The point is that the Spurs are much less reliant on a single player than the Warriors are. That's the Spurs biggest advantage over the Warriors.
The cir stances of the Suns and Mavs are beside the point.
I thought Dallas was a playoff team? They don't suck

We still rely on Kawhi for a lot of things. We look old without him. Trust me. I've seen it on many occasions. You should have learned that last year.
Of course you're right, I don't dispute that at all. Kawhi is unequivocally our best player and we're going nowhere without him. All I'm saying is that the Spurs without Kawhi are much better than the Warriors without Curry.
I would agree the Kawhi/Curry comparison would be better. But also Dallas is a pretty good team, whereas the Suns, especially without Bledsoe are more accessible
I can agree with this. Not that any team would go anywhere tbh.
Let's face it, Kawhi is the franchise player now. Tim is still Tim, but I don't think it's a matter of IF we consider Kawhi the franchise player.
But the Warriors have been beating EVERYBODY. They lost one game, but for the season the best anyone has been able to do is keep it close with them. They didn't get blown out by the Mavs because Ezeli was out. Okay, everybody has bad nights. But so far, they don't have bad nights when Curry is in the game. It's no coincidence that they had one tonight. And they would have a lot more, if Curry went down to an injury. We see the Spurs without important players all the time, thanks to Pop.
Of course, it's all moot unless Curry does have a long-term injury. Because with him in there, they're going to be a to beat. Not unbeatable in a series, but damned hard.
If that was your point, then it's well taken. The bit about Tim probably didn't help your argument. 'Nuff said.
By the way, it's obvious that the W are going nowhere without Curry, but it's not just him.
I also think they have zero chance in a series against us without Klay.
The Suns are playing worse than the Sixers right now
Home game against the Suns (without Bledsoe) without a 40 year-old Duncan =/= road game against Dallas without your best player + 3 other rotation guys
I mean I agree our depth is an advantage...but the two situations aren't remotely comparable.
the Warriors tbh. Cry babies. "Im NBA's best SG", proceed to fold when he had the best oportunity to back that up.
Yeah, I should have left that part out. My bad. But the point still stands.
Since 2013 the Spurs are a mundane .500 team without Kawhi Leonard.
Of those three, only Barnes really matters.
GS won't be playing with the Steph we know against the Spurs as long as Kawhi/Green aren't in foul trouble.
GS is without Barnes too and that's a bigger hit without Curry. Forces more lineups with non-typical rotation guys. Spurs can afford to be without one or even three guys (see Philly 50 point game) because of depth. In playoffs, that depth isn't as critical.
Whatever the matchups and who's injured or not - after all the GS hype the Spurs are only 2.5 games behind them with well over a half season to go. Not bad Spurs. Not bad.
Even if some people think it's pathetic to celebrate Warriors losses...
So we cross our fingers that curry isn't 100 percent in the playoffs. We have games against them late in the season. Boban... You know what to do

Warriors honestly just lucked out in the finals last year when half of the Cavs team was out due to injury. Without Curry, the Warriors are exposed. Hopefully NBA teams will finally realize that they don't have to be so gung-ho about defending Curry and bite on every 3 pointer he throws up. Instead, just give him as many pull up shots he wants but just play defense on everybody else.
Also, LOL at Iguodala trying to downplay how much the Warriors rely on Steph Curry and preventing trash talk by doing damage control:
"I think people forget we've got like four guys out," said Andre Iguodala, who had 12 points. "We've been playing at such a high level, that gets overlooked sometimes."
