Half Full
-With Game 3 starting at 9:50 PM on Friday and Game 4 starting at 2:30 PM on Sunday, this was about as close to a back-to-back that we'll see in the playoffs. Thus, the Spurs running out of gas isn't surprising.
-If the Spurs shoot free throw at their normal percentage, they easily win the game.
-The Spurs were 2-for-17 on three-pointers outside of Ginobili. That shouldn't happen again.
-TD and TP were 13-for-39 and the Spurs could (should?) have won.
-The Spurs may have figured out how to slow Curry and Thompson.
-The defense was great outside of rebounding -- which is correctable.
-The offense should improve playing at home in Game 5.
-Facing adversity early in the playoffs will help mentally as the postseason unfolds.
Half Empty
-Curry and Thompson struggled and the Spurs still lost.
-Parker is hurting again and the Spurs don't have enough creators to score consistently if he's not 100%.
-If the Spurs are struggling to score this much against Golden State, will they even crack 70 against the Grizzlies?
-The Warriors have actually played better on the road. They could steal Game 5, especially with the Spurs feeling all the pressure.
-Bogut, like always, is keeping Duncan out of the paint -- and that's making him less consistent on offense.
-The Spurs wasted the one hot shooting night Ginobili will have this series.
-Leonard, Green and Splitter look shaky on the offensive end ... and that's difficult to deal with when they should be the main supporting players.
-In the big picture, the Spurs needed a five game series to stay fresh enough to have a realistic shot of doing anything in future rounds. A series win in six or seven games will be too taxing even if the Spurs are able to advance.
-If not for a miracle, the Spurs would be down 3-1 right now. If not for Parker's amazing first half in Game 3, it could have been a sweep.
How do you see it? I'm leaning toward Hall Full but I see some merit in the dark side . . . .
Half empty, because they play again in 2 days and the Spurs were horribly tired in the 4th quarter today. Spur will have no legs in the 4th quarter on Tuesday. Pop screwed up with the lineups way too much, and because the stars are tired that means even more Neal and Bonner. This was a huge game for the Spurs. I think Warriors take the series now.
Spurs in 6. I'm all in.
Half full. Mark Jackson is in love with Barnes/Jack isos.
Draw Bogut away from the rim, defeat the Warriors.
The loss is full empty IMO
half full, yes the warriors stars didnt play well but its not like we did either. best of 3 with 2 of them at home.
Half full, just for the fact that the defense is better overall after game 1.
Spurs will win game 5. They're the better team.
Half full. We're not going to miss al those FT and 3s again. Plus I think our guys will be more pissed than sad right now, they let this one away and I think will come out swinging on tuesday.
We just need to play more PnR, punish them inside and make our ing open shots and freebies.
But I don't get how every time we play against Jarret Jack, we make him look like Jordan. I hate that guy.
TBH, i see the glass well up in Spurs a*s. I lost all my confidence in our possibiliy to overcame.
I'll look at it half full to keep my composure.
It's all on Pop, if he plays the rotation that won us 58 games we win.
Spurs may end up winning this series, but this boneheaded choker will haunt the Spurs as its another game of wear and tear. I think the series is a coin flip. Disgusting loss today.
Spurs will win this in 6. GS got lucky today with the way the Spurs crumbled in OT.
I'm of the Half Full variety, though the 40+ minutes for Duncan and the 37 for Manu will hurt on Tuesday.
All Spurs fans should root for OKC on Monday. That series, no matter who wins, needs to be extended like ours. I don't want a rested Memphis or Thunder...
We still have home court advantage, and in both games in Oakland we looked much better than the first two games. I'd give us the edge in the series, but it won't be easy.
i have no faith in Popovich
his well chronicled love affairs become magnified in the playoffs and he fails to attack matchups and instead rolls with his pre-determined rotations
hes killed any confidence Splitter and Leonard is shook offensively
itll be tough for the Spurs to beat GS and Popovich
The biggest criticism of Pop throughout his career is that he panics too much and tries too hard with bad rotations.
Don't see how you can see it is anything other than half empty. This is probably the worst the Warriors could have played and yet the Spurs could not find a way to get it done. It is not a given that the Spurs will win both home games and it will be very tough to win another game in Golden State.
the great jarret ing jack
We have the best coach in the league, period.
Half full
Half full, best of 3 with homecourt..
It'll be interesting to see if refs continue to call Golden State, particularly Bogut, for moving screens and ..the Warriors offense is limited when they aren't given a pass to cheat, tbh..
Half empty because of Pops decisions. Golden State outplayed us at small ball for two whole games. We go big and dominate Game 3 and Pop goes small again to throw this game away.
Just not sure I trust Pop after letting Neal get torched in the 4th. We'll see.
I still think the Spurs win in 6.
