There plenty of stories and angles that you can take for the upcoming series and each one is going to be interesting. Here the take of the best website for online betting sports for you.

Youth and Experience

The Warriors and Spurs are two contrasting teams when it comes to youth and experience. The Warriors are a young team from the coach down to the players. Mark Jackson is new to the coaching gig and the key players of the Warriors are also quite young, starting with Curry who is only 25 years old. As a coach, Jackson lacks playoff experience which can be huge downfall when the going gets tough and they need to make quick and effective adjustments on the fly. Also, when you’re playing against the Spurs, it’s pretty sure that the going will get tough.

The players of the Warriors still lack the experience to let them maintain composure in tight games. As talented as the team might be, the likes of Curry and Klay Thompson are still going to struggle maintaining their poise when they play a team that blitzes them with traps and full-court press. The only player on the team that is sure to play calmly and solidly is Andrew Bogut who’s been a key player in the playoffs in one of his years in the Milwaukee Bucks team.

Onto the Spurs, the team is making full use of their experience. The precision that the team displays on the offensive end is a result of players having played together for a long time and trusting each other that everyone knows their roles and knows where they have to be. That is why if you watch the team running a play, you’re going to see crisp passes without much of hesitation.

With that, the team is able to avoid turnovers and transition opportunities for opposing teams. The only way to beat the San Antonio Spurs is to be better than them offensively. However, their defense isn’t going to make it easy.

The Spurs might not be the lockdown defender it was once. Still, the key wing defenders of the team can sure reduce the efficiency of the opponents’ offense and allow their own great offense to give them a good chance of winning.
