After three consecutive losses, the pressure on the Warriors is rising as they are hoping to stay in striking distance of the eight playoff berth in the West. Thus, Monta Ellis and the Golden State Warriors will play the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday at 1:30 a.m. GMT.
Albeit the Spurs’ front-office was confident to make a step forward in 2010-11, barely anyone thought that Tim Duncan and company would be able to dominate the Western Conference the way they did so far. More specifically, San Antonio posted a 17-3 record and leads the entire league after six weeks of action. Unlike in past years, the Spurs showcased extremely efficient up-tempo basketball, led by speedy guards Tony Parker and George Hill. Similarly, Argentine All-Star Manu Ginobili has been playing MVP-level basketball, averaging 20.6 points, 5.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 in only 32 minutes per contest. Therefore, the Spurs can be considered favorites to secure their eighteenth win of the season when they meet the Warriors on Thursday.
