Golden State has been a good defensive team for most of the year but NOT great and their high-speed offense is prone to turnovers (especially from No-Look passers R.Green and Curry). They also thrive when they suck opponents in to playing their game of shooting low-percentage 3's at a fast pace. 9/10 times GSW will win that game, especially with two of the best 3 pt shooters in Curry and Thompson.
The Spurs on the other hand, have played consistently great defense - by the numbers. It's their iden y and what they do. Play great defense, win the mid-range and higher percentage shot selection game. They will beat the Warriors in a playoff matchup. The Spurs excel at learning their opponents and making the proper adjustments.
