Playing less Mills and Belli in game 2 against denver is the difference between first round and WCF..

[apalisoc_9]

Sorry to say.

Blazers so thin in the paint and the nuggets has looked like the superior team the last 4 games.

The Spurs would have won in 5 against Portland.

It's funny...I always here the same shitty response. Oh playing mills 5 minutes less or belli 5 minutes less wouldnt have made a difference...

Thats BS. They would have game 2 easy.

[objective]

Spurs match up well with the Rockets also. If Rockets beat GS, Spurs might go to the finals

Oh well.

[slick'81]

Gotta keep improving the team so we can finally get outta the damn first round

[ducks]

We would have killed Portland

ST Self Harmers: Roster sucks, Pop's senile, DeRozan's a choker, Aldridge's a whiner, Front Office is behind the times, Coyote plants bats for ratings, Mills is the worst contract in the history of sport, Forbes has feminine features

Also ST Self Harmers: The Spurs were a break or two away from being in the Finals

[313]

Dame and CJ would have averaged 30 a piece

[ducks]

Spurs had the roster if pop played the right people in roster and others stayed on bench

[ducks]

Dame and CJ would have averaged 30 a piece


White stopped Murray when white actually played
Murray never really went off like he is against Portland

Aldridge a whiner?

Meh.

He's just nazr mohammad with a green light.

Murray went off in game 5 and essentially ended our season

How many minutes did white play when Murray on court

[ducks]

Aldridge a whiner?

Meh.

He's just nazr mohammad with a green light.


He won as many titles and Stockton mailman Barkley
Many others

How many minutes did white play when Murray on court

https://youtu.be/u8iBtbq7MeI?t=206

3:26-4:40

White was the primary defender during the run Murray went on here that seals the game.

[venitian navigator]

Mills and Belli are the two I'd trade away this upcoming draft...considering White is gonna play lot of minutes, DJM is coming back and Walker/Forbes should both fight for a primary role...while DDR (actally our sf) will necessarly eat some minutes at his original big shooting guard spot and some at big point guard position.
With these 5 guys out there I frankly think our minutes at the 1/2 will be all covered and our leadership duties should be passed from Mills to new age point guards, aka the quite White and the enthusiastic returning DJM.
That said, we need wings and this draft looks full of them...but more in the top 12 than in our drafting positions.
Back to Mills and Belli, there could be a case that some team really could need what they can still bring on the table...and so could let us advance in the drafting spot trading their for our said players.
Both still are considered for what is actually the most precious skill in the nba : 3 point shooting.
And both bring veteran experience at the max level (means championship level) and, in case of Mills, also big leadership qualities.
Some team could and should value these qualities a lot...(think of teams with play off ambitions, lack of three point shooting and leadership problems...and some big contract they don't like and want to trade away).

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

That was all Pops doing. 100%

But apparently he never got a failing grade all series :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

nuggets are battle tested due to the spurms bending over like a man and taking it like a man they are, nothing to see here, move along

[mookie2001]

Timvp had Marco as a B+ average for the series lol

[r0drig0lac]

Oh well.

nah

[RC_Drunkford]

you realize this now OP? Everybody saw this when we lost Game 2. That was the series and it was clear as day that the Blazers can't hang with the Spurs. They can't guard Aldridge and Spurs can put White on Lillard. McCollum ain't that big so Forbes could guard him, otherwise you put DeRozan on him. Blazers are an easier match up than Denver for us.

And I don't think the Spurs could beat the Rockets, but Pop never lost a series to D'Antoni. So if the Rockets beat the Dubs, Spurs would 've had at least a punchers chance in the WCF

[hater]

Lol it still hurts :lmao

Get over it sperm fans

No combination of any players would have beaten the Nuggets as the spurs as currently composed are a trash team

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Spurs were never going to win a championship with the inneficient midrange game. It is clear as day if you have seen even 1 minute of the Warriors/Rockets series.

[hater]

Little of this, little of that, some more of this

The result will be the same


A shit sandwich :lmao

[paperboy77]

+1

Pop cost us once again. The most predictable thing with all of our spurs over the years is that Pop ying instead of yang when he doesn't have to.

[John B]

The team had no fight inside. Whatever Pop told White 36 performance did not work. The kid was so confident going in. But Pop probably said something, “you don’t have to score every night.” Oh yes he did. He should’ve been closing too instead of Mills or Beli. Seriously, I want either Mills or Beli gone, please

[slick'81]

Just be glad we got two more seasons at 25 mil for wombat

[Keepin' it real]

I'm as big a spurs fan as anyone, but this team had no business getting past round 1. It's an above average team that's not very fun to watch.

Better luck next season.

Both of those things can be true. It's more a reflection of the current state of the West than anything else. Outside of the Warriors and Rockets, any of the other 6 playoff teams conceivably could have beaten each other.

No matter how much stuff broke their way though, I don't actually think this team had it in them to win 2 series.

It's more about how favorably the seeding broke their way than anything tbh. The West is so shitty outside of the Rockets and Warriors that the Spurs would have had a shot to get to the WCF had they beaten the Nuggets (only because Nurk is out).

They would have gotten their shit pushed in during the WCF though.
