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

Lol at arguing human beings don't tire and thinking you've proved your point. You've succeeded in showing you're not trolling, just really stupid
Congrats!

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

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.

We shot like absolute garbage from the FT line tonight. We're winning the next 2 by 10+ each. Book it.

GM 2 it was missed layups, tonight it was missed FTs. The difference was the missed FTs didn't lead to transition points.

Looks like I was wrong. This is 2014 first-round vs. Dallas, not 2014 vs. Heat.

EDIT: inb4 someone tells me this is 2016 second-round vs. OKC.

To answer the op, no, it's not anything like 2014. People around here just love jumping the gun for some reason.
