Popovich is going to go with the regular matchup on defense to start the game. I doubt we see Kawhi or Green on Curry for most of the game. Kawhi will be on Barnes and Green on Thompson. I just hope Curry doesn't go off with Parker guarding him to start off the game. Remember when Curry scored something like 17 points in like 2 minutes against the Kings this season. He can score at will if they aren't physical with him on defense. That half court buzzer beater he hit tonight was just incredible and he practices those every day. Anyway, a lot of reporters asked him what it will be like when they face the Spurs on Monday. He said it's just a regular season game, but the media and fans will overreact whoever loses. If the Spurs lose the narrative will be that no one can stop the warriors.

Does anyone think the spurs will play small ball at all? With LMA on Draymond for instance. They haven't really played a small ball lineup that much this season aside from the 1-pt win agains the Knicks recently.

I just wanted to say Go Spurs Go!!!!

And to do it on page one of a thread that is going to be 30 pages long by tip-off on Monday.

Win or lose be damned, I have a feeling Pop is gonna play the young guns alot to let them get their feet wet against GSW for down the road.

[SouthernFried]

Did the Spurs fly home, or stay out there?

Worriers didn't win any of the 3 quarters after the 1st against the Pacers

-No George Hill
-Monta picked up 3 quick fouls in 1st
-PG played like
-Worriers killed them on second chance points (esp. Curry)
-3 of the Pacers starters: Solomon Hill, Jordan Hill, GRIII..lol
-Had Kerr & everyone available plus the game was played at the Oracle

Played down to the compe ion once they got a lead tbh.

Look for a different level of energy against us.

It's early but I'm doing this now since I'll be at the game. Epic, regular season clash of the ans. Let's get this one and get closer to getting the 1 seed.

So will you be rocking your Spurs gear or do you go incognito? Make a sign like the dude from Taiwan at the Lakers game. He got a lot of air time. In any event, have fun!

It sucks that I'm going to be watching this on a crappy stream instead of my paid League Pass subscription.

Pretty sure there is a free league pass trial on right now for a few more days for those who don't get the game.

This game will not be a big deal. The Warriors are getting all the attention with a 40-4 record, but the Warriors are having to play out of their minds to be there. The Spurs, meanwhile are just being themselves and playing normal Spurs ball and sit at 38-6, only 2 games behind. The Warriors will be tired and injured by the end of the season. You have 1 solid player on the Warriors, meanwhile the Spurs have 7-8 players on any given night who can be the difference maker in the game.

Also, since defeating the Warriors in the playoffs 3 years ago, the Spurs are 6-2 over the last 8 games vs. the Warriors. Trust me, this game is not a big deal for the Spurs. For Duncan, Manu, Tony who've been together 14 years and 4 les, and DPOY/Finals MVP Kawhi, the Warriors are a JV high school team.

The trial doesn't help. I have a subscription, but they black out "national TV" games, which includes NBA TV, even if you don't have that channel--or like me, don't have cable at all. And they're blacked out even during the free trial.

Lol even pop said the players are hyped up. You are more self-righteous than the spurs players themselves.

Honestly, this game has me hyped. Its like an extension of the football games we get on Sunday. Its going to be great.

You and me both bud

I don't know if I'm buying into the hype too much but this feels like the biggest "regular season" game of the decade for us or something

[Texas_Ranger]

some people are way overexited about this game. If the Spurs start slow they lose by 20, if starters play good it will be close. I still think the Warriors win by 10.

[littlecoyotecoin]

If the Republicans don't win... I really hope Bernie wins instead of that deceitful s bag HRC. Bernie is so honest and likable. Would rather have a 90% tax on salary over $10m than to put up with HRC's destructive agenda.

Holy nonsequitir, Batman.

I think most of know in the back of our minds that though the players will be excited and play hard, Pop is likely going to tinker a bit and not show all his cards. He'll see the Dubs three more times. This is just the first chance to gauge some match ups and see where an advantage might lie.

The two in April will be much bigger. Those two games alone could decide the top seed.
