This Team Is Done

[dabom]

Starting to feel like 2010-2011 season all over again..Only Kawhi playing at an MVP-level has saved from going on a more miserable tailspin in terms of W-L record to end the year.

This is team is way better than their record suggests..that's inarguable at this point..

Manu broke his fucking arm. Stupid fuck. :lol

[spursistan]

^^ So this turd is still quoting me :lol..

[dabom]

You literally make no fucking sense ever dude. :lmao

[cutewizard]

Perhaps Pop wants to go under the radar again......

[cutewizard]

Can we get Marc Gasol next year????

[Darius Bieber]

Been saying it all season long. This team isn't definitely fool's gold. Their record is inflated. Now that it's April in 2 weeks, we see the Spurs' true form. They'll get bounced in the first round.

spurs can't afford tp playing 25 minutes a game in the playoffs.

Despite them being unusually good against the best teams (and unusually bad against the worst teams . . . though to be fair, they had to lose to someone), nothing that's happened throughout the regular season has changed my big picture view of this team.

I'm paraphrasing, but like Ginobili said: This win was nice, but they're the same team that lost, at home, to the Trail Blazers a week ago. Hell, the game before, they struggled to put away the Knicks, who were missing Anthony, no less. So let's not pretend that everything has changed because of one game.

Maybe they're more motivated against the best teams and "coasting" against the worst teams. Ever consider that?

Obviously they are, but if that's all it took, then how do you explain their propensity to do the opposite in previous years? :wakeup

If you watched almost every game of the Rockets, Cavs, Thunder, Clippers etc like you do with the Spurs you'd start a "they're done" thread on their forums tbh..

You truly thought you had it all figured out on 12/8/16?

Youre the ultimate cliff jumper

'17 Spurs are better than previous years. When you blow out shitty teams and lose to good teams, that is concerning. Not so much the other way around.

I might have done it with the Cavaliers at some point, but the Rockets, Thunder (this season) and Clippers, were never legit contenders to begin with and even the Cavs were only fringe ones.

I had it figured out long before then. I said it on July 4th (when Durant signed): if healthy, no one is beating those arrogant pricks in a series. There is no other legit contender.

:lmao Cliché, vanilla, blind faith fans, who have no problem criticizing, but refuse to give credit when it's due.

The team metrics don't indicate as much, but even if they are, like I said in another thread, they weren't incremental improvement away from winning a championship. They were a prime Parker and that was before Durant signed with the Warriors and Aldridge fell off a cliff.

We all know the Warriors are the favorite and it would be a huge choke job if they don't win it all this year. Check out my false expectations thread...

But with that said you've created threads saying they're done in December and even in this thread said they aren't contenders etc etc..

I'm not a blind/cliche fan. If the Spurs aren't good enough I'll admit it..but I don't jump off cliffs in December or after every disappointing loss

At least I've given good reason for my view, unlike you cliché, vanilla, blind faith types, who just want to cover your ass either way.

Translation: If by some miracle they were to beat a healthy Warriors team, you get to play holier than thou, pretend to have believed the entire time and been a "real fan" and if they lose, you still get to play holier than thou because you can just regurgitate this. This is what I mean by having no problem criticizing, but being unwilling to give credit when it's due.

For the umpteenth time, I'm not predicting they won't win the championship, I'm saying they can't (again, without at least being aided by a significant injury to the Warriors). There's a difference.

The fact that you think that's "cliff jumping" is precisely why you're a cliché, vanilla, blind faith fan.

Contrary to your claim, I'm rarely on after games period and most of my takes have nothing to do with a specific game; they're big picture.

Criticism is fine. I've done it and I'll do it again..just because I call for FAIR CRITICISM doesn't mean I'm a cliche or blind fan lol but I don't knee jerk or cliff jump. And I'm sorry making a thread in December saying the team is done is cliff jumping.

tp played 31 minutes last night and you know what that led to. he should be playing under 20.

[spursistan]

Bump..

Still rooting for them to turn the tables in the series--though I don't see it-- but I just hope the ugly nature of this potential exit can convince PATFO to blow this shit up..

Everyone but Kawhi is available for the right price-- even slightly below it for Aldridge.

[Darius Bieber]

Called this shit back in December tbh
