Defeatist Body Language in the Western Conference Finals

[timvp]

I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Pop with a horrendous first half of coaching but even that isn't excuse for the players to look so defeated.

Got damn, what a nightmare.





























Believe.

[lmbebo]

agree

[Bill_Brasky]

Holy hell we couldn't have played worse. And we're only at 8......

[ElNono]

Somebody tell Tony that Cook can shoot the 3... especially when he's not double teaming anybody...

[polandprzem]

That says it all LJ


It's worse then a nightmare

[lrrr]

People, if you ever wondered why Manu gets a free pass and everyone wants to trade TP, this is it. In the biggest game of the year (last 5 years), Manu on his way to a triple double and TP with the egg.

[ca®lo]

Esp when TD was bricking those shots.

The motion of the offense is gone.

No one wants to take the damn shot.

[SA210]

Parker is being an even bigger pussy than Tim Duncan. They better nut up right now!!

[Horry Hipcheck]

I haven't the slightest idea what has kept us within 10 points. They're playing like a team of rookies down 3-0 in the first round on the road.

[benefactor]

They look like OKC took their soul while north of the border. Hard to swallow.

[polandprzem]

Spurs looks messed up.

hey do not know how to play basketball.
Nobody doing any shit towards moving ball and himself.


Manu with the ball and the rest of the team just stands.
NOT MOVING AT ALL

Manu getting double team + NOBODY MOVING TO HELP HIM

[z0sa]

Yeah its fucking sad right now, real, real sad..

[redskinfan]

He couldn't resist trotting Bonner out there to give up a quick 3 and also the 2nd quarter wholesale changes have got to stop!

[mexicanjunior]

I knew after game 4 the series was over but I didn't think the Spurs would take it up the ass like this in game 5...I thought they would at least show up and make it tough on the Thunder but this reminds me of the 2001 Spurs getting golden showered by the Lakers...not even competing...

[NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER]

24 f-ing minutes. Sack up.

[ElNono]

Somebody tell Erin Barry to text Tony ASAP...

[Mugen]

2010 Game 4 against Phoenixesque, tbh.

[Brazil]

I said that many times but we are saying this is tp's team it's bullshit. All starts and will end with Tim. When Tim is dominant, tp and the rest of the team shine, when he is slow in O and D like tonite, the whole team is in trouble.

[TDMVPDPOY]

td bricking a house
tp lame decision making
green no show
neal chuckn up stupid shots
kl passive

[TE]

Yeah. It's beyond words to describe our teams capability of showing any guts. This game is about heart, drive and passion. The season is over. :depression

[GinobiliForTres]

Please don't go out like this, Spurs....

[TD 21]

It's over . . . and the truth is, deep down I think we all knew it. A lot of us were just too stubborn and flat out didn't have the heart to admit it. But I could sense it, just based on the quotes. I think I brought this up the other day, but if I didn't, the Thunder were genuinely confident when down 0-2 and 1-2, the Spurs weren't confident at all after game four. It was clear they no longer believed.

Beyond horrible coaching. He flat out panicked and the team followed suit. 16 minutes for Ginobili, when him and Jackson are the only ones not scared? Unbelievable. What an embarrassing, pathetic performance.

[cheguevara]

:lmao what a pussy ass thread. Spurs only down by 8. Nut up bitches, I'm confident spurs got a few punches in them.

[GrandeDavid]

They look like beat down dogs, like they did against the lakers in 2001. So much for Dejuan being a Thunder killer. Really only Manu belongs on that floor.

[timvp]

:lmao what a pussy ass thread. Spurs only down by 8. Nut up bitches, I'm confident spurs got a few punches in them.

Someone isn't watching the game, tbh.

[dbreiden83080]

They just can't get stops and haved been out of rythm all game..

Worst they have played all series...

[Marco]

The team is just trying too hard, any sort of composure vanished.

[SpurinDallas]

I'm so disappointed. Let's see what the second half brings us

[timvp]

Really only Manu belongs on that floor.

Don't give Pop any ideas, tbh. That makes more sense than that abortion of an abortion of an aborted fetus of a rotation he used in the first quarter.

[therealtruth]

Pop needs to go back with his nasty speech. However it's alarming that it's come this far after game 1.

[Reck]

Seriously Duncan should just stop shooting those retarded ugly ass hell fadeaways.

They all look pretty defeated.

[Horry Hipcheck]

2 quarters to get their confidence back and take a 3-2 safety net into OKC. The way they're playing right now, they need that lead just so that when they lose Game 6, it's not an elimination game.

[cheguevara]

Lol show some backbone. Spurs coming back

[baseline bum]

Pop coached like he had a few too many 'gatorades' before the game tbh.

[ploto]

We have seen Tony this way before. When things are not going well, he disappears.

[mingus]

Parker has lost confidence in his jumper. Why?

[polandprzem]

Basically it is

[sammy]

Let's Go Spurs! Still 2 quarters to change this!

[polandprzem]

we have seen tony this way before. When things are not going well, he disappears.

and he seems not to recognize it until the end of the series

[spursparker9]

So that is how in the revealing moment...

Sorry for doubting Manu in the Jazz and Clippers series.

Sorry for thinking that Green is becoming a reliable 3pt shooter in the Jazz andClippers series.

[tim_duncan_fan]

This team has no heart and no leader.

Tim brought the weaker side of his emotionless play; passionless.

And Manu is playing like a dumbass, with his bad decisions.


Tony is being his true not-really-a-franchise-player self.


Green is intimidated.



So we is fucked.

[sammy]

Good defense Spurs, down by 3! Let's Go! One play at a time!

[ALVAREZ6]

Parker has lost confidence in his jumper. Why?

Small sample size. TP had a terrible half but he will and already is responding. He knows they can't win without him playing well. Tony and Manu need to save the night.

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. Don't let up, get layups, get fouls, find the open big. Get on wit' it now.

It's been said time and time again, but you can't build a championship team around a point guard. Your best player has to be a big or wing player.

[G-Nob]

Pop knows he screwed up. Problem is he overreacted after game four when there was no need yo make a change. Manu almost bailed him out. But this one is entirely on the skipper.
