even though i'm not a fan of our frontcourt or of tony getting PT... i'd pick the spurs to win the series if kawhi was healthy (and curry was out).
If I am Kerr I don't bring him back against the spurs... there is bound to be frustration and he has already been tweaking ankles even without the team having Zaza type goons....It would have to be 2-2 for them to even think about bringing him back IMO..although I suppose going against Patty and Porky could be a nice way to eliminate rust for future series'
the highlight is Curry's injury but watch Thomson just block Pau and him fall backwards
Plus there is this guy: Dejounte 1st Team All DEfense!!!!

Warriors with the 1st round bye.
Of course, Aldridge plays best when there's no pressure so naturally he'd say that.
Spurs in 6 tbh
Warriors may be a little over confident and it is time for the Spurs to catch a break or two...
No pressure! LMA should be a beast then.
Warriors will lose one game. The Spurs have been terrible on the road. Unless Kawhi comes back the Spurs will not get past the first round.
Practical Me: Unless freezes over and Kawhi comes back, it'll most likely be Warriors in 5 mayyyyyybe 6.
Homer Me: Spurs in 7, GSG!!
FiveThirtyEight
has the Spurs at 44% to win first round, 23% second round, 6% WCF, 3% Championship
44% is almost just home court advantage, so a 4-3 Warriors win.
538 is more dissing the Warriors supporting the Spurs.
Spurs sweep tbh...
leading scorer: Tony
Leading assist: Manu
Leading rebound: Pau
You guys think this is bad the Rockets got the 1 seed and get a stacked pesky T-Wolves team. Spurs I think can grab a win or two vs Warriors but the Rockets vs T-Wolves could be interesting.
Sweep
Go all out, have someone break Zaza's eye socket or some .
Put $50 on the Spurs at +875
The Spurs will be outclassed by the Warriors in the first-round playoff series opening on Saturday at Oracle Arena, and it won’t be pretty, but devotees of the coaching art will be glued to the spectacle. There’s no such thing as a “breeze” when you’re going up against the best in the business. Beyond the obvious — slowing down the tempo, ideally preventing the Warriors from a transition-game blitz — Popovich will have to be especially creative against a team that has won eight of the last nine matchups, including the playoffs.Is anyone embarrassed in San Antonio over the Leonard mystery? A lot of people should be, including the man himself. Here’s one of the league’s top five players sitting out virtually the entire season with a quad injury, rejecting clearance to play from the Spurs’ medical staff and seeking outside opinions. Popovich essentially rules him out indefinitely, but offers no official word, saying it will be up to Leonard’s “group,” whatever that is.If you’re looking for some vintage Spurs with Leonard out, you’d love the ad currently running on San Antonio televison, featuring Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili in chef’s aprons, extolling the virtues of a “veggie pasta” to teammates. With their endearing accents (French and Argentine, respectively), they even sound like gourmet cooks. And it should be said that each has a little something left; Popovich gave Parker 20 minutes of floor time in Wednesday night’s season finale — the most for the 35-year-old since mid-March — and he responded with 5-for-10 shooting. Ginobili, 40 and feeling many years younger, dramatically scored eight straight points down the stretch in a victory over Portland last Saturday.
If there’s a bit of romance to it all, enjoy those precious moments when the Spurs turn back the clock. Unfortunately, it’s 2018 in real time and the Warriors have some very big plans. They’ll wrap up this series in five.
If we pull off the upset, lets make sure we spam this y old man

Spurs in 6!
Spurs in 6.
Leave Draymond open to shoot 3's, shift focus to making Durant have to play defense (Rudy), and KA can defend Durant well enough to make him work.
Manu in beast mode, Danny hitting shots and playing his usual solid defense.
LA and Pau working them over on the boards.
LA getting doubled, but passing to cutters or kicking it for shooters.
Unfortunately, Tony worries me the most right now. Minus the four shots he hit last night, his shot is in a bad state currently.
LA is going to have a good series...I won't call it redemption, because I felt like he caught too much nonsense for last year.
DJ averaging 9 boards a game and showing the world he is a defensive game changer.
Pop will put LA in high screen and roll with Mills instead of trying to force feed him on the low/mid post. Will allow the ball to move unlike last year.
GS has no answer for Rudy except Durant...Rudy is hungry.
Just need that one extra scorer. Forbes has been looking like he may be that guy. Davis should get a few looks.
Pau working high-low with LA.
if kawhi actually came back and then zaza ed him up again ...
Why think anything less!
I'm with the 'Homer Me (You).' I like the poster who said Joff could easily inadvertently injure Durbeta and change the whole series. Is Joff still on our team?
Warriors in 5 . . . 6 if the combination of them taking the Spurs lightly and being so bored to death from them causes them to slip into a comatose state and drop game 1. Spurs are due on the road, especially against this team. Unfortunately, those arrogant pricks scuffled their way to a 7-10 finish and probably know that, with diminishing energy as is, if they're to get past the Rockets, they probably can't afford to have 2 drawn out series before they get to them.
Fully expect Green to start over Gasol until they inevitably swap at some point (unless they come home with a split, probably game 3). Also expect Forbes to start as the 10th man in the rotation, but for Bertans to get a look once this overrated staff comes to grips with the reality that they can't play 3 middling to worse small guards vs a team that only plays 1.
If there's any sense left in the geniuses brain, he'll have Murray and Mills cross match on Cook and Thompson and Green and Anderson cross match on Durant and Green. He'll also trap Durant if/when he's torching them and have a short leash on both Mills and Gasol, who've repeatedly proven unplayable vs this team.
