Does it sting?

[Keepin' it real]

Blowout loss... national embarrassment.... Pop laughing on the sideline while losing by 36.

[jag]

Nah, I've already experienced like 3 lifetimes worth of winning with this franchise. It's disappointing though.

[noles1983]

If they dont care, why should we?

[100%duncan]

Not really. Sad for kawhi though. But Pop hasnt cared since he won 5 tbh

[timtonymanu]

Nah it's pretty easy to hate on this year's Spurs team. They don't deserve shit. And the writing was on the wall all season that this team was gonna get exposed in the playoffs.

[ViceCity86]

Never felt stunged by a blowout.

[mexicanjunior]

Meh...I knew Rockets would sweep...nothing surprising here...

[Arcadian]

As Spurs fans, nothing should faze us anymore at this point. We've been through some of the worst losses imaginable, and at the same time we have the wins to make up for it.

[bic50]

Then pop needs to retire.

TBH.

Nothing will ever compare to 2013. I don't think it's possible to even come close.

[illusioNtEk]

Can't wait till we win it all so they can shit on everyone here

[bic50]

That's what she said

[daslicer]

The '01 Sweep by the Lakers was the most traumatic experience I have had as a spurs fan when it comes to lopsided defeats. Even if the Spurs lose this series it still won't compare. More was at stake in that WCF series then this.

[myhc]

Not really. Disappointing? Sure. But like everyone said, I've been through so many fucked up losses that nothing really fazes me anymore.

[KDKSpurs24]

Blowouts like this don't sting.

[John Petrucci]

Nah, not really surprising. No sting, just feel kinda bad for Kawhi

[timtonymanu]

I mean the fact that we let d league scrubs like Harrison, Daniels and Sedan go off last round should have been a warning when we face actual real NBA talents that Houston has.

SEDAN?

[DarrinS]

I was so happy after 5 that every playoff game seems like a bonus now.

[timtonymanu]

SEDAN?

Yeah some guy named Wayne Selden lol

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah some guy named Wayne Selden lol

I know.. was just trying to make a point that Grizz is so bad we dobt even know they're players. Now were playing against Ariza-Lou--Gordon. :lmao

[703 Spurz]

Not for me. I'm good with whatever happens. Spurs have spoiled me as a fan. Their 5 rings are enough for a lifetime.

[UZER]

You and Pop... Shoulder to shoulder.

[HarlemHeat37]

Meh, you'll never feel as low as 2013 and as high as 2014, as an NBA fan, tbh..

The past 2 seasons have been especially irrelevant, since the Warriors are in a different universe than the rest of the West..

[Marcus Bryant]

Not really. It's beyond gravy at this point.

[UZER]

Not really. It's beyond gravy at this point.

Tell that to Kawhi.

[Marcus Bryant]

Further, fuck you. Spurs were blown out in the '05 Finals. What was the subject of your thread then?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

lol

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Nothing will ever compare to 2013. I don't think it's possible to even come close.


2013 Game 6 followed by the whole 2014 postseason run ruined me for Spurs games. I honestly cant even get that upset anymore because I will never be that low again as I was in 2013. And I will never be that high again as I was at the championship game 5 in 2014.

[YGWHI]

Then pop needs to retire.

Remember when Lakers got eliminated/humiliated by the Grizz? And Jackson annunced his retirement after the series?

Pop lost his fire. Spurs need a young coach who really cares about winning like Celtics' coach...That type of guy.

[spursistan]

Nah..The writing was on the wall in the first round..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Nah..The writing was on the wall in the first round..

Not that these two teams are at all similar but everyone was saying the same shit back in 2014

[apalisoc_9]

Not much.

2013 is what really hurt.

I remeber telling myself I am giving up basketball :lol

[Mitch]

Could be worse

2013? Virgin.

Pretty much this. Whatever else the Spurs do on a positive note, I take. They play like embarrassing pieces of shit like today? Meh, whatever. Throw away the tape. Besides everything is a mere formality. We all know who will represent the West in the finals.

[daslicer]

Could be worse
http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200105250LAL.html

Yeah that series was the worst for me. Spurs got dominated from start to finish in that series. Plus the Kobe-Shaq Lakers were the team I hated the most all time. Which made that series more painful to take.

[TE]

Not much.

2013 is what really hurt.

I remeber telling myself I am giving up basketball :lol
:lol yeah that was the worst fucking sequence of days for me.

[FkLA]

I didn't tune into ESPN, listen to sports talk radio, log onto Spurstalk, or go to any basketball sites for months after 2013 happened. :lol

[Slippy]

Blowout loss... national embarrassment.... Pop laughing on the sideline while losing by 36.

Not excusing pop hes the coach. as a fan i was lauhing by the 4th like is this for real.

[timtonymanu]

Losses sting less too when you know Timmy isn't in there giving his all only for the team to let him down. It's easier to swallow a loss when you see guys like Aldridge getting stripped by Ryan Anderson, and Gasol just being virtually useless.

Pretty much this. I felt Duncan was a once in lifetime player and that the Spurs had to maximize their chances to win with him so whenever they lost it was very painful. Tonight's loss doesn't hurt it just infuriates me to see the lack of effort from Aldridge. He played with no spine in this game.

[Marcus Bryant]

2013?

This century? You fucking babies.

[hater]

Can't wait till we win it all so they can shit on everyone here

:lmao

[hater]

Of course it stings. A blowout loss like this in the playoffs is proof that A this is a matchup nightmare for this team like the 09? Suns were when they swept us with old Nash, and Drgic. And B a blowout like this just shows the entire team was unprepared. Even the 76ers would have fought harder and smarter. Its a pathetic finale to the Pop/Ginobili era.

It stings eventhou I been saying this team is a 2nd round exit team since december

Cant even imagine how much it stings to the homers out here who said Spurs woukd destroy the Rockets :lmao

They even created a lol clitchfans meltdown thread :lmao

It must sting those poor folks immensely cant even imagine the sting :lol

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

I do not think it could be said any better.

We get it, you're old, way to go.

[Keepin' it real]

Not excusing pop hes the coach. as a fan i was lauhing by the 4th like is this for real.

I woke up this morning wondering if last night really happened. Felt like college, but not in a good way.

[TDomination]

This times 100.

Seeing Duncan lose was painful every time because i know how good he was and that the team should be doing better than that.

This team exceeded expectations tbh, at least regular season expectations.

For me personally, it doesn't sting because we were down by 30 by halftime and i just couldnt watch it anymore. It was too ugly. So Its just like oh well, move on to the next game.

But what i didn't like was that its one thing to give up a lot of 3's its another to just look dismal on offense, making Pringles defensive team look like world beaters. That bothered me more than anything.

[urunobili]

Nah, not really surprising. No sting, just feel kinda bad for Kawhi

[Down Under]

Meh, you'll never feel as low as 2013 and as high as 2014, as an NBA fan, tbh..

Assuming Durant & Curry Re-Sign, what do you do? With those 2 plus Green there's no chance for anyone else to win unless you have 3 freak things go wrong like last year. So what do you do? Let them 3peat until Green's contract runs out and develop players like Murray & trade Aldridge and see what we can get? Seems like a waste of Kawhi's prime, but seriously those 3 make GS an unstoppable scoring force and a defensive force as well. And that's without Thompson. Or do you try and win now - go after Paul, resign Dedmon as his PnR partner and try and flip Aldridge for a stretch 4/backup wing, assuming Mills walks, Manu retires & Gasol/Parker's contracts are off the books after next season.

[in2deep]

I don't know what do you think?
