2nd Round(2013): SPURS(2) vs WARRIORS(6)

[Andrew]

I'm really starting to think that I've severely underestimated the Warriors going into this series. Mark Jackson was my pick for Coach of the Year, so I'm also thinking he really should've gotten it instead of George Karl.

Dawg, stay around this time and make threads for conference finals.

Andrew Bogut once thought about retirement, now he’s leading the resurgent Golden State Warriors

Great to see Bogut being a huge factor for the Warriors' success in this playoffs.

Bogut has a dogged Australian win at all costs mentality. Love his hustle and energy. At full strength definately top 5 in NBA.

Bogut would be in the top 3 centers healthy at the moment. Gasol, Howard, Bogut. If Cousins ever wises up he could the best of the lot.
As people have said above, the 2010 season Bogut had finally hit his potential, was averaging nearly 20 a game towards the end of the season, was dudded in the all star game with horford getting the spot, and then amare nudged him and that was it. The bucks would have made the 2nd round of the playoffs or even the conference finals if Andrew was healthy that year. In fact had he been healthy every season for the bucks, in the weak Eastern Conference, they would have been playoff bound each year. But I think it was good for him to get away from the Milwaukee climate, Skiles, Jennings etc. The warriors have a proper team environment where Bogut is a leader and finally getting the attention he deserves. I think he just needs to start shooting the jumper more to open up the lane to the basket. When playing for the boomers, he has been able to hit 3s, and at the bucks he showed he could drive to the basket. So this summer, he should work on getting his confidence back on offence and work on his free throws which since the injury have gotten worse. I think he could shoot at least 65 percent from the line.

Thanks shadowgrin, for sharing with NLSC folks!!!

Impressive win for the Warriors, who may just pull off the upset after all.

[Andrew]

Perhaps I spoke too soon there; big win by the Spurs to go up 3-2. That said, you can't help but be impressed by the Warriors.

[shadowgrin]

It took great games from Klay Thompson and Jarett Jack just to bail out the Warriors and give them those 2 wins.
I'm not worried about the Warriors upsetting the Spurs unless Curry, Barnes, Jack, and Klay all have a good game at the same time.
