ing THIS.
I feel the same way, my thought is every young team wants to beat the Spurs because they are 1 of the best team for so long, so they mentally believe Spurs is the team to beat.

Yes, Pop outcoached by a noob coach again
Timmys pick and roll D
...Timmys pick and roll D
oh cmon. you were giving me SO much crap for that back then, and now you're all silent about it?
1-Never said Timmy PnR was good
2- Still don't change the fact that Gasol isn't good enough to win the DPOY, he is just average at nearly anything.
i know. i even said back then i was playing devil's advocate and was just trying to make a case, but you scoffed at the notion that marc's pick and roll D was better than Tim's
No, I have the feeling of the 10 Suns after we beat our bitter Rival in the Mavs, this year we beat the Lakers and we meet a team getting all the loose balls and it seems all their shots are falling (Dragic and now Thompson). This feels eerily similar to me.
I don't think just PnR D is good enough to win the DPOY, and if is, Noah/Sanders are much better than Gasol in PnR D and everything else.
This feels like 08 Spurs vs Hornets series.
Spurs got blown out of the water the first two games before figuring things out.
Totally.
The Spurs are healthier than in 2011, and they've got Kawhi instead of dead weight in RJ. Memphis posed a size problem that they couldn't overcome. GS's main threat is they've got two shooters who haven't been stopped yet. That's literally it. The rest of the problems are just the Spurs not playing their game. Memphis was a matchup nightmare for a weakened team. GS is not.
1-1 is nothing. Go to Oracle and play focused. Take at least 1 of 2 and you've got a best of 3 with 2 games on your home floor.
No.
this makes no sense. in 07 the nugs had 1 monster game, game 1. then it was a spurs backdoor sweep
and in 05, the sonics lost game 1 and 2 handily
this series is very much like grizz series. Grizz had chance to win both game 1 and 2. we got lucky and went on the road 1-1
only light at the end of the tunnel I see is Warriors are more prone than Grizz to squander a lead and a game, or choke. And we don't have Jefferson, they do.

This feels like '06 vs the Mavs. The Spurs could never matchup on defense and they're only hope was trying to score enough points to keep up. I think the only way the Spurs get through this series is by playing their best defense. I don't think they can try to score with Golden State. This series could also end up having an '05 vs the Suns feel if Pop makes the right moves. The Spurs need to stop helping so much and stay on their man. Let Curry get 40 like Stoudemire averaged 37 against us and lock down everyone else. It's just not worth it to put so much effort in stopping Curry and letting everyone else beat us.
Of course people have their own opinions. I can say the same to you, that makes no sense because the Grizz doesn't even have half of the offensive firepower that Golden State has now.
On the road, we won the next two at home, BIGTIME in game 4. We start out this one at home, we never lost a game at home that series. I agree though after two games in that series it looked OVER! Hornets whipped our ass. Tim and them alot younger then though, they had BOWEN as well.
I don't know why people look to the past series all the time for the future games.
was thinking this all day today. it's the best comparison, duncan even was sick in both series. spurs in 7 then?
Spurs were on that road in that game 7! They were there and won it! This is completely different! They had the first two at home! Tim was sick! I agree he was sick then! That part rings true. Other than that we were down 0-2 coming home! I just don't see it as the same, most were in their prime then as well!
I don't know why people look to the past series all the time for the future games.
History often repeats itself.
I agree with the comparison to the 2006 Mavericks' series. A close home win followed by a Game 2 that was never really that close against a team with several very potent offensive players who figures out at the right time how to defend and, more importantly, is very aggressive on the boards to end Spurs' possessions and to keep alive its own possessions.
It's not similar as MEM was pounding us inside. The warriors feel SO much faster and we're getting killed by their backcourt...
