NBA games on a Saturday is still weird to me, but I am watching GS vs Memphis. Grizzlies up 9 with 10:35 to go.
2 more games, I hope GS does it. They don't look the same lately though. I don't know if its fatigue or some thing else, but they are barely getting by.
Big game today! Wow. This is pretty much it. Huge hill for GS to climb, beating the Spurs (playing everyone) in their house. Not looking good for them. I think Spurs kill the dream for 73 this afternoon. We'll see what GS has left in the tank.
This will practically be the NBA finals. Whoever comes out of the east will just be an anti-climatic finish to the playoffs. I'd wish we go to a top 16 format.
Kobe's last game >>>>> Warriors chance to beat 72-10. Still hope they get the record. They deserve it.
Sasha = rejuvenated of late. Last four games: 30.5 MPG 16.5 PPG 2.5 APG 5.0 RPG 1.0 SPG 23-42 FGs 14-25 3PT 6-6 FT
Spurs can't score against the Dubs ... Warriors in 5 . I still think OKC would have a "better" chance , still would lose in 5 though
Nah Lakers - Queens was a "much more" competitive series than Dubs-Spurs would be . Queens were the better team btw , they just choked in many occasions ( G4 and G7)
I completely disagree. Diaw being out was really big for the Spurs. His play making, the fact that he's much mobile than Duncan or West, and he can also take advantage downlow. Sacramento wasn't a better team. I don't believe in this another team chokes, but the other team doesn't take it. That 2002 team TOOK it from the Kings. We had championship type defense that got us back in Game 4. With some monstrous clutch shots by Horry, Kobe of course, and Shaq was his usual dominant self. I can't see a team as great S San Antonio losing in 5. Even to an all time great team. Pop is too good. He's gonna come up with a great game plan. Leonard will play better and like the superstar he is. Diaw will have an impact as well. It will go 7.
Diaw is actually more important than Duncan would be in a GS series....he can punish the Warriors for putting iggy, barnes or klay thompson on him in the post, and yet defensively, the Spurs won't be at a severe disadvantage with him out there. I still think Warriors win that series in 7...and winning IN san antonio was a HUGE mental roadblock that they needed to get past before the playoffs.
