Their defense was bad. They were losing tons of games to Eastern contenders. They were just messing with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the enitre nba now thanks to golden state. Yeah it works if you have steph and klay., two anomolies and unique players that no other team will ever duplicate The nba product sucks and unwatchable. No fast breaks, just teams hoisting up as many 3a as possible mixed in with a few dunks and a whistle every 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both out no way. Celts have lacked offensive firepower without Thomas and he's been hurt since the Wizards series. Take two underdogs, add injuries to key players and you have a recipie for a blowout. The Celtics window is not closing however. It's just opening up.

It's just opening up. i think people are overrating tony a bit. he's been pretty bad these last 2 seasons and kind of turned it on for these playoffs. i love tony but he's definitely over the hill and on the decline, i think that team is better with patty in the game anyway leonard is certainly a difference maker but unless the spurs play perfect basketball or have LA, simmons, manu, etc. all step up, they're not beating the warriors. pop basically says as much, your only chance is to pray, the warriors only beat themselves imo edit - and i think the toll these mvp finalists have gone through over the course of the season fighting for their teams is really starting (and did for westbrook/harden) to show. this is the first season kawhi has really been "the guy, 100%" on offense. it wears on everyone and kawhi is still human. he's still going to want to defend who he wants to defend, his energy management would have been really tested while gsw can basically trot out 4 all-stars, 2 mvp's and a dpoy to share the burden. i mean... i love optimism and rooting for the long shot but the spurs at 100% would be lucky to stretch it to 6 imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 2 and 1/2 quarters with Leonard really showcased the Spurs inability to create shots, defend or really do much of anything against the Warriors. It was a pretty pathetic attempt by the Spurs. And you're right. Pop is known for calling out other teams star players, badmouthing entire teams and telling the media that the Spurs will destroy every team. So much bulletin material comes out of his mouth that it's crazy that he's allow to talk to media by the owners. For him to praise an opposing team/player and downplay his own teams ability is freaking crazy. He's never done it. Honestly, he quit about 10 years ago. You heard Pop completely slammed Tim Duncan for coming to the practice facility for the free food and being unable to offer any advice to the team, right? In the end it just doesn't matter because my university will get whatever it wants and be on the inside on any incarnation of whatever conference it chooses and whatever incarnation of the NCAA or BCS that arises. Our ego only got bigger with the Pac-10, SEC and Big 10 trying to get us to join their conference. Look, why don't you just be quiet before my university buys yours and closes it just for spite?
