Don't forget Landry...
You see what teams with shooters and a good post defender can do to Denver, right? GS could easily be up 3-0 (Miller hit a game winner at the buzzer at home for their only win so far).
Spurs have shooters. Spurs have more than one good post defender.
Don't forget Landry...
Fuk bogut, we got Baynes
Nuggets, I think the Spurs need a challenging second round if they're gonna push for WCF/Finals.
We lost to both of these teams and looked fairly bad in doing so.
What I would like to assess is how much good it did to play a High School team first round. Health wise it was great barring Tiago. But...
Is Parker really getting better? considering what he had to play against...
Lol go back and watch the end of the regular season. He is a lot better than where he was. I get your point but he looks day and night compared to how he was looking 2 weeks ago. Another week off is very promising as well.Is Parker really getting better? considering what he had to play against...
My thoughts exactly, mercos.
Golden State for all the reasons Sean stated in Spurs live.
damn with the way the warriors are shooting right now I think id rather them play the nuggs tbh but what ever happens happens, i'm ready...
Warriors for sure with no Lee
Ahh yes its gonna be interesting to see how we do. Our first round series couldn't get any easier. Now every game is gonna actually have playoff intensity.
You might be right. I really don't know who would be a better matchup. I keep going back every day. It's like LAC/MEM. In your opinion who would you prefer out of MEM/LAC. Just wondering if it where to come down to that.
Neither one of these teams are playing anything close to playoff Defense. The potential to steal a game, maybe 2 because of their shooters is there...but thats it.
Memphis for the same reasons as Denver. MEM is a better defensive team, but they lack the scoring punch and the top flight player (CP3, just like Curry). Spurs defend the post well, MEM is a post team.
Looks like its gonna be GS. Denver throwing the ball away and not playing with enough intensity.
I think it's at least going 6. I don't see GS winning in DEN twice.
Spurs, if healthy should beat these teams, but both do have the ability to be tough series (especially compared to round one obviously).
Curry just kills the Spurs though. Denver doesn't have that player that just kills the Spurs. I've made up my mind, would rather have Denver. Let's see what happens in the 2nd half though - Denver needs a win bad here. Tough to beat a team like GS 3 straight because they usually will have at least one scorching hot shooting night.
I don't know man, hopefully you are right. Still have the 2nd half though. But GS almost did win twice there already. They played well in both games and have a ton of confidence (especially if they hold on tonight).
Yep. This, too, pretty much.
Lost both games there.
Warriors for being far less physical. When Bogut is healthy, he is a very defender and shot-blocker. But he still is not physical type. Plus, he is the only one who can defend Tim, while Denver has three. Plus, as well as Curry plays (he is the best player in that series), Wilson Chandler still remains the worst match-up for the Spurs.
Even if Warriors are not an easier out between those two teams, I would still prefer Warriors just for the sake of less wear for Tim and Tony.
You're right. Historically we have still played well there.
dubs no doubt
Curry will get his, but so will Parker. Jarret Jack kills us more than curry, but Ginobili can neutralize Jack's output with his own. Thompson had one good game against us at the end of the season. I'm not gonna take anything out of that half hearted back to back game. Spurs have the favorable front court, just as good shooting, and more experience to take it in this series. Did I mention the Spurs have the best coach in the league?
That's the key for the Spurs. They need to make sure their defense is good enough. It's not enough to hope to outscore these teams on offense.
