    Spurs were validated. Everyone, mostly due to how great this Warriors team is, dismissed SA as a legit team and threat to GS.

    Even when in the regular season, SA showed they had more success vs GS than any other team and were built to exploit GS only weaknesses people dismissed them. I get why as well since GS is amazing.

    However, this game, despite the heartbreaking turn of events, turned most everyone's heads I believe. It validated SA's greatness and how they are a LEGIT threat to GS and near that level of a team.

    SA was punking GS on their home floor, like they had before, and it was not some meaningless regular season game you could just dismiss. GS was fully healthy. Fully rested and had ample time to gameplan for SA as well.

    Ultimately, history doesn't remember asterisks and if/when SA loses it wont matter since this is a results league.

    SA is just a damn good team and this proved it.

    It also showed that the Dubs are not the invincible juggernaut we thought they were.

    All depends on kawhis ankle. Absolutely ed by the refs and we were still up 23. And we still have it away even without him. How the we got outrebounded is ridiculous cause if we don't we win even without Leonard.

    So ing what? We lose our best player, the game and in 2 months nobody will remember this.

    Does anyone think of the Suns as moral champions because of how we ed them?

    Besides, now they are gonna come out with more fire because of the backlash they'll get. They will do the "everybody hating on us" discourse

    That already had respect. What they don't have now is a healthy Kawhi Leonard.

    Asterisks do fade; but not as fast in the enhanced social media era. Pachulia's dirty play will be remembered across the NBA fan base for a long time.

    Did you read what I posted? Everyone knows SA lost. But everyone knows WHY as well. They saw what SA did to GS with everyone watching before Zaza's dirty cheap play. It changed people's minds IMO about the level of team SA is.

    I'd gladly trade that respect for a fully healthy Kawhi. This doesn't sound good

    Don't know why you're talking TBH. You said SA would get blown out every game. Not only did that not happen, SA completely punked GS on their home floor until Zaza happened. Even then, they didn't lose by double digits either tbh..

    They didn't have respect; at least not in the context of people truly discussing SA as the same caliber of team as GS. Everyone "respects" the Spurs but even Spurs fans dismiss the quality of this team.

    Until KL went down the Spurs were up in rebounds by close to double the number, it all went down very fast after KL left

    Who cares? It's going to be a sweep or a 5-game series, as most predicted..

    What does respect get you? Who the remembers how well a team played when they lost? Name me the last time a team was celebrated for losing..

    But i'm very proud of the heart showed against adversity, specially Manu with 50 years. Hope KL get well soon.
