Anyone else hoping we lose to OKC?

Losing to a Westbrook-less okc team on our own floor would definitely force the fo's hand to make the critical trade this team needs...

I don't care if I'm right. I just can't see how this team as constructed can beat contenders without having to resort to luck or injuries. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong though...i just don't see it happening

Yes because teams are just dying to give up All stars for the likes of De Colo, Baynes, and Bonner. Fucking idiots.

Yeah because that's the only option right? There's no such thing as trading picks or god forbid one of the big three? Yes I know it's hard to conceive but you can trade our better players too

One of the big three? thats impossible, this team can only make adjustments on what they have right now
I dont want this team to lose, they need to focus more, that means better shooting and better defense, like those hot teams do.

If you're holding your breath to lose one of the big three, then you will probably be disappointed.

You have got to be kidding me. People call my threads stupid. Are they really? Look at threads like this. "Spurs fans" wishing to lose. Now I've seen it all.

The number of cliffdivers on this forum these days is astounding.

[HI-FI]

No I'm tired of losing to good teams.

Same here but I wouldn't be shocked if we lose again to OKC. This forum will erupt and i'll be pissed but Spurs could still be coasting. It's hard to tell, we aren't looking like world beaters but maybe we don't need to be, just beat up on all the shitty teams and keep it in cruise control til when it counts.

[ElNono]

hoping we lose? WTF, stop trolling

[Sean Cagney]

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Personally, I think we do lose to the Thunder tomorrow. We have too many injuries. No Green on the perimeter. And I know I am highly critical of Splitter and I hate the guy, but his length and Defense would help tomorrow. We are staring at Tim Duncan to do everything on the inside tomorrow. We have no rim protection outside of Timmy. I also don't see nearly enough Defense on the Perimeter to slow OKC. I think we actually lose double digits. No, I am not wishing for a loss either. The Spurs right now obviously aren't a Finals team. Healthy? Honestly, no I don't think the Spurs can get back to the Finals. Am I cliff jumping? No, this is just what I see, I could be wrong, I am a lot. But I'm worried the Spurs don't have enough scoring when needed most. Who is going to get the basket when the Spurs absolutely need one? I don't really know. Parker isn't the same guy this year. He isn't scoring when it is absolutely needed, he isn't sharing the ball either or making plays for others. Timmy has slowed a little. Leonard hasn't taken the next big step. Be it because of coaching, or just because it is taking longer than thought. The Spurs just seem to need another guy imo. And there isn't a real obvious answer of where it is going to come from. Not without trading one of our 4 most important players. Even then, can we really afford to lose the Marco's, Mills, Green, and Diaw's of this team? Not really. The Spurs FO is going to have to pull of the perfect deal imo...

The Spurs somehow pull a win out tomorrow. I look like an idiot.

Can we get a line thru the tread...

So Miami has 12 losses and are 1-4 in their last 5 and Spurs fans are bitching about us not beating "elite teams" when we aren't at full strength?

not even a team that's tanking right now would be willing to take splitter or ginobli's contract from us.

I hope we lose again to OKC


Let them think they can beat us in the playoffs, then hand their asses to them

lol. Anyone else here hoping we lose in the first round?

[Spur|n|Austin]

:lol ok go shoot your self OP

[rascal]

The Spurs should have broken the big three(traded manu) up years ago.

[rascal]

I hope the spurs lose so much they miss the playoffs and get lucky in the lottery. Seems to be the ony way they can land top players.

[apalisoc_9]

yeah also hoping the'd lose to Miami...:lol

In all seriousness, I think i'd be fun seeing the threads if we lose to OKC and Miami...

[weeks]

anyone else glad we lost game six, tbh? wakeup call for the front office.

[bklynspursfan]

considering they are playing us on a 2nd night of a b2b and we have 3 days off, i'd be upset if we don't blow them out.

[spurs10]

We aren't losing to OKC. Unless that girl in lefty's sig sits on the front row, and in which case each team will turn the ball over so many times the score will be meaningless.

[Skull-1]

Troll. I give it 1/10.

[Skull-1]

The Spurs should have broken the big three(traded manu) up years ago.

This. "Ship him out right before the wheels fall off" would have been a good strategy.

[gameFACE]

Ehhh....the Spurs have plenty on their plate this next week. Wanting them to lose to OKC means you're scared.

[lmbebo]

I can understand the sentiment. In past years when the Spurs have struggled early, a few key wins around trade deadline have changed the spurs minds about pursuing a trade opportunity.

A win now may change the mindset of the Spurs front office for better or worse.

[Diego20]

I think we are going to win.

f$#ggot, ban this guy tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

This team does not need a trade. And no major trade is going to make the Spurs better. I can understand unloading De Colo, Joseph, or Baynes, anything more than that is going backwards.

[Sean Cagney]

The only way I would wish they would lose is if I made a ton of money off a bet and even then it would not be fair to other fans who really care for the team and want them to do well. I would hate to bet against my fave team.


Do I HOPE WE LOSE? Are you stupid?

[Baam]

Of course they need a trade, we have a broken starting unit with Detroit like spacing and shitty perimeter D...

Easily fixable. Doesn't require a trade at all.

Hopefully they'll be out of breath. We shall see. I will say, that was a pretty good game.

So a Westbrook-less okc team beat the team who routinely beats us and yet we aren't supposed to be concerned?

[RD2191]

Most Spurs fans are in denial. This season has been a total bust. People forget Parker was playing at an MVP level last season. I doubt he can pick up his play, hopefully I'm wrong.

[313]

Maybe if we lost in 07 OP, that would have shown the FO the error of their ways

[RD2191]

OKC are the favorites out west. They were killing teams before Westbrook went down.

[spurs10]

Yeah she is bad!!!!!!!! No shit! Mercy! :toast

[Aztecfan03]

You know you are pretty much contradicting your original post right? (that a win over okc wouldn't mean anything)

Also when did concern get brought into this?

[Aztecfan03]

The Spurs have the second best record DESPITE Parker not paying as well. Seems like a reason to be positive. BTW, what makes you think he cant pick it up?

[hooperflash]

Do we stop KD from scoring 30+ ? Let's do it!

[GrandeDavid]

The Spurs will not beat OKC tonight nor do they have a chance in the playoffs. And the FO won't make any impact trades. What chips do they have to truly make a difference? Appreciate the great history, though.

[wildchild]

Do we stop KD from scoring 30+ ? Let's do it!

I'm afraid not.

Durant 30,9 ppg in this season.

Last 5 games
46 vs POR
30 vs SAC
54 vs GSW
36 vs HOU
37 vs MEM


Take OKC vs GSW game for example, Iggy -one of best perimeter defender in the league- tried so hard to contain Durant, the result? 54 points of KD.
Leonard'll try to do a good job but Durant's consistency is absolutely staggering in a game. He's a monster, one best of the best.

However, Spurs'll miss Danny tonight and they haven't a decent SF backup to spell Leonard.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Do you happen to have the winning lottery numbers for this weeks drawing too??

[hooperflash]

I'm afraid not.

Yeah, I've been watching the games and I figured it would be cool to end this streak of his on a national tv broadcast . . I'm hoping we limit him to 24 pts or fewer . He does get to the line quite often though.

OH fuck yeah. I hope we don't win another game all year. That will force the front office to really consider bringing back Neal.

Looks like the ol' sport got his wish

They brought back the same team. Basically have kept the same core since their last title (big 3- no other team in the league has the same top 3 players since 2007)

[Aremid]

[rascal]

Last year they were lucky because the west was weakened by the injuries. The Spurs with the same type of team they always run with since their last title almost snuck in a title.

This year by their record against the best teams we see that they really are not a serious contender unless they get lucky again with injuries taking out the best teams.
Management has been way too conservative keeping the same players year in year out and thinking just changing role players will be good enough.

[rascal]

I was being facetious

I'm not.

Over paid both Manu and Splitter was a conservative move instead of going in another direction to bring in some youth and athletic explosiveness.

It makes you wonder how good (instead of LUCKY) our front office execs really are

[rascal]

I really don't think they are very good. They are good in keeping the same team together but not very good in upgrading the roster. They rode the lucky lottery ping pong ball bounces that landed them both Robinson and Duncan then made a couple of great draft picks in Parker and manu and have ridden those for over 13 years now. Without Lucky lottery(Duncan) The Spurs would have never had any titles with this current conservative management.

I lost respect for management when I saw the Lakers win back to back to back(2000-2002) while the Spurs had both Robinson and Duncan on the roster, that is just pitiful for a management to squander those 3 years because they could not surround Robinson/Duncan with better players (passed on Sprewell and R. Wallace because they were afraid of their character issues). The spurs won 2 out of 6 years with Robinson/Duncan and I say that is not good. Didn't even go to the finals in the other 4 years.

I feel like we at least tried to upgrade the roster in the early 2000's. The Anderson signing was an attempt to get talent it just never panned out. We also made key signings in Bruce Bowen, Robert horry, Michael Finley, and Brent Barry. I really feel like the fA stopped upgrading the roster after the 06 mavs series and just got really lucky in 07. When was the last time the FO actually went after a guy with horry or Barry's calibur??
