When GSW started ratcheting up the pressure on D, that's when the superstar kind of settles everything down- much like what happened to close out the 2nd...and we obviously were missing that Proud of the team as a whole though man. Manu, Patty balled out...LMA and Lee brought grit....even the youngsters stepped up.

Murray and Anderson had a bunch of clutch baskets/passes.

One thing I don't see anyone talking about is Draymond green defense on LMA in the second half was huge.

Dray is an excellent defender but LMA missed a bunch of makeable shots...all in and out...his timing on the last jumper was perfect though...made LMA air ball..

I don't believe it was on purpose, as much as I hate Zazas stupid face. Kawhi did a step back and zaza is obviously a poor defender on the perimeter so he was just clumsily contesting the shot.

Thoses airballed excellent green releases are awful. NBA should give the control back to the player.

No No no!!! Please don't bring green release talk into here. My eyes hurt from that topic.


Re Watching the game now. I can see what 24th is saying, but LMA has a problem when he gets trapped or double team. Too many turnovers by him. I'd love to see the Spurs make the Warriors pay for playing small.


Have you guys heard that Iggy might now play in game 2 (left knee I think)?

Iggy hurt too? Can we not just get one playoff run where dudes can stay healthy. Damn

People really letting their hate for GS come out now haha. I just hope they don't start complaining about moving screens again, because that was so ridiculous last year.

I'm still surprised SA held on as well as they did. They really should have been able to close it but they just didn't get it done. Golden State missed too many free throws though, they could have taken that lead much earlier. I don't see the Spurs jumping out to a big lead like this again.
