i am. do you really think we are going to repeat? i mean after all this time it's going to happen now. i dunno we're due for some shitty early round exit. we had a good chance with the 2 seed but blew that. chris paul im sure is tired of getting his ass kicked by us and will have some epic series. we'll lose and tim and manu will retire and the team will never be the same. :cry:cry:cry:cry:cry
no repeat 6th seed = death
I already called it days ago
I look at this as the Rockets in 94-95. Adding Drexler late in the season like getting KL and TS back from injury. Having to go through the best record in the league to win. Spurs get their B2B this year. If not now, then for sure in 2017.
We've had periods where the TEAM ball has been as good as last year.
Can / will we do that again?
Bring on the games.
I'm scared of another phuck up MeBall bullshit series where Pock sits and stares.
I'm also hopeful he will turn in another playoff coaching job like last year. :toast
Nothing will ever top 5. Playing with house money at this point.
Not my attitude. Once you win, it's your money. #6 with a B2B coming from the 6 seed to beat GSW and Lebron once more. That would top 5 IMO.Quote:

What is with y'all? I've enjoyed all 5 and would be fine if that's it. But discounting how important 6 would be is nuts.Quote:

So Go Mavs, and go Grizz
Nobody is discounting how nice 6 would be. It's just a reality that winning it all is hard, you gotta get a lot of breaks going your way. It was great it all came together last season, especially the way it did and against the Heat and what not.Quote:

Getting your first title is important. Spurs have five fucking rings. 6 would be nice, but it's just a spoiled attitude to say it's important tbh.
I agree with all of that. But this would clearly top it IMO. This would be the toughest ring ever for them.Quote:

Everything is bonus after 5.
In retrospect, will NO be a blip or an epochal turning point?
Pretty much this. The Clippers could go 2001 Lakers on the Spurs and I wouldn't be too pissed after getting 5.Quote:

Lol never scared just didn't want to open up against the clips on the road but oh well it's playoff time
I'm scared of Pop not learning his lesson from last year regarding Marco Belineli. They were losing the series to Dallas when he was benched finally. He's awful. With Parker playing like a homeless, terrible shooting Calderon the Spurs can't afford to have Marco chasing Crawford and Redick. Losing his guy, committing dumb holding fouls, the usual Marco garbage.
Wouldn't surprise me if Pop goes to Beli in this series, looking for offense, tbh.... and practically speaking, if Beli can't outplay Hedo when the benches are playing, then it's just ridiculous...Quote:

Spurs also need to do a better job on Big Baby than they did during the regular season. With the possibility that Hack-a-Jordan might cause Doc to sit his ass out for stretches, Big Baby will get minutes, and he scored at will against us during the season.

But Big Baby?
Do you realize how talented this Clipper team is?
What was the terminology that Pop used?? "An appropriate level of fear"
If Splitter would be 100%, this would be much less of a concern, tbh... but looking at "By the numbers" article on NBA.com (http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2015/0...lippers-spurs/), this comes up when looking at matchups:Quote:

I can see Griffin going off, and Jordan will get some off of lobs and putbacks... but Davis killing us should be preventable...
ClipperRef is a concern.
Stern Jr. is proving himself to be just as incompetent/sell out as of a commissioner as Stern.
Payback to Balmer for bailing him out of a very uncomfortable situation?
Can you imagine if Donny Stern would not have been bought out by Balmer and the case continued on? With Donny Stern threatening to hire private eyes to dig up dirt on other NBA owners and commissioners office? :lmao
Along with todays nuttless NBA having such *stars* as CPFlop and Griffin needing to be *marketed*. I also see Blake Griffin is becoming more and more Kobmelike with his injury causing offensive cheapshot no call fouls. If he continues to get away with this ssshit per Stern Jr.s orders, it can change a series.
Im scared of 3 series in the West on the road more than any single playoff opponent.
Rockets have done that, Spurs can do it too
believe
one
etc
It's possible, but it's hard to forget we just won a championship under Stern Jr, eliminating in the process league darlings like Lillard, Aldrige, Durant, Westbrook, Lebron...Quote:

Yes but since we just 'Shipped, does that (in Stern Jrs. peabrain) make it all the moreso that screwing the Spurs is not an issue.Quote:

We've seen this movie plenty of times and while yes, lets just have a dominant game and take the refs out, cmon lets face it no NBA is soo much better that they can overcome an inordinate amount of riggers.
lol their defense fucking sucks
This is why I leave the conspiracy stuff to you Fabbs... I just couldn't watch a game if I think it's rigged. Over a 7 game series, I think the best team wins, except for very few exceptions (see: NBA Finals 2013).Quote:

No.
Spurs time is now.
Not in any way. I'd love them to win back to back titles but they have 5. All is well. I want Tim and Manu to go out winners and that's the only thing I'm "scared" of.Quote:

If you're scared, crawl up in the fetal position and don't post here. Don't be a pussy. It's playoff time. Extra pressure and intensity. This is what it's all about. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Stop being pussies.
spurs in 4 tbh
Get that shit tattooed to TiagoQuote:
