    Nice to know we probably played the Warriors the toughest until they meet Cleveland of course. Spurs probably would have done better with Leonard, but we were also missing a key player (obviously not on Leonards level), but a key player nonetheless that I think would have let us at least win game 3. Yeah for morale victory.

    The warriors have won in the playoffs by an average of 16.6 pts/game. They beat us by an average of 18 pts/game - very similar.

    Other than game 1 of the WCF where the spurs lost by only 2, the blazers coming to within 6 is the closest anyone has come to beating the warriors this playoffs.

    The Blazers were the youngest team in the playoffs again.

    There was a lot of panicking after our series with GS, but it was not really warranted.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Perhaps the final game for Manu Ginobili as an NBA basketballer. Pretty historic. At 39, he managed to add one more iconic moment to Spurs lore in his final playoff run:

    Manu should play till he's 40. I think he's got it in the tank.

    So you're saying the Spurs should keep Ginobli and tank next season. It got them Tim Duncan last time, so maybe not a bad idea.

    Shows what happens when a team takes out the opponent's best defender in Game 1.

    Look for Pachulia to put his foot under LeBron in game 1 of the finals

    I don't think he's that dumb.

    But I bet someone tries to take out Kevin Love.

    That would be beyond stupid. He does that and he will probably be suspended till next Christmas.
