    no, and anyone who says yes is delusional

    Winning game 1 just means spurs push the series to 6 instead of five.
    It's your fault for starting the game thread. You're a Kobe stan and always wanted the Spurs to get injured and lose to beef up the Kobe legacy.

    Spurs would have won that series. What the Spurs were doing to the Warriors in game 1 reminded me of what the Lakers did to the Spurs in game 1 of the '01 WCF. You could tell by the Warriors faces they were in shock and depressed at the same time. Spurs had them mentally.

    And look at what the spurs did to the lakers in games 1 and 2, and okc in game 1 multiple times

    Game 1’s Don’t mean in regards to how a series will play out.

    Yes. You could see the Warriors ting their pants right before our eyes. Kerr put in a hitman. Zaza played like two minutes for the rest the series.

    Spurs were built to beat the Warriors; and they showed they were better in the regular season head to head. Game 1 was just a further manifestation of that fact. If the Warriors had lost Game 2, I could've seen a sweep, tbh.

    Teams that win game 1 win the series 80 percent of the time. Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

    86% (228-37) if a team wins Game 1 at home, however, only 50.5% (47-46) if a team wins Game 1 on the road.

    In any case, while not being favorites even after winning that game 1 the Spurs would have had a very decent chance of taking the series and would have easily been favorites in the finals.

    I think the Spurs system did a great job of not over-relying on LMA against the Warriors. Kawhi was the lynch pin. He was the one who had to perform, and he had shown he was finally up to the task.

    Kawhi was MJ like that game. He built off the Memphis and Houston rounds. No way were those plodders going to stop him that WC finals. even Rockets last season win if CP0 doesn’t twang that hammy tbh. Those strummers have been insanely lucky.

    Up until that series, Spurs actually had a winning record against the warriors for those 3 consecutive years. When the Warriors won the le in 2015, Spurs and Warriors tied the regular series 2-2. In 2016 when the Warriors won 73 games, the regular series was tied 2-2. In 2017, the Durant year, Spurs won the regular series 2-1. No other team had a better record against the Warriors. So up 20+ and just destroying them really, game 1 on the Warriors floor, there is no question spurs had a chance to dethrone them.

    Pop found out in game 1 he could hide Mills on Draymond, so I think Spurs had a good chance. It would've been the compe ive series that I been waiting on for 3 years.

    Spurs still have the best regular season record against the Dubs in the entire NBA since 2014/15 season

    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.
    I don't know why people still make a big deal of being up 20 in the first half. Against OKC we were up 20 in the second half, and lost, and everybody was healthy ("great" Pop performance that time, BTW). Anyway we won les when Bowen was playing dirty on every shot, what Zaza did to nephew was nothing, not even close. Leonard was already injured, it was just a matter of how long before re-injuring.

    Talking out of your ass again. They've lost a series only 5 times after winning game one since '97.

    31 wins.

    86% - right at history average.
