Yes.
Warriors are one of, if not the softest mental team in the NBA.
*WarriorRef would need to be taken out too.
Up by 20 on their home court pretty much dominating them. I think it would’ve been Spurs in 7

On one hand,TP was already out with the patella,and also,many people don't remember this but there were reports during those playoffs that #2's quad was already in a bad condition and he was playing hurt.
If there were no more injuries and Nephew could keep playing tho,i'd still have that series at 50/50,Spurs in 6 or Warriors in 7.It would be a compe ive series,for sure.
Beating a real dead carcass now
I think in 6 or 7 games, yes. I don’t know if anyone remembers the season series that year but the Spurs mopped the floor with them two out of three games they played (29 and 22 respectively) while losing one game by 12 to them. And if I recall, it was a pretty compe ive affair until late.
I wouldn’t say the Spurs had their number, but they definitely knew how to beat them. Warriors would have kicked playoff gear back in but our guys had a great shot. I think it would have been an upset and we have some regular season history to back up that the straight beating in game 1 before Zaza was no fluke.
Yes. But don’t care anymore. Can’t rewrite the past.
Yes to the original question. Spurs would have won the series and beaten the Cavs, most likely. But I don't think "Spurs in 7" is a realistic follow up. Taking Game 1 meant stealing HCA. No way we were going to win a Game 7 in Oracle, though. NBA wouldn't have let us, if nothing else.
Spurs in 6 if Leonard doesn't get hurt and we don't slip up in Game 1. That was a statement win. Like I said, all Spurs needed to do to go up 3-1 and essentially end the series was to win 2 of the next 3, two of which were at home. We likely would have lost game 2 in a close one, won games 3 and 4 (one squeaker, one comfy win), lost game 5, and finished them in game 6.
Spurs in 5 (most likely) or 6 at the most over Cleveland in the Finals that year.
Good post.
Better post.
We don't have a choice at this point. It's not likely we'll win a playoff series in 2019 nor any other year in the near future. It's probably a sad, slow disintegration into mediocrity, the cellar and ultimately relocation. All caused by Zaza using his magic Eurasian powers to transform Kawhi Leonard into a female dog.
No. Spurs matched up well with them that year. But Warriors would have still won in 6 or 7, imo.
No. Kawhi was playing injured in that series. Even if we had won Game 1, we probably still would've lost the series in 6 or 7.
Warriors could turn it up a level that the Spurs could not. Plus Kawhi had a bum ankle before Zaza.
No. I said so then. You don't give up that many points because one person left the game and think you have a chance to win the series. What, was KL going to play 48 minutes a night?
No.
Nephew was goin super sian
It was an intoxicating thing to see

It was a thing of beauty.
Another thing of beauty was that 3 online betting sites did not lock bets on the game when he went down.
You had about 5-10 minutes to quadruple your money.
It was an intoxicating thing to get paid.
very possible. people seem to be overlooking the level kawhi was playing on.
tp being out was a plus for the spurs.
no, and anyone who says yes is delusional
Winning game 1 just means spurs push the series to 6 instead of five.
Pop always had the blueprint for beating the Warriors, the Warriors just got lucky.
Doesn't matter anymore, tbh. Kawhi.
I don't know. And that's the frustrating thing. We'll never know.
no one on the warriors was able to contain kawhi in game 1. dude was on another level defensively then he is currently.
Spurs weren't losing at home to Dub s that year with a full deck of cards. We'd also won like 49 of the past 50 overall home games we'd played against them to that point.
