    I think they are better against the Spurs without Bogut and Iguodala.
    Bogut, ya, probably..

    Iguodala is huge against the Spurs, though..

    I agree. Manu at 100% would have made this game a lot less nerve racking.
    Manu made a lot of bad passes per par. He giveth and he taketh.....

    Spurs have to play absolutely perfect to defeat the Warriors in a 7 game series. There's no denying that. The Warriors are the defending champs and are literally having the best season in NBA history. Amazing that there are still people on this forum with their heads buried in the sand saying the Warriors will be exposed soon enough. What more can the Warriors do? Go 82-0?

    Spurs can win with historically one of the best defense ever, stop turning the ball over so easily, LA and Diaw being able to take advantage of smaller players, and hitting a good 3 point %.

    [QUOTE=midnightpulp;8487639]There's no reason this shouldn't have been a 20 point stomping (and at one point, the Spurs were looking to blow this thing wide open) The Warriors have been giving up big points on good efficiency to mediocre/ ty teams like the Mavericks, Lakers, Suns, Pelicans, etc. Yes, the Warriors didn't take those games seriously, but I don't think they just can turn on/off their defense to level that can hold the Spurs offense at home to 87 points, and I think the reason this wasn't a blowout is because of nerves and pressure on the Spurs part.

    Now that they got the Warrior monkey off their back, I think they'll play much more confidently on offense in the next matchup.[/QUOTE]

    I don't think the Warriors have won in San Antonio since 1997,,,what monkey are you talking about, Mid?,,,,

    This isn't an anti-Spurs thread..they can play better, too..

    It's just stating how terrifying the Warriors are, tbh..this isn't Lebron's Heat or Kobe/Pau's Lakers..this team is much scarier IMO..
    Oh sure. The Warriors are better than the Spurs. They'll have to play at least an A- series to have a chance against these guys.

    A lot of spin doctors in here after this win. The games with the Warriors will always be close because they are great shooting team and they are good at forcing turnovers. The Warriors also got bs favoritism from the refs. Don't give a that the Warriors came off a back to back since they are a very young team. When your a young team back to backs have little to no influence on your performance.
    That's the point of this thread..you can't put them away, it's terrifying..

    Spurs players and coaches could have been in awe of what gs is doing and then they destroyed them last game

    It's just stating how terrifying the Warriors are, tbh..this isn't Lebron's Heat(they had obvious flaws and the Spurs offense philosophy matched up perfectly against Miami's style of swarming defense) or Kobe/Pau's Lakers(where the Spurs just didn't have the talent to beat them)..this team is much scarier IMO..
    Everybody knows this. You're just stating the obvious tbh.

    GS is in danger of running into fatigue/injuries, especially deep in the playoffs. From here on out GS has to go all in to break the Bulls' record and go onto win the 'ship. Tired legs will also have an impact on their 3pt shooters, it could ultimately lead to their demise against a very well rested Spurs team just starting to peak.

    That's not true, at all

    There are still a lot of posters here that are still in denial about both Curry as an individual and the Warriors as a team..

    I'm really getting tired of hearing people hand-wave the Warriors' shooting woes by saying "They are missing shots they normally make." When you have to take so many bad shots, eventually you get so out of rhythm that you miss shots you make. Players aren't statistics. Their shots aren't IID. Will Curry play better going forward? Yes. But people like Mid who think the Splash Bros. are averaging 70 against the Spurs are way off base. In fact, this game would have been a blowout had GS' role-players not shown up. Who know if that happens in the playoffs?
    After the 30 point thrashing at GS (in which Curry dropped 37 in 28 minutes), and considering how the Spurs typically have problems with athletic, high scoring back courts (Lillard and McCollum just combined for 50), I had no reason to believe otherwise. Also, Klay really isn't the main part in that equation. Curry showed in the first matchup he's capable of scoring at a 50 ppg pace against us. He's obviously not going to average 50 over a playoff series, but he's more than capable of averaging 30-35, with Klay pitching in 20-25.

    Furthermore, I didn't say they would average 70, just that they are capable of scoring that in any given game, and two players who are capable of scoring those points is tough obstacle to overcome.

    This game has renewed my confidence somewhat, but I still worry about our comparative lack of firepower. Like I said in another post, I hope it was just nerves that prevented the Spurs from beating down these s by 20.

    I've already said we aren't beating this team if both are at full health,,,,no chance. We go to their building and they slaughter us by 30,,,,they come to ours and they have a horrendous game and still have a chance to win with 2 minutes to go in the 4th.
    Then go put your life savings on the Warriors in Vegas if its so obvious... you wont you pussy cuck, sit the down

    Great point heat. They will be a tough out for anyone. Question is, who else can beat them the rest of the season?
    62-7 well I guess

    I read a post of yours earlier suggesting Curry may struggle to get to 20 on occasion vs the Spurs. I appreciated the sentiment, but thought you were slightly optimistic. Mah nig.

    Well, until a series happens between them, you can't really say they are better. All we know is that tonight didn't prove and that both teams can play better.

    The Movin screen is dead. McAdoo & Barnes get a couple of slashes each that Iggy would have got in any event and yer maybe Iggy helps on D more, but play Bogut more at their peril. Kawhi got robbed and did well to stay so professional. Ffs Delavedova man handled Curry well & he only had his role playing mate LeBrian to help. We got the team and we're coming.

    It's important to note that we were pretty much playing against their small ball of death (or whatever it's called) and held them under 80. Iggy helps them to improve their versatility on O and D but it is impressive none-the-less that we held such an explosive lineup to such a low score. We still need to see our full line up vs theirs so not to much we can draw for this game.
