the difference between Spurs and Warriors is execution down the stretch..

Don't get me wrong ... I am happy how things have went so far. I just brought my two cents into this discussion because some here say Spurs will beat the Warriors in the playoffs and the Warriors record is the result of an easy schedule. Again, the Spurs schedule was just as easy and the Warriors are still the Champs ... so coming in here and stating we will have their number in the playoffs is just stupid. The Spurs fared well last regular season against the Dubs, but now they are a team with championship experience and a guy playing out of his mind. I do not say we cannot beat them, I just think everybody saying "we surely will" lives in a world of illusions ...

Oh, I get you. I definitely am not saying they're better than the Warriors or that we "have their number". It's 50/50 at best and anyone saying otherwise is delusional. All I'm saying is that it is actually about 50/50. The Spurs and Warriors are comparatively excellent this year. We shouldn't be "scared we'll lose" nor "confident we'll win". But you should be confident the Warriors aren't a notch or two above the Spurs. We're right up there imo.

Yeah schedule's been not so hard, but neither has their been. Obviously they're not finishing the season 77-5 (their current pace). Even we're on pace for nearly 70 atm (68-14 pace)

SoS is not as important a stat as margin of victory. SoS ignores injuries, bad refs, rivalries and match ups.

SoS can be combined with other stats to help sway a point but the way some people swing it around here like its a sledgehammer is ridiculous, get over it.
