    There should be more time on the clock after that foul

    Warriors got lucky thanks to the Kawhi injury but good teams take advantage of opportunities. If he's out game two the Warriors will roll. These ain't the Rockets.

    I think the Spurs continue to play them tough. Today was a huge loss though.

    Dejounte and Kawhi in 2 years is going to be ridiculous.

    I'm not sure what to think about this ...

    I love the fact that Murray isn't scared of the moment ... that tells me that he's going to have a fighting chance in the league ...

    But he needs to be able to shoot the basketball ... most of his baskets right now are coming from being on the weakside rotations and teams being ok with him shooting it.

    Kawhi couldn't shoot when he got to the league either.

    How can a former all star like Aldridge get this rattled? What a bitch.

    I thought picking him up was huge for San Antonio - felt like the Lakers picking up Pau. Dude who can't carry a team but would be a really strong #2. I'm shocked how far he's fallen off. That said he's been pretty good the last game and three plus quarters.
    Pretty much this ...

    When Leonard was there with Aldridge ... it was a very lethal combination in the 1st half.

    But Aldridge can't carry a team by himself ... and that was pretty evident after Leonard got hurt again.

    Without Leonard, the Spurs can't score with the Warriors. That's the fundamental problem for them.

    With Leonard, he's able to create enough in the lane to cause problems and be able to at least consider locking up somebody defensively enough to make the defense significantly better. Take him out defensively and then everything opens up.

    I'd be shocked if he was worth a damn in Game 2 and played ... I can see the Spurs maybe getting a game at home (and with the schedule it probably gets Leonard back for Games 3-4) ... but I'd be shocked at this point if this series went past 5 games. If the Spurs could have hung on today, they could have rested Leonard in Game 2, got their split at home, and then taken their chances with a 3 game series. Now, they'll dig themselves too big of a hole to get out from.

    Night and day difference ...

    If I'm betting I think Murray will make it ... he could be the next version of Parker for them. But he's got to be able to at minimum get to the point where that mid-range jumper becomes close to automatic for him or teams are just going to give him anything he wants outside of the lane.

    The Warriors weren't likely to win the game if Leonard didn't get hurt but you could see how they started the 3rd quarter that they were going to give a good solid run the rest of the way as it was.

    Good chance Game #2 is a blitzing.
