Missing open shots and not playing your pace is a good way to lose.

If this keeps up I'll get to go to bed early

Barnes is playing much better lately

Yep. After i crapped all over him too

41% at the half, and 41% the other 2 games. hmm

I think if the Rockets had the choice of which of the 3 teams they would prefer OKC so playing OKC would be a good thing for them.

They went 0-3 vs GSW, 1-3 vs SAS, and 2-2 vs OKC. They would love to play OKC. Not saying they win but they wouldn't last more than 5 against SAS and GSW. That OKC series likely go 6 and possibly a 7th game

Yes, I certainly agree with this. I was laughing though because even if they get to the 6th seed they still can's escape playing a really good (in comparison to them) team.

Me too. But I'm glad he found his game.

I wonder if Pop is mad he didn't rest his starters after seeing how this game has been going. People were talking about Pop doing different things to mess with the psyche of the Warriors but it might just be just as bad for the Spurs if they lose bad tonight in the Bay.

Long way from over. I think Pop is right to play these guys straight up.

Not really. Just over 5 minutes. Do I think they could catch up? Sure, but I also think GS would have to help them in that task by missing shots, turning the ball over & stopping the clock by fouling. But none of that was my point. It hardly seems like GS has been rattled by this team even after their last meeting.

They play them with much more confidence at home. How many games has it been since they won in SA, 20+ right?

Yea but GS has lost 2 of their last 3 though. I expected them to come out ready tonight because they make sure not to lose back to back. But I thought it'd be closer than this. Also, they know they need this game if they want to break the record.

I agree. Spurs are great but I still like us a lot in a series. Blew them out twice at home now and had a solid chance to win in San Antonio last time

Warriors were only up 15-13 when Aldridge went out with a hurt finger, then they went on a 14-2 run and that was kind of it. Let's not get too happy here.

2013 in the 2nd round of the playoffs

We suck

 

[CodeBreaker]

Without Diaw, Spurs won't win tomorrow.

YOU WERE RIGHT!! YOU REALLY KNOW SHIT! YOU'RE THE MAN!

 

[RobToxin]

Where's that post I made when I said the Rockets would be the team that was left out when it was said and done.

 

[bksballer89]

This series is going exactly how I expect it with 2 dominant home teams. I fully expect the Spurs to hold serve at home on Sunday to even the series 2-2.

If they meet in the playoffs, I feel like with how good these teams play at home that there will be only 1 road win. Whoever win that road game will head to the finals

 

[bksballer89]

And as I mention after the last meeting, The Spurs low shooting % vs GSW should be a huge concern.

 

[gordontrue]

I think the Warriors win this game convincingly. I'm going 114 to 104.

Pretty much nailed it.
