Spurs’ Win Vs The Warriors Meant Very Little
My “what did I tell you” regarding the ridiculously hyped REGULAR SEASON tilt between the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs is not because I predicted an 8 point Spurs win that manifested.
It refers to the point I made that the game meant next to nothing as the Warriors win or lose were going to get the best record in the NBA.
So after “Tonio” wins to cut the Warriors’ lead to a still safe 3 games, the Charlotte Hornets come from the proverbial dead and hand the Spurs their 11th loss two days ago.
Meanwhile the Warriors had a no cover, struggle win vs the Minnesota Timberwolves, to raise their record to (63-7), a truly impressive and nice looking .900 win percentage.
The Spurs record of (59-11) is also great but again I fear that the East winner, very likely the (50-20) Cleveland Cavaliers will have the intangibles vs whomever comes out of the far superior NBA Western Conference.
