As the San Antonio Spurs prepare to battle against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, Manu Ginobili knows it won't be an easy task to eliminate them. With their four All-Stars leading the way, he understands it will take a herculean effort to pull off the upset against the top seeded team in their conference.
The 39-year-old Argentinian international gave the highest compliment to the Dubs as he called them one of the best teams ever. He also discussed, via Melissa Rohlin of MySanAntonio.com, how it will be possible for them to beat their opponents in the series.
Ginobili called the Warriors “one of the best teams, almost ever.”
“Last year, 71 wins, made it to The Finals. This year, 60-whatever. They are tough. They added to incredible offensive talent some good, solid defense. So, they have the whole package and we’ve all got to perform and shoot well and be solid not to turn it over and a lot of things to have a chance of winning in Golden State.”
The Warriors are coming off a 4-0 sweep against the Utah Jazz, to remain unbeaten in this year's playoffs. They are the most successful team over a three year stretch and now with Kevin Durant in their fold, they have another weapon they can use to cause matchup problems to the Spurs.
However, with the experience they have, and Gregg Popovich calling the shots from the sidelines, many believe that if there's any team that can dethrone the Warriors as Western Conference champions, it's the Spurs. It remains to be seen if their claim holds true or not, but one thing certain at this point is the second-seeded team will not go down without a fight, and could even surprise the Warriors if they stick to their gameplan on how to beat them.
