Exactly, thats what cASSual fans do.
If the Warriors had won like that it would be the opening story on all sport shows today and would be the main story on all sport websites, tbh. But; since we won it will be moved to 3rd or 4th story on shows and be buried on the websites. It's not the main story on any site this morning. Really ing lame.
You guys ain't gonna wanna hear what Screamin A just said on First Take....
He said the Warriors were just not making shots, the Spurs had aberrations all over the place, and that Kawhi can't score or hit free throws like he did yesterday
He then said they had to adjust to chemistry, which Max quickly responded that the Spurs did as well with replacing Duncan and Screamin A had this unimpressed smug look as he said that
ESPN's article is 90% Warrior's quotes and about how well Durant played...with occasional snippets about how the Spurs completely dismantled them.
Just livin' det under the radar life. I'm fine with it.
Spurs fans can count on some things to remain constant.
...or locker room explosions.
I don't look to analyst who watch maybe 10% of Spurs games that I do.
Spurs were wrecking the league last year without Duncan or Parker for stretches. The only main loss from last year was Boban as his bench play sustained late leads which this team in the past use to give up.
But its looking like Simmons has upped his game and Bertans is the deal as I have already expressed. Plus Dedmon is a better rebounder and defender than Boban. So all in all, the only major loss the Spurs had from last year was Duncan. And honestly speaking Duncan was pretty bad the 2nd half of the season due to his knee injury. When Gasol finds his groove in this system, the Spurs will be that much better.
Even Lee impressed me last night. He has been improving defensively every game since the preseason much like LMA did last year. Lee is an upgrade over West. Dedmon is an upgrade over Boban (defensively). Bertans is an upgrade over Bonner. Spurs are better this year IMO. I loved Kawhi's postgame interview. Like he said, he wants to take that leadership role Duncan had. Duncan was a natural leader (a rarity), but leadership can be taught and instilled. And its great to see Kawhi wanting and willing to accept that role.

Just typical media coverage of the Spurs, tbh... And excuses for the "darling" of the moment.
Kawhi's post game interview was excellent in terms of content. He will probably never become very relaxed or comfortable in those interviews, but that's okay. What I will miss about Tim's leadership style (and what I would love to see Kawhi pick up) is being the last guy off the floor at game's end - waiting to tousle each teammate's hair or slap his butt before heading to the locker room himself. That is such a patriarchal image of Tim that will always make me tear up (now that it is forever gone).
Kawhi getting to the line 14 times on his own (plus another on the Draymond yapping technical) in just 32 minutes is a great sign. Shows he's taking control, starting to get foul calls like a star, and knocking down all of his FTs. On the road no less.
Only 26 instances last year of a player on the road getting to the line that many times excluding the 3D's (Dwight, DeAndre and Drummond - hacked). And the list of guys who did it multiple times includes the usual suspects.
- Harden (7)
- Cousins (6)
- Westbrook (2)
- Durant (2)
- Unibrow (2)
- Butler (1)
- George (1)
- DeRozan (1)
- Marc Gasol (1)
- Kemba (1)
- Isaiah Thomas (1)
- Shabazz Muhammad (1 - against GS)
