FWIW, last year Aldridge played pretty well against the Warriors and he was 1 of only 2 guys on that team you really had to worry about. He dropped 25+ both games I think.

You can't sleep on Clay's shooting. The guy has multiple 20+ point quarters in this league. When he gets rolling its a sight to see. But I agree, as an all around player I think he's vastly over hyped. He's a poor man's Reggie Miller IMO. Tall and clever with a great shot; good at coming off screens or hitting in transition. But he's not going to create for himself and he his defense is just okay. He's also very streaky.

Klay doesn't scare me unless Curry and Draymond are lighting it up and we start cheating towards them too much.
That's how good Curry is, not Klay
I liken Thompson to a better and more all around shooter than Green (of past). He has a bigger Arsenal, but he isn't a creater. He needs someone to put him in position. But he can knock it down when given the chance
That's kinda what I was thinking. Spurs are a problem for them (and everybody else too), but if Curry is hittting everything regardless there isn't much you can do.
Looks like the Warriors woke up again... kicking the crap out of everybody again... still 2.1 points per game difference behind the Spurs!
The Western Conference Champs may be who gets the luckiest with injuries.

Not only that, but the path the Spurs have to take to get there. If we've got two 6-7 game series, the old folks may be worn down for a series with the Warriors especially with their style speed and relentlessness.

In the Western Conference Playoffs, outside of the Warriors, I don't see anyone taking the Spurs more than five games. Maybe if we run into OKC, it could go six. Also, the team isn't really that old and every player is getting a lot of rest.
I'm hoping that the GSW will keep striving for the wins record and be worn out by the time the playoffs start. The Spurs should be well rested come playoff time
quote:Indeed. Early in the season Pop has been much more willing to let multiple starters rest in a single game. He won't push them for home court. We should easily wrap up the #2 seed w/out having to press.

About Golden State Monday, I am more excited for a regular season game that I am not attending than I have been in a while.
Keys to the game:
- Defending the Draymond/Steph pick and roll
- dealing with lineups (lineup of death for us, our ability to go big/post up for them)
- will Danny Green make his 3s?
- Will Steph catch fire/draining 35 ft step backs
- turnovers

No fast breaks: Make them execute all.game.long against a set defense
No offensive rebounds: GS thrives on momentum and the havoc that comes in the wake of an offensive rebound... and they crash the boards hard
Defend the Curry/Green PnR: This is how I'd start. Who knows if it would work, but it's premised on the idea that you simply can't get through a screen fast enough to bother Curry's shot.
Green's defender needs to beat him to the screen and already be over the top and stay on him until Curry's defender gets back. Curry's defender slow plays getting around the screen to take away the direct passing lane, and help from the paint/wings shows just enough to prevent the lob over the top.
I also throw lots of defenders at Curry, but primarily Kawhi and Danny. When Curry doesn't already have the ball, the focus is on making Klay Thompson (covered by anyone) or Draymond Green (covered by Kawhi or Danny) create the offense. Those are good enough options that the Warriors will probably take them, but they aren't as good as Curry.

So Leonard is there starting center?

Bryant: 1k tweets
Curry: 6.4k tweets
Westbrook: 5.4k tweets
Durant: 22.5k tweets
Leonard, the youngest of the group: 4 tweets
Three of his tweets are probably blank with the fourth being a hand emoji.
Interesting side note: 18% of Warriors' remaining schedule is vs OKC/Spurs.
Not surprising

INJURY REPORT: Tim Duncan (rest) and Tony Parker (soreness, right hip) are both out for tonight's Spurs-Suns game.
Goodbye 30 point win.
Well done, Spurs fans!
Yeah, Tim has played a whole one game in six days, so it's good that he'll finally get some time off.
Dat final surge!
Must really want to blow out Kobe tomorrow.
Tip off, Suns tip the ball straight out of bounds.
A microcosm of their season.

Getting sloppy and complacent.
Can we put this away early please?
