yeah cause they've been an awful postseason team the last 2 years

They certainly should. Every other team should be fucking terrified of playing us right now.

I've been sayin, this is one of the most motivated teams of all time. Two years of tragedy tends to have that effect.

No theyve been like my Broncos since 07. Ton of hype in the regular season and at some point in the post season they will choke. I will sig bet you anything that Spurs aint winning shit this year

Spurs will run into a roadblock in the playoffs in the form of James Harden or Kevin Durant. Spurs won't make it out of the 2nd round.

[spurraider21]

dmc picking the spurs to lose? blasphemy

[DMC]

I haven't been wrong yet. The bench will be fine, but Tim won't be on, his shots will be short and just a small sign of tightness in Parker's leg and Manu is going to go full on retard. Pop will play Ayres extended minutes.

[spurraider21]

did you have the spurs coming out of the west last year?

[FkLA]

DMC was wrong about dem Spurs last year tbh.

Also once the Finals start, I got $$ on my Spurs for anyone that wants to bet against them. We go through a third party for the bet.

[HI-FI]

what hype, niglet? :lol We're like the team nobody knows about.
pretty much. ESPN would rather show a bunch of nigs dunking or chimping out then some high BBIQ shit.

I love FkLA 's confidence on this. the past two seasons have somewhat scarred me in this regard so I ain't predicting shit. I just want Spurs playing with purpose and good health, I'll be cool with that.

Parker/Manu/Duncan looking mas-o-menos and the rest of our scrubs rolling on adrenalin from a loooong win streak. a loss would be a bucket of ice water on the team

let's hope Spurs lose a few times before playoffs start or they are not going anywhere.

The Heat wouldn't want any part of the the Spurs this time around if they ever clash in the Finals. A matchup against OKC in the WCF is another thing.

the other variable was the officiating in that game 6 was terrible, almost as criminal as game 6 of 2002 WCF. Spurs got hosed at the end. It doesn't excuse Parker shitting the bed when Sefolasha was put on him though. I don't mind Spurs losing some games, health is all I care about, though HCA is always an issue with Thunderefs.

[hater]

No team has won it all without a superstar since the 03 pistons. And even then, it took a supernova Billups and one of the best defenses in the last 20 years to achieve this.

truth is, if MVParker does not regain his superstar form, it's just not gonna happen fellas

Last three, actually

This and more this.

2012: Stern backdoor swept the Thunder out the playoffs so the Thunder could "advance"

2013: Pop got sloppy, bad break on two rebounds, series over

Never count your chickens before they hatch, Spurs fans.

You ain't the Heat, the Lakers, etc: you ain't popular, nor getting ANY calls when it matters.

As a matter of fact, the more dominant the Spurs get, the more whistles go against them, for parity's sake, or just outright rigging.

And we haven't even gotten to the injury bug. TD goes down in some useless RS game, it's all over, Spurs won't even get out of the first round.

All these factors, you can't bank on a title for the SA.

The Spurs could be up 40 with 6 min left to eliminate the Heat, and win the title, and no Spurs fans should celebrate yet.

[ElNono]

There's no reason for Spursfan not to be optimistic... there's obviously no guarantees in sports, but they're playing great. Might as well enjoy it.

Kobe Bryant Stands To Lose $75 Million In Divorce (http://www.nairaland.com/829443/kobe-bryant-stands-lose-million#9805598) by GossipGirl (http://www.nairaland.com/gossipgirl): 8:34pm On Dec 20, 2011


Kobe Bryant’s divorce (http://www.popularcritic.com/2011/12/16/kobe-bryants-shocking-divorce-from-wife-vanessa-bryant/)from his wife of ten and a half years, Vanessa Lynne Bryant (http://www.popularcritic.com/2011/12/20/vanessa-bryant-divorce-no-prenup-will-cost-kobe-bryant-75m/), may cost him $75 million. After repeated cases of infidelity (http://www.popularcritic.com/2011/12/17/vanessa-bryant-divorcing-kobe-over-recent-case-of-infidelity/), the Lakers basketball wives tipped Vanessa (http://www.popularcritic.com/2011/12/19/kobe-and-vanessa-bryant-divorce-sparked-by-basketball-wives-gossip/) to a recent case that put the coffin in the nail. While the debate rages on about Vanessa’s peculiar timing for filing the divorce petition, although reports just surfaced that Vanessa considered the option four years ago over Kobe’s incessant cheating, a new debate begins around the lack of a prenuptial agreement.

According to the LA Times, “the apparent lack of a prenuptial agreement — coupled with 10 years of marriage — significantly increases the size of Vanessa Bryant’s divorce settlement with Kobe Bryant, legal experts said.

“Some estimates put Los Angeles Lakers star’s net worth at $150 million. Legal experts said Vanessa will probably receive at least $75 million in addition to ongoing spousal and child support.” http://www.nairaland.com/smileys/shocked.gif http://www.nairaland.com/smileys/shocked.gif http://www.nairaland.com/smileys/shocked.gif

Eh. The Heat have no chance against the Spurs this year. The Spurs worst enemy are themselves. This team, without the chance of being injured, will win the championship. No other team has put up the stretch that the Spurs currently have.

The execution is probably the best I've seen in my life. The efficiency of the execution IS the best I've ever seen. No one matches this and yes I've watched other teams. The Spurs are on fire and unstoppable.

Tonight the Spurs beat the Pacers with the same dominance they did with the Heat. They did not allow any type of climatic comeback. All they did was simply play their basketball and impose their will.

I don't think anyone really stands a chance. The team has too much of a mentality to get cocky and definitely won't have that mentality of taking possessions off knowing what happened in the finals.

The Spurs don't get under their opponents skin by talking to motivate them. This is a "by your actions team". They got out there, do their thing, and leave. No taunting at all. Anybody who shoots down the Spurs now do not know shit about basketball and the Spurs deserve the utmost respect for this seasons accomplishments.

I never said the 2013 Finals was fixed. The Heat got more calls, but it was one of the fairer Finals I've seen.

Pop got cute and sloppy, two bad breaks on rebounds, and there is your series.

But if you think Stern hasn't sent the Spurs home from the post-season on multiple occasions, then let me introduce to a sport you'll like, it's called
NBA basketball.

I said the same exact thing more or less when Spurs were up 2-0 on OKC tbh ... I think this team is better, deeper and more battle tested but just saying you cannot say the Heat could not possibly do the same. Until the Heat are buried they are the champs and have the worlds best player.

This Spurs team is a notch above the 2012 version. In 2012 the Spurs had the #1 offense and the #11 defense. Now it's #6 offense (as close to #1 as to #8) and #3 defense.

The Thunder are still a very good team, but without Harden their ceiling is lower than in 2012. Ibaka and Durant are better now though.

At this point it has become painfully obvious that this is a team on a mission. A mission to right a wrong. A mission to take back what should have been theirs. A mission for redemption goddamn it.

If there was ever a creature or entity that would be the embodiment of the Spurs and their plan of action it would be this:

HUNGRY FOR HEAT!


http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Film/Pix/pictures/2008/05/13/hulk.jpg

You did it to yourself. The Heat lost to you, but, you insisted that they win. And you, nor Media have the decency to cite your denial and perceived victimization as wrong headed as it is. You'll both do it though should it work out. If it don't:::it'll be like it never happened AGAIN.

Ya fucks.

Or, this shit. No.

[~O~]

This years Heat is nothing to fear. Only their reputation in the past. The Heat within their rotting souls know they chanced out on plays that were decided by the unpredictable direction the ball would bounce. Who knows what difference Manu would make if he wasn't on the floor unable to recover to Ray Allen. Who knows what Tim Duncan being on the floor during the Allen possession would make.

The Spurs are a team that is on the course of redemption. From one game on two plays. This team, by their character handles business by their actions. The motivation being this one...single...game. I'm sure all the other players empathize with the Spurs situation knowing that most of the league doesn't at all take kindly to the Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat's weaknesses are Tall teams at the point (Nets), Dwight Howard around talented young team, teams with backbone, and teams with execution and teams that don't turnover the ball in their trapping defense. The weaknesses of them doubling at the Key have been exposed with the short roll leaving the middle and the corner open. They also have to fight harder for rebounds since they aren't in particular a great rebounding team. Thus, this causes them to have to work harder. Teams without backbone such as the Pacers and Thunder are teams that should beating the daylights out of them. The Pacers and Thunder aren't efficient enough or confident enough to drill an opponent down to the ground. They have more than enough talent to do so. The Spurs should have been in the finals twice in a row and the Thunder had no business being there.

The Brooklyn Nets who the Miami Heat have taken seriously in all cases, have dominated the Heat this year..........while unhealthy. This team with size, length, off the dribble scorers, slow and controlled pace, and etc is a nightmare match up for the Heat. Since preseason, I could tell the Heat would have an issue with gritty defenders and unorthodox scorers the Nets acquired.

One other reason is that I've noticed LeBron's blocks are down however his field goal percentage is off the wall as well as the rest of the other two. However, Wade is the one I'm most worried about. Without Wade is the one I factor in the most in the finals due to his acrobatics on making unbelievable shots. and irksome floaters Without Wade, LeBron James would not have these rings. Wade adds more to Miami Heat's swagger than LeBron James does. Its very elusive and difficult for anyone the common fan to see. Bosh? Eh.

Most of all, I've noticed that the Heat haven't been having those quarters where they can come back on a team in the third quarters. Shane Battier isn't having that season where he can put up record breaking threes and piss the opponent off. Their also missing Mike Miller, their three point juggernaut. Mike Miller shooting and making threes is deadly for a teams morale.


Right now, these are the brackets. If New York somehow sneaks into the playoffs, the Heat will finally have a challenge in the worst of ways. New York is unpredictable now in terms of capabilities. They shouldn't have been this bad to being with. Their just lazy, rich(which can make you settle), and underachievers who didn't work hard enough during the off season. Talent gone to waste due to ignorance.

If the Heat would have continued to lose as it appeared it was their strategy to have taken the easy route, they would have easily ended up in the finals. The Bobcats, Raptors and Wizards are teams I am not confident at all in. If they prove me wrong, it would have to be then end of the world.



What the SPurs have done this year is made up for Ginobili's lack of scoring by signing a near duplicate, Marco Bellinelli. Knowing that Pop implementation is A grade, efficiency is up and he's become a complete asset to this team. Not to mention that Emanuel is playing far better this year. I watch the Spurs play the Heat with their full roster out there. The Spurs did not allow the Heat to have any type of lead whatsoever and crushed any momentum they could build. The turnover's were low, the off ball activity was high, and the Heat simply couldn't catch up to the ball movement the Spurs implemented. Every player was a factor that game including Tiago and Diaw. The bench was outstanding. The thing about that game was the Heat set the same plays they did for the past season. Greg Popovich has them figured out.

swap mavs for Suns and the spurs would once again have the easiest path to the finals imho, no tough match expected until the WCF where the well-rested spurs will be in good position to eliminate whichever team that fought their way to the WCF (no matter it is OKC, Clippers or Mavs)

most important is health. Hopefully some providence shines the Spurs' way.
Next is Enrique's ego. This one is going to take Pop and the team to overcome.
Third is Manu's brainfarts.

people are still bringing up 2012 OKC as if they still have Harden

[sexinthatsx]

Although the Spurs are doing great this year, it's pretty obvious that their offensive execution relies heavily on the "Popovich system" - which is spacing the floor and a lot of passing.

I know I'm going to probably get a lot of heat for saying this, but as much as it hurt to see Ginobili turn the ball over so many times in the finals last year, it wasn't entirely his fault. Because of this Popovich system, players are to run to their designated spots and be ready for the pass. If you look at the offensive sets this year compared to last, nothing has really changed except for the fact that you don't have a Gary Neal chucking shots that aren't within the offensive sets. Almost all the passes any Spurs players make is passing it to where the player will run to, not where the player is. So when the Heat forced numerous turnovers on the Spurs last year, the system essentially broke down. All the players got scared to pass in fear of turnovers and suddenly the offense was very hard to get clicking again. That's why it was so apparent that the momentum changed so much from game to game simply depending on whether they got their passing off. Now how is this related to Ginobili? It's related because while other players were scared of turnovers and decided to catch passes not while in the act of running, Ginobili threw passes to where others were running to, creating more turnovers.

In either case, the Spurs really do need a go to guy that can handle isolation plays when their passing offensive game breaks down like the Heat exploited them last year.

I'm a little more confident this time around. However if OKC can stop the Spurs ball movement and force turnovers (like they did back in 2012), it'll be a short series.

Terrible shtick. losing a championship in that fashion is worse than getting swept in the first round

[spurraider21]

there is nothing worse than getting swept in the first round. that just means you flat out did not belong in the playoffs. choking in the finals certainly stings more, but its still far and away a better season than a first round mop job

[spurraider21]

OKC is the biggest threat to the Spurs, but I don't think their matchup is as favorable as it was in '12 when they had the bearded one

[King Emmanuel]

losing in 5 to the mavs in 2009 didn't feel like anything. 6? man we have people upstairs killing themselves over that

[spurraider21]

losing in 09 was completely expected, manu was out for the season at that point

[Kidd K]

Let's not declare them winners already. There's still refs, manic Manu, health, potential bad luck, and great teams to go through. Anything can happen.



My only concern like I said upstairs last time spurs looked this good OKC backdoor swept them ...
Of course those dumbasses traded Harden instead of Perk ..and signed Ibaka ...

But a reminder that even when the Spurs look unbeatable that is not a guarantee.

Don't even act like the refs didn't make that happen though. Ibaka doesn't get away with double digit goaltends in a 2 game span in addition to multiple instances of 8 FTAs in 5 possessions -exactly- when the game appears to be slipping out of OKC's control without a fix being in. I mean dude, a composed, intelligent, non fouling team who's up BIG doesn't suddenly start fouling an ice cold team repeatedly.

That's the only series I've ever seen that truly seemed to be fixed to me. I don't even count that as a choke. The refs took it away with whistles.

Team is historically great. Just smashing opponents during the win streak with starters playing under 30 mpg. We're just too versatile.

:tu

That last turnover in game 7 by Ginobili was not his fault at all. The defenders switched on the pick, and Duncan had a wide open lane to the basket, but never rolled like he was supposed to. That was Duncan's fault, not Ginobili. And there were several more cases of that happening. I remember thinking the exact same thing when watching it, knowing people are going to blame Manu for all those turnovers, even though many of them were not really his fault.

And as you alluded to, their lack of a guy who can consistently get them buckets in half court sets will once again be their downfall. They have a magnificent system, but elite defenses can limit the effectiveness of any system. Honestly a lot of what changed was when Ray Allen started guarding Danny Green instead of Wade. Wade likes to help off of his man far too much, which allowed Green a plethora of wide open 3s. Ray Allen didn't like his record being broken, and decided to take him on, and take all those open looks away by staying at home and forcing Green to put the ball on the floor, which ruined his rhythm and caused the system to go haywire. What made everything work in their previous 3 championship runs, is that they had guys (Timmy, Ginobili, Parker) who could still find ways to create offense and score even when not running the system. All three of them have gotten older and to the point that they cannot consistently produce in those situations against elite defenders like they used to be capable of.

Someone in this thread mentioned earlier that the 04 Pistons was a far superior squad compared to this years Spurs. While I believe the Piston's defense was some of the most nitty gritty defense I've seen in a while, Chauncey Billups was playing out of his mind. Every team that gets to the finals always has and needs a star to will them to victory, or create open shots for other teammates. Unfortunately, Tim Duncan just doesn't command respect for double teams anymore; he got shut down by Shane Battier for god's sake :(

I think the Spurs are definitely having crisper backdoor cuts and offensive passing game this season compared to the last, but lets not forget just what happens when 3 turnovers in a row happens, the Spurs end up getting scared and all momentum fades. So the question is, if turnovers result from backdoor cuts this year, will the Spurs melt down again like they did last year?
