I mean i guess. I'm nowhere near saying the Spurs WILL beat GSW cause that's just silly...what i am saying though is that with at the very least a victory over Klay and Steph in the playoffs once already, albeit things are drastically different now, I feel SLIGHTLY more confident if and when they meet again in May. At least there is some sample size there.
As a Spurs fan, you should feel confident about your team. I would. If I was a Spurs fan, there'd be no doubt in my mind that they would beat the Warriors. The same works vice versa for a team that is the defending champion and currently 38-4. Any "fan" that doesn't admit that the Spurs are a legitimate concern to the Warriors is either delusional or sorely uninformed. Same can be said for any Spurs fan who thinks similarly about the Warriors.
The difference I see between the Warriors and Spurs is that what the Warriors do cannot be replicated by interchangeable parts. The Spurs have players that are capable of handling bigger roles or stepping in, and filling in, without missing a beat.
The Warriors are the greater sum of their parts. When clicking, they're untouchable. The versatility and flexibility of the lineup is insane. The problem is if one of those pieces are missing, it's going to be a grind.
If both the Warriors and Spurs play their A game, I believe the Warriors win. If both play their B game, I think it'll be too close to call. If both teams play their C game or lower, Spurs win every time.
