What are you doing to get over the sweep?

[Kori Ellis]

We are living in the past and watching the Spurs Championship CDs today. :downspin:

[DBMethos]

I've been reading posts over in the Think Tank...the draft can't come soon enough!

[Spurminator]

I usually have to take my mind off basketball for a couple of months. Fortunately there's good TV on in May.

[rayray2k8]

Think tank and celebrating on passing my exams. :toast

[ElNono]

I'm working... I'm not a rich biatch like y'all... :lol

[timvp]

I really wanted that Game 5. Getting swept is too sudden.

:depressed

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Taunting the Mavs fans in my life.

[boutons_deux]

I thought I was ready for Tim's and the Spurs end of their run at the top, but the Dallas series got my hopes up. Was believin' again.

Now, more often than not, the Spurs break my heart.

I expect nothing from the draft, and I expect Pop, who spoiled himself with so many good years, will get tired of mediocrity and retire.

Tim ain't gonna go Kareem for us 'til he's 40+. That leg is gonna shut him down.

[spursfaninla]

swept is pretty embarrassing. It was a roller-coaster getting the upset in round 1 and then getting pretty much owned in round 2.

exams and then the bar. wee.

[MateoNeygro]

I'm first going to try and get through the grieving process. I feel like I've lost my best friend or been punched in the gut, although I knew it was coming it's still hard to swallow. Then I'll go back to my daily grind on this god awful piece of steel I call home for 6 months. FTL!!

[Whisky Dog]

Rationalizations. Picture them in their 5 million $$ mansions not giving a shit if my job is going well, saying I shouldnt give a shit about theirs. That will last til Sept when NFL starts.

[carina_gino20]

I still have something important to clinch tomorrow so I'm trying not to think too much about the loss. But after that, I'm going to wallow and write a long blog about the series/season just for catharsis.

Sad how we go from so much potential from training camp (I've been watching those vids lately) to being swept by the Suns.

Oh well, I'm also looking forward to Roland Garros and Wimbledon. :lol

[beachwood]

I kind of accepted the fact that our season would end after game 3 and I was pretty upset afterward. Last night's loss wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... last night.

Now, the reality is hitting me that the Spurs are out. Feels like the rug has been pulled from under me.

Visiting the Think Tank is oddly comforting.

[Brazil]

I've been reading posts over in the Think Tank...the draft can't come soon enough!

this

and I can't wait to see what the spurs will do with Ian. I know it is not that important but the Ian management has been a mistery for me so I want to know.

[Cane]

Been thinking of a team to root for in the playoffs. I love the Spurs but I love the NBA playoffs more.

[celldweller]

SmOkInG wEed! :hat

[polandprzem]

Other then that I'm doing normal stuff, now have to take shower and shave. watch some tv and go to sleep. I've got a tough week ahead of me and I need to take as much sleep as I can. I'm pretty tired physically.
I'm bit depressed but spurs is not the only reason.

And maybe on Thursday I will make the last polands perspective volume ... maybe not ... does not matter much I guess
Pretty important to me though in pushing myself to make my mind going for motivation I'm lacking now.

[SenorSpur]

Turning my attention to the upcoming NBA Draft. Reading all the 2010 Mock drafts and pouring over the top 5 SFs.

Beats sweeping, I guess :lol

[manubili]

Like many argentinians, I'm turning into the upcoming Soccer Championship. Messi is my second favourite sportman (after Manu) and I hope he does better this year. Not so much into de Bball WC: no manu, no chance.

[silverblackfan]

Bummed and trying to figure out other news to monitor until draft night.
This round went so fast, it is still sinking in that we are out of the race.

[honestfool84]

[benefactor]

I'm headed to work and will come home and spend time with my daughter. I won't even think about it unless someone at work mentions it.

[DAF86]

Turn my attention to football (soccer).

[honestfool84]

already over it


true.. i am a bit over it already, too.

this was an easy loss to swallow, considering we weren't going to get past the Lakers.

i'd rather lose to the Suns than the Lakers.

[Dice]

I can't settle down until I know whether or not McDyess will retire. Had the Spurs gone deeper into the playoffs I would think his returning next season would be a garuntee. But because of this showing against the Suns, I can see him deciding he's never going to get a ring and move on. He's not playing for the money anymore. And when he's done, my interest in the NBA is going to significantly decrease.

To think that this game 4 might have been his last makes me feeel a little sick.

If, he decides to stay then I'm really looking forward to next season and hoping there are measures taken to strengthen the team. I feel like McDyess will have a better regular season showing now that he's getting more comfortable with the system. I'd be happy with him starting but hope the team has improved it's roster enough that he can be the first big off the bench.

[mrsmaalox]

I'll be taking some time off from the NBA. I've turned off the basketball related newsfeeds on Facebook, and I'll just be concentrating on my teenage son's club teams for now :toast

[JudynTX]

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

I'm over it already. :toast

[GrandeDavid]

The moment the game ended I honestly put it behind me. I'll think about the Spurs I guess sporadically when news pops up, otherwise I'm too busy to concern myself until next season tips off! Having a wonderful wife and precious nine month old daughter, work and ministry take up just about all of my time anyway. Too bad the Spurs couldn't get it together against Phoenix, but its just sports, life goes on. :)

[Allanon]

I was rather surprised by the sweep, wuz hoping for a Spurs/Lakers WCF.

[lefty]

already over it
Already over it as well

Actually, while watching game 2, I knew it was over.

Spurs looked like they already ran out of gas.

Plus, losing to Nash is not that bad.

[birdy219]

I will be moping for a few days. :depressed Then, I will watch my old vids of all the great victories and feel a little better.:wakeup When the playoffs are over, then I will be over it. I tend to take the playoff eliminations hard, but it is not as bad as say 2004.:whine I'm still not fully over it. :lol Oh well till next season :flag:

[lefty]

The elimination is somewhat a relief :lol

Rooting for the Spurs for the last 3 seasons has been very stressful : the injuries, the offensive droughts, Timmy missing FT's, the D gradually getting bad, Pop's retarded rotations...

[baseline bum]

Still in shock that the Spurs could lose to the fucking Suns in 4 straight. I thought the team had at least a competitive series in them after seeing them handle Dallas, but it's pretty clear Dallas wasn't the team we thought they were.

[rAm]

I am going to masturbate while I cry for the entire summer.

What's all this bobbins about sweeping? I know thou people across the pond hae a bunch of fecking traditions, taking care of y'r laughing gear, bathing and such (I always get a stonking laugh envisioning such a thingamijig ), but I was unaware of the housecleaning tradition.

Anyroad, I've put the Game 4 loss behind me and I'm ready for they lads to lace em up and try again for Game 5. I keep telling thou this, but the Spurs are going to be all right. They've got the jomblies coach in the NBA and they've got 4 rings with him at the helm, tossers!

Hae a little faith and enjoy the ride! I'm orf to the boozer to toss back some ale and get ready for the game.

toodle pip!

[celldweller]

Ecstatic to the fact that we will never see Mason, Bogans and maybe Bonner in a Spurs uniform, and if the Stars align properly maybe...........Jefferson? Also sad that perhaps (possibly) will never see the Big three play together anymore.

[Horry For 3!]

I am working

[Bukefal]

Studying a lot, following the draft and the rest of the playoffs, watching international bb games this summer and of course the worldcup football.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I'm good. I've been watching the Astros since opening day so I'm used to seeing my teams get swept.

[florige]

While getting swept does suck, the complete can of whupass they unleased on us makes it easier to swallow. I was MUCH more devastated after that game 7 loss to Dallas in 06. I remember just sitting there for like 10 minutes after the game just staring at the television in utter disbelief. That series was alot more competitive. This was domination.

[spurs10]

We are living in the past and watching the Spurs Championship CDs today. :downspin:
I need to have these. Where can I find them? NBA.com or spurs.com? I'm listening to some great music to kill the pain, in answer to your question. I'm sure a stiff drink wouldn't hurt. Many thanks, once again, for Spurstalk!

[Rebounds]

I'm wondering how I'm going to set up my Spurs mementos area.
Recording equipment goes right alongside it with musical
instruments plugged in.
Then I'll use the angst from this last post season run
as my motivation to compose songs while looking at all
the Silver and Black's accomplishments.
Dvd's will be stacked neatly in disc folders.
Summer will be really, really long.

Watching the entire series of "Life." Good show.

[George Gervin's Afro]

I am extremely greatful that we have won 4 f*cking championships.... If you would have told me in 1997 that by the time TD retired we would have four banners I would have jumped on it twice over... How lucky have we been? That is what gets me by during times like these... remembering how lucky I am to be a fan of the San Antonio Spurs..

[Borosai]

I'm over it. Off to the Draft and beyond.

[The ADMIRAL 50]

well i do have finals to worry about, but in reality im just gonna be smoking a lot of weed, playing a lot of pick up ball here @ UT, and looking ahead to the future (trade rj? more spurs draft magic?)

[Baseline]

1. Can't comprehend that we lost two straight must-win games at home
2. Can't comprehend that we didn't punish the Suns' thin frontline
3. Can't comprehend that we got outphysicalled by the Phoenix Suns
3. Can't comprehend that Popovich couldn't figure out a way to cover the three-point line.
4. Can't comprehend that Popovich couldn't figure out a way to slow down a simple pick and roll.
5. Can't comprehend that we made the Suns look like the greatest team ever assembled.
6. I blame Popovich, who has won four rings for one reason: Tim Duncan
7. The Spurs are a better team with more talent than the Suns. That means that if Phoenix wins, maybe they do so 4-3 because they have home court. But not 4-0. The Suns swept us, and that's due to horrible coaching. No other way to slice it.
7. Now I'm 1000% about pulling for the Lakers to lose. I live in LA, and cannot stand the thought of those homos winning another title.
8. I'd rather LeBron win it this year, because it will help squlech all the K. Bryant talk. Then again, anybody but the Lakers is fine with me.
9. Tim Duncan has four rings, and he cannot get passed up by Bryant, who was a 2nd banana for three of those. If Shaquille gets his fith ring, I'm okay with that, because Shaquille was absolutely dominant in his prime.
10. The French Open, the World Cup, and the NFL season cannot get here fast enough.
11. I could've written five screenplays in the time I wasted this NBA season, so that's what I'll get back into the get over this disappointment.
12. And I'll pray every single day that Popovich retires. I'm so sick and tired of his "I'm a genius" routine. He's the luckiest coach in the history of professional sports. Tim Duncan is the hero of San antonio, not freaking Gregg Popovich.

[benefactor]

Actually, while watching game 2, I knew it was over.


This. After all that had happened this season I had pretty low expectations for the playoffs anyway. I knew that as long as the Spurs had a healthy Manu there was a slight chance of them making some noise, but I was prepared to smile at the good and just shrug my shoulders at the bad(except for the debacle that will henceforth be know as "Game 3 - The Dragic Affair").

[DPG21920]

Thank goodness the world cup is coming up. I hate when the Spur get knocked out. Nothing gives me comfort. But at least there is great conversation and tons of bs rumors to keep us busy all summer.

[samikeyp]

Job hunting and counting down until NFL training camp. :)

[Manufan909]

Been thinking of a team to root for in the playoffs. I love the Spurs but I love the NBA playoffs more.

I can actually root for this Suns team. I like Goran, Nash, and Stoudamiare. Nash really deserves a trophy, I hope he can break Bynums ankles like he was breaking Tim's and Blair's. Oh, and the Magic. They remind me of the Spurs, the version that was deadly from 3 and had a monster big man. Also, a 3pt shooting big who is 10x the players Bonner is. God I hope the Lakers/Celtics/Cavs don't win it all.


Turning my attention to the upcoming NBA Draft. Reading all the 2010 Mock drafts and pouring over the top 5 SFs.

Link? That actually sounds interesting.

[eyeh8u]

jumping bandwagons to the suns, then when they lose to the lakers, the magic :)

[mytespurs]

I was okay about the sweep last night but after listening to a few sports podcasts, I'm a tad depressed:( but I'll get over it by the end of the week.):king life is too short to be sad and there's always next year........

I'm going to chill out.....wait for NFL to start (can't come soon enough) and maybe tune into the nba championship depending on the participants.....look forward to the NBA off season drama (where will all the free agents land, who will coach the clippers, can blake griffin get healthy, what will the spurs do to get better)

[DubMcDub]

1. I will start by scarfing posters who are stereotypical little bitches.


How many 'screenplays' did you write this season? (since you could have written 5 if you didn't watch basketball) Zero?

:lol

Guy's probably a waiter at a Macaroni Grill in LA.

[daslicer]

Honestly I wasn't depressed about last nights loss. I really didn't believe our frontline matched up well with the Lakers so even winning the series I felt would have been all for not. Part me was relieved that I wouldn't have to see Bonner guarding Gasol or George Hill guarding Bynum in the paint. I was depressed in '08 for a week because I felt that was the last chance for the spurs to repeat. In '09 I was pissed off for few a days because I really despise the mavs. This year its different I don't hate the suns its really hard to considering the spurs have beaten them too many times along with robbing Nash of his prime years that it makes it difficult to really hate on them. Hell I don't even hate their fans considering they have suffered for so long that their gloating doesn't bother me I probably would be the same way if I was in their situation.

I have a simple phrase I apply to my life which is you can't lose all the time and this year that applied to the suns. As of right now I still watch the playoffs whats going on the east is very exciting the ECF will be great. I will also flip the channels back a forth to see if the Suns can beat the lakers if they are winning I'll watch but if they are losing I will probably watch a rerun of Seindfield.

[peskypesky]

I am extremely greatful that we have won 4 f*cking championships.... If you would have told me in 1997 that by the time TD retired we would have four banners I would have jumped on it twice over... How lucky have we been? That is what gets me by during times like these... remembering how lucky I am to be a fan of the San Antonio Spurs..

me too. feeling very good about the 4 Championships. accepting the fact that every dog has his day and every champ eventually declines. whether its MJ or Shaq or Duncan or Hakeem. I would be very bummed if they'd never gotten one championship with Duncan. 4 is cake.

[pjjrfan]

Drinking, Tequila.

[peskypesky]

This year its different I don't hate the suns its really hard to considering the spurs have beaten them too many times along with robbing Nash of his prime years that it makes it difficult to really hate on them. Hell I don't even hate their fans considering they have suffered for so long that their gloating doesn't bother me I probably would be the same way if I was in their situation.

i agree 1000%

[kromediablo]

reading alot of stsa...and hoping the spurs dont draft gordon hayward.

[poop]

. Picture them in their 5 million $$ mansions not giving a shit if my job is going well, saying I shouldnt give a shit about theirs.

haha

[kobyz]

this was the saddest elimination from all in the Duncan era because this series show how we not anymore what we have been in the past, this series show that Duncan is near the end, and it's sad to see team that we were dominate sweep us with us helpless.
this wasn't at all the hardest or painful elimination, we had much more but this was the saddest!

[blkroadrunners]

GMAT studying, work, and internet

[Ignignokt]

:flag:

[kromediablo]

i am not content and when the fans become content...there is no pressure on management to spend money and look for talent every year. This is exactly why the spurs are out of the playoffs...Manu getting his extension was pressure on management to keep manu....remember "no Manu no Renew". The lakers are in it every year because the fans boooo if the team sucks....so they go out every year to get the best.

[spurs10]

Again, where can you buy DVD's of the championship runs?

[team-work]

Trying not to think about it too much.

But wait...this is not a good coping skill. So I try to think about how fortunate we are to have a great team with 4 championship to root for, and lucky I am to live in a peaceful place, where I have work and raise a family, and still get time to surf the internet and make acquaintance in this wonderful forum.

[Xevious]

Not a whole lot. I haven't watched the playoffs as much as I usually do (even the Spurs), it's been a very busy time for me.

But this time of year is always bittersweet for me. Of course I want to see them win it all, but at the same time I can stop stressing over it.

[Slippy]

Tried to stay away from anything to do with basketball and the NBA. Kept busy with work, house-work and my baby son. When on the comp how-ever i keep coming back to this site so obviously it's not working .

[timtonymanu]

Well, for one, I took my cheap print out of the big 3 + RJ off the wall.

Right now I'm focusing on getting my first year of college done and thank god I'm doing well. Otherwise my luck would suck. Enjoying my last summer in my hometown before I move to Portland in the fall.

I'm gonna go on Spurstalk less unless if there's awesome news.

I'm gonna watch the Spurs 99, 03, 05, 07 dvds and appreciate the role players this team had and how I'm better off as a Spurs fan that fans of other teams.

I'm gonna watch the rest of the playoffs and root for anyone except Lakers and Cavs. I may vomit watching the Celtics however because of Michael Finley coattailing them.

Start watching some Splitter highlights so I can be as excited as everyone when he signs here or as infuriated as everyone when he teases the Spurs.

It's gonna be different watching highlights of spurs beating the suns because I truly know the Suns are our new Mavericks now but much more classier.

Man I wish I could have the days from June 23 (the RJ trade) to the start of the regular season back and not rush through it for a disappointing season.

I cant believe it's the offseason again. I was hoping that I would feel better about this offseason compared to the 09 offseason because the first round exit to the Mavs made the front office be aggressive. Now I dont think they can pull off any great moves other than bring in Splitter so I expect the same group to be here next year except Mason.

[mingus]

i don't mean to sound like a prick or anything, but basektball isn't anything you should have to "get over." the Spurs lost. it doesn't change my life one bit. i'll keep watching the NBA and chearing for the Suns.

[Gervin44Silas13]

On May 31, I will watch my Memorial Day Miracle Game on DVD as I do every year, and Watch a few of my old games.

Sweeps don't bother me....because one My Cubs suck especially in the playoffs....two....I have seen the Spurs lose alot back in the arena dayz....

....so if you guys want to jump off the cliff be my guest.....

[siraulo23]

Well, the sweep was a surprise and a little disappointing, but I really got over it so fast

Thank god I couldnt watch the final game, it would be a different story otherwise

Anyway I got 4 wins against the Mavs this year already scheduled to be watched quite a few times until I get really busy

[bdictjames]

The Suns were simply a better team. No use getting depressed in that. I was happy though, that in the final moments, there was no crowd jeering or booing our Spurs. They were cheering for the very end. The class of our team and the fans is at top of the NBA.

As for the offseason, I do what I always do. College, basketball, etc..

[Muser]

Waiting for the World Cup


Yep, I can't wait.

[ambchang]

Work, and try my best to come back here and remind myself of the pain.

But it's so hard not to visit Spurstalk as my daily ritual.

[NFGIII]

Already over it. Initially I felt that this team would get past the Suns but after each half I started getting that sinking feeling in my gut that they just didn't have it. It was the realization that this year we didn't have the bench needed to go deep.

So I will anticipate the upcoming draft as well as the WC.

Life will go on.

[carina_gino20]

I'll be writing about the Spurs season now to exorcise all the demons from this season. Oddly enough, it hasn't hit me bad yet. Maybe because there are other more important things in my life right now than feeling sad for millionaires who lost four straight ball games.

But I'm sure, at odd moments, I'll remember the sweep and fill a little pissed. Like maybe when the Lakers and Cavs meet in the Finals. :pctoss

[SenorSpur]

Laughing at the Mavs.

That too...how could I forget?:lol

Quite simply I am just looking forward to the offseason and ignoring the NBA playoffs.
