One quarter negates 3? :camby:

I was nice enough not to mention Butlers 5 made shots...one a steal and dunk...the other a layup on a tipped rebound...

So he was able to put the ball in the hoop all of 3 times with Kawhi guarding him :scust:

OKC plays no defense and I doubt GS lets Durant go off to beat them in four games. Leonard doesn't need to go off for 30 a night and these team isn't beat for that. And they can match GS small ball lineup with Diaw
OKC's defense is potentially a problem (although with Westbrook, Ibaka, Durant and Roberson on the floor - they have one of the better defenses in the league), but they have the pieces to do it. SA simply don't. It's not just worrying about Durant going off, it's Westbrook too. The Spurs don't have a scorer even close to either of them. Parker is about the only player on the Spurs who can create his own shot and for others, and he's no longer the player he once was.

OKC defense is awful.

Kanter is just incapable of defending and waiters is just waiters

They have the 15th best defense so far (2nd best offense), and that's without Durant for six games - who makes their defense a lot better. Waiters despite being a rockbrain is also a pretty good defender too.

we dont need that granted right now its still early in the season what helps us with gsw is these 3 guys and it has shown last season

green diaw leonard vs curry klay green

thats how we beat them last season cuz of that 2-1 curry gonna get his but he wont be as efficient and will make turnovers with kawhi on him at times

kawhi will be same as curry get his points but with better defense

green and klay cancel each other out depending how both offenses play but green is a better defender and klay is a better scorer

diaw can handle green cuz he uses his fat ass body and does the one thing green doesnt do yet green rather jump shoot more than post up especially in mismatches where diaw will post up most time mismatch or not


now i cant say for certain will pop follow this same blue print from last season and from the looks of it he aint
pop likes to go against the trend and he back on his 2000s spurs defense and but with better offense than those teams
so i dont think he gonna play the small ball this time around

he gonna do the twin towers 2.0 version basically against them since he tends to be ahead of the curve in the league
also

this shyt bout manu parker and tim aint gonna do shyt in playoffs is crap
tim stay embarrassing young ins in playoffs THATS A FACT
parker was hurt all year long last year and towards the end had achilles and hamstring that effected his play no excuses but that is why his play wasn't good in playoffs
manu well he is manu we either get the good or bad so who knows

but the spurs are built to beat them but can they who knows right now we cant even i know this too early in the season and we dont play our best ball till damn near march and take shyt to another level till rodeo road trip which after all star break

we get a sneak peek in late jan too see what pop plans to do against them then i think we play them in april and march and that will give a better idea also

regardless they are the champs u have to respect that and i do and the spurs do
and i know gs respects the spurs cuz they said they have nothing but love from both teams

Since Houston is pretty much done they need to go ahead and give Swag Antonio Clint Capela...I am sure we got a euro stashed somewhere they can have
