I'm not sure having Duncan would cover for Spurs' general sloppiness and Warriors superior offensive creativity.

West and Diaw are 7-9 for 17 points. Aldridge is 1-7 for 3 lol.

Lol The reason Miami was hated was they cheated the system and joined a team together of 3 HOF guys without working for it....GSW Did it by drafting and actually had to work for it then getting handed to them.

Curry will be the face cause hes the best shooter in NBA history already and ungaurdable hes decent on D but being a good defender doesnt make you the face of the NBA anyways

Brent Barry is also a future coach in waiting. Just amazing bball IQ.

Aldridge needs to step up. I have a feeling he will choke in the playoffs too.

Just unbelievably good.... that we played them as good we did is a good sign that we've been smart about how we've constructed this roster.

We're missing a better SF/PF and we're right there as championship contenders.

It could be successful if the Spurs force their pace. Aldridge is also just having a poor game.

I think the pace of this game is too quick for the Spurs to be successful. Combined with their first half sloppiness/turnovers playing right into Warriors' hands, and it's game over.

Warriors also combating Spurs aggressive ball denial by cutting backdoor/into open space and sneaking behind the defense. Credit to Draymond/Livingston for making those quick reads and passes. If they don't get immediate scores, the cut and subsequent pass still forces defensive rotation.

They're so fun to watch... Anyone that loves the game cannot hate on this at all. This is is basketball being played at its fundamental best as a team game.

Spurs look very ill-prepared to both guard Curry and to operate offensively - plenty of bad turnovers, LMA has been especially awful.
