Game Thread: Golden State @ San Antonio (March 19)

[Hambombs]

Not tonight Warriors.

Warriors offense beat the Spurs defense in California.

Spurs defense beat the Warriors offense in Texas.

Lamarcus Aldridge is the X factor.

If he is engaged, I think that is the one player GS doesn't have a single player who can defend him.

True on X factor. Incorrect on not being able to defend him. Green has always defended him well

Great game. Was really ugly for a while though. Good win by the spurs. Abused us on the boards by 20 too. I liked dubs effort too

Yes, definitely a good game. I can't wait to see the adjustments (if any) and how they respond in the next game-considering they have yet to lose to any same team more than once.

If I'm a spurs fan I'm a little worried.

Bogut and Ezili are definitely factors.

But, I have to disagree on Draymond.
He cannot guard Aldridge very well at all. His body style is all wrong.
There is not much options on GSW that can guard him.

He was always going to be the secret weapon.
I am more confident now that he finally showed what he can do to them.

GS has about ten advantages overall.
The SPURS have only one advantage, but its a big one in Aldridge.

Aldridge tends to daydream and lose interest.
But, when he is focused. He is the one thing GS is going to have issues with in this series.

If Golden State can make him daydream it will be ugly Spurs losses by 20+ in run and guns.
If Aldridge stays focused, the SPurs can win close ugly games by 5-8 points slugfests.

I disagree. Obviously things are different if Bogut & Ezeli are playing.

It was glaring all the offensive rebounds we allowed, or maybe I was just paying too much attention to it because I knew Bogut was out. Spurs just outplayed us and we couldn't make a shot to save our lives. Some of it was Spurs defense, but many were just plain misses.

 

[Robotech]

Harrison Barnes is getting very frustrating to watch. I'm starting to think it's a good thing that he didn't sign the extension. Draymond with all the turnovers and poor shooting is also getting tough to watch.

26 points on 25 shots..

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. Aldridge was very good, but he wasn't a killer tonight.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Dubs missing Bogut, Ezeli...and mostly Iguodala was the main reason the sperms were able to win it....

All good.....GS still on track for 73.


Payback's gonna be a bitch, St. Anthony.

Word!!!

Can I get an AMEN?

Oh hell.....even Pop knows he caught a few home court breaks and dodged a bullet.

Aldridge has shot 39% against green. Yet he can't guard him Lol

Can't believe the Warriors haven't won in SA since the 90's...

Word. I don't understand why those games don't count.

 

[The Derski]

Same to all sports that don't count playoff stats. Absurd.

They only count regular season games in a lot of these streak stats
