Its over my .. Great game

Tbh. Parker saved our asses tonight. Good to see he still has a little bit of magic left in him.

After the Dubs and a healthy Cavs, this team scares me more than any other team.

OKC is scarier, tbh

Needs to save it for the playoffs though tbh

The Warriors had the same problem with the Clips when they played them at home this year.The clips are a team that can hang with the best for 3 quarters but it's the 4th quarter where they fall apart.

Re /Blake/Paul are as good a trio as anyone has on the offensive end. There isn't much you can do when Re is spotting up on the strong side corner & Blake/Paul are running a PnR. If teams help from the weakside DeAndre is going to get a lob or a put back dunk. The only gamble is cheating off the wing player & hoping he misses a wide open 3.

Bucks height and Athletics brings for golden state

[SpurPadre]

The Clippers tend to double him & Blake can stay w/ him when they switch.

Yeah, they have him figured out since Game 3. I believe he can overcome this, though. I'm not trying to bash him.

SPURS WIN

Interior defense is GSW's major achilles heel.

At home... we've lost all the ugly ones on the road, though

there weren't many ugly ones though

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Exhale ....

SPURS WIN

Still can't believe it, this is exactly the type of game Spurs have lost the past few years... score gets too high at home and we don't have enough firepower, no Aldridge etc

[DMC]

game but I'll take the win.

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi didnt have a steal but Spurs still won

[UNT Eagles 2016]

there weren't many ugly ones though

vs DAL
vs BOS
vs PHI


... other ugly home games we won



We've lost quite a handful of ugly ones on the road, though

With a 33 year old PG you better get while the gettin' is good.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

With a 37 year old PG you better get while the gettin' is good.

33*

OKC is scarier, tbh

OKC isn't scary without a legit 3rd option (Dion Butters). Westbrook isn't going to pick the defense apart unlike Paul & Ibaka can't score efficiently in the post on switches. Kawhi can take Durant 1-on-1 much better than trying to check Re /Paul while having to navigate through multiple screens. With the acquisition of LMA no need to trot out Bonner to pull Ibaka away from the rim so it will make Tony life less miserable. Kanter might cause problems for Diaw but it will even out on the other end.

Or, Dirkbaka goes 11/13, the turd towers get shat on by Kanter & Adams and they average 44.3 free throws per game and we lose.

VICTORY!!!

height Bucks does GSW uncomfortable every shot

OKC is scarier, tbh

OKC is a legit threat. But we've already proven we can beat them even without TP. They're a two person team. We can stick ing Bonner in the starting lineup and beat them, not that we ever need to do that again. Clips, on the other hand, their players light up when they see Spurs jerseys. Pop feels forced to overcoach when playing them. Our margin for error is very small against them.

[Kawhitstorm]

Yeah, they have him figured out since Game 3. I believe he can overcome this, though. I'm not trying to bash him.

He just have to be a decoy & pick his spots. Basically, he has to give up the ball early rather than driving into a crowd then picking up his dribble.
