Aside from San Antonio being a vastly better team than Denver, the series is taking on the same dimensions as Round One. All the W's have to do is break service on the road and hold it at home. Voila! Instant two-game advantage with three left to win just one.

The Denver series went about as I expected. The Warriors always pack their defense when they fly out of OAK. When Steph Curry goes off, they usually win. When Klay Thompson goes off, it takes the pressure off Steph. When they BOTH go off, they are practically unbeatable.

We'll see if the Spurs look like the tired old men I expect them to be tomorrow night. Roaracle Arena is a very difficult place to win a road game.

And a word for Charles Barkley: do your homework. This is no longer the Warriors of Don Nelson, Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson.
