As a Spurs fan I think Spurs are either really good or average team depending on the day. Our margin for error is much smaller than supertalented teams like Warriors but when Spurs are playing well they are extremely hard to beat. Ball movement is key with the Spurs. When they get it going it is hard to defend and the Spurs D is pretty damn good at times especially with Pop's mind helping come up with a scheme.
The last game against the Grizz was just a horrible all around game but I wouldn't read too much into. I am concerned with Manu though. He's basically done nothing the entire series and he maybe an unforeseen unreliable player who may not even get many minutes the rest of the playoffs.
Spurs still have the best coach in the NBA and a top 3 player in Kawhi so they are not going to let any team sleep walk through them. They could take the Warriors to 6, maybe 7 but highly unlikely Warriors are just too talented. [Reply]

Rinse, repeat, and just horrible rhythm all the way around. And then he camps in the lane on defense for rebounds. Hardly ever contests a shot. He is a video game player. He's no better this year than any other.
Btw, Harden is guilty of this to a lesser extent. He almost always tries to get 5-7 assists in the 1st quarter.
I can't believe so many ppl on here are criticizing Westbrook. The guy averaged a triple-double for crying out loud. He has been pretty amazing.
No one is saying he is by far the best player in the league but to try to minimize his accomplishments this season is a bit ridiculous. [Reply]

People in here criticize Lebron. It is what it is.
Westbrook has had a phenomenal season. It's been impressive to watch. [Reply]

Really? The games between Hou and SA usually go down to the wire. A miss here and make there could be the difference in the series. Id give SA the edge, but HOU has a legit shot at winning if they get there.
I dont see either Hou or SA being able to beat GS. [Reply]
