Never had a chance to begin with tbh.
Thanks Obama

We're tied. We could win out.
Have chance at matching it if Porky is out for the season.
Parker wasn't the reason Monta scrub Ellis went for 26 and he wasn't the reason the Spurs shot 4-28 behind the arc. Oh, and Parker was much better than the combination of Ginobili and Kyle "Magic" Anderson who were a combined 1-10 with 1 assist in 36 minutes of game action.
Big Dummy, Porky's backup is Patty not Head.
Warriors look very vulnerable again, they arent the same team they were pre all star break
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Monta Ellis has always had our number. In fact, any flashy, shoot first PG has our number. They run all over us. Darren Collison, Reggie Jackson (not really a shoot first then but now he is), Steve Nash, Goran Dragic, (Oddly we hold Chris Paul down somehow), Steph.. they all do. That's because we don't have anyone who can defend against a PG, and we have to hide Tony behind someone like Cousins until he gets the ball at which time we try to rotate. Cory Joseph was one of the better PG defenders we've seen and he wasn't fantastic.
I thought stupi.., I mean Danny Green was the pg stopper. He's suppose to be guarding Curry in the WCF's.
Danny's too big to stop the PG. He's a defender who works best improvising in transition. You need a smaller person to guard a smaller person, unless Danny is going to give up the 3.
The Spurs sure do hold down Chris Paul when he's HEALTHY like last year's playoff series.
No one on the Spurs can stop Steph Curry. DG sure as can't and neither can TP or Kawhi. I believe the Spurs will have to defend everyone else and hope he doesn't go off. They just need to find a way to limit his damage and make him work on the other end of the court. Thank goodness Kevin Martin is coming, they will need his shooting. DG's shooting woes continue. Open shot after open shot continue to clang.
The team has been average post all star break but Curry has been bailing them out. Coach Kerr even mentioned it after the Magic game last night.
Exactly. Problem is Parker cannot be hidden anymore. He will be easy to exploit against OKC and the Warriors. Livingston would just post him up, Barnes would post him up. Waiters looked like an all star last time and Donovan exploited that matchup. We all know what Westbrook would do to Parker. Not to mention the Clippers. It really sucks CoJo isn't on the team anymore. He would've really helped guarding Curry. We can't expect Green and Leonard to guard Curry because it's a risk of them being in foul trouble plus Kerr would run them through endless screens.
If the Warriors break the Bulls 72-10 record as a Bulls/Spurs fan I will be ok with it. The NBA is different now than it was in the 90's, you can't even touch a player today without having a foul called. 72 wins in 1996 was very impressive, the game was tougher, and still will be more impressive even if the Warriors break it. Now they will have to win it all this season to back that up say they do it, because it doesn't mean a thing without the ring. That Warriors team will have more pressure on them if they break the Bulls record, they would be the clear favorites to win it all. They have had many close games this season they pretty much nabbed, the playoffs are entirely different.
The Spurs don't need to worry about catching the Warriors but holding onto the 2nd seed and maintaining a better record than the Cavs, Raps. No matter what the Warriors are the defending NBA champs and until some team dethrones them, it will still be that way. To get the Larry O'Brien back, you will have to beat the Warriors as of now. It's all about Curry, he is hitting so many insane shots this season which is why they have had such a great regular season. The Warriors can play D, but will live and die by the jumper. I don't think they are unbeatable in the playoffs, they are. Let them worry about winning 70 games, the Spurs need to stay healthy and get ready for trying to win championship #6.
yes but Bulls team win 72 games in a watered down league. The NBA added two expansion teams that year. Not only are those 8 easy wins (I think Griz were in east back then but if not, 6 easy wins) but those teams could take the 8th best player on every team leading to an overall watered down league. GSW run will be just as impressive as the Bulls run.
The league (in my memory) has never been worse than it is this year. The worst teams - Lakers and Sixers are as bad or worse than expansion teams. Throw in a bunch of bad middle of the road teams and you get the gaudy Warriors and Spurs records. The 1995 Bulls would have toyed and crushed the Warriors. The comparison is outright comical tbh. They probably would have blasted this Spurs team too.
66 or 67 wins will be the final tally..
The 1995-96 Bulls were good, but you are fooling yourself if you don't think GSW are on their level. They would easily outshoot Chicago. Spurs would match up well with the Bulls as well. Both GSW and Spurs are deeper than that Bulls team.
1995/96: The NBA and Canada was always a natural match, as James Naismath the famed inventor of the sports was a Canadian. However after the Toronto Huskies folded after the NBA's first season in 1947 it took nearly 50 years for the NBA to return to the Great White North, as the Vancouver Grizzlies were on of two Canadian teams to join the league in 1995. The Grizzlies would get off to a solid start stunning the Portland Trailblazers on the road 92-80 on November 3rd. Two nights later the Grizzlies had a successful home debut at General Motors Place by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 100-98. However the Grizzlies would lose their next 19 games, as they went on to finish in last place in the Midwestern Division with a NBA worse record of 15-67, as only four Grizzlies averaged ten ppg, with Greg Anthony leading the way with a mediocre 14.0 ppg. In addition the Grizzlies and the NBA's other Canadian expansion team the Toronto Raptors would split two games.
1 B. J. Armstrong Point guard United States
Chicago Bulls 3 Tony Massenburg Forward Los Angeles Clippers 5 Andres Guibert Forward-Centre Cuba
Minnesota Timberwolves 7 Keith Jennings Point guard Golden State Warriors 9 Dontonio Wingfield Forward Seattle SuperSonics 11 Doug Smith Forward Dallas Mavericks 13 Jerome Kersey Small forward Portland Trail Blazers 15 Zan Tabak Centre Croatia
Houston Rockets 17 Willie Anderson Guard-Forward San Antonio Spurs 19 Ed Pinckney Forward Milwaukee Bucks 21 Acie Earl Centre Boston Celtics 23 B. J. Tyler Point guard Philadelphia 76ers 25 John Salley Power forward Miami Heat 27 Oliver Miller Centre Detroit Pistons
Raptors roster was horrid as well.
MJ, Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman and John Salley playing small ball? 2015 rules? Good Lord. You're the one fooling yourself. Curry would be lucky to get 10 shots off.
The league isn't "watered down" now with 30 teams? Nearly 1/3rd of which tanking ever year for draft picks? One conference ALWAYS losing to the other overall (win%) every single year?
And no the Grizzlies were not in the east. Vancouver is near Seattle which is about as west as it gets.
