Flashback To Warriors' Epic 25-Point Comeback vs. Spurs | 2017 Playoffs Game 1 

MrUHOH415 He’s lucky Zaza wasn’t there anymore

MrUHOH415 without Kevin Durant

Apologies for Zaza Pacheapshot, he didn't deserve to be in Golden State

Without KD or klay and steph with broken fingers

@@rufus377 2018 cp3 injured , 2015 kai and klove injured not to mention raptors were up 3-1

Naw. I would say game 6 during the 2013 finals.

@@Tjtjboy this is defintely darker. At least they bounced back the next year in 14. They still havent recovered from this.

I still put this second behind Tony Parker not fucking guarding Ray Allen in the corner in 2013 😔

could have been spurs cavs then

@@mustardeater3187 No way. Too weak for the GSW.

Matthew Owens that’s why they showed kawhis injury to refresh everybody memories 😂😂

Y'all still crying to this day? Pathetic.

Jorge Ramos nigga, don’t act stupid. y’all franchise got blessed by the hand of God himself

@raptorsfr Nobody asked for your bitch ass, you Raptors bandwagoner

El Choppa The spurs wouldn’t have won that series anyway the KD era warriors was unbeatable in a 7 game series the kawhi led raptors literally barely beat a fringe injured goldenstate team 😂😂😂😂

For better or for worse

Kawhi had already been requesting a trade.

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals yea but dude this was the icying on the cake tho. Bc part the reason leaves bc the spurs organization was saying he wasn't injured and just sitting out, and keep pressuring him to come back as the spurs weren't doing good. (Lol rent free)

By closing out?

@@marcuscarpenter7230 Watch again, you're supposed to allow space for the shooter to land. Zaza gave Kawhi basically no room to land safely.

@@Kap_NYC yes it was a unsafe close out I don’t think zaza was trying to rob bakwrball fans he was trying to close out

@@marcuscarpenter7230 Yeah, but *Zaza should KNOW better.* He's a NBA vet and he knows how to properly close out on a shot attempt

@@Kap_NYC lol vets make mistakes too lol just less of them

Here's a stat for you: the Warriors had already come back from 22 down and won against the Spurs that season - on the Spurs home court, on a back-to-back, on the last game of an 8-game road trip, WITH Kawai.

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals here’s a stat, well actually an obvious fact. No matter how much truth is said, warriors fans will cry bs from their mouths

@@AWCTB lol facts warriors fans are such babies

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals bro Kawhi was the heart & soul of this team, to put it into perspective, it would be like the Warriors missing KD/or Curry. They were already missing Tony Parker, Rudy Gay, LMA had been experiencing the beginning of his health problems during this exact playoff push. Zaza injuring Kawhi was the very topping point to all of that. Yeah maybe they don’t win the series considering the amount of guys they had injured, but they sure as hell don’t get swept or lose this game if Kawhi is there. Quit living in denial.

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals whoops my bad actually Rudy Gay went down the following year, he wasn’t on the Spurs yet atm.

Charles Yip fr

Not to mention tony parker went down as well.

Just like no 3-1 comeback if curry didnt get injured his knee in round 1, JR Smith purposely injuring bogut and lebron walking over draymond to get him mad and get him suspended so stfu

@@tim_cleezy warriors could have won the series but cavs didn't have kevin love in game 3 which is equivalent to not having draymond but they still won by 30, Kawhi battling a torn ligament worse than curry in 2016 but he still won finals mvp, whats your claim?

Weneed him we didnt have bogut he broke his knee lebron walked over purposely on draymond because he knows thAt he was close to being suspended and love literally did not do sht draymond was having a breakout finals not like love

Sounds like you wanna coverup... fuck that

BRad Stop being a bitch ass crybaby

@Deacon Durham You don't know me at all. For all I know you could be one of those Bronsexuals who's flexing with the Lakers.

@Deacon Durham Stop assuming shit when you don't know people irl

Deacon Durham This is typical behavior by a born in 2000 and above Warriors fan 😂

J Rollins Or they had superstars named Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard in their prime.

Bruce Bowen David Robinson Manu Ginobli Tony Parker

@@AuburnFanSince2010 They literally won a championship with a 38 year old Tim Duncan and a 23 year old Kawhi as their best players

Russell Westbrook Fan since 2010 where is the prime Kawhi

J Rollins 38 year old tim duncan was still good and that was the point of time where kawhi became an elite player and the rest of the supporting cast was pretty darn good too... they won lebron and the heat bro

Dylan so what about Curry’s 40 points are we gonna overlook that. Kawhi going down did open the door for them though

Dylan facts

Dylan I believe the warriors would have lost this game but still won the series. Warriors would just need to adjust to Kawhi plays and we all know that is what basketball is about adjustment change or rotation etc...

If the spurs 5 starters were healthy Gsw would of lost the series

John Markes nah, they would have lost this game but still won the series.

One game doesn't determine a series

William Scott Jr. Oh really? So why he do that?? 🤔🤔 it's a shame if they lose Becuase they are superteam plus homecourt advantage 😂😂

lmao if the spurs were gna win the series with kawhi i dont see how they dont even win a single game without him...kawhi’s their best player by far but 1 game isnt the craziest to win. plus this game 1 they shd have still won honestly lol even w/o kawhi in the second half

@@supermanrun2313 But it's too easy to win when you hurt the best player in the opponent team...

AiR LyFt Nigga it's been nearly 3 years. Stop crying.

just imagine if kawhi beat the warriors then lebron in the same playoffs

@@cynric_ 😢 *crying Spurs fan*

Everyone ignores the fact that just one minute earlier Kawhi actually injured his ankle stepping on his own teammate's foot (David Lee on bench). Popovich irresponsibly kept Leonard in the game with a weakened ankle, resulting in this secondary injury. Spurs had already choked a 22-point lead to the Warriors earlier this season on their home court.

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals The Clippers lost by 51 points to the Mavs in the regular season, yet who still won the series? Don’t compare regular season basketball to playoff basketball

TreyVo 36 stfu Bitch

No one care about your opinion. You can't change what happens so stop whining about it 3 years later

Shiroman Singh he’s not whining big guy he’s just saying that nobody should be even remotely impressed

Stop it. The Spurs would've probably taken them to at least 6 but the Warriors had too much firepower

Series? No. Game? Yes

Rydawg 26 You Kawhi stans have 0 brain activity

Jorge Ramos you’re still a scrub.

@@supermanrun2313 if the depleted spurs took warriors took 6 then thats not good for the warriors, because if kawhi was healthy cp3 would have opt out of his clippers contract and joined the spurs to destroy the warriors next year

actually he was hated even before that

still until now

Yes sir!! Indeed it did

and the NBA, defensive guys couldn't closeout like this anymore, its like warriors kept ruining basketball

KD going to the Warriors made the NBA very unwatchable, and they still didn’t 3 peat lmaoo

Nate Saintil You Bronsexuals are ridiculous with all this hate 🤦‍♂️

Exactly! After that incident Spurs have been mediocre team. Imagine that Franchise is contender every year and only missed playoffs 4 times in 40 years.

For real

@The Duke You Bronsexuals act like the Cavs didn't want KD. Just stop it.

Jorge Ramos you is a scrub.

@@jorgelujlrcn wtf is wrong with this dude? Lmao I always see him in the spurs fan comments

@@jorgelujlrcn you really are a scrub dude. Warriotard

Nah, the Warriors had already come from 22 down against the Spurs earlier that season, on the road, on a back-to-back and with Kawhi is the game. Spurs were chokers.

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinalsbro u shouldn’t be talking the warriors had 3 superstars and 5 all stars and were still getting blown out by 25 just to a one superstar kawhi spurs team warriors franchise sad asf honestly y’all some real life soft ass bitches

@@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinalsand thats the regular season Spurs are like 315 - 0 when leading 25+ in the playofffs so if Kawhi diidnt get hurt they will win this game this series was uspposed to be a 7 game series but fucking Zaza happned

As I said, the Warriors had already come from 25 behind to beat the Spurs on a back-to-back, on the road just a few weeks prior. @@dxtremecaliber

This is what happens when your team is too dependent on one player. Warriors had each of their stars out at various times in the playoffs and still managed to win.

No chance

From Celtics 2-1 Warriors to Celtics 2-4 Warriors

He didn't do it on purpose you dumbass

@@brandonbeauchamp6576 its sarcasm

Odan.fled not really the warriors had too much star power

Not really, you can't base that off 1 game

@@darkbryson3394 Still doubt it the Spurs had their number

Nearly 3 years later and you're still crying

@@jorgelujlrcn I'm a warriors fan too but I'll admit when something really happens 😂

@@checkyourself4766 spurs weren't beating an hungry warriors team one game does not determine a whole series. Dub nation don't claim you

@@simplyjay0748 atleast there not bias or delusional like Warriors fans are. Spurs matched well against the warriors and one of the best teams in the west that season. it would have been a 7 game series

you guys were getting your asses kicked, and if you guys struggled with demoralized mentality Kawhi, can you imagine what Michael Jordan would do to you guys?

@@weneedhim526 First of all, I never mentioned Michael Jordan. Secondly, I dont think the Spurs wouldve won this series, but god damn it, it wouldve been entertaining! Probably a 6, possibly 7 game series. What people dont remember is how hyped up this matchup was. In the legendary 2015-16 season, the Warriors and Spurs were both competing for the top spot till their second to last matchup. Each game was a thriller, and the Spurs are the one team who had a 67-15 record and somehow didnt get the 1st seed. The Warriors fast paced, 3 point shooting, small ball style vs. the Spurs methodical, fundamental, defensive, slower paced style. It was super entertaining seeing the two teams go back and forth for who was controlling the game. Each game felt like the playoffs. We were supposed to play the Spurs in the 2016 Playoffs. But then the Thunder beat them, and the rest is history. Now obviously, I dont regret the Spurs doing that year cuz the 2016 WCF is some of the best ever. But we were supposed to see this match the following year. And then... this happened. Now, that being said, the Warriors were having an unusually bad game. Kawhi was having a great game. You cant tell me the whole series was going to be like this. The Spurs had this game. However, the fact that they completely collapsed after Kawhi got hurt and couldn't even hold on to a massive lead they have in the middle of the third quarter or win a single game. I have a hard time believing a team that did that was actually going to win this series. If you look at how they shot in the first half, compare it to their season averages, hell, compare it to their season games against the Spurs, they had an off game that first half. The Spurs win this game, but not the series.

@@goldenstatewarriors9418 never said spurs would win, warriors are way more stacked than spurs, spurs didn't even have tony parker here either, it was mills who started...oof, no one thought spurs were good in 2017 and there was no hype, people thought warriors would win 4 or 5 because of their unbeatable title, makes me wonder what would happen if teams were built properly

@@weneedhim526 The funny thing is, everyone was talking about the Warriors being that "properly built team" and then they got Durant and the narrative completely flipped. The Spurs got 61 wins that season tho, they were good.

He did that man

@PeezyDaBeatMonster someone's mad..

PeezyDaBeatMonster You Warriors fans get mad every time we mention 2016 or 2019, like you guys didn’t dominate most of the 2010s

@@TheBlackKakashi His 2019 title was a fluke cause of injuries and dirty plays. I can play this game too.

@@tj_0824 And you Bronsexuals get mad when we mention 2007, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018

So your saying spurs will defeat cavaliers in the finals?

It would have went 6 or 7 But the warriors were too good. They probably would have beat toronto if healthy

@@rickDArula probably. Even without kd

@@rickDArula who knows? What if he turned god mode? His legacy would be great and that duel vs lebron would be stuff of legend

@@amielpatrickrayos6622 now well never know about the season finale between the LA teams

@@rickDArula if the depleted spurs took warriors took 6 then thats not good for the warriors, because if kawhi was healthy cp3 would have opt out of his clippers contract and joined the spurs to destroy the warriors next year

Mafuu You wanna talk cheating? Look at the 2016 Finals.

Cry harder

Accurate

A ring is a ring, stop crying

@@qinghe6511 tell warrior fans that when they bitch about 2016 and 2019 tell the whole story then

Ong Middleton would sweep this warriors team they suck compared to 2015 warriors bucks had it all this year

@@lllightskindude 4 rings better than no rings

lol comparing Clippers Kawhi to Spurs Kawhi is two different things because they have the better coach it means they have the better system plus better bench the Warriors are getting smoked by this 2017 Spurs team because they have no decent bigs outside of Draymond and the Spurs have a ton of them plus this is Kawhi’s best year in his career cuz he just had his MVP season if wasnt for Westbrook’s historical triple doubles he would win the award 100%

​@@dxtremecalibercorrect 💯

@@dxtremecaliber I swear 2017 spurs and 2018 rockets were the only teams that were trying to exploit warriors bad paint defense, thats how I know this series goes at minimum 6 games, rockets took them 7 when d'antoni took after coach pop

Where is the nba? it's already April

lool sure

I am a kawhi fan, they would not beat them in 5, the spurs would lose because they still didn't even have tony parker in this series either, and manu was on minute restriction, if spurs were to win, they would need all 7 games, but warriors prob win in 6 or 7

Hater

Warriors had already come from 22-down against Kayhi and the Spurs that season, playing a back-to-back, and in the Spurs home court. So the Spurs were always chokers.

Klay literally got injured in game 5 cmon... That too late in the game... You bandwagoners are idiots.... If draymond plays, they win in 2016... Yeah dumbass.. Donkey couldn't even win warriors 35 games this season .... Shut up, one ring because cavs were really injured ( not fake ass injuries, entire series absent injuries) and other two because warriors were afraid to face their daddy lebron so they literally called snake for help from the parking lot.. How pathetic 🤣🤣🤣

I still think golden state would have won the series yes kawhi was a huge problem for us but people forget it’s one game and it’s a 7 game series injuries happen but let’s not act like the Spurs didn’t play dirty before with manu and especially Bruce Bowen I think golden state would have closed out this series in 5 or 6 games

@@jakebuchsbaum3348 even as a neutral fan I can see this series not end in 5 games, warriors struggled too much in game 1 to win 4 straight, lmao, in fact they were struggling a bit in game 3, the series is 6-7 games tops, it depends on how electric kawhi is, and how consistent pop is with bullying down low, in fact even david lee got injured in game 3, and the score was close when he went out, if spurs were fully healthy with kawhi leonard and tony parker there, I am sorry, this is a clear 7 game series that might go either away
