"Golden State forward David Lee didn't have much good to say about the Spurs after watching them take apart his team earlier this week.

Lee produced a season-high 31 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but was a little miffed his team didn't show better in a 113-102 loss to the Spurs.

"They're a very frustrating team to play," Lee told the Associated Press. "I don't go out there feeling like they're a better team than us. When you play the Lakers you look at their size and say it's going to be a tough game.

"I feel like we match up well with the Spurs. I feel like they're a beatable team, especially in this building. And just the way they execute and the way they take advantage of any little mistake you make, it's like a boring way to play but it's so effective.

"There's a reason why their record is what it is."

Credit Lee for knowing the difference between substance and sizzle – even if it isn't always the most aesthetically pleasing kind of basketball."
