Huh?  I'm not saying the Warriors are going to beat the Spurs in the playoffs.  And as a disclaimer I watch or listen to part or all of almost every Warriors game and have for many years.  I'll strengthen your argument before anything else:

-The W's were down 22 at the start of the forth (having been down more)
-The last time the W's beat the Spurs in San Antonio was Valentines Day `97

"...but I think the Spurs team-concept play will win out in the end."

That's the "huh?"  If you are basing your statement on minutes...ok.  If you are basing your statement on the W's not being able to win in San Antonio...ok.  But "team-concept"...that's completely inaccurate.  The W's are #1 in Team DEF  and #2 in Team OFF  (.4 behind the Clippers).  San Antonio is #7 and #3 respectively.  The W's are #1 in eFG%, TS%, and #2 in AST/TO ratio.  The Spurs are also in the top 8 or so of each of these categories.

Point is: there are myriad reasons the Spurs could beat the W's in the Playoffs (experience alone is a huge factor), but "team-concept" is not an advantage the Spurs have over W's.
