Duncan and Manu will be sitting this one out.

I'll predict a close win for the hell of it. Will be good to see the bench get some more minutes. DeColo actually looked decent the last couple of times I saw him. It's not the Heat so maybe we won't get fined.

Spurs should win this one. Warriors coach Jackson only plays Bogut at minimum and only when he has a matchup and is required, with Duncan out, Bogut will receive limited minutes.

Pop getting in Danny Green's face. Maybe it will wake him up?

I thought Jazz had little talk during games....GSW doesn't even have a thread, and Spurs is barely floating tonight.


I just thought this was a great matchup and perfect for a TNT Thursday night. GSW doesn't have the bench to win this game. The little they had they tossed out for Iggy, and now I bet they wish they had Jefferson back.

Spurs is too deep...3's from 1 guy don't win you games against Spurs.

If Curry keeps that pick and roll going, he can win this one as a team.

We are playing well right now. We'll see in crunch time when we need a basket who we go to though.

YEAHHHHHHHH! Nice gutty game! Reggie Miller bellyaching about that tip in but we'll take it! Warriors need to learn how to take care of the basketball and stop the turnovers. They are the NBA version of the Detroit Lions.

Some notes:

- Great games by Marco and Mills. Leonard too, but we know what he's capable of.
- Green seems to have his old lack of intensity back and he needs to wake up.
- Splitter looks rough. I worry about him in crunch time, and I hope he gets his timing and health fully back for OKC. He was demonstrating a great post game to start the year.
- This gives me some peace of mind on the question of whether SA can beat elite teams. With all five starters, GSW is an elite team, and we won without possibly our three best players.

Crazy game. Kawhi was excellent.

The one question I have, if the refs were to review the Splitter game winning basket, would it still count?

I know Reggie Miller was saying that the refs could've reviewed it but chose not to so the winning basket become somewhat controversial. I'm just wondering if it would've counted anyways or it won't.

Did not expect us to win that game, but wow. Splitter's been sucking offensively.
