Serious question. Do you believe that the Spurs, even with a healthy Kawhi, would win this series?The Warriors needed Kyrie to get injured to win the title 2 years ago. Looks like they need Leonard injured to beat the Spurs.
They are absolutely capable of it.Serious question. Do you believe that the Spurs, even with a healthy Kawhi, would win this series?
On this you and I will agree. But the Warriors would have been the favorites even with a healthy Leonard. I mean, the Spurs might not win THIS game with a healthy Kawhi.They are absolutely capable of it.
Agreed on the first point but it doesn't matter. Its the NBA, guys talk on every possession. Regarding Pachulia, he was contesting the shot and came forward into Leonard's space. It was a legit foul but not dirty.We have no idea what Draymond said. He may or may not have deserved the T. Pachulia moved right under Kawhi with no purpose. Wasn't blocking the shot. Just moved underneath to knock him off balance.
Healthy Kawhi and I think this one is already over.On this you and I will agree. But the Warriors would have been the favorites even with a healthy Leonard. I mean, the Spurs might not win THIS game with a healthy Kawhi.
You were saying?Yeah, this one looks over. The real question is impact of Kawhi's balky ankle on rest of series.
I see it differently with Pachulia. I think he contested and then took a couple little steps forward to get underneath him.Agreed on the first point but it doesn't matter.

We can agree to disagree here. The Warriors can score volume in a hurry against anyone.Healthy Kawhi and I think this one is already over.
Unflickingbelievable.16-0 run. Boy, that escalated quickly.
Kawhi has mattered more at the other end. It's much harder to the Spurs to score without him.We can agree to disagree here. The Warriors can score volume in a hurry against anyone.
No doubt but cmon, the run happened right after he came out.We can agree to disagree here. The Warriors can score volume in a hurry against anyone.
Spurs still up 8. Could easily hold on. Manu looks great.You were saying?
I mean, Matt Barnes is getting minutes in his spot. This is strange. Why haven't the announcers mentioned this?Iguodala has only played 10 minutes so far. Is he hurt?
They've been calling it very tight both ways.That's a pretty soft foul on Gasol given how physical GS is being at the other end.
And Thompson with a bad possession there -- gives up an open three, makes a tough pass that Green can't handle.Thompson has been a complete non factor. Warriors probably have 1 more run in them. Spurs just need to weather it and get the ball into the post.
It was a travel. Missed call.How was that not a travel or something?
Let's also not forget a guy named Tony Parker. Without a healthy Kawhi, the Spurs shouldn't even come close to winning a game against GS. Shit, they don't even have to defend Patty Mills when he's more than 10 feet from the hoop.Considering how strong the West has been the last 3 years, GS has had amazing matchup luck. Outside of OKC last year, what healthy top team have they beaten? Now Leonard hurt. Not saying anyone would have beaten them but it would be nice to see a contest.
Just bring Bowen out of retirement to do his signature move to Steph. He basically invented that shitI am a big fan out the announcers talking about how "GS figured it out on the defensive end". Yah I wonder what changed...but sure give them credit for injuring the other teams best player.
He's filling the Harrison Barnes role nicely. It's right there for SA.Klay Thompson hasn't been this bad since Game 7.
You do know Leonard was injured prior to the game and re-tweaked his ankle stepping on his own teammate's foot, right?I am a big fan out the announcers talking about how "GS figured it out on the defensive end". Yah I wonder what changed...but sure give them credit for injuring the other teams best player.
It always is. It's part of the package with Green.Draymond Green's whining is epic tonight.
