So you think spending the most money on a roster that only can win a Conference Finals is something that Gilbert brags about to his peers? Just stop it.

If he did, I'm sure the owners of the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, Spurs and really any other team that has actually won titles would all be very impressed. :lol:

Can't wait till that one. What pains me is that fans of the winning team will think the game actually means something.

Not just those Fanbases.

It will give us tons to debate until their next meeting.

I can't speak for anyone else. But, after the Dubs oblterated the Cavs, it seems like a two Team race for the Chip.....RIGHT NOW.

Of course, A serious injury or major trade could change that in a hurry.

What I don't wanna see is "(winner) beat (loser), so that means they have no chance in the playoffs!" I mean, yeah it's between the top 2 teams but neither coach will show EVERYTHING this early.

Pssssssh...

It wouldn't surprise me if Pop rested a few, or all, of the starters.

It would piss me off.

But, wouldn't surprise me.

Plus, unless it was a curb stomp like the Cavs, nobody should think that way.

even if it was, I still wouldn't look much into it. Spurs built leads of 15 and 28 against GSW last season and won the season series 2-1. General consensus was still that GSW could beat them in the playoffs. I'm just not a fan of over-analyzing wins vs the big boys this early or in the regular season in general.

Yeah, I agree.

I really just want to see how these 2 Teams match up and to see a competitive contest .

It was fun to rib Wiggy over his Team's destruction.

But, I don't enjoy watching those types of games.

I am guessing both teams hold serve at home.

Both seem to have an invincibility at home these days....something like nearly 80 regular season home wins a row combined.

I think the Warriors probably win on Monday (especially if Aldridge is not playing) by a reasonable margin.
I think the Spurs win their home games as well in San Antonio.

These matchups would really only mean something if the road team won and truly rattles the aura of home strength.

Pop hates coaching the All-Star game, so GSW will win even if he has to sit Aldridge, Timmy, Parker and Leonard to make sure. :lol:

So lucky, but that was fucking nuts hahah. I'm glad he's finally getting his opportunity to play.

I'm just happy because I need all these east teams ahead of Miami to keep losing til we get healthy.

DeMarcus Cousins with a 24 point/8 rebound first half, not bad. Need more from the rest of the team to get the win though.

Atlanta sucks. How do you lose to us? No Bledsoe, Knight, Morris, Leuer, Price, etc. On a 6 game losing streak with 12 losses in our last 13 games and you can't close it out?

Yeah I was pretty shocked. Funny thing is that it seems like you guys had the lead most of the game

They were without Millsap, but still a horrible loss.
