The Way New Orleans was playing, They are no Joke. GS better play better than this against NO.

They're gonna need a mostly healthy Curry. And it still will be a 6 gamer probably.

Gotta root for the Pelicans, as a Kentucky fan. Since, you know, that's Kentucky-lite. AD, Rondo, Boogie even though he's out, and others.

Look at Montalban all mad the Ws won, throwing rainbows around.

GS was the only team who had a player that SA just could not match up with in Durant (Kawhi)

It sucks that we only got 3 quarters of it in the last two playoff series.....Kawhi was dominating Durant badly, but it probably would have went back and forth

Without Kawhi, it needed 100% Popovich to design a patchwork defense and not Pop distracted by his wife dying away

I kind of feel guilty that I gave Pop some grief for seemingly not being 100% focused in the 2nd half

LaMarcus had 5 at the half and ended with 30. Summarizes the season. Guy put the Spurs on his back the entire year and went out fighting. I didn't want him back after last year, so props to him for making me eat crow.

Spurs +11 and the under 204.5.

2-0

For the first time in 3 years I believe Golden State is a soft team that looks disinterested.

I think they are going to lose the next round unless they stop clowning around

San Antonio outhustled and outheart them most of the series,

but the Spurs dont have any players who can score or even a healthy coach for that matter

this Warriors team will lose to any team that hustles and can score.

I didn't watch the whole game. The Dubs could be disinterested, not going to debate that. Part of what made them who they are is currently sitting on the bench recovering from a sprained MCL.

But, the Warriors were playing a Spurs team, for as gritty and well-coached as they are weren't going to win this series.

Golden State knows they're going to have to take it to the next level. The thing that's good for them is there are 4 players next series to worry about and that's it - Davis, Holliday, Rondo and Mirotic.

If they can effectively guard Davis without him going insane, then they should be fine. But it's a series I see going 6.
