We have to wait till next summer and try to get Westbrook or CP3. Until then we won't matchup.
Gasol signing wouldn't help us beat them now. There would be a huge match up problem.

Do what OKC almost did. They were effective playing 2 bigs
Bull . Going big is exactly what you do. Lamarcus to Gasol would be one of the best high-low games ever.
You can't. Have to hope for chemistry issues.
Maaaan everyone dubbed the Heat unstoppable from jump an they got beat by a bunch of no names on the Mavs...
You cant. They are unbeatable. Even if they lose bigs, that offense can score 150 per game. We had to go all in on Durant. Freaking offer under the table deal, something more we didn't and we lost. It's over.
You hope that Durant or Curry tears an ACL, otherwise good luck to the rest of the league tbh
Spurs probably can't.
This is a better team than that heat. Top many shooters. I acknowledge the heat big 3 were better players individually but gsw just shoots 3. They have no inside game at all (pathetic actually) but those 3's.
You don't. You play for second and be happy with that next season.
Not sure how many of you guys have ever played basketball against someone that's several inches taller and 50 pounds heavier. Now imagine doing it 82 times before the playoffs start. Bogut was a big, mobile body who cleared out a LOT of ing space. The Dubs' offense will be amazing to watch at times, but it's even less built for the playoffs now than it was the last two years.
You crowd the 3 pt. line on D and work the ball inside on offense.
So this is why Pop kept Diaw. The GS death lineup isn't going to be the same with Durant at the four. That offense should be sick, but their D is going to suffer. From Durant's perspective, I sort of like it. He's going what James did but with only half the time. I imagine the deal is a 1-plus-1, which means he's probably going to try to go back to OKC next season. It's -made for sure, but we'll see.
Yeah, especially considering that he was allowed to keep moving on all those screens. If it is Bogut for Durant, they have a MAJOR size disadvantage. OKC knows damned well how exploitable KD at the four is. That's why they've made a concerted effort to get big men.
I have to agree with this. Going big is our only chance, especially if the lose bogut/festus.
We need a thread, bro.
This isn't anything like Miami, this is a much more natural fit..
I want to read Harlem going HAM on that Beta got.
Truths!!!
Wouldn't it be ironic if Westbrook takes Durant and the Dubs out of the playoffs this season? Just saying.
Right now? no one matches up well with he Warriors...
And I think we're going to see a return to bigger basketball as a result. Golden State just cornered the ing market on smallball, so teams would be insane to try to match that style.
Just need Mills/Green to go off from the 3pt line that we know they can.
Diaw needs to reclaim his pre-2016 form.
Leonard and Aldridge need to produce at high all-star levels.
The old 3 just need to be stable and not a net-negative.
And finally need to see improvement in Anderson, Simmons, and Boban.
All (or maybe most) of the above comes to fruition, the Spurs can beat GS in May 2017.
LMA doesn't play in the post and Gasol is going to be nothing more than another ISO player backing down defenders and taking turnaround jumpers in the Spurs system. They have zero creators/penetrators so everyone will just be standing around waiting for their one on one opportunity. It's going to be like the running of the bulls when they play GS. The Spurs would have to scream halfcourt vs the Warriors or they'll get blown off the court. They'd also have to shoot an incredibly high % to offset the Warriors high octane offense because last time I checked, 3-point shots were more productive than two point shots.
Bertans, Anderson, Simmons, Boban, LJC as rotation players? RIP Spurs.
just make more baskets
I don't think this is comparable at all unfortunately.
The shooting here is on a whole other level and will be impossible to guard.
Could a Pau even be on the floor against these guys???
