I think they can win a tough series if everything goes right but would be tough to beat GSW then Cleveland. But it's early, maybe they'll find a better rhythm at the right time.
They're kind of in the doldrums right now. Can win games even so, but there's a gear they're not hitting. I'm not sure if they will be able to with the current crop, but they can still be awfully good.

Since we are speaking of Pop and his mind games I have heard Chris Broussard say in three different locations (shows) that he fears that Pop will sit his studs in the remaining games against the Dubs, as a mind game and to not give anything away if we meet in the playoffs. I know Broussard isn't the most popular guy on this site but it is something that I can easily see Pop doing, fine be damned.
The remaining games are in SA. No ing way in is he resting any of the games.
You must not know Pop much.
It'd be pretty smart.
I think he also said something like "...I have no clue...". At least the quote I remember reading this morning.
I disagree. If we had beaten them twice and this last game is towards the end of the season it makes slightly more sense. Since we've only beaten them once on opening day, to sit our stars as a "mind game", to me, would be like getting a good first punch in a fight and then running as a "mind game" to your opponent. To me, all it shows is that we are scared of losing. No reason to not play them again and get our guys more confidence that we can beat them.
Ehh, I'm ok with where the Spurs are at right now. I get why Pop says that but I don't know why fans wouldn't be happy. Probably the same fans who were saying we wouldn't be a 50 win team this year.
Nah..
I doubt Pop does that because having such a different team from last season and GSW itself having changed, I am sure Pop wants to get as much experience for those guys as possible.
What he may do however, is play funky lineups and everyone in his deep bench (he did so last season too)... just because his guys are young at the end of the bench and he may want to discover if they can help or not and to get them experience as well. Ppl will say he threw away a game maybe, but for Pop it's all in the grand scheme of things... Can Murray help and have a CoJo like game in the playoffs if one of the PG is injured for example? That kid needs the experience... the same for others. Anyways, it's not even CIA Pop, it might be common sense.
I usually hate this, but this season I have no problem with it. The Spurs have failed to get to the Warriors the last two seasons, but Pop will need every trick in the book to take them down.
We will not show his full hand. He did last year.
