They're just a slight bit better this time around, don't you think?
No Draymond? The dude played over 30mpg in that series... he was their 6th man as GSW started a big lineup back then with Ezeli and Bogut starting together.
Only major difference was they have Iguodala now instead of David Lee, and Livingston instead of Jarrett Jack.
They had shrek at that time, he just never played. Rookie.
No, way better coached- that GS team was coached by Mark Jackson with nothing but hyperbole and cliché sayings.
Jarred Jack was prob their 2nd best player that series.
He played 40 minutes in game 1... lol.
also, Kerr is overrated as a coach.
Sincerely... the Dublets are the most overrated team in the history of professional sports. A bunch of soft volume shooters with big mouths and a lot of regular season luck. We'll squash them and make them cry in the WCF, no doubt.
I meant not the current incarnation of Draymond. The one being held back by Mark Jackson. He probably would have played more that series if Lee didn't come back for 12 minutes a game by the final two.
And that Jarrett Jack performance makes some people from this board want to trade Patty for him. Livingston and Iggy, plus improvement by Steph, are enormous.
Right, as I said.....they're better. You need HCA if you can get it from them.
This begs the question: is this the worst the NBA has ever been as a whole?
do you know how seeding works in the nba playoffs?
if spurs get the #1 seed it means more than just having an extra home against golden state. it means golden state and okc would have to duke it out before playing us.
A very long shot but the Spurs can actually say they control their own destiny to the first seed if they win out.
Spurs won't beat GS more than once during the regular season if that. Spurs don't have the firepower to keep up with GS.
Insanely long. Dubs have been almost unbeatable when at full strength (in the regular season). But maybe, they're going to start slumping. Today, for the first time all year, Curry just looked like sh**. He's the motor that makes them run.
Time to prepare for 'Operation Golden Fake Warriors'.
Since game 25 for each team -- the point at which GST lost for the first time -- the Spurs have the better record:
GST started 24-0 and is now 55-6 (31-6 since Game 25)
SA started 19-5 and is now 53-9 (34-4 since Game 25)
Of course, they're 1-0 (and the Spurs are 0-1) where it counts the most.
I agree on Kerr, but he at least created some semblance of an offense system. Mark pretty much just brought his "hand down man down, momma there goes that man, etc" stupid TV broadcast sayings to the huddle and called it coaching.
The Warriors have only 17th best Net rating in the NBA post-All Star break despite going 7-2 in that span...they have been squeaking out Ws relying on Curry heroics..Obviously the Blazers mega blowout inflates it, this still a pretty mediocre stretch from a team on +70 win pace..That's why it would be foolish for Pop wave the white flag this early on chasing them..Aside from Tony, almost all our key players got a an occasional rest or just playing low minutes anyway..
106.9 Def rating is not good, tbh.The Warriors have only 17th best Net rating in the NBA post-All Star break despite going 7-2 in that span...they have been squeaking out Ws relying on Curry heroics..Obviously the Blazers mega blowout inflates it, this still a pretty mediocre stretch from a team on +70 win pace..That's why it would be foolish for Pop wave the white flag this early on chasing them..Aside from Tony, almost all our key players got a an occasional rest or just playing low minutes anyway..

Woah. Good post. I haven't been following their games super close, but I know they have had above average compe ion over that span and have had some 3 point struggles (which is obviously their bread and butter). Have they had other notable problems over that span?
Keep in mind the Spurs only have 4 more games against sub-.500 teams (and only 1 at home). Warriors have 11, and 8 of those are at home.
Just spitballing here: Spurs are on a 8 game win streak. What if they were to extend it to 20 and counting while the GS losses creep up higher? All the sudden, the dialogue could change to the Spurs breaking the Bulls' record.
Open your eyes, they have been slumping since the all star break, they are very beatable and have won several tightly contested games
They lucked out vs. OKC; but typically at full strength, they're still manhandling most teams.
I have thought of that, would be funny, but the odds are super long with the schedule we have. If we get through Golden State still on a win streak, then maybe we have a shot.Just spitballing here: Spurs are on a 8 game win streak.

They got bodied by the Heat and snuck out a W. They got crushed by Portland and LA. They got lucky against Atlanta in OT. And squeaked by the Clippers by 3. And the OKC game wasnt convincing at Oracle until they pulled away late. Magic even kept it close for a large portion of the game.
Good points. We'll see if the trend continues.
