Wo(a)rming it up

Yeah. We got a nice campfire going in this thread. Nice and toasty.

11 fuckin' points in 2 and half minutes. Their heads are already at all-star weekend.

[midnightpulp]

Only been officially bumped twice, bro. The Warriors and Cavs games.

We're just warming it up here.

[Robz4000]

Pathetic.

[midnightpulp]

Kawhi!

But Christ, what another frustrating game.

And I see Game 6 still hasn't taught Pockovich to foul when up 3 when the shot clock is off.

didn't we do that against detroit last season but lost when TD turned it over on the inbounds and jennings drove it down court for the win?

Yes, but you can't be results oriented like that. TD rarely makes retarded TOs in that situation.

[ElNono]

It's like the Clippers without Griffin situation, tbh... you can survive without Manu for a while against scrubs, and the team might even play well feeding off that adversity, but in the long run you're not a better team and you'll need him back...

Luckily we get a break now with the ASG and hopefully he'll be back soon, tbh...

[Texas_Ranger]

good game spurs....

[AFMadison]

Time to pull TP

[midnightpulp]

Hot as the Sun in here. 32 points a minute from half-time!

Will we see our 3rd official bump of the year?

[Robz4000]

Spurs looking like a second round exit the past month or so. There is no fire. Also doesn't help that Kawhi doesn't play defense anymore.

All of the above sans Kawhi.

[Arcadian]

I'm gonna venture to say that the first 24 minutes after an all-star break are not a good predictor of playoff success.

[SpursFan86]

Call me a cliff-jumper, but I'm starting to lose faith in this team.

Parker has been back to his old self since 2016 (putting up 10 ppg on a god-awful 50.2 TS%). Duncan is still a monster defensively but still looks like he's clearly regressed from last year (maybe he's coasting, but he's about to be 40 and is having issues with his knee). Manu had surgery and who knows what he'll look like when he comes back.

Just don't think this team has enough to beat GS with the big 3 playing how I think they'll play. Kawhi/Aldridge are great but they're not good enough to carry us past the Warriors. Mills/Green/Diaw have all been wildly inconsistent too.

There's still plenty of time for things to change, and 1 game on the first night back from the ASB isn't really a big deal, but I don't know. If this were another year and GS didn't look so dominant, I'd be much more confident. I think the Spurs are a great team...just not on Golden State's level.

They're not on the same level as OKC/CLE either, or even potentially the Clippers. Getting LMA and West along with Kawhi taking another step forward isn't anywhere near enough to overcome Parker being finished and the mediocre play of much of the bench.

Nah I wouldn't go that far. I still like us in a series vs. any non-GS team...well, I guess it depends on Parker.

It's just really hard to be hopeful when one of your key starters who is one of the few people capable of running the offense looks as poorly as Parker has looked in 2016.

[ElNono]

We're missing 2 of our top 4 players, it makes sense we'll struggle against decent teams, tbh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Yep. Got back within 5 and then couldn't get a damn stop to save our lives. That's some pussy shit that is going to kill us when it matters most. Couldn't score AND gave up 100 in the process.

[Budkin]

A week off and we come back even more injured and listless. No one is beating GSW anyway I guess.

3rd official bump of the season.

2-5 vs Warriors/OKC/Clippers/Toronto/CLE

2-5 vs Warriors/OKC/Clippers/Toronto/CLE

Can't read too much into any of these losses.

- OKC was the first game of the season, and was on the road in a notoriously tough place to win.

- We always underperform in Toronto.

- Warriors are killing everyone.

- In tonight's game, neither team was at full strength, and it was the 1st game after an 8 day layoff.

Now if we can't beat Toronto/OKC at home, then it might be time to start worrying.

So am I. I don't care what their point differential, net rating, simple rating system, etc. says; something just feels off with this team.

When they kept losing to elite teams in '14, I felt that, with Parker beginning his decline, it was more the lack of a true go to player for a contending team, that was the issue, more than a team wide thing. This feels more team wide.

This particular game wouldn't be alarming, if not for the fact that it was a microcosm of the way they've lost, over and over, to good teams, on the road, since '14. The offense, in these situations, particularly to start games, has been atrocious. The defense, though bound to slip some, in these situations, has been repeatedly shredded. In most of these games, they're not even close. Even the Clippers and Cavaliers games they won, they didn't play well for most of those games.

The big three not being the same as even two years ago, kills this team, because they still fall short, in terms of high end star power, in comparison to every other elite team. Not only that, but their stars games are too similar offensively to mesh and neither makes anyone better.

Worst half of the season?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It shows how poor the NBA is right now when a team like the Spurs can have such a good record on paper. I'd take any other SA team from this decade over this year's team.

[SpursIndonesia]

Damn, there's no sense of urgency & extra motivation at all, everybody just going by motion like lifeless zombies out there. :sleep

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs offense has been fools gold all season. Good defenses can and will stop it cold because there is no continuity, fluidity and ball movement to speak of. Spurs score mostly on ISO ball, kick outs and defensive breakdowns. That's a recipe for disaster against a quality defensive team.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Much better start to this half...

[urunobili]

Embarrassing display without Pop putting them on their place...

[spurraider21]

I sure as hell hope we don't run that offense down the stretch in a game vs. GS. We'll get absolutely slaughtered in crunch time.

Actually, Pop pretty much tanked the 4th quarter for some reason... Manu was killing it, only played 18 mins, and never saw another minute, while Bonner was out there with one turd after another...

Because we didn't really want to win.

Houston now has a shot at the 7 seed, which even as discombobulated as they are, can present matchup problems and also wear our bigs out dealing with Howard.

It's not even us letting them back into the game that pissed me off. It's how we played in the last 2-3 minutes. I get that we were trying to run off clock, but just handing the ball to Parker and letting him dribble for 20 seconds over and over again is embarrassing. I don't think that's on Pop.

It's a meaningless game so it doesn't really matter...I just hope that shit never happens in the playoffs. If we have a single digit lead on GS and we just let Parker dribble for the last 2 minutes of the game, we'll end up losing by double digits.

This team is the exact opposite of what they used to be down the stretch of close games, particularly on the road. They're not poised at all; they're a flustered mess, that almost always looks unsure of themselves.

They're lucky they'll have home court and the Thunder are also terrible offensively down the stretch of close games, or they probably wouldn't even make the WCF.

:lol It's the same old shit that's been going on for two years. They labor offensively, on the road, against solid or better teams.

Not playing Ginobili in the fourth was one of the dumbest things he's done in recent memory. It's as if he's just decided he's not using him or Duncan down the stretch of close games anymore, no matter the situation.

Since him and Duncan have come back from injury, he's gone away from them in these situations. Early on, I thought it was just because it made sense, given the way some of those games were going. Now, it's clearly shtick.

Maybe he's looking at who else steps up in the clutch? I mean, he threw this game away. We should've been easily up 20 midway through the 4th.... at least I hope he can see now that Bonner is completely done, in case he had any doubts.

If he intended to primarily close with them, Parker, Leonard and Aldridge, wouldn't he be trying to have that unit build chemistry in those situations?

He didn't throw shit away. He did his usual shtick bullshit, where he does random, inexplicable things. Even if you believe otherwise, what about the first 3 quarters? It was the same old shit. They can't score, on the road, against solid or better teams.

[Arcadian]

"Something just feels off"

:lol Could you be any more ambiguous? Basically that means you dont know what the fuck youre talking about. In 2014, it was "not enough star power." Now we have two top 10 players and it's "not enough team balance."

Fuck off.

They just have more talent than us. Our wing/guard rotation is utter shit offensively after Kawhi. All the Warriors have to do to stop this team is swarm LMA, let Kawhi get his 20, and it's game over, since no one else can pop off for an efficient 20 points.

Yeah, but this isn't new. All kinds of good, random teams, have carried themselves with more swagger than this one over the years. That was the impetus for this thread. I've never understood it.

As far as the offense, they're clearly going to have to get younger and become more diversified in the off season. They lack penetration, play making and especially three-point shooting.

They're not built to come back. They get down double digits against a good team, it's a wrap.

[limlsy]

^ this

Face it, folks...the Warriors are better than the Spurs...they just ARE. If we beat them, it's because they beat themselves.

Agreed. This incarnation of the Spurs are a good team no doubt, great even - but they are just outclassed against this Warriors team.
All our perceived advantages on paper - bench depth, front court superiority - just have not materialized in the games thus far, and it is unrealistic to expect things to suddenly change in the playoffs.
However, all our weaknesses - weakness in PG position, lack of consistent 3pt shooting, no 3rd proven scorer, decline of the old big 3 - have been exposed thus far.

I would comfortably take them against any of the 28 other teams in the League - but GS are superior right now.
That said, you never know... anything could happen!

[TDfan2007]

Unnecessary bump tonight. Tonight wasn't a gutless worms game, it was an undisciplined game. Spurs played hard, but they played dumb. Combine that with the fact that LMA, Timmy, and the bench COMPLETELY shit the bed tonight and there you go...loss.

[TD 21]

I'm going early on this one. Not because of the effort or potential result (they might win this game), but because it's the same old shit I've been harping on.

This team can't make open shots and especially threes against good teams. There's no explanation for it, but barring a departure from it, they have no chance to win the championship, no matter how good the defense is.

[benefactor]

Shut up, pussy.

[midnightpulp]

Have to agree with TD21. How the fuck do you hold a team to 35 first half points and can't even take a lead into the half, at fuckin' home where you're undefeated?

What's even more disturbing is we had 12 more shot attempts than the Warriors.

I mean, the Grizzlies shitty offense managed 100 against these guys. I don't get it.

[TD 21]

This offense is a disgrace. The can't open up big leads (which, once again, they should have on these assholes) or come back from big deficits against good teams because they can't make wide open shots against them.

It doesn't help matters that Leonard thinks he has to do it himself against this team and is in over his head as a straight iso guy or that Aldridge can't effectively post any of their rotation bigs.

Green's confidence is obviously completely shot and so is mine in them winning the championship. If they get through the Thunder, they're probably losing to these pricks in 5.

Well, they have a half to change my mind. Hopefully they explode in some manner, but it will probably be Curry exploding while our garbage offense continues to miss wide open shots.

Who cares how many open looks are generated when you can't convert?

I know you're trying not to be results oriented, but this trend has existed for 2 months now. Danny, Manu, Patty, etc can't hit the fuckin' ocean when wide open. Yes, I know they've had some good games, but like I've been saying, it's one good game followed by five shitty games with this group.

This should be a statement win blowout. And that's why I (and presumably TD21) are beyond frustrated.

[TD 21]

It took them all of 2 minutes to erase 28 minutes of being thoroughly outplayed. Mentally, that has to be damaging to the Spurs. This game was lost in the 1st though. The Spurs should have had a major lead.

The genius better play Ginobili major minutes the rest of the way, hope he doesn't defer to Leonard and Aldridge too much and turns back the clock.

As much as I like them, they are the main two culprits for what ails this team.

Squandering Curry and Green resting is a killer. Leonard had the last 3 minutes of the 3rd off; he should have started the fourth. Maybe Aldridge too. Depending on how it was going, they could have tried to sneak him another minute going into/out of a TV timeout.

As DPG said in another thread, the looks are there. Green and Mills just can't hit shit. And Parker has regressed...again. It's LMA and Kawhi against the world, basically.

[maverick1948]

Dang funny this team wins 69 of 84 games and this entire board says they can't win. It appears that somewhere along the line they have learn how to win in adverse conditions. Tonight is adverse conditions. This is the roughest game I have seen this season. Most physical from anyone. This is the only way Memphis can stay in the game. Refs are looking to move on. I have a feeling 2nd half will be a lot different.

[Mnky]

The spurs run a very fast motion offense. They post up every one in awhile from whence the poster is looking to pass it out of a double more than to shoot. Our issue is the shooters have all gone cold and lost their confidence.

We constantly posted up Duncan and Diaw when we won with the beautiful game.

It's weird how everyone forgets that. Diaw almost was the MVP.

I've seen some good things, but everything on offense looks choppy. Maybe it's the pace of this series. Maybe it's the offense still struggling to hit good looks at a normal clip like they were the first half of the season. I don't know.

I just know that it's hard to tell vs this level of opponent. Luckily, the defensive effort is there, the 3ball is falling more & guys seem engaged. We will see how they do vs a great opponent like OKC.

:lol this crying ass thread with a whiney ass faggot OP who likes cock more than he likes breathing

Memphis played like a team fighting off elimination and still lost comfortably.

On to the closeout.

It's not just that tbh. The team in general is just not in sync; too many stationary players on offense, little ball movement, poor shooting across the board outside Kawhi and LMA, and that's just on offense. Defensively, despite how elite they've looked on that end, has had issues with a lack of communication and confusion on where to be. If this were just an issue over the past week or two I'd chalk it up to coasting, but it's been a well-documented problem for nearly two months now.

[DPG21920]

Well, that's exactly what the Spurs did. They broke open a close game down the stretch and won against a tough defensive effort by Memphis.

Memphis giving a good effort doesn't change the fact they are not a good defense. They aren't. They are average to below average in every way measurable.

They play hard. That's commendable. Spurs did a fantastic job of not turning it over which is how MEM stays a mediocre defensive team vs an awful one. Spurs hit 3's. Spurs kept the FTA's close. It was still a very close game almost all the way vs a very, very bad opponent.

Again, I'm thinking too much and should just enjoy it for what it is.

[benefactor]

Seriously though...this thread should have died a 5 redemption tbh. Bumping it is just stupid. 2011 is a lifetime ago.

[MaNu4Tres]

Parker showing up once very 10 games isn't going to help this team get past the 2nd round.

[Harry Callahan]

18 to 1 second chance points kept this from being a 30 point beat down. Memphis hit an inordinate (for them) number of threes. Memphis was playing at their maximum efficiency and effort and still ran out of gas.

Plus the refs were blowing a lot of whistles against the Spurs last night.

The opponent in the next round (OKC) is not nearly as disciplined and not nearly as well coached as Memphis. The Spurs will get clean looks against OKC a lot more often.

Official non-tongue-in-cheek bump.

The same stupid problems haven't went away, and it's more than obvious that game 1 was a Powerball winning fluke. Yet another 1st quarter slow start. Danny D-League Green still can't put two good games together in a row, Parker has turned into "Porker," and Kawhi looks less than dominant. At least Manu is showing some nut. And of course, "Praise be to thy LMA."

Inb4 cliff jumping.

Game is still winnable, since the Thunder are notoriously awful in the 4th. I still think this is a great team, one of the best Spurs teams ever, but like always, I'm looking at the big picture. The Spurs scrapping out a win tonight (if it happens) doesn't just magically erase my concerns. If Danny could just shoot a consistent 38% from 3 every game, this is a different team. These 1-8 type of games just kill us. Porker being an offensive non-factor also kills us. We need consistent backcourt scoring in a bad, bad way.

[spurraider21]

Feel like the Spurs are way too lucky to be 14-4. Could easily be 9-9 or worse.

[cjw]

Feel like the Spurs are way too lucky to be 14-4. Could easily be 9-9 or worse.

Most weird home/road splits I've ever seen.

10-0 on road with average margin of victory of 10.1 points. Remove the GS game and it's still 8.0 points. 3/10 have been by double figures, with the other 7 by at least 5 points.

Home they've been outscored by 17 points this season. Only one of the four wins by more than 10, and three of four losses by 12 or more.


Don't think I agree with the 9-9 or worse statement though. Seven surefire wins out of 18 games, four less comfortable wins that never were within a possession (say they take 67% of those), four "coin flip" games (50%) and three surefire losses. You probability-weight those and they're between 11-7 and 12-6. That's not "easily 9-9 or worse".

Of their wins:
- Home: DET, NO and MIA were wins (3 - Miami made run at end of game)
- Road: GS, UTA, SAC, WAS (4 - second Kings game got closer down stretch than it was)

Wins that were close but never within a single possession down stretch:
- Home: None
- Road: MIA, HOU, SAC, LAL (4 - first Kings game was close but never within a possession down stretch)

Close "coin flip" games:
- Home: DAL win (1 - Curry had game tying three attempt) and HOU loss (1)
- Road: CHA and BOS (2)

Losses:
- Home: LAC, UTA, ORL (3)
- Road: None

Spurs are such a nice bunch of guys. They'll do anything to make the Bulls looks good in front of their fans, including giving back the ball when they steal it, and missing shots like they can't see the basket so the Bulls have a chance to build a lead.
