No shame in losing to the Warriors, tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

As many of us have been saying since 2015, they play a different level of basketball than the rest of the NBA, despite their fluky, league-assisted loss in last year's Finals, tbh..

Their 2015-present stretch is the best I've ever seen from an NBA franchise, and as Joe Lacob stated, they are light years ahead of the league..this narrative that the Warriors' lost significant depth was just silly and fear-driven The only hope for the rest of the league was that Curry's slump would extent into the playoffs, but it was short-lived..

Spurs are still a great team, they should get to the WCFs, which is a nice accomplishment for a franchise still playing certain players out of loyalty..no shame in being 2nd best, tbh

[BatManu20]

Best team in the league tbh, with or without Durant. Still think we meet them in the WCF though.

Not even arguable, tbh, no-brainer..

Their roster build-up is nearly flawless, a rotation with no 2-way liabilities(Curry is an average defender, Zaza is an average offensive player, that's the closest you'll get) and the ability to play any type of style..

League-assisted loss?

[Robz4000]

Just sucks. The Spurs are just one piece away from challenging them (a penetrating PG that can suck in a defense), but I don't see any way the Spurs can acquire one until 2018 and by then they'll prolly need a replacement for LMA.

[PopTheGOAT]

I think we can beat them without Durant. But of course, Durant will be there.
I think the only chance in we have against a complete GS team is if Kawhi goes full-on D Wade '06 finals mode.
That or Simmons gets significant minutes and somehow looks like he did in the opener over the entire series. We just need someone to go ape or have a guard step up big time

Spurs don't have the personnel to compete with them, tbh..the frontcourt advantage was the reason they were able to pound them early on, but even that was short-lived once the Warriors adjusted and raised their intensity..

The Spurs are a star PG away from winning IMO, but they'll have to rebuild most of the roster by the time they acquire one..

[Arcadian]

Yeah, I mean, they led by 22. That's gotta mean something.

Maybe they're not good enough to beat the Warriors, but at least they're good enough to temporarily build a huge lead before blowing it! Not many teams can do that, even.

[Darius Bieber]

There is shame in losing to them at home, no Durant, coming off of a back to back, with a 20+ point lead in the first quarter. But we already know this team is trash anyways so whatever.

[eDizzle20]

The Warriors are a very unselfish team that are the pinnacle of today's NBA of the long ball. There's no doubt this Warriors team should take the le.

[timtonymanu]

Warriors have figured out without Durant. That's scary. They have always been the favorite to win the le. Still, them.

[FkLA]

They really had no business losing last year. It was nice to see but definitely flukey. ers are good, tbh.

[G-Dawgg]

The Warriors showed us up with small ball. Kawhi showed us his small balls....

All that size the Spurs acquired in the offseason looked like it really bothered the Warriors.

I didn't say it would work, I said it was their strategy, which JVG and Jackson echoed Spurs even attacked the glass, which they never do vs. any other team, typically..clearly strategical vs. the Warriors..

pop trying to copy what the thunder did last year. It's all moot until they get a all star caliber guard

[AFMadison]

One game guys, holy shyt. Spurs will have much more consistent fire in the postseason. This was a bad game from all but maybe 3 guys. They had great performances with Andre and DWest, meanwhile we have our worst defenders on their all-stars. Calm the frick down. I'd much rather go into the playoffs with this loss than a season sweep of the Warriors. We need more fire and this should give em that.

What indicates to you they will have more consistency in the post season other than hope and homerism?

Ah yes, the fire in the post season... like last year when they got manhandled by OKC in the second round... or the year before that when they got ousted in the first round by the Clippers. This team is trash, everyone knows it.

[phxspurfan]

They hit more shots than us. Next game maybe we play for 48 minutes instead of 12.

LeGOAT pulled that le straight out of his ass last year. It was truly impressive.

[unleashbaynes]

You gotta beat a team like GS up a little bit in a playoff series.....throw off that shooting

[bigfan]

It sucks but its just one game. Not the end of the world. Learn from mistakes, see you in the playoffs. We will face Houston first and they will be tough.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

It all comes down to the point where they have 4 superstars in their prime and we just have 1. It's not that complicated. hmm let me think washed Parker Manu Mills vs prime Curry Klay Livingston igaudala.
