This sucks fellas
You slobbering the Warriors is what I'm calling you out on.![]()
Everyone is heated, its all good...
Spurs showed they can compete and had their dirty player knock out Kawhi tbh...
I was at a food truck even in SF watching this game and almost got into fight with somone...I am proud of this team tbh
How am I slobbering over the Warriors? I was literally the first person on this forum to make a thread calling them out for their antics, years ago
And that's irrelevant in this thread, anyways..it's about respect that the Spurs supposedly gained..if you watch the post-game press conference, the Warriors aren't showing the Spurs any respect and they're downplaying Kawhi's absence![]()
Even if that's true, it still didn't stop the Cavs from cucking the Dubs last year, and that Dubs team was better than this year's Dubs team.
Kawhi with class not taking the media bait and calling out Zaza.
The reality is everyone is scared of GSW because of the names on the back of the jersey. A bunch of 3 years or less players coupled with a 39 year old hung with them until the end. Granted the Spurs had a huge lead whittled away, but when the game got close, they competed.
If that's true, then why post anything at all? You posted your take on the game/match up and SA proved you wrong. Sure, a loss is a loss, but you were clearly wrong here.
Two issues with OP's theory:
1) 1st matchup was the first time the restacked Dubs ever played together. Who was #1 option - KD or Curry? What were the rotations gonna be? Etc etc. Spurs? Played together in the same system for years. That blowout loss wasn't surprising. Especially with the best frontline in the game.
Fast forward to today's game...
2) Dubs hadn't played in over a week. They were rusty. Took them a while to get with it.
Curry (40pts) and KD (34pts) brought their A-games (inexplicably, Klay Thompson stunk). Even if Leonard played and Steph/KD goes off like that, who does he stop? That high pick and roll play (between KD & Curryat the end of the game) that culminated in a Curry layup was a play I hadn't seen before. It was lethal.
Regardless, the Spurs blew a golden opportunity today. They were up 25 and rolling. When Leonard went down, it's the life of the Spurs died. They better regroup quickly. Game 2 is 48 hours away.
Series is over without KL. Book it.
You are being a troll. You can disagree with what I said and that's fine. But this game was a "shock" to many national media types. That's who I am talking about. Spurs punched GS in the mouth.
I very clearly said the Spurs won't be remembered or celebratedSo I don't get your point there tbh...
I acknowledged that very thing but that was not the point of this thread.
I wasn't wrong about anythingI picked the Warriors in 5 and I said the Spurs would compete..you're allowed to alter your prediction after looking into the numbers, which I did, as you can see if you look up the post in question..
If we're being real, though, this game was about the Warriors being rusty and taking the Spurs for granted IMO
Clearly the warriors are trash and only won because Zaza undercut the best player in the world. That's FACT.
The Spurs proved they were the better team. That goes against everything you have been saying these past 2 years. And now you are slobbering them, seeing how they are probably 100% chance to get through us, probably the only team that could beat them.
That would've been worth it imho
Everybody knows Spurs are losing game 2. Game 1 was the game to steal.
Awe... Thanks for watching the Spurs play today.
People still think it will be a sweep and that the Spurs are still really overmatched after that? Unless Kawhi is out for the series, I wouldn't be all that surprised if the Spurs won both home games to tie it up.
False narrative. Spurs added many new pieces to the team as well. Tim retired (huge change), added Pau (huge change), added many new role players, etc..It was the new look Spurs as well.
Dubs were fully healthy though, so the rust argument doesn't sit with me. Also, that extra rest also meant extra time to gameplan, watch film, practice, etc..Fast forward to today's game...

KD did vast majority of his damage AFTER Kawhi left.Curry (40pts) and KD (34pts) brought their A-games (inexplicably, Klay Thompson stunk). Even if Leonard played and Steph/KD goes off like that, who does he stop? That high pick and roll play that culminated in a Curry layup was a play I hadn't seen before. It was lethal.

Before Kawhi Injury:
After Kawhi Injury:
I'm not saying KD sucks or Curry sucks. They played great and still only won by two. They didn't figure anything out. After half time, SA still had a 20 point lead in the 3rd quarter when Kawhi got hurt.
There's nothing that backs up the Spurs being better than the Warriors the past 2 years, tbh..they lost in the 2nd round, last year![]()
Nah - we both know you thought SA would get their a** whooped. Don't have to lie to kick it my man.
Warriors has only played one healthy Playoff team, and they lost a 3-1 lead.![]()
It could be a match-up thing. For the most part, we've had better seasons than the Clippers yet they own the Spurs and most of us are terrified of facing them. Similarly, the Spurs always seem to hold their own against GS.
If we're being honest, Parker being out has helped the Spurs tremendously, tbh..not sure why people keep bringing up his name as a key loss![]()
