Spurs trying to track down the 2/3/4 seed

[313]

You guys are seriously overrating the dubs. Spurs in 6 if they meet up. Wouldn't be surprised if it was 5.

Stop being positive rob. You're a key cliff jumper, and we need you on your A game come playoffs.

I think you're underestimating how well a healthy OKC can play, tbh.

All I know is we're 2nd round sweep material

History says that teams that play the way the Warriors have this season are extremely difficult to beat, even in the playoffs. If they fail to reach the Finals, it will make them fairly unique, at least in terms of analytics. They're exceptional on both ends, versatile, and deep.

I don't see how they aren't the prohibitive favorites to win the West.

History says matchups matter. We are their boogieman. We would be favorites vs them in a series.

Yeah brah

Are you sure?

[Obstructed_View]

they arguably play better without lee. so i don't think he would of been much of a factor. nonetheless i don't see them beating the spurs. do you really think they're going from 1st round exit to the finals in 1 season? not impossible but i doubt it. relying on the 3 is also asking for postseason failure imo. sure some teams shoot the 3 well throughout deep runs but it doesn't happen often iirc.

I don't think you realize the impact a healthy Bogut has on that team.

look im not saying its gonna happen but...

sure i do. but if we play 2 bigs green aint keeping tiago in check. i can guarantee that. and if we go with diaw he has a good amount of moves to throw at green.

Dude hasn't been healthy since he went to prom, though.

Set them sights low, rob.

Unless Tiago starts doing work in the post, Green has more of a chance to exploit Splitter than the other way around. Green has similar skills to Diaw (Green is more aggressive from 3) but a much better defender. Just having two big men doesn't mean much. Diaw is a better match-up. He's more mobile and can spot up in the corner for extra spacing. The Spurs could get some offense from his post-ups on Barnes or maybe Green. It has less to do with size and more to do with Diaws craftiness in the post. He can back players down and finish with the hook shot or turn around and hit a fade away when teams bring a double team.

Leonard missing fs since replacing Bonner

I retract all my previous statements. This team is done.

Tiago can be effective in the post without demanding the ball on the block through the use of pick and rolls.

[daslicer]

So much for HCA. Looks like this team will have to do without it.

Damn bro, can't even keep your takes clean for one day.

6pm..We own the warriors
9pm..We are done

I underestimated Tony Parker and his ability to bring this team down.

[timtonymanu]

Looks it will be 6th or 7th for the Spurs.

Too much inconsistent effort every game to go on a run.

He is efficient in the post but the majority of his post touches are for him to pass to an off ball ball cutter. He probably isn't going to dominate Green like Rob is saying.

After tonight's fest i'd be surprised if we made it out of the 1st round. GS just might make it to the Finals. I'm going with a GS/Grizz WCF.

[Cloud786]

At this point, anything higher than a 5th seed is wishful thinking. This team is too inconsistent and you don't know which team will show up game to game. Also, it doesn't help that we don't even own a tiebreaker over ONE western conference playoff team at the moment.

[apalisoc_9]

At this point, you just gotta wish they get in a stride before mid april...Seeding shouldn't matter anymore.
