That Loss was a Blessing in Disguise

[DMC]

It really really was. I feel from my heart of hearts that we learned a lot tonight. We will come back re-energized and refocused (not hyphenated) and with a sense of urgency.

God works in mysterious ways.

Trying to pretend the last one wasn't sarcastic.

Well played.

Last what?

100% agree. I'd rather lose now and fix some things before it's to late.

Imagine riding a 12 game playoff win streak, 3 series sweeps into the finals and then blowing game 1 at home, not cool.

This gives the players, and the coach of the year, to adjust and show their mettle. You learn more from a loss then you do a 20 win streak. The 2012 playoffs have officially begun for us.

If God has anything to do with this series, he's even more mysterious (and lame) than I could have imagined.

Even God doesn't follow the Spurs.

I know I just wanted to be greedy and wanted 16-0. Well, almost...now it's time to focus on winning the NBA Championship!

So foe foe fi foe?

dumb.

I could have swarn I read this post from somewhere...

[ViceCity86]

I rather lose in a blowout than a close one like the Celtics in game 2.That shit hurts.We possibly can't be blown out again.NO WAY.We won 20 in a row.

[racm]

Before the Spurs lost Game 3 the last time they lost was also a blowout. Another defensive ace played out of his mind on the offensive end there too.

[mudyez]

after last night, I'm even surer that we will go all the way!

we will be fine!

[G-Dawgg]

There's no way we could have gone undefeated through the playoffs.. thats an unreal expectation for this team. The Spurs will use this loss as motivation to be sharp for the rest of the series. Popovich will bounce back and make some adjustments,and the players will be more focused... no need to panic, this Spurs team is honestly way too good for the Thunder.

God is a football fan this wasn't his doing.

We haven't tasted our own blood yet, sure we've been punched in the mouth a few time but no blood was drawn. Last night it was and the Spurs will be back in form tomorrow.

[tlongII]

:lmao

[hater]

at least the spurs showed class

[Jimcs50]

That was not a blessing in disguise...no loss is a blessing.


This is a blessing in disguise:

i mean i doubt they could have been that unfocused, but i'm sure pop will be hard on their asses. all this talk about the streak must have gotten to them. i know in interviews they gave all the right answers, but i think a lot of the success went to their heads. remember, we were on an 11 winstreak before sitting our starters at utah. team probably thought "we're the hottest team in the league, our big 3 is rested, we can take anybody" and then bynum ripped them with his great game.

its equally possible that with our 20 win streak, playoff undefeated-ness, and the fact that we never trailed game 2, the boys might have been a bit laid back and overconfident. a reality check is a good thing, especially when we had a 2-0 cushion. before you all hit the panic button, realize how good this spurs team has responded after losses, and that we can take game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 lead. the sky is NOT falling

Blessings abound it seems.

Little did they know that the Thunderrefs were cooking up the most rigged series since Sactown vs LA :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

As was Romo and Dez being out most of last season. Even though we probably could have had all of Elliott, Smith, Collins and Tapper drafting in the middle of each round.
