I've watched the Spurs all year. My opinion on the Spurs isn't solely based on that game.

I don't believe they'll be able to defend the Warriors as I've said in this post below

I appreciate the analysis and admit the PnR defense is a weakness for soem of the defenders on the squad. But did ou even watch the first game or and of the games the Spurs played against the Dubs last year. We switch everything against the Dubs and knock Stef, Klay and KD off the 3 point line. The Dubs still have not shown that they are able to make teams pay for switching, and I do not see that happening this year.

I watched enough of the Warriors/Spurs games against them last year to know that the Spurs couldn't score consistently against the Warriors Defense.

I agree....The Dubs have struggled with the switching defense. I saw that March 19 game between the Spurs/Warriors as the turning point in the Warriors season. After Pop decided to switch everything so did other teams (Boston, Minnesota) and they struggled down the stretch. They were never really the same after that game.

That said, When it comes to this Warrior team, I just don't see how you're going to stop a team with Curry, Klay, Durant from scoring......I think talent eventually trumps whatever Pop can throw at them.
