This was not an epic meltdown by Spurs

[gospursgojas]

As BSPN would have you believe. Spurs were in complete control and it wasn't even that difficult. Kawhi goes down and all of a sudden Warriors are back to being unbeatable and Spurs shriveled up and blew huge lead. Even Steph talking like it's something they did to come back. They were oh so resilient.

This is all about Kawhi. Simple as that. Kawhi doesn't go down and Spurs win by 30.

They fought hard Golden State might be the luckiest team on the planet

wrong. epic meltdown. but it was because pau gay soft.

[davidbowie]

we did well i thought

just needed little more from LMA at the end or maybe not that ty ass simmons iso's

or some damn rebounding lol

Contrary to popular narrative there and here, Kawhi's injury wasn't the turning point. The worm was making it's way back around. That long lucky 3 by LMA was right at the beginning of the end.

You cannot expect to beat a team of all stars with rookies, role guys and old guys. It's too Hollywood to think otherwise. 2014 ain't walkin' through that door.

Just sad it had to happen this way.....Had to take out your best player to the game.......

[jiggy_55]

Rebounding killed us. Kawhi was missed there more than anything

pau gaysol was on the end of virtually every momentum killing play spurs were a part of. he's a piece of dog

[testies]

We still were in pole position to win untill all that 50/50 bull started happening. Ending with that ty ass floater by Curry that rims out 95% of times in a normal world

KL took himself out by stepping on David Lee's foot. He obviously wasn't ready to play if his ankle is that weak.

Team asterisk, how many series have they played a healthy opponent in their run the last few years

[unleashbaynes]

Shut down KL for the season. His career is not worth this.

[TampaDude]

Spurs were maintaining a 20-point margin. KL gets cheap-shotted. Dubs go on a 19-2 run. Do the math.

[Holden_Caulfield]

cant really meltdown if you lose your best offensive and defensive player all at once tbh

[james evans]

people are stupid. Leonard went down and they went on a run. how hard is that to see?

The Warriors had really not made any run up until Kawhi went down. Steph kit a couple of threes on Zaza moving screens, Durant was still no where to be found, and Draymond was about to go Draymond (tech, yelling at teammates). So I didn't see any worm.

Also, The reason those youngsters had to play was bc Kawhi went down. Again, only reason it was a close game.

You're an idiot. He had 26 points on like 60% shooting. They wouldve made a run most likely but the Spurs wouldve been much better equipped to respond with him out there. They made a run in the 2nd Qtr too and he was there to help calm the tide.

[Arcadian]

Man, we STILL should have won if we didn't give up so many offensive rebounds near the end. Kawhi would have prevented that.

[HarlemHeat37]

Obviously it was 100% related to Kawhi, anybody that says otherwise has an agenda, tbh

In case people missed the game, Leonard was absolutely dismantling their defense, they had no answer for him..he had 26 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd IIRC, he was easily going to score 40..defensively, the Spurs need Kawhi, DG and Simmons on the floor together..not only did they take out the best defender on the team, but he's also the only legitimate option to guard Dominos, too(Green and Simmons are too small)..

The missed defensive rebound cost us the game.

[RD2191]

We definitely caught the dubs off guard but no doubt we win this game had Kawhi not gotten injured.

[tholdren]

why is no one questioning why kl was in the game after the first ankle tweak?
