll never play each other.
Always putting things into perspectiveNo, they can't. They'll never play each other.
I just looked at the stats from the 2013 Spurs vs Warriors playoff series. Everybody on the Spurs in that series shot poorly except for Kawhi who shot about 50%. All the key Warrior players also shot poorly in the series. For the Spurs to beat them again they are going to have to lock them down defensively. Kawhi will also have to be big he's one of the few guys the Warriors can not match up with.
Oh.
You mean the proper # of games for a meaningful regular season.
* And 4 playoff teams from each conference*
Well .No, they can't. They'll never play each other.
End of discussion.
There are no "what if's" on sports boards...
We don't match good with them now with the rising of their d green, he will eat alive splitter or diaw on both sides and we don't have good small ball lineup after we didn't sign paul pierce or traded for afflalo...
Sorry, there's a reason people have forgotten about them, unfortunately..whether the perception is fair or not is up for debate, but it's true that many people consider the lockout as a key variable(I don't, but I understand the argument when it pertains to historic comparisons)..
Looking at your reply to Chinook, you seem really emotional tonight, tbh..
Well the 2014 Spurs are the champs forever. I think either of the two teams that played two nights ago in San Antonio can and will beat them in the playoffs. The Spurs desire to repeat will propel them pass all comers if they are healthy. So my answer is...yes!
So the question is could Steve Kerr have made the difference last year with the Warriors?
No. Some difference sure, but this Warriors team reminds me of the SSOL Suns. They would blow through the league and hit a mudhole (Dale) right around Spurs time. Why? Because defense wins championships. Warriors have good defense, no doubt, but they rely on two jumpshooters, and if a team gets a couple games to adjust to that, what then?
Are 2015 Warriors better than 2014 Spurs?No, they can't. They'll never play each other.
Is this small ball lineup not good enough?
Parker
Manu
Green
Leonard
Duncan
Is Green not good enough if not on a hot roll from shooting 3s?
Are Tony/Manu too old to compete on defensive end?
Is Duncan too much a liability in pick n roll defense vs this team?
Is an motivated,slim down,effective Diaw the missing piece?
Some Spurs writers mentioned letting Diaw/mills go for younger,athletic,hungrier(not literally)players.
Manu is key against Golden state tbh..
4-1 Spurs.
i dont get how the jumpshooters thing falls into the equation. defense wins championships and they have an elite defense. if you're just going to use the jumpshooter thing to cancel out the defense, then why bring up the "defense wins championships" thing up in the first place? is there caveat to the defense wins championships thing? like "defense wins championships, unless your best offesnive players are jumpshooters. then defense does not win championships." besides, the Suns achilles heel was their defense. if they had an elite defense, history would be different. if you liken the warriors offense to the suns and also realize they play terrific defense, not sure how you can just write them off
in any event, the warriors lead the NBA in assists per game, something the spurs had taken pride in for the last two seasons. out of their league leading 27.1 assists per game, 7.8 come from curry and 3.0 come from Klay.

Wars have 2 dpoy candidates, mvp candidate, and the best record.
An id say spurs 2014 beat them in 4 games
Will they please win the championship first please?
I'd actually roll with Diaw at the 4, he abused Draymond last time they played. The SG spot would go to either Manu/Green (whoever is having a good game)
I don't even think they would beat the Spurs in a playoff series this year if Pop would actually adjust defensive matchups, tbh.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I ate some bad granola maybe.
And I thought I was ill-tempered every night. And morning.
