I don't understand why some are scared of the Warriors, tbh

[Obstructed_View]

I see Spur fans have found their new team to fear now they're over Oklahoma City. Why can't people just have confidence in the team and group that has outlasted so many other flavor's of the month? GSW is definitely a elite, well coached team, but we matchup better with them than almost any other team. A healthy respect is needed but "fearing" another team is going overboard, IMO.

I always feared the Thunder because of the calls they get. It's really ing hard to beat a good team when they can goaltend at will.

Touché

That's something I always hated about prime Serge Ibaka. Has anyone been noticing how he's looked since coming back from knee surgery?

[Mr Bones]

I was just looking at their recent history, and it's pretty impressive... they finished the '13-'14 season with 2 wins, they went 67-15 last year, and have started this season off 12-0. That means they're 81-15 in their last 96 regular season games.

[r0drig0lac]

is not about Curry, is about illegal screens and scrubs going 40% - 3pt when his career norm is 32%

[KL2]

Apalisoc_9 man crushing hard on Curry.

Not apa lol. I accidentally left out "scoring", but it, he's already on my top 5 of all time list. The perimeter defenders he's going up against today all over players from the past and the talent pool is much larger and better. Comparing guys like Magic and Stockton to Curry is insulting, the game is much more difficult.

Can we close this thread and get hater to start it again?

I for one am happy that we don't face the dubs until later in the season. They enjoy what the Spurs usually have in abundance, continuity. The Spurs are still trying to incorporate LMA, and West. The Warriors are in post season mode; for while I have no doubt barring injuries the Spurs will be much better as the season progresses. Facing them now wouldn't be a true judge of how good of a matchup it would be in the post season.

I don't understand why some are scared of the Warriors ...

Maybe basketball's not the sport for you.

Umm ok lol
1987 Jordan 37ppg, 5rpg, 5apg, 3spg
1988 Jordan 35ppg, 5.5rpg, 5.9apg, 3.2 spg DPOY MVP
1989 Jordan 32.5ppg, 8rpg, 8apg, 2.9spg
1990 Jordan 33.6ppg, 6.9rpg, 6.3apg, 2.8spg

Steph

2014/15 23.8ppg, 4.3rpg, 7.7apg, 2spg
2015/16 33.7ppg, 4.8rpg, 5.9apg, 2.4spg 12 games

1989 was my favourite MJ Year but Magic won MVP over him averaging a silly 22.5ppg, 7.9rpg, 12.8apg, even that wasn't Magic's best year (87 was IMO). Steph has a ways to go. But even mentioning his name in the same sentence as those 2 is praise enough. But you can't take him over prime MJ, No, just no. If he keeps this pace up for another 4 years at least instead of what 12 games? Then we'll revisit this.

Curry PER 35, TS% 0.689
MJ peak PER 31, TS% around 0.6, and thats with star player free throws coming out of the wazoo (most protected player in history).

Look, MJ is obviously better than Curry, but this little sample size of Curry trumps MJs best years. I say we beat GSW last year in Finals in 5-6 games, this year i genuinely cant see us beating them in their current form. Im expecting a 65+ win season from them.

You can find stretch of 16 games of MJ with similar stat than curry, if he keeps on during a whole season, we can start a conversation about it tbh...

[LarryDavid]

Granted they are the defending Champ and historically good team, but if I'm Spurfan, I'm not the f***ing Clippers..

They clearly don't present the bad fits that Thunder (2012-2014) had to our team in direct matchup, not even the external factors (Refkc)

Starpower? I would argue Heat (2013-2014)> Warriors (2015-2016)...Let's face it, it is one man show (Curry).. and let's not kid ourselves including Thompson/Draymond Green as part of an established Big 3 dynamics..

IMO, the Spurs in Wingstop have by far the best foundation in the league to throw a spanner in their works..A depleted Cavs team near-provided the blueprint: choke off Curry as much as possible and let Iguodala or someone else be the MVP-level difference maker..

It is easier said than done, but i think this Dubs team could still be SHOOK in a playoff atmosphere..

Wait, what?

I found a nasty 11 game stretch where Jordan had 10 triple doubles and averaged 33.6ppg, 10.8rpg and 11.4apg lol. I'm sure there were some other mammoth stretches to. So to aal04 no this stretch of Curry's doesn't come close to trumping MJ's best years.

On to Spurs news, LMA isn't adjusted, Tony isn't up to speed, Green lost his stroke and still we are 9-2, only 2 games behind the Warriors in the L column. We're doing pretty good

[100%duncan]

He's not the only one tripping.

[ceperez]

Steve Nash is surprised that Curry is getting better and better:

The Championship will boil down to how Leonard can shut down Curry.

[SpurPadre]

This team isn't scary; they're ing horrifying. Crazy comeback win by them tonight where they just erupted at the end.

[Spurtacular]

Inflated record. They're not invincible.

[100%duncan]

Everyone acknowledges that no . Doesnt erase the facts that our strengths are their weaknesses.

sucking GS

[Mikeanaro]

Great shooting but basketball-wise they suck, same team than the finals shoot shoot shoot ´till is good and Clips D is atrocious.

[SpurPadre]

Inflated record. They're not invincible.

Can't dismiss them any longer. They have flaws defensively and are careless with the ball, which Kawhi can exploit but they're more potent offensively than any team in the NBA. Spurs are the only team that can beat them in a seven game series.

Don't blame anyone for having a high opinion of them; but they ain't the 86 Celtics. They're very beatable in a playoff series.
