Didnt read the warriors fans tbh
Some horrible takes... Curry is the next Jordan... Draymond shuts lma Down... Spurs can't keep up with the wings. .. their bench is better than spurs.
One guy pointed out spurs are best in the league at taking away the three, which is what they do best. Good take.
The best take was one guy mentioning they have to prepare for the spurs secret weapon, boban.
They are actually discussing basketball, which is a nice chance of pace compared to the short bus.
Lots of interesting takes, lots of delusion too, but what I found particularly telling was this:
Duncan and Larieux proposed not throwing all the tricks at the Spurs when we play them, like the hard double of Kawhi on the catch.
Play is straight up with our standard lineup. No need to give them an early look at what we'd use in the playoffs .
I know (or at least I've always had the feeling) that Pop was being careful, when playing against likely playoffs opponents, not to show too much of his hand. There's a huge difference between having 2 days or 4 months to adapt... So I'm not sure the Spurs are going to be giving their best effort, not in terms of players' energy but in terms of coaching. Maybe a few tricks by Pop here and there to test the waters. But I'm also expecting to see a lot of weird line-ups out there, and the Spurs (and probably Warriors as well) using their regular, well-do ented plays.
Good forum with classy takes. They CLEARLY respect the Spurs. Some high standard avatars too.
Low IQ posters. I probably read 1 good take.
Some of them might be shocked when they find out Tim or LMA aren't going to be guarding Curry.....
Tim was getting benched in the 2013 series when the Warriors tried to exploit it.
The funniest one was we can't exploit their size. Where was that LMA video of him torching the dubs. Besides if they try to match size they are no longer small no longer special.
A hard double on Kawhi on the catch? That's a terrible defense. He's MUCH more likely to find the open man with his head up and his dribble intact. You double Kawhi when he puts the ball down.
Read some takes, some are good but most of them are "delusionaly" bad, as if Spurs' coaching staff didn't have a strategy on their own.
Lebron said the hardest thing about the Spurs is that all five guys on the court are "live". So the idea of consistently leaving someone open is foolish. They're going to have a hard enough time guarding LMA and Duncan down low anyway, so they're not going to double off those two. Ditto for Parker. So they're doing to have to try to gamble on leaving Green open from three consistently. The Heat can tell them how that works out.
"We match up just fine against the Spurs."
Do these clowns know The Spurs are something like 12 and 2 against the Curry led team? That's not doing fine.
Of course you people think their takes are horrible. Your definiton of a good take is if they think the Spurs will beat them, which of course you will never find in a Dubs forum.
RealGM thread summary:
I suspect their takes aren't much different from ones on this forum.
Real GM, too. ing troll mods.
First couple pages:
We match up just fine with the Spurs.
They're a great team, we're a better team. Let them worry about matching up.If you put Kawhi on Curry, that leaves Danny Green guarding Harrison Barnes. etc, etcWatching their game against LAC right now, Duncan and LMA look like a couple of sloths out there.But coming into today's games, the Spurs have played an easier schedule than the Warriors.Our counter is Draymond who has become a better play maker. He is passing the ball better and taking it to the hole with consistency.Bogut and Ezelli will also get minutes against Duncan Aldridge.
Warriors need to get a wing for Jason Thompson and or Speights.I can see Green starting out on Aldridge (he'll give him fits)Their bench frontcourt is Diaw and West. If we get Barnes back and use him at the 4, he will have a matchup advantage against either of them.I think the Spurs are the best chance to beat the Warriors legitimately but I'm not concerned about the matchup, I think the Warriors are as great as advertised.
Most the takes are sensible enough, tbh. I just like laughing at the player fans.Some horrible takes... Curry is the next Jordan... Draymond shuts lma Down... Spurs can't keep up with the wings. .. their bench is better than spurs.
One guy pointed out spurs are best in the league at taking away the three, which is what they do best. Good take.
The best take was one guy mentioning they have to prepare for the spurs secret weapon, boban.
From Page 3:
It looks like the Spurs bench may actually be a little deeper than ours, but our bench might be a bit better than theirs.
This X10000!!! If someone isn't sucking off the Spurs then it's a horrible take. So stupid.Of course you people think their takes are horrible. Your definiton of a good take is if they think the Spurs will beat them, which of course you will never find in a Dubs forum.
I'm not sure where this stuff about benches being at same level come from tbh...
a fan who did not pay attention: "I think comparatively the talent level on the bench is pretty even"
No, because most of us agree OKC would beat us if they had HC advantage against the Spurs. We acknowledge that. And even with HC, OKC could possibly beat the Spurs. Most fans here don't live in the denial. We know which teams are capable of beating the Spurs.
Spurs have owned the Warriors. The Spurs match up perfectly with the Warriors. The Spurs have the wing stoppers to shutdown the Warriors. The Spurs have the inside game to expose the Warriors. The Spurs have the best bench in the league that would totally school the Warriors bench.
If I were a GSW fan, the only team I would be scared of is the Spurs b/c of how they match up against them. You can say its subjective, but there are objective facts proving the Spurs owning the Warriors over the past 2 years. Will see on Monday how much of the gap they have closed.
Draymond Green. That overrated dude about to be exposed...
Here are the cliffnotes: Let's hope the Spurs' old guys get hurt if we have to face them in a series.
