Looks like a bye now for the San Antonio Spurs and better luck next playoffs. But who knows if they can still extend the series even in front of the big Golden State Warriors. Looks like the disappearance of Gregg Popovich making them play hard and want to prove that they can still win even without the presense of their coach . This Game 5, their first assistant coach will again act as their head coach.
I must say that it is indeed a great game for the Spurs as they literally bounced back for a win. But, Given the situation warriors might be in a little pressure as the momentum is shifted to Spurs. As I see, Everyone steps up in that game especially Manu, The spurs are truly making things work out up until coach pop returns but nonetheless they are facing Warriors (Home court) which is an additional factor for the GS to seal the series. Steve Kerr will surely adjust this time.
If the Spurs will beat the warriors in game 5, then I would say that we might see a good series, but I would not expect
now because the warriors are really playing well at home and they will do everything to finish the series so they can rest and welcome curry back
in the 2nd round.
Respect to the Spurs, but with Leonards absence its very difficult to beat the Warriors. I dont have an injury update with Steph, but if the Warriors will let the Spurs win in game 5, then it would be possible that they're just prolonging the series for Steph to come back in a good shape in the 2nd round.
