The obvious weakness of the Warriors was exposed by DeMarcus Cousins... More at the link below

OP is a re like usual but anyways I got no nightmares of the Warriors. The '01 sweep by the Lakers was the worst demolishing of the spurs I have ever witnessed. It was also very demoralizing for a few reasons. The first reason was because the spurs had the best record and were the favorites to win it all heading into the playoffs. The second reason the Lakers had talked a lot of about the '99 championship being an asterisk and now had justification for saying it. Thirdly it was a wasted year for Duncan who I felt back then was a once in generation player which meant every year the spurs didn't win a championship was a wasted year.

Warriors vs Spurs can never get to the '01 level of demoralization for me since they won't have any of the reasons I have listed above to feel demoralized. Don't get me wrong the Warriors are a bunch of bags and would be great to see the Spurs end their season but it's not the end of the world if the spurs can't do it. I feel since Duncan has retired the spurs winning or losing is now house money for me. I will just enjoy this season being more relaxed than I have been in over 20 years knowing there is no pressure to win a championship.

Pretty much everything you said i completely agree with. Especially the bolded. I haven't felt this way about the Spurs since before Duncan, the feeling of "we'll see how the season goes, hopefully they compete hard and give themselves a chance to at least go far in the playoffs"
With Duncan it was Championship or bust. No championship = wasted year. But the pressure is off now and even if GS does beat us, it was expected.

But oh man if we bet them, ooo man it would be so amazing seeing Kawhi lead this team. We'll just have to wait and see what happens this year.

Point guard led teams don't win championships and Kevin Durant is the Peyton Manning of the NBA and chokes in the playoffs. I can't figure out why people think the Warriors will ring with either one of these gots as the alpha. That's like a jacked up offense/meh D in the NFL led by Peyton Manning and a prime Calvin Johnson (superstar wr's don't ring either).

We would've had a chance but Manu cost us Boban

i agree, but wait until Parker's last year comes up and he wants that Kobe severance package. What is that going to cost us? Getting rid of Baban was one of the dumbest moves we have made in years
