Roland17 is right. Spurs played better offensively and defensively. They controlled every aspect of our game.
see that score was close considering how the two best weapon in GSW Arsenal barely fired.
I agree curry was harassed and his rhythm was messed with but what about Klay ?nobody blitzed him.
am looking forward to the next game.

Most times our offense flows around Curry and Green. If both of them are tied down for most of the time, then we begin to choke offensively. We played quite good defense hence the tight scoreline but from beginning when the Spurs dictated the pace especially with slowing the tempo and feeding the post we had too much issues to handle.

the cavs did this in the final dictating the pace and all
my point is the game between this two teams won't be defined by the 30points blowout in the first game or what we saw on Saturday.
it something between and if I am too gamble GSW in 7 but won't be to comfortable.

Its hard to rule out fatigue and GSW's poor record as a factor.
However credit must be given to Pop and the Spurs for putting on a defensive clinic on how to stop Golden State

I have noticed Steph tends to get shook when his shots don't start falling early. Playing suffocating D on him sometimes throws him off balance and he starts missing shots he usually makes. Happened last year's finals, vs Lakers when Kobe decided to guard him and on Saturday night

The problem is can you keep this up in 7 games over 14 days or less? With Parker guarding Curry or Kawhi guarding but needing to score on the other end? What happens when you play excellent defense and these guys just start making their shots.

We would get a clearer picture after the two games left between these guys. One more thing Pop showed is that using the small ball can work provided you have the personnel

I am not even bothered that spurs won. But the way they won is what coach pop should be bothered about. That type of hard defense has a disadvantage, and that is fatigue. You tend to wear out rapidly. Every time the clock was stopped, you could see spurs players hold their knees. They were gassed. For eg Dellovadova on curry last finals grin. Come on they started defending from the full court. I don't think it's possible to keep that up in a 7 game series. I love Golden state Warriors because the team is built upon playing smart basketball to playing hard basketball.

2013. Used to root for the Clippers cos they were impressive and Blake Griffin was like always making the top 10 plays. He was just nuts then. Then I found out Festus Ezeli (Nigerian) and Andre Iguodala (though claims American) both played for GSW after Curry made top 10 plays. Since then it was GSW for their unselfish basketball and Clippers who later became so good at screwing up things and hyping the crowd.

They won by just 8 with Curry 1-12 from the 3. Pertinent to note
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:21pm On Mar 21, 2016
No warriors fan here apart from mizzbee... You just have to give credit where credit is due. I love the way those boys play, and i wish my team could play like them.

I have been a Dallas fan since i could remember. Although the first Basketball game i watched was the boston, i fancied them cause they wore green and it was ray allen killing the show with the three, basically the small guys were kinda like the star, while the tall ones grabbed the rebound or did the dirty work, i was confused why that was. But immediately i watched dirk played, the way the man played was different. Those moves and all, i was like from a tall guy shocked. I became a dallas fan since then, i will be sad the day he retires, but for now, my man just scored 40. cool cool

It is not about if the spurs can play like that for seven games, it is about how many games they would play before they get to the conference finals, and how many games the warriors plays.
If any team succeeds to push the spurs to seven games, there might be a problem, and i am afraid some team might. If dallas meets with spurs, i would not expect an easy win over dallas, although they will win. Carlise always seems to know how to play the spurs.

I think the reason why dellavadova got tired early was because he was the only one that could stay on curry. If you watch the spurs game, for the few seconds i did. It was a lot of switching between green, Parker, and kawhi, although parker did most of the job. When we look at the spurs, all their guards can stay on curry. All of them.

We all know if you disrupt curry's flow early on in the fourth quarter, the team struggles. It has always happened.

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:06pm On Mar 22, 2016
Teams that beat the warriors are now 2-5 in the next game afterwards. Which means they expend all their energies to beat the Warriors and then pay for it the following game. The Spurs are included in this since they squandered a 30-7 first quarter blow out against the Hornets to lose.

Curry struggles again from the 3pt line but Draymond steps up for the team to edge the Wolves 109-105 in a game where the Wolves replicated the Spurs defence on Curry.

Personally, I think Pop showed his hands too early. Kerr would be devising a plan to forestall the switches on the screen and help Curry rediscover his shooting rythm.

exactly what I said they played defense as if it was the game winning match of a seven game series.... Now losing to hornets in the following game says alot. I repeat they can't keep that up in a 4game series sef talkless of 7 grin.... Spurs are known to play smart with stellar defense... What we witnessed on Saturday was hard knocks defense without smart play...

The warriors almost lost that game too. I do not think pop cares much, the game he cares about is the warriors game, i think a lot of team will start defending the warriors the way pop and the lakers did. Warriors might win it this year, but not the next. Teams are already finding out how to play them.
