Welp looks like I lost my Denver prediction.

But man, them Warriors choking like that? They are going to have a tough time against San Antonio Spurs.

Is this the first time Andrew Bogut made it past the first-round of the postseason too?

Congratulations to the Warriors.  Didn't think they'd beat the Nuggets.

I don't think they'll beat the Spurs either, but I've already been wrong once.  I like the way the West is shaping up.  Should be fun to watch that side of the bracket play out.

The west is wide open now that Westbrook is gone for the season. Don't think Durant can carry the team to the finals by himself. I know I shouldn't be underestimating the Spurs but I don't think they have what it takes to make it out the West. I wouldn't be surprised if GSW upsets them.

I think the Grizzlies are the favorites to come out the west now

Yep. He's only been to the playoffs once with the Bucks and they lost to the Hawks in 7, I think.

So Miami and San Antonio swept, and other than that teams with a chance to close out are 1-7, and the 1 is Golden State.  Makes sense.

It's a good thing these games aren't played on paper.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

We've seen that Golden State cannot deliver in the crucial time. They lack playoff experience. Yet they are in the second-round. They will walk into the hostile San Antonio crowd for the first two games playing an almost healthy team. They just need Splitter back to deal with Bogut. Warriors are explosive, but again, lacking playoff experience will be their demise.

Spurs in 5.

That said, the last time The Dubs won in San Antonio was in 1997.

If David Lee will play and is atleast 80% of himself, the Dubs will make a series with San Antonio.

I bummed that my boy Brandon Rush is missing this run though. Warriors could reallybuse him and his defense.

Yeah, what are they booing it EXACTLY? Hahah. And Monta Ellis is out of the playoffs...so doesn't that tell them anything?

GSW are the winners of this trade. Looking back at this video, too bad karma will bite these fans' behind when the Spurs take over though.

I really like the Warriors.  So many players I like . . . Curry, Jack, Landry, Lee, Bogut.

The Spurs / Warriors series will be a good one.

I'm skeptical.

Against the Nuggets it was a lot easier to get away with Barnes/Green playing PF than it will be against the Spurs.

He won't, he was out there and couldn't do anything on the court. Hips don't heal quickly like that.

I know.

Was really surprised he even suited up to play. The Warriors could use his rebounding against the Spurs though.

Yep, ask any Warriors fans in the Bay about this and everyone will tell you "Uh yeah, we shouldn't have done that."
