Yup. I was telling my girlfriend how the announcers were discrediting the spurs. Annoying
If The warriors would have killed or beat this spurs team, everybody would have been on golden states nuts. nobody outside of Spurs fans saying "its just one game", am i right?

No doubt. The hype train would be going off the rails.
SA beating GS in Oracle is a big win period, and could have implications for seeding at the end of the year. First game or not, was a great win for the spurs.
"If" I had a billion dollars i'd be a billionaire...
Spurs second tier, tbh...
Third tier with Toronto and Boston, according to Lowe. Don't have the upside of LAC.
Yer surprised we haven't heard somebody was playing injured or still recovering from some injury or not back to where they were before some injury or broke a fingernail yesterday or somethin.
So you've been rooting for the Spurs how long that you are surprised by this?
This place is as wired up as if the Spurs had won the WCF, and were headed to another Finals.l I don't really give a rat what Reggie Miller says. And Kenny is going to be eating that "5 losses" prediction for at least half a season. I got everything I could have wanted out of tonight, so I'm not going looking for anything to about.
Truthfully I was just hoping we didn't get blown out
The media (Mike Wilbon for example) seems to be giving Warriors a pass because of all the turnover to their roster, as if the Spurs didn't have as much turn over. Because of Danny's injury we had two new starters. But the narrative of "give 'em time" only seems to go one way.
Didn't see the game yet; but if this is not a fluke, then it seems they are first tier to me.
Start of the season, I didn't think Spurs could compete on paper against GSW. Watching this game, I'm convinced Spurs can make the finals and beat the Cavs.
The problem with GSW is they lost a defensive. Spurs are just too big for them. The other problem is they did not gain as much offensively, there's just one ball and the odd man out seems to be Klay Thompson.
The give them time argument is valid. Of course it doesn't consider Spurs getting much better over time too!
The truth though that is very clear, GSW can't defend the rim. The only guy who is a rim-protector, McGee was dunked on by Simmons. What a statement!
Just search google news for articles, if the Spurs are even mentioned in the headline 90% of the "analysis" is Dubs
the way we like it, tbh
100% agree.
19th in watchability ratings.. lol

Wow...
We were lamenting not just our own roster TO, but the fact that most of the roster TO came from very young guys, and beyond those, team is relying in a youngster and Simmons, who is 27 and has been very up down and I legit was wondering if he could turn a corner. Danny is injured.
Awww well, if anything we have reason to be upbeat: Simmons showed up with highlights tonight but he's hardly the only bench guy capable of scoring. I am very excited about the young guys, all of them.
And Ppl still continue with the Kawhi = system player, not a real MVP candidate, etc. What can I say? LMA criminally underrated even by the Spurs fan too.
Pau was disappointing. The issues on defense showed. Anyways, the Spurs have upside.
Agree on all counts. Pau may just have been in the Duncan role where Golden State is a horrible matchup for him. We'll have to see how he goes through the next few games....Wow...

Mike & Mike trying to act like this game didn't happen. Nothing but beisbol (fatball) coverage
I don't think there's anything "straight" about ending a thread le with two periods.
I think it's valid to say it's just one game. I agree with that "in a vacuum". In part it is understandable because of how they look on paper.
What bothers me is when they make it all about the Warriors, like they do when it's Lebron.
Also although we don't know for sure, it is very likely the OP is right in that they would have gone with some "this is what we will see all year" narrative. Then again, it has been like this for years.
That said, still amazing and still enjoyed it too much. Awesome performance at a very timely moment.. I hope it becomes a trend for the Spurs to be this good.
Kawhi was a beast, and was very confident.
Pau could get a bit better, but also we all knew GSW wasn't the best matchup for him.
Golden State wont win 60 this year they are gonna struggle they will crumble under the pressure with their "superteam" and high expectations.... em... too many teams are gonna gun for them!!!
and thats not if injuries are involved....
Yeah...the "system" stuff is annoying. Kawhi is a bad man. We've also been blessed with some skilled players over the years. While the "system" helps, it's not everything. The way Shaq overly complimented "the system" in the post game, really discredits the Spurs individual talent.Wow...
