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

Warriors with 37 in the first half....that's what I mean.

Steph better hit a 3 in the 2nd half or his streak is over

LOL, has a fan of a team winning a game EVER said this?

Spurs are totally dominating the Ws on defense, holding them to well below their average. This is the matchup, outstanding offense vs outstanding defense, who will impose their will? In SA playing the back end of a back to back this result isn't surprising. No excuses, just facts. Is there any doubt the WCF is going 7?

I agree this is a good match up but there was a play where Curry was fouled 4 times and no call. Come on, really? When things like that happen it takes away from the game between 2 great teams. If they're gonna be bad officiating at lease be consistent on both ends.

And for the record this isn't the only game where this happens to Steph. He's fouled often but is probably the star that gets the least amount of calls in his favor.

I have no doubt he'll hit one. Hard to believe he'll go the entire game without at least 1 three.

Well the Spurs got called fouling Steph behind the arc and the guy barely touched him. The refs aren't a major factor here.

Spurs are all over him, doubling a lot, etc. They want the others to beat them, with Iggy out and Barnes a shell lately

Agree. Warriors are just playing like shit

Well, not really. The Spurs defense is making them play worse than normal. The Warriors don't normally face defenses like this. The Spurs are the only team with any chance to beat them in a playoff series and that includes the Cavs.

I totally agree this is probably the only team that can beat GS. Reason being is because they're disciplined & patient where other teams are not.

Also they play the best defense in the entire league

Yes, but Curry is clever enough to find ways to make an impact. He needs to do what he normally does. On the point of Barnes I couldn't agree more.

I often wonder how he feels now about turning down that extension offer. I think if he doesn't get his game back on track he's gonna be replaced in the summer.

Yep, but the Warriors can wear that defense down. They just have to keep at it.

Steph is really not shooting well

Yeah, if these 2 make the WCF, that will likely be the championship series. I don't think anyone can beat either team in a 7 game series except each other.

This may be happening, 28 in the 3rd quarter.

 

[elw4corps]

danny green has had some terrible shot selection in the second half

 

[msgkings322]

The Spurs D reasserted their will in the 4th, only 14 points for GS with a minute left

 

[bksballer89]

Victory

 

[bksballer89]

Ugly basketball but the Spurs will take it

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.

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