Spurs will win on Saterday night. Home win streak will continue.
just the type of "sit-in-your-place" cute little Spur team confidence-crusher if we fail the test. ..

Spurs own them. Last game was an anomaly tbh tbh..
Non-Issue (Unless Pop pulls a 2014 tank job and wants us to get swept in the regular season just like against OKC.. Y'know to catch them off guard in the WCF)
There would be a meltdown and rightfully so..everything is pointing to a Spurs win..
Their Finals MVP is not going to play. We better ing win.
they'll be playing the Mavs a night before. The Spurs need to win this if they wanna show that they can play with them. Lose once again would be pretty bad. Especially if they lose by a lot.
Pop will probably rest Leonard and Aldridge
Not gonna lie, if we lose Saturday my spirits will be pretty crushed
It would suck, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Still the regular season, we all know this Spurs team is extremely good, even without that record, and really, not even sure I want Pop giving Thompson and Curry 48 mins of practice against Kawhi/Danny, tbh...
I'm not too worried about it, regardless to what happens. Remember we were swept by OKC in 2014, look what happened.
I hope we win obviously, but no regular season game is going to crush me at this point.
I don't want HCA vs GS. Put the pressure on them to not lose games 1-2. They'll choke
Dubs will exert extra effort to rain on our home court parade. I would hate to lose the streak to them, but I do not believe Pop will tip his playoff hand too much just to beat the Dubs and keep the streak alive.
Just as amazing as the home winning streak is the fact the Warriors haven't beaten the Spurs in San Antonio in the regular season since 1997!!! Tim was a senior at Wake and Curry was only 8!
Believe. That's all we can do.
I'm hoping for a win, but I could give a about streaks after the Spurs dropped 4 straight to OKC coming off a 20 win streak in 2012.
Winning this one would be nice. All the pressure that would increase on GS to get that record and the Spurs just had to win one more at home. Spurs are rolling and should handle them assuming they play great defense. If GS goes crazy and wins after a back-to-back, tip the hat.
Yep. Best we can hope for is Mavs give them their money's worth, maybe even take them to OT... but still lose.
When it comes to teams w/ elite PGs, Curry/Worriers are as bad a matchup for Porker as Lillard/Blazers are the most idle matchup. If he tries to run a 2-man game w/ LMA expecting the seas to part then he's going to be dribbling the air out of the ball all game long.
I fully expect Pop to play Curry straight up with Parker for at least the first quarter...per par.

After the game tonight I think Pop does want to win this but I am starting to suspect he will still tinker with lineups and put guys in experimental situations. The last time we tried that we were blown out. Some guys played a lot of minutes who are now out of the rotation and Tim didn't play.
I feel like Pop almost has to start over with K.Martin now in tow and Tim. That is the real test. So again probably some experiments. I feel like Anderson will also play some minutes just bc Pop will want to test him. He got a chance last time but he's developed confidence since then and most of his time was in garbage time, not real lineups but him with Boban, Simms, Ray and Rasual. None of those guys are playing right now. To get real film on Anderson Pop will probably need to get him 4-5 minutes.
Besides all that, we should win. I think the experiments will be for the first half again and in the second half guys will tighten up. The one thing I think Pop will not tolerate is defensive mistakes.
Should be an interesting game. I will probably write up a few essays if we loosebut I think we won't.
Considering Iggy is out, Pop should run the offense through Kawhi (PnP w/ LMA instead of trying to post up Draymond) & go at Barnes who is a mediocre wing defender (got destroyed by LeBron
It doesn't mean Porker has to stand in the corner but he shouldn't be stubborn if he can't breakdown the defense on an initial set coming off the loop. He should be cutting like K-Mart when LMA/Kawhi postup.
Another play I hope Pop doesn't call is the now dreaded 4-down for Timmay against Bogut trying to establish the paint.
If I see a Tim/Bogut post up I'll know Pop isn't taking the game seriousConsidering Iggy is out, Pop should run the offense through Kawhi (PnP w/ LMA instead of trying to post up Draymond) & go at Barnes who is a mediocre wing defender (got destroyed by LeBron

Keep it real. Pop will not show his playoff game plan. He does not care about this game as much as the fans do. He will try to win as long as he does not have to show his playoff hand.
Pistons used to give Ben Wallace the ball on the 1st possession of EVERY game to keep him engaged so I won't be surprised if Pop did it.If I see a Tim/Bogut post up I'll know Pop isn't taking the game serious
