This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
We dominate in game 1 and win by a significant margin, then we get comfortable and shit the bed in game 2 at home. Despite a lacklustre performance from almost our entire team, we still lose by less than 1 basket (in 2014 we lost game2 by 2pts). Then the Spurs including Pop realise that we're not some invincible unbeatable juggernaut and we have to actually execute if we want to win. So we go on to completely dismantle them and take the series 4-1.
Spurs in 5 and I'll be surprised if we don't win every game by 10+ points. We've seen this series before. The Thunder are fucked, they just don't know it yet.
:flag:
P.S. Shame on all you cliffjumping faggots.

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
The Spurs didn't dominate Game 1 of the 2014 Finals, they kept turning the ball over and Miami was leading until midway through the fourth when Green got hot (:cry and so did LeBron :cry)
-
Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
I like the idea, but it's going to be hard to do without any offensive production from the guard spots, a dead-horse Tim Duncan, and a Kawhi Leonard that struggles with a double-team. The only flickering candle right now is Aldridge hitting shots. But if those shots stop falling, the Spurs are going to be in serious trouble the way they are playing.
But this has pretty much been par for the course with the Spurs of late: Regular season juggernauts that disintegrate in the playoffs. You can only get so far with a near total absence of guard play.

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
The Thunder just did this to the Mavs last round. Blow them out in game 1, lose a heartbreaker in game 2, then stomp them 3 straight times for the series win.
I don't expect that to happen right now though. I called Spurs in 7 and I'm sticking with it.

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
This is actually like the first 2 games of last year's series against the Clippers where the Cripples blewout the Spurs then lost a close game at home. The Clippers also turned the ball over at the end of Gm 2 & Patty sent it to overtime by leaking out just like he did on Monday except he didn't get fouled by Adams.
The difference being that the Spurs are in the Clippers' shoe.:lol

If this means parker is injured in game 7, but also wins the series, is that a net positive?

One key difference is that the Spurs won't choke during crunch time like the Cripples did in Gm 2/4, it's OKC that has trouble closing out games.:lol If there was a Gm 7 then WestBrick might heroball OKC out of the series like Porker did iat the end of Gm 7.

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
The biggest difference, to me at least, is you could see Miami and particularly Lebron fatigued, 3 straight finals will do that. Thunder, especially Westbrook won't tire

I expect something just like this. Game 2 loss was unfortunate, but necessary to get everybody focused, pissed off, and ready to execute and compete without mercy. :ihit

Spurs used to split the first 2 games at home regularly when Tim was on his prime, folks are making seem like some rare event.:lol
The 2007 Spurs that swept LeBron lost Gm 2 at AT&T to Melo/AI/Nene/Camby who have been reincarnated as KD/WB/Adams/Ibaka.

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
What do you expect from fans. If they don't sweep they scream doom and gloom.
Monday's game was an exciting game to watch. The end result stunk. But it is why I watch the sport to begin with. If the rest of the playoffs went like the first round with the grizzlies for the spurs that would be some awful basketball to watch. Adversity is what makes the game/sports interesting to watch. Can never understand people that live their lives through people on a tv screen.

The Nuggets also had Steve Blake who could hit open shots unlike Roberson who has been the worst offensive player in the entire 2nd rd. :lol

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again

First of all, learn some english. :lol Secondly, both teams are equally hungry, I actually would make the case the Spurs are the far hungrier team, but at minimum they are a push.

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
I get the same feeling but you just dont know, we were clearly the better team through two games but it was on our home court which has been our biggest advantage all year.

Of late???? Last year a 6th seed so hardly dominated, Wcf 2012, Finals two years in a row after, that is not too bad I would say.
Btw OP as someone said we didnt dominate game 1 2014 finals at all, pulled away really late so no comparison to the thunder game one at all.

This. How many teams would take a championship, two finals appearances, three conference finals appearances, as proof that we've been a paper tiger of late? Even our first round loss was hardly a flameout. We were injured and lost on the last play of Game 7 to a marginally better team. This year we're in the semi's, and despite the negativism on this board, are still favored 2-1 to go to the conference finals yet again. The Kawhi/Danny/Boris/Aging Big 3 Spurs have been pretty successful. Who since 2012 has been more? You could certainly argue the Heat, but they missed the playoffs last year. The Dubs are a recent phenomenon. No one else has won a title in that span.

Reality brought to you by BillMc. So many fans on this board are gonna fucking meltdown whenever this magical run ends, whether its in a year, 3 years, or another decade. We have been spoiled and some of the people on here are the most delusional retards I have ever seen.
If you told me in 2007 we would still be competing with all time great teams for championships 10 years later (still with Tim and co.) I wouldve never believed it. This is amazing.

Actually you're right. It's amazing the longevity of this run.
However, I don't think people will melt down that much once it ends.
As I said before, if the team is rebuilding everybody stops caring so much and focus on development, potential and the future.
But the Spurs have been contenders of some sort for 20 years. Fans get hopes up, then the team gets 5 titles and a bunch of disappointments due to stuff like ref crap, bad luck, injuries, or just not being good enough at the end of the day.
I'd be surprised if once this team gets into rebuilding the board continues to have so many melt downs.
On the OP, I hope that happens.

That game was absolutely nuts. I was convinced that the Spurs were going to blow that game but Green hit like 3 3 pointers and Miami could not score without Lebron and could not stop us on offense.
The next game the Spurs did blow, we missed five straight free throws late in that game

They won't tire physically but you can bet if we put the pressure on them they will tire mentally and that will break them.

2011: Spurs 1st Round, Miami Finals
2012: Spurs WCF, Miami Finals
2013: Spurs Finals, Miami Finals
2014: Spurs Finals, Miami Finals
Please explain to me how Miami was tired and we werent, considering we had an older core, and played in the West in much more physically demanding series and played a tougher regular season schedule... lmao, the tired argument for Miami falls apart as soon as you examine the facts.

It's insane to me you don't think human beings get tired. We play more guys, more team ball/few isos, constantly rest guys, and yes spurs have shown fatigue at times especially the older guys
Please don't reply, I'm not interested in more of asinine thoughts

The argument is that it is not a valid excuse to say they were tired since we had nearly identical mileage and we had basically been to 3 straight Finals to their 4. And we play in a harder conference with more physical opponents and are an older team. Meanwhile you think that one extra Finals was so draining that it caused LeCramp to go down :cry :cry

Re: This is going to be 2014 vs. the Heat all over again
This is an annoying argument and I don't wanna continue it, but I wil say l you're right it isn't an excuse, if they get tired that's their problem, have better cardio, but imo they looked and played tired

Agreed, I have no idea really what he was trying to say with that post. The Spurs have been VERY successful since 012 with this team, more so than most the teams in the league sides maybe the Heat like you said but even then the Spurs you could argue are ahead being they are still near the top and won 67 games this year. His post made no sense at all saying they dominate the regular season but flame out in the playoffs.
