lets not get crazy

Statement win.

Fully expected the Spurs to absolutely destroy GSW and that's what they did

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

SPURS own the Warriors in San Antonio.
That is 32 consecutive wins at home....most of them beatdowns

No other team is completely and totally helpless versus San Antonio is Texas.
It is almost surreal.

Didn't GSW win in the playoffs 2 years ago in San Antonio?

 

[bksballer89]

If they meet in a series, I just can't picture a situation where the Warriors win that series in under 7 games

I expected them to beat us or put up a big fight but not lose this badly lol. But I think they needed a gut punch IMO

Yes but not in the regular season

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Spurs have won 32 consecutive regular season game.

They did lose a playoff game in 2013 (Spurs won the series), but the regular season is 32 straight.

Still 32-1 at home versus the Warriors has got to be in Golden State's head.

And the Spurs usually beat them on the road as well most years.

They won't say it, but they are quietly praying SA does not get the #4/#5 game.

 

[bksballer89]

Yes but not in the regular season

Forgot those streaks only include regular season games

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

This is a very good GSW team regardless.

I dont think anyone but SA can beat them in the West.

And its not a guarantee for either team.

Likely Spurs in 6, or Warriors in 7 type series

Either way they would likely have to play the Spurs to get to the finals.

I think SAS is the only team that can beat them in a series in the league.

Honestly if they play in a seres I think the Spurs win in 6.

As you mentioned Spurs own them in San Antonio so I don't think SAS would lose a home game to them and the Spurs IMO are good enough that if you give them 3 cracks to win in GSW to win once

Yeah agree.

Hard to picture anyteam beating GSW in a 7th game in GSW so yeah it would either be Spurs in 6 or GSW in 7

Spurs have fits with Housto (for some reason).

Warriors would love to see #3 Houston/ #6 SPurs as the dream spot for SAS

 

[Hambombs]

If warriors are beating the spurs they need 1 of the 3 games in San Antonio. This is why home
Court is critical

Can't see the Spurs lower than 5 but the Warriors easiest road to the finals is probably OKC, Portland, & Houston

 

[Hambombs]

Only w

Can't see the Spurs lower than 5 but the Warriors easiest road to the finals is probably OKC, Portland, & Houston

ay they're 5th is if clips keep winning

 

[Hambombs]

Another thing. Biggest difference in this game was that Leonard is 10x the player Barnes is.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Getting out the 6th is tougher than it looks

Those injury december games count and really hurt tiebreaks.

The only team they control their destiny is Houston with 2 games left.

They need LAC, Port, Memphis to lose more games or the 6 seed is virtually assured.

It will be interesting.

I'm too lazy to look up the remaining schedule for the Spurs, CLippers, & Grizzlies though
