One of the most boring Spurs seasons ever, first time I've watched most of the games in condensed version..

do u echo these sentiments? playblair personally hasnt missed a spurs game in over 14 years even through the spurs defensive years even when blair left but last spurs season with aldridge ball was a boringI only ever watch the Spurs. But my interest has really waned since Timmy retired. Last season I missed quite a few games. I will likely miss more this season.

It's more just that the team was mind-numblingly terrible on offense, which says alot about the league right now considering they made the playoffs.
it was only fun watching to see if murray is going to have a good game or if manu is gonna have a throwback performance
anderson, green, gasol, patty, forbes, parker, joff, gay were all incredibly boring to watch.
but i still watched... because spurs.
though not quite as often as previous years. watching kawhi was always a treat
I only enjoyed Murray, tbh... LMA ball and the old guys were painful to watch
You actually watched for Murray? Why? his game is hideous.
there was a level of excitement to his game, and he's one of the few prospects we have with any degree of upside.
Team was close to unwatchable without Kawhi.
Tbh. Sucks he'll be gone soon.
Nah. Kawhi watch 2017-2018 was a roller coaster (albeit with a horrible finish), the start of the season was good with a small, small win streak, our run of wins close to the end of the regular season, biting my nails if they would make the playoff/get to 50 wins. Disappointing a lot of the time (and at the end)? Sure...but that doesn't = boring in my book.
i watched more games earlier last year to see how the guys were going to play without kawhad
Signing LMA was the beginning of the unraveling of the Spurs.
Great player, but tough to watch..
Hes a great shooter, with nothing else to offer
Last year was terrible from an entertainment standpoint, I still watched most of the games but that's because I'm a masochist. Didn't the Spurs blow like 20 4th quarter leads?
Good skill set, especially that patented 18-foot turnaround fade-away, but not a great player imo. Ball stopper and terrible passer. But no locker room presence when the Spurs needed an infusion of true leadership (not culture) as much as proficiency on the court. Despite their drumbeat, "it's Kawhi's team now..." PATFO had to know that he was never going to be the face of the franchise/team leader to carry that torch. And Touches was clearly never going to either. Bad for chemistry when your two best players are both essentially followers.
LMA wasn't the beginning of the end. After our 2014 run (which involved some luck - elite role players playing above their abilities) TD was near the end, Splitter couldn't stay on the court, Diaw was past it, Manu was old, TP had fallen off a cliff & SA was a destination no good free agent had ever signed. He played well for most of the 2016 playoffs & had a career year on both ends last year, but it's not going to get it done. If we get a forward prospect or 2 for Kawhi & or draft picks, I really like how we'll be positioned in 3 seasons, given the last 3 guards we've drafted & the Warriors barring some sort of catastrophic turn of events are winning the next 2, probably 3 championships.
He was already gone season...
Yep, boring as .
Missed more games than I have forever and I didn't really mind
Yeah I didn't give a especially since Kawhi wasn't playing. Would watch for Manu but lost interest after all this Kawhi drama
Frustrating more than boring.
Watching them blow so many 4th quarter leads on the road without a closer was the toughest thing to watch.
The games themselves were often boring, but that's because the team was worse. Shocking idea - winning is more fun.
Following the season was entertaining, though, because we almost missed the playoffs, and it was a tight race to the very end, so every game counted and had playoff implications.
I like Aldridge because I appreciate his old school post game. It's unique in this era, and unique is interesting. Common is boring. (I mean, he's not even that old school - with his shooting range, he would've actually been considered a new-wave 4 in the previous decade...)
Agreed with pretty much everyone here, i probably only watched like 50 or so regular season games, where in past seasons i would never miss a spurs game
Extremely boring season
It's not just that winning less frequently was boring, it was also lack of direction for where this franchise or this league will go. Every win or loss was meaningless and the Warriors were always going to win in the end.
