    SA in 4. No, I am not joking. Even if GS gets hot.

    SA in 5. I think GS has a game where they make 15+ threes.

    SA in 5, and they cruise to the finals.

    GS will get hot and win a game.

    The spurs are like robots, they will only lose to a superior team, which won't happen until the finals.

    SA in 4. But I put 5, because GS is bound to have a fantastic game where everyone hits everything.

    SA got to rest after beating a very bad LA team, while GS ran up and down the court with Denver for 6 games.

    Not to mention, SA has HCA.

    Maybe, but are you so sure, this GS is not previous one, they have inside force and great shooters.

    Sure, there are possibilities. I would not be surprised at all if they win a game. However, they got away with A LOT of things against Denver (surprisingly, considering how good of a defensive team that Denver is). San Antonio is such a well-oiled machine that will not break down like Denver did.

    Also, I noticed when GS started getting leads, they would start getting WAYY too loose. San Antonio will catch up EVERY time. Just look at their close out game. They basically handed the ball to Denver every play and blew an 18 point lead to a one possession game in about 4 minutes.

    San Antonio just rested for a long time and GS thinks Denver was physical with them, but really they were just playing ball.

    LOL I had a dream last night that Klay Thompson had 90 points and Curry had 80 in the same game

    Spurs in 6. The Warriors have lost 29 straight in San Antonio, so I can't see them wining any games there.

    I know the Spurs are gonna win but dang I really want the Warriors pull it out. I thought they were gonna get destroyed by Denver in the first round and I was completely wrong. Not a fan of their coach but I like their players and their playing style. Doesn't hurt that they have some of the most passionate fans in the league.

    Curry gets no help. SA in 5. Then SA beats Memphis in 7. Then loses to Miami in 6

    If GS plays as sloppily as in the last Nuggets game, they're going to get swept.

    I don't know, I think Curry might pull it out. I am starting to lend towards GS in 7 epic games.

    Spurs in 6. I think Curry and Co. will transcend to another level in a couple game and catch the Spurs by surprise, but overall Spurs is just superior.
    Warriors benefited a lot from a defensively collapsed Nuggets team, but Spurs is just too well-oiled and discipline to lose.

    Even Chicago has a better chance to advance than GS. This is just a terrible matchup for GS.

    So, I said SA in 6, but I might change it to SA in 7.

    One thing GS has over LAL is that everyone on the floor can shoot, sans Bogut. Whereas you had to just hinder Gasol and Howard, it's harder to play all 5 guys.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think SA is going to just steamroll GS.
