Fucking Aldridge out there taking weak ass fades. Bench that SCRUB

Maybe he doesn't want to be 0-1 in the Finals.

If I'm Doris Burke and I had to interview Pop at the half, I'm taking the fine.

Yeah.....Kawhi wasn't going to be the difference tonight.

That's a weird thing to say to me because it assumes that the absence of a difference maker doesn't affect the flow of the game for both teams. In other words that golden state would have played exactly the same and only the spurs game would have changed.

 

[TJL]

Hell yeah!

Just remember to say the safe word or wiggle your fingers when you want me to stop.

I didn't say shit to you. And Golden St. started getting in their groove at the start of the 2nd half of last game. If Kawhi was still in the game, Golden St. is likely down 0-1. But you think Kawhi completely changes the outcome of this game right now? You do realize that the Spurs have near the same defensive efficiency, even when Kawhi's not in the game, don't you?

Thanks Zaza for spoiling a potentially great series.

Lebron is trying to compete for GOAT status. Doesn't make a compelling argument for him if he goes 3-5 on the biggest stage

Sorry let me restate "to me that is a weird thing to say" I was not implyIng you were directing it at me. I'm just saying that the game would be totally different. It's more complex than just what happens on O and what happens on D. But in fairness I never thought SA was winning more than 1 anyway.

 

[DorianRo]

Leonard or no Leonard, it doesn't matter. They woke the Warriors up. Spurs only had a big lead in Game 1 because they were Half asleep.

Oh, you...you got plans already...

That's fair. But what are you getting from Aldridge this game compared to game 1? What are you getting from Gasol? Is it easier for Golden St. to do what they're doing w/out Kawhi? Certainly. Dude's the best defender on the court. But Golden St. played possibly their worst half of the season in game 1. They look in sync now. Aldridge and Gasol are the main reason there's a 28-point gap, not the absence of Kawhi (although him being out doesn't help at all).

Going to 7 straight Finals seems pretty cool. We all thought that they weren't going to beat the Warriors last year and thought the series was done at 3-1. Shit happens.

Again you are assuming that impact is in a vacuum. does KL take pressure away from those guys and get better looks who knows but I don't think the game would look like this. But you are right LA and PG are and largely have been no-shows when it matters most.

I don't think the game looks like a drubbing. But with the way Golden St. looks, I'm willing to venture they'd be up somewhere between 12-15 instead of damn near 30.

But again, this series would've went 6-7 with a healthy Kawhi.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Here comes the mighty comeback!

 

[Heatles84]

Dubs look to be cold now. If Spurs are going to do something, now's the time.

 

[Heatles84]

No Zaza the rest of the night. Your players are safe, Spurs.

 

[Heatles84]

Might want to get Barnes out of the game.
