Spurs have been on fire, won 8 in a row now. I mean Derozan is still not the Raptors Derozan we all know but Spurs decided to focus more on Derrick White instead of focusing on Derozan and trying to fix him somehow. They really really do need a decent forward for their team but honestly with just a all-star level forward which they could get if they just trade Derozan to another team they could become a championship contender.

Think about it, they have Derrick White, Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills, Lonnie Walker, Bryn Forbes and so forth all great guards in their positions plus Aldridge and Poeltl on Bigs so all they need is a decent forward lineup and they will be really dangerous to whoever they face. If Kawhi didn't left just for one more season and they had no injured players I bet they could have challenged Warriors even this year with that lineup.

San antonio are just trashing the warriors right now and are 50 - 38 nearly into ending the first half.
Looks like they are not quite in playoff mode just yet.
Will see if they can recover in the second half and in the fourth quarter like they always seem to do to pull their games out of the fire.

Warriors always recovers, the chemistry might change a bit because Durant cam back and Bogut already played.
The spurs should not be underestimated as they are winning lately, it's their chance to prove that they can match with the depending champ.

They Win the game, Spurs showed team effort while GSW even Durant already playing is not in a good blend, still long road for this league and
anyone can possibly beat the defending champ, team owners and coaches are adjusting to be more competitive.

GSW will need to adjust as well to continue the dominance, they need to blend more once again.

Right, surprisingly, Spurs beat Golden State Warriors 111-105. DeRozan and Aldridge play big and extend their winning streak.

GSW was able to cut the lead but San Antonio was very quick and didn't allow the Warriors any sort of a comeback. It seems though the Durant going back put some minor strain on the chemistry, but we are sure that them will comeback strong again. Bogut also played with 7 points, as Cousins has hurt his right ankle in the win against OKC.

Well they are not in chemistry when even one of their top star players are not performing to askew the comradery they have in playing as a team.
Klay thompson was 0 of 8 shots with 0 points in the first half for instance.

That's alright, it's just one game, Spurs needed that win for them to secure their playoff status.
GSW does not need to win all the time, they just need to be in playoffs, and with their loss now, they might fall in the number 2 spot since the Denver Nuggets beat the Celtics but we know how dangerous they are in playoffs time, they will play hard and it's hard to beat them.

Denver clinches a spot in the playoffs with this win against boston and no murray three pointer right at the end to throw it in the faces of celtics fans this time around.
Indiana pacer could of secured their playoff hopes tonight but they were playing against a steel door called the portland trailblazers at home.
Phila 76ers clinched in there eastern conference yesterday.

I think he becomes underrated during the arrival of KD in the bay.

Even before KD, Klay is still underrated.
For me, it's because he is not athletic as Durant or like Curry where it's fun to watch with his handles.

Media don't focus too much on the stats and how accurate a player is, they focus on a player where they believe has a lot of fans
as that will make people more interested. I can still remember how many times Klay save them during the last playoffs.

Respect for Klay, can't forget that time when he's able to brought up the team. I don't mind medias and other fans that's belittling him, Klay for me is still one of the assets that Golden State Warrior has.

It's just that they have superstars on the team and the attention that should be on him, are being thrown to KD and Curry. At the end of the day, it's still about their team as one. Klay plays well and I'm sure that he doesn't mind if the attention that the other two has isn't the same as him.

Klay do accept his current condition when it comes on gaining popularity which is lesser compared on that 2.Good thing that he got used to it but im sure that
inside his mind he do really know his worth on the entire team.Try to look on how warriors would perform on all of their game if Klay isnt there.

Probably that's his mindset now that he just have to get used to it since the team has been powered up and they always make it to the finals. But as an athlete jealousy about the fame is also there but I don't fully know Klay personally I won't go further with his condition.

He may not get the same attention with KD and Steph but yeah his worth to the team is big as those two.

There were a lot of expectations with this team when lebron got in...

That's the problem to most people, they expect something. LeBron James is no doubt a great player but how come a team with no playoffs appearance for several years will make it to the top just because of LeBron. I do expect that they can reach the playoffs but not to the point they will reached the finals.

There are lots of big walls on the West and thinking Lakers will go to the finals is like betting on a odds of @10 above. Young cores given a chance to show what they have got during LeBrons disappearance but turned out to be failed. How come we can only blame this losses to LeBron if those young cores are in control during his absence. And besides this losing streak will give them chances for top 1-5 next draft pick.

Lol. Well it seems that with the way the lakers are heading right now, every small detail gets noticed. But who wouldn't. There were a lot of expectations with this team when lebron got in and they got booted out of playoff contention. Man the haters are having a festival everywhere 😂

Well, what I love to see at facebook is the meme of LeBron James Lakers' on how they can be at east. Hahah, it's so funny that I can't move on from that thing. Yes they got booted out from playoffs this season but, LeBron James is still LeBron James. This lost will be taken as a hunger for wins next season. Watch out.

lol! Lecry got blocked! No wonder why the Lakers will miss the playoffs this year...Lecry cannot make his team win and he is the main problem of the Lakers.

There are many problems in the team right now and indeed Lecry is one of them. However, we should not blame only him for this mess in the Lakers team. LeBron James should be blamed as well because he is also part of it. He should be trying to unite the team as he has a strong influence to the players because he is the best player in the NBA.

He's just always there ready to explode when the warriors needed him, Thompson as quite as it is but he's just like scootie when MJ needs lift
he's always have him at his back, never to let the team down when MJ struggles, same alike when Curry or Durant is not productive they will
find help within Thompson's shoulders.

For basketball Fans Thompson already created his own superiority, he's still young and a lots of potentials from this sports.

Westbrook stats is hilarious, 1-15 shooting so far. - No triple double tonight or even double double.

Yeah I noticed this to in the last two games they played. Maybe it was was the effect of what he said to the heckler and his wife after not hearing what they said correctly and then responding in a violent fashion.
He had to pay a rather large fine and since then his play has been effected.

We should really move forward with the Lebron drama. Lakers are not making the playoffs, and Lebron streaks is also over. We are getting into the playoffs now, there are a lot of battling for the next 4-8 spot, it will be interesting who's who on this year playoffs.
