I don't think the Spurs can beat the Warriors brehs

[Collateral]

they key is they have to win one in oracle which won't happen

It's possible, the Warriors did lose 2 home games last year in the playoffs. That home/away shyt is all mental

 

[street heat]

youre not going to slow down the warriors for 4 games, and get 4 wins, especially when theyre at home. even in a slow paced game the warriors can win because they are great in the clutch.

if they want to beat them, they will probably need 2 wins scoring 102+ ppg. so tony parker has to be a factor. he needs to get into the lane and make the defense collapse to help danny green. if this cant happen i wouldnt be surprised to see them lose in 5.

Honestly, Im disappointed in you. Not saying its guaranteed, but I like the Burrs chances to be the Dubs in a 7 game series. There are offensive and defensive sets/schemes that work well against the Dubs that the Burrs can and at times have exploited. Its actually ridiculous how the Burrs have success against this squad by playing aggressive/trapping defense mixed with switching/zone principles, and yet Pop will not use these tools to their fullest extent.

Just a lack of attention to detail for a full 48 minutes. Lost the last game at the beginning of the fourth quarter after playing solid for the entire game before that. Either way,
still got the Burrs winning in 6.

If Parker and Green don't get their shyt together, we'll lose. How they played yesterday so fukking shameful. Also, GS can't stop LMA/Boris that well, which is another key to win.

All I know is Spurs wasn't moving the ball enough. Once in a while you'd see them swing it, but there was a LOT of holding the ball yesterday. At least more than were accustomed to seeing.

Spurs can't win if TP, Danny, Patty and West give you nothing tho.

Damn, I never thought about Kerr letting Aldridge purposely eat... That would actually make a lot of sense. But then again, I just watched LMA's highlights again and Festus, Bogut, and Green were defending him well but he still managed to get his shot off, so I don't know if that's true. Another thing with Parker is that he still thinks he can play like how he used too... I saw at least 2 times where he could've passed to Kawhi or LMA but instead tried to take the shot. Manu and Tim let go of the reins, but he still thinks he's running the team. Mills doesn't help either with all that chucking he did yesterday. I say Anderson should be the starting PG. As for Kawhi, he had a really bad night. 7-22 and nothing he was doing was working, so hopefully that won't happen in the playoffs.

Only way the spurs can beat golden state is for kawhi and LaMarcus to both available 20+ppg, Danny green to turn into his 2014 playoff self and for the bench to step the fukk up. I'm a die hard spurs fan but I'm not confident we can get all of that to happen against golden state.

I really think Manu is gonna be a part of your best lineup. Idk if he can handle big minutes anymore but he's one of the few ppl in your backcourt that can actually shoot and his court vision is as sharp as ever

I'd go Manu-Green-Kawhi-LMA-Diaw

The key for the Spurs is LaMarcus Aldridge. He has to the the same guy that he was in Portland. Problem is, that's not possible in the Spurs' system. Draymond Green struggles to guard his turn around fadeaways in the post because dude has a good 3-4 inches on him. With LA doing what he does, and Kawii being a leader and leading them, I don't see why they can't beat the Warriors

It's not defense that the spurs struggle with. It's offense. They can't keep up offensively. Other than the sloppy first time they played them it's always been low scoring and low paced games. Remember when the cavs lost the first time and everyone said they "figured it out" because. Well they sorta did. OKC tried to best them offensively but didn't have enough offense and couldn't make up for it defensively. The Raptors and Celtics have given them most trouble and they are good offensive and defensive teams. The spurs offense is rated well but it's more of their style because individually they don't have players that can really create for themselves AND score a lot with consistency anymore.

shyt is not that complicated we have the defense part down pretty well granted we do have lapse where we make stupid ass mistakes that can be very costly otherwise we do very well against them as long as we stick to the scheme and gameplan on defense

fukking offense is the damn problem point blank and simple
Lma and kawhi can't be trading games where one is have a good game and the other isn't doesn't even out its happen all season against them
Lma had 2 good ones and 2 bad ones and same as kawhi

We need others to step up point blank and simple and it hasn't happened and for the love of god wtf happened to our bench it shyts the bed against them
I credit warriors defense but at same time we can't buy a bucket for nothing
Our backcourt is down right bad Parker playing stupid as shyt he ain't the leader and I hate that he takes charge and kills the offense with his stupid dribble dribble dribble then shoot a bad shot
I want Parker to attack basket and he doesn't even have to score he could either try to or pass for assist to bring in the warriors defense
We need a Parker of 10 pts 10 assist that's it

Green is just fukking trash on offense wouldn't even rely on him sure pass him the ball for the open 3 and that's it his defense is all were gonna get and he better take it up a notch

Mills can replace greens offense when stops shooting cold

Diaw not worried he knows what to do

On the kawhi thing is he is not gonna always be efficient with the defense he plays as the best defensive player and guarding multiple players he needs to cancel that out with his defense staying elite and rebounding and assisting to offset that at least

We can beat them but the problem is others helping out on offense

 

[twan83]

Double

 

[Illuminatos]

If Spurs can snag a win in Oakland they can win it all

They're going to need to take 2 in Oakland because the Warriors will most likely win one in San Antonio.

Son the Spurs are just nikkas been saying this since like 2010 but I think this is the beginning of the end for them. Tony Parker simply CANNOT keep with these new aged PG's. Danny Green has had an off year in general. Dude is not the same dude that lit the Heat up in the Finals from 3.
Spurs are just too old and athletic man. Their defense and ball movement are literally their only virtues. I hope they make me eat my words in June, but its not looking good for them if they have more games like they did against the Warriors the other night

 

[seemorecizzy]

Cavs have a better chance of beating the Warriors then the Spurs do. Jokes aside, they match up very well with them. And if lebron plays like he did last year it could be a problem

But nah, spurs ain't beating em 4 times

 

[TrebleMan]

They're going to need to take 2 in Oakland because the Warriors will most likely win one in San Antonio.

Pretty much and that applies to everyone.

Any team will likely have to beat them twice at home if they want to win. You're not going to be able to beat these guys winning one game in their arena because they'll most likely beat you at least once on the road.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Dog The Warriors are the equivalent of Perfect Cell right now.

You have to play flawless defense and be able to put a lot of fukking points on the scoreboard to win. Who is doing that for 4 games?

Spurs sometimes show the ability to lock down the Warriors for spurts but then their guard play is downright atrocious and they can't put up points.

All the Warriors need is 3 minutes of room offensively to put your ass down for good like

 

[UserNameless]

Just not happening. Crown them hoes again already...

 

[Liquid]

I have a feeling LeBron is going to go OFF in the playoffs, but it's likely not enough to beat the warriors. They need another early 2-1 advantage to even have a chance.

 

[Biscayne]

They're 72-9 for a reason. I haven't seen anything from this year to suggest that anyone can beat this team in a 7-game series. I'm not saying we can't have these fun arguments on HOW to play the Warriors. We all know that there's a blueprint on how to keep up with Golden State and how to beat them. We've seen The Celtics, Lakers, Minnesotta, and others execute this gameplan flawlessly. But the truly great teams are self-aware of their weaknesses, and know how to counter those weaknesses and flaws IN-GAME. That's what the Warriors did. When SA locked them up in the 1st half, Golden State went into that super quick offense in the 2nd half, and didn't give SA time to set up their halfcourt D. When you have 2 ELITE all-time great 3-point shooters flying all-around the court, and playing off the ball, and sprinting to the 3-point line, and not settling, it wears out the other teams defense. It's like having 2 Ray Allen's out there. Ray was the master of sprinting away from his man to the 3-point line.

And then on top of all that, the Warriors have multiple elite on-ball defenders. The Warriors can play and WIN a slow grind it out game, because they have players who can wear-out your teams best Wings on the defensive side of the ball.

Just between Iggy and Draymond, that's a bruising defensive duo.

Then Klay's an above average defender.

Harrison Barnes is an above average defender.

Livingston is lanky and can bother opposing guards.

Bogut is one of best defensive Bigs in the league.

And although Steph's not a great defender, he's a solid defender and can stay in front of his man, and is a very good thief. Every warrior can pass, defend, and shoot. No real weak-spots on this team. Again, they'e 72-9 for a reason.

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

nikkas waving the white flag already

 

[DIMES]

Blake is going to have to GOAT for them to win THE BIG ONE. To me, he just doesn't have THAT kind of impact

22 and 12?

Klay Thompson is not really a problem


Dude just disappears usually every time they play a close game
