The real basketball is on ABC. The tourney has been entertaining, but this is the premier game of the regular season.

    Warriors small ball will run them off the court. The run is coming.

    Shots aren't really falling for Golden State and they're still nearly tied, it's going to be a great WCF.

    Aldridge is going to be a serious issue for golden state. They are going to need Bogut to wear him down in a 7 game series because Green/Barnes can't handle his size/skill combo.

    For the first time in a long time Golden State's small lineup got its shit pushed in the way it logically should.

    A repeat is not a slam dunk.

    A repeat isn't a slam dunk ...

    But it's also one game ... on the back end of a back to back without the Warriors best interior bigs in Bogut and Ezeli.

    The recipe for the Warriors, or any team playing San Antonio, is to find opportunities to abuse Tony Parker defensively. Against the Warriors, Parker will get hidden on Harrison Barnes in their traditional starting lineup and he just needs to go after him and abuse him ... or be the screener in the pick and roll for Draymond Green and force Parker into a situation where he has to contain Green with everybody else focused on the shooters.

    What makes Golden State so dangerous offensively is that they can pretty much provide a counter for anything that you do to them defensively. There's a lot more to them than what Curry brings to the table.

    The other thing that everybody forgets is that the Warriors are an elite level defensive team as well in the league ... the Spurs only shot 41% for the game and for as much as the talk about Aldridge's game was, he was only 11 for 25 with only 4 FTs ... far from the type of game that should get a team worked up regarding a plan to stop him going forward.

    I'd still back the Warriors in a series ... likely in 6 or 7 games.

    Disagree. Spurs are undefeated at home playing the Warriors. That was high quality basketball too.

    Christ -any basketball geek that doesn't have two TV's set up in March isn't a basketball fan.

    Should have watched both abundantly.

    Any other time, I'd agree. But the first weekend of the NCAA tourney is the best ting in sports.

    I went full boobs and had UFC fight night on the phone, March madness on the tablet, and warriors on the tv.

    agree that a repeat isn't a slam dunk - spurs are certainly capable

    i can't put a whole lot into golden state's small lineup getting beat up though. the effectiveness of that lineup with and without iguodala is night & day.

    Warriors aren't a slam dunk, but it's close. Curry went 1-12 from three last night and the game went down to the wire. And Iguodola was out.

    Well of course it's high quality basketball. They're both elite professional teams that have won titles recently. Even @GrandpaSankey can see that. The point is that this game doesn't mean dick in the grand scheme of things and there are a bunch of great games being played right now for a trophy.

    Most these games are equivalent to a first round playoff game. Most the teams involved in the great games are already out.

    College basketball and the NBA are the same. There's no reason to watch before the last two weeks of the regular season. Plus, what's up with putting ABC games on Saturday night? That's just weird.

    warriors need to go 9-3 to guarantee home court...or if they take one of the remaining two games against the spurs (likely), they can go like 7-5

    spurs have to play gsw twice, okc twice, miami, memphis, toronto, and dallas. Spurs will likely lose a handful of those while they rest players and try to build more chemisty with some of their bench players.
