Spurs' fans, can you handle another devastating playoff elimination?

[Jacob1983]

OKC is 1 win away from tying this shit up. You have to admit Spurs fans that it would be devastating for you guys if the Spurs choke another 2-0 lead in the WCF against OKC.
2011 - Spurs get bounced in the 1st round by Memphis
2012 - Spurs choke 2-0 lead to OKC in WCF
2013 - Spurs choke in the last 30 seconds of game 6 of the Finals

[FkLA]

It would kill the spurfan part of me honestly. Id have to take a looong break from the Spurs/NBA.

[Robz4000]

It'd be par for the course tbh, though it'd prolly be franchise changing for the Spurs.

[Jacob1983]

I think if the Spurs lose in the WCF or Finals this year, then they would be getting close to Patriots territory. Had a great run but never able to complete the mission after the great run of championships.

[HI-FI]

depends. If it's like 2012 game 6 shit, or basically tonight's officiating, then I'd be done with the NBA for good. Tbh, it sucks that Duncan's window closing is coinciding with the OKC Welfare years. If it's from Spurs choking like last year, I'd still watch, just would hate to see the team revolve around Parker since he's been a big part of the choking.

[Technique]

Each year the spurs got closer. This year Tony Parker is going to be choking on all that ass he's going to get at the celebration party.

[ElNono]

been there, done that

[hater]

easy

if we survived 6. we can survive anything. this is nothing :lmao

[DD]

They'll never hear the end of it if they shit the bed this time.

going this deep in the playoffs and falling short with the 3tosb, clearly shows how shit the league is diluted of teams and the heat have had it too easy with their championships

[hater]

They'll never hear the end of it if they shit the bed this time.

hearing this will beat hearing about 6. I'd welcome it :lol

[DD]

hearing this will beat hearing about 6. I'd welcome it :lol

Yeah, but we're talking about a cumulative effect tbh. An anthology of choking, if you will. I'm still waiting for the back-breaking Manu performance.

[ErnestLynch]

Yeah, but we're talking about a cumulative effect tbh. An anthology of choking, if you will. I'm still waiting for the back-breaking Manu performance.

My guess is we lose game 4 and Pop, Manu and Timmy retire, mid series.

Or not ...

[ezau]

[TDMVPDPOY]

only clown benefitting from the spurs collapse is enrique, he get a loyalty contract after this

[Horse]

Really it's not a collapse when you clearly dominate a team only to have the refs hand them a games in the series.

[Strange Love]

Yep, it would. This place would die fast.

Last straw it will take for Kori to say fuck it and let the site's pay cycle end and just let it wither.

That being said. Spurs will win game 4.

If the refs are at least decent. Did you check out the huge parity in FT attempts just in the 3rd quarter favoring the Thunder? The refs simply didn't allow the Spurs to make any type of run. Fuck that.

[djohn2oo8]

If Spurs look scared again, they have no chance.

[spurraider21]

we lose game 3 and everybody prematurely ejaculating over the spurs failure this season... to be expected

[Splits]

I searched all over and can't find your backdoor sweep thread. Link pls :cry

[Strange Love]

Too many coincidences so it is to be expected.

Ibaka coming back is just a red herring. Everyone thinks that's why they won. I mean, partly yes but not entirely.

You have the refs to consider.

[TE]

i can top that :lol

^^^^^^ No doubt about this.

Thats true, but this would be a huge kick to the nuts after game 6! THE ICING on the cake. They looked so good 8 out of the last 10 games and to have them just implode and lose again in 6 to the Thunder would be devistating after being up 2-0 again.

[benefactor]

i can top that :lol
:lol

At least you know what a Superbowl looks like. All Houston knows how to do is stuff like give up the biggest lead in playoff history and make plays that get called against them that lead to inception of instant replay.

[spurraider21]

in the only superbowl i witnessed in my lifetime, our MVP quarterback broke the record for picks thrown :lol
still love gannon though, he's the qb i grew up on

pretty ingenious on the league's part. make the story about Spearchucker's valiant return, when the real history making was the FT disparity in the 3rd quarter.

[Clipper Nation]

The irony of this question being asked by the faggot who grabs for his Xanax every time "his" Mavs lose a game :lol

[Franklin]

As long as you can handle the pressure of working 13-15 hours a day for shitty pay at a treadmill job without no holidays...

[ezau]

Another great quote from ezau. Sig worthy.

Thank you Kool Bob Love

[Jacob1983]

Clipbandwagoner, I know you are butthurt because your overrated team is still waiting to pop their conference final cherry but damn, you need to chill ass fuck. Im not prematuring at all. It is highly possible that the Spurs lose to the Heat again in the Finals.

[DMC]

I'd think they can handle it at least as well as you can handle working at Target for another season and looking at that shitty liberal arts degree you no doubt have on your basement wall.

Basements in Texas? Where?

I'm gonna laugh if the Spurs don't ring this year.

[Sean Cagney]

They still beat your team though. That is not enough though, that was expected.

[Jacob1983]

I want to see these basements in Texas you speak of.

I'm a Houston football fan. Nothing phases me.
Lions fan here

[Leetonidas]

I'll go ahead and continue living my life tbh

[TE]

At least you grew up with a team that went to the superbowl...the Cowboys past the 2000 season have been a laughing stock...6 is nowhere near to the cumulative failure of the 2000 and on up Cowboys tbh...

[timtonymanu]

Honestly if they lose again this year, it will be devastating. They have a pretty great chance to win it all.

But yes, it won't top 6.

[DMC]

Basements in Texas? Where?

You probably could use a good laugh considering...

[DMC]

The Spurs are not going to win a championship this year. If they make it to the Finals it will be a miracle, but they won't beat the Heat in a series. Spurs fan should be content with getting this far, and treat the Finals like getting to the top of the mountain with no sherpa.

[Shastafarian]

Nah man, Spurs are the best team in the league, you'll see... they got this.. they got ref fucked last game, but they'll win this one

[Budkin]

I'm a Bills fan. Beat that shit.

This tbh.

[FromWayDowntown]

If they lose, they lose. Doesn't change my life.

I'd rather see them win, of course, but it's just basketball.

[FromWayDowntown]

Honestly, all of this stuff should have been over about 5 years ago. That this team has continued to be relevant and competitive is absolutely insane. It's all been icing on the cake since 2007.

[Kool Bob Love]

I'm a Bills fan. Beat that shit.

Thats funny. Because someone itt is talking shit and is also a bills fan....hmmmm

oh here he is.


They'll never hear the end of it if they shit the bed this time.

DD you pay the BILLS yet?


Yeah, but we're talking about a cumulative effect tbh. An anthology of choking, if you will. I'm still waiting for the back-breaking Manu performance.



4 straight and not one willing to come home to buffalo?

[rascal]

It'd be par for the course tbh, though it'd prolly be franchise changing for the Spurs.

No it won't.
The Spurs will be back next year with the same team and most everyone will be happy about it.

[ElNono]

Honestly, all of this stuff should have been over about 5 years ago. That this team has continued to be relevant and competitive is absolutely insane. It's all been icing on the cake since 2007.

That's exactly how I feel about it. It was 4 years ago when we were talking about "farewell tour", I don't forget that. We're extremely lucky to be where we at.

[Bynumite]

A playoff exit vs OKC after leading 2-0 would be like rubbing salt in a fresh wound and make 6 sting even more because OKC is young and if they stay healthy that means 6 was the spurs last legit shot at a title and they blew it in dramatic fashion.

[midnightpulp]

That's exactly how I feel about it. It was 4 years ago when we were talking about "farewell tour", I don't forget that. We're extremely lucky to be where we at.

This.

Good season either way.

If the Thunder are that much better with Ibaka, then we didn't deserve to make the Finals anyway.

[21209]

Yes. The Thunder are just better than the Spurs.

That should be the mindset of our players. We don't have nothing to lose and we've already won 4 rings in Tim's era. We can perform even above our normal level with the mental pressure gone, just like our scrubs did through the last 1.5 quarters tonight.

But the fans have every right to want a 5th ring or even a 6th, there's nothing wrong with that imho.

They can want 5 rings in one hand, shit in the other, see which gets full first. If they get free tacos they should be happy.

[DMC]

I don't care if the Thunder win, I just know they will shit the bed in the Finals. If I thought they'd take the ring, I'd feel better about them getting there, but they won't.

[Franklin]

Agree, the only western team that has a shot at beating Miami is the Spurs that's why I've been rooting for them Spurs since the elimination of Mavs. If OKC made the finals this year they'd get defeated even sooner than 2yrs ago tbh.

[mudyez]

I absolutely can take can handle several devastating playoff elimination to my team?

It's called "Beeing a fan"!

[adonis827]

yeah me too would take a long break.. like until the start of next season :D
