They gave up 124 though. I see if they would of held them to under 90 or something. But they gave up 124 lol. It's closer than you think.
He'd know what he needed to adjust and have more time to work on it. You don't wait until the playoffs to think "Hey, we lost back in December to the Warriors because we didn't close out the 3pt shooters well enough, I'll bring that up in the lockerroom"
A bunch of pussies in here. Acting like the Spurs aren't playing the 4th best defense in history. 50 guests viewing this thread, y'all gassing up gook central or whatever the Warrior forum is called
Many of those points scored on them tonight were against their C squad. They had to score 40 in the 4th just to make it more respectable. And again, they're missing Barnes too. The main point is that they dictate how you play them while playing solid d when they have to or just outscore you if they can't stop you. We have the personnel to play great perimeter D on them but do we have the firepower to take advantage? We'll see but we're the ones with question marks, not them.
It's not about that; it's about not showing your hand early and that's a classic Pop go-to, you know that.
They were up 30+ going into the 4th. The bench gave up the lead.
They took their gas off the pedal because they were destroying them. It's like when we play teams and let them get back in it except the pacers players well and are a pretty good team. Could have beat them by 30.
Time to come to reality bruh. They're ing sick.
Tp is going to need much more than 10 pts per game. His quickness is actually a big advantage against a few of their bigs. He needs to get to the rim to score or at least in the paint to pass it to a roll man or to an open shooter.
They stomping on weak ass teams, most impressive wins came against the Clips who are off at a GREAT 12-9 start.
Let's not act like they haven't been our dumpster since Curry came into the league. That on estrogen, Curry, lost a game to a depleted Spurs team led by Marco Belinelli. We own them, as evident as last season. Probably the luckiest playoff run of all time tbh
Spurs got this. PLUS those pansy asses will start to breakdown soon. Starting by Bogut.
Totally agree with paragraph 1. And, no way Clips should have lost that game, they totally pulled a Clippers and folded like a soft pussy down the stretch...they were up big and had all momentum.
With LMA and Kawhi needing to go alpha and for Green to be set up for spot up 3's in a potential 7 game series against them, it wouldn't be the time or place for TP to go off. We need him to be efficient, hence my at least 10 a game goal. He has to accept he's not going to win a measuring contest with Curry but if he can pick his spots and dish some nice passes to Kawhi and LMA, that will be what he needs to do. And regarding Green hitting 3's, I'm talking '13 Finals Green.
Let the Gay Area folks have something nice for once, instead of their daily dose of shankings tbh. Spurs will be waiting for the Golden Shower Warriors in Jan.
Disagree we need Tp to be healthy and aggressive. The more active he is the more efficient shots the team will get. One of the biggest advantages we have on offense against their starting unit is using Tp's quickness exploiting Bogut's defense.
Lol wut.
The best way to beat them is to make Steph work on defense.... Lowry did that and they nearly won.
Parker was unstoppable in the playoffs against GS, no matter who was on him. , just go back to last season where Golden State looked like they do now... Parker before the injury murdered them in Oracle.
Curry averages 2.23 steals a game and had 3 clear swipes off Hill tonight who struggled to get passed him with any effectiveness in the paint. 3 of his 4 shots made were 3 pointers. TP doesn't have that 3 point shooting ability. Does that mean I don't want TP to be aggressive? Not at all, he can be aggressive but he can't force drives and shots like he's in his mid 20's against this matchup and I don't want him to test Curry too much. He has to play smart in that matchup.
Yeah, like this is the same Parker. LOL. Curry's D has improved even compared to last year. He's better at forcing turnovers and at taking advantage of players who want to recklessly drive to the paint on him. His weakness on D is guarding the perimeter but TP's always been hit or miss with that. The best way to beat them is for Kawhi and LMA to be the best players on the team overall and for Kawhi and Green to be at their defensive best at the perimeter against Curry and Klay along with other factors I've already gone over. We do have proven ownage on them but we cannot deny they have vastly improved, even since last year.
Oh and news flash, Lowry is better than TP right now.
Sounds like your starting to turn the corner on TP...... tbh, imho tbqh.
I love the fun-loving, Tissot-pimping philanderer too but this matchup isn't for him to do anything other than know his role and feed his teammates the damn ball.
If you want to force feed guys who are being guarded by Draymond and Iggy, you're just asking for the L. Spurs are at their best when the ball is moving... Parker being aggressive opens that up and gets players like Green and Kawhi open.
C'mon man. And don't act like Parker ain't playing great right now, he's been carrying the team when they struggle scoring at the start of second halves. He's healthy enough to do what he did to Golden State last year, the worst season of his career. Curry is a ty defender, he's basically Allen Iverson on that end. Nothing but passing lane steals
If Parker isn't penetrating their defense we have zero chance. We simply can't be efficient enough without his penetration.
So Parker..... is valuable? Are you happy to have him Nathan? Or would you rather get rid of him and start Patty as you said before?
Patty is only worth considering starting over Parker if he is dog like in the playoffs vs the Clippers. He doesn't really have the skills for the job long term.
So our backup point guard is valuable when our starter is injured? Gotta give it to Parker... he was gutsy playing that serious despite the injury... Team player.
