Warriors Smash the Spurs | Nasser Erakat

Every time the Warriors are suppose to be challenged. We heard it last week when they played Cleveland, Chicago and now the Spurs. The NBA power rankings had Spurs as number 1 some lists. With everything that the Warriors have done so far, nobody still gives them the respect. Keep saying that the Warriors cannot and they will show 

you they can. The Spurs came into town on Monday night. This was the game, this was the two power houses in the NBA. This was the Western Conference Finals matchup.  One of these two teams will win the NBA Championship this year. There was so much hype about this game and so many celebrities were there too. The Super Bowl will be played in the Bay Area which brought out the stars. This was the measuring stick, this would tell you which team is the best in the NBA. The Warriors already swept the season series against Cleveland, which would be a test since in the Finals last year, Cleveland was not healthy.  The Warriors were bringing their 40-4 record against the second best team who was on a 13 game winning streak and was 38-6. When these two Power Houses clash it will be a great game or that is what we thought. Unless you were living under a rock you by now know the outcome. The usually victim fell to the Warriors. The Starters for both teams didn't play in the fourth quarter. Stephen Curry, last years and this years MVP dropped 37 points in 28 minutes. Oh and I forgot, Tim Duncan didn't play, which would have not mattered either way. The Warriors are just too good.

The Spurs Are Great, but the Warriors Are Much, Much Better

The San Antonio Spurs were supposed to be the team that slowed the Golden State Warriors’ inexorable run to the N.B.A. title. The arrival of LaMarcus Aldridge, the continued transformation of Kawhi Leonard into a star, the veteran leadership of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan and the craftiness of Coach Gregg Popovich seemed to add up to a formidable challenge for the defending champions.

On Monday night, the teams met for the first time this season in one of the most hotly anticipated regular-season games in years. And the Warriors won by 30.

The game was never really in doubt. Stephen Curry, who continues to hit shots that seem to defy physics, scored 37 points and sat out the fourth quarter.

Admittedly, the Spurs were playing on the road and without Duncan, who had a sore knee. But as Popovich said afterward: “It was like men and boys. They beat us in every phase of the game.” Full Article

I like the fact that nobody gives respect to the Warriors. I like the fact that the Warriors play with a chip on their shoulder. Come June, the Warriors will be holding up their second NBA title. The Warriors are just so much better and they keep proving their critics wrong. I don't really care about the bulls record, I care about the Bulls Championships which are six titles. The Warriors franchise has four and in June five. I see this team winning 1-2 more titles which would give them a total of seven. I know, I know, lets get this years title first and I agree. The Warriors are fun to watch and I love the fact that they are blowing teams out. Keep it up and lets go back to back. Thanks for reading.
