Curry and Thompson have blown me away in these playoffs. Being their first shot at it, I really thought they'd break under the pressure. But they've done the exact opposite. Klay in particular was susceptible to the deer-in-headlights issue that seems to hit most first time playoff performers.
I love my Spurs obviously, but I'd be happy to see a class team like GS get through. They're the closest thing to an NCAA sleeper team in terms of excitement and unpredictability. They've got nothing to lose and they're playing like it.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
These two teams play with class and the coaches don't complain. Hell even the sportswriter in Denver said Andrew was a thug and had no basketball skill. You guys are good and can adapt. Hopefully we can irk another win down there. Lol Best of luck guys.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Thompson and Curry are scary good and they are not a-holes like many in the NBA. The guy who is also really impressing is Harrison Barnes. If not for playing SA, I would be rooting for GS to beat anyone else in the league.
I've always been a big David Lee guy too. Imagine where this series might be if he were healthy. Hopefully SA can finish this in 6 because your playing with fire in a game 7 with shooters like GS has. If the Spurs can avoid the 10 minute offensive stall the usually seem to have in almost every playoff game for the last 10 years, they can get this done.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Great win. Parker looked gassed out there. Curry and Klay (Kid N Klay) don't look anywhere near as deadly as they did at the start of the series.
TMac sighting! Love it when he waved off a Blair screen and drove to the hole. Got blanketed on D and dropped it off.
Hopefully we finish this off in Oakland. I'm confident we'd win a game 7 but I want the extra rest for our guys.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Great win last night, the defense was excellent and Curry and Klay just looked off. We need to finish this series off in Oakland.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Joey Crawford tonight? Really? That's equal to the NBA giving the big middle finger to the Spurs.
We are doomed.......

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Great move by Splitter. Spurs looking good so far in this one. Curry is keeping GS in striking distance though. Duncan has been excellent.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Congrats Spurs fans. Good luck in your next series. It's a shame that Curry's ankle got tweaked; that seems to have robbed him of the ability to hit the long range J off the dribble. And that was the engine that drove the Warriors offense. Duncan and Parker looked great, as always.

Re: Round 2: Spurs vs. Warriors
Said it before, I'll say it again: if you live by streaky shooting, you die by it too. The Warrior's run was nice and all, but if you run into a competent D, you will fall. Lesson learned. People overrated Thompson's impact. He had one good game.
Bottom line is this:
