whatever it is this "fluke" shooting is gonna get our asses sent home real soon. no way we get out of oracle alive.
Spurs missing open shots, what can be said? That's two games where the Spurs couldn't make the shots they usually make. Is Leonard's back bothering him? Because he can't make a three to save his life. I will say this though, when Klay Thompson makes 8 threes, and the Spurs as a team make 5, you know you're witnessing a fluke.

neither.
close series and up for either team. Enjoy watching it and stop crying like es
Not fluky when you continue to do what you always do IMO. Spurs look out of gas right now and by all accounts have been completely outclassed and are extremely lucky to not be down 0-2. Good news is they lucked out a win so there is still time to right the ship, but they look about 2 steps slower, less hungry and in all honesty they are being exposed overall defensively.
Spurs, especially Tony, look tired as .
This is reminding me of the Suns series back in 2010. Spurs can't get swept this year, but the Suns were on fire that year against us.
Spurs can't win if they miss FT's and at the 3 point line, we played good D in the 2nd half.
yeah i get serious dragic vibes when klay and steph get going
Not flukey to hit wide open threes. Every team has an off night, and every player gets hot; Curry was off tonight as well. The Spurs beat the Lakers like a drum, but that did not prepare the Spurs for the real playoffs; the Bobcats would have beaten the Lakers in a series. I am noticing a pattern, and this is not good. I hate this, because the Heat are just going to cruise to the championship.
Looks a lot like how the Spurs played the last month of the season.
I'm stating a fact, Klay Thompson shooting 8-9 and Spurs shooting 5-21 from three is crazy and shouldn't happen. I think the Spurs somehow are tired, maybe there are lingering injuries, but this is not the Spurs team we have seen earlier in the season that crushed the Clippers in LA.
Spurs just suck tbh
Those two are WAAAY better than Dragic.
Spurs looked like the Celtics & Lakers combined tbh
i guess i just mean the helplessness of that series
GS packing in their defense and inviting the Spurs to get into a jump shooting contest.
If the Spurs can't somehow change that dynamic, either offensively or defensively -- then they lose to the better shooting team.
Nah, we will start to hit our shots, it's an ebb and flow guys. We'll hit our FT's and our 3's and open shots, just played like we were tired and going through the motion. GS is a younger team and they don't give a .
I got the feeling the Spurs were tired in game 1, but game 2 there's not much of an excuse for that anymore.
As for GS being flukey, YES that's definitely the case. Curry was nailing 30+ foot threes at a 100% rate in game 1, and Thompson was hitting leaning fadeaway threes at a near 100% rate in game 2. I'm sorry, but that is absolutely flukey. Spurs needed to play better D' on him, but he also hit a lot more shots than he should have. It happens sometimes, but over the course of a series it won't keep happening.
Bottom line, yeah the Warriors are hitting threes at a much higher rate than they normally do (combination of luck and bad defense), but the Spurs simply need to play better period. I have confidence the Spurs can go into Cali and take both games, but multiple Spurs need to play better. Tony and Timmy can't do it all.
their defense is not a fluke, as i said before. With that said we still had enough looks to score more than we did tonight
bogut is for real clogging the paint, and thompson can slow down parker enough that theyre gonna be in every game
i just cant believe for 2 games in a row, they shot out of their mind, it was curry in game 1, and thompson game 2
Ridiculous. GSW is gonna be in the Finals if they keep playing this well. IF the spurs lose this series, you just know GSW are gonna come down to earth in WCF
Winning in golden state is gonna be almost impossible but not quite. GSG
I'm expecting a huge sense of urgency from the Spurs on Friday. I'm nowhere close to giving up, if Spurs lose both games in Golden State, then I'll be worried.
We're an older team.. We'll burn out before GS does. TD could still be feeling effects of the flu, and Splitter isn't 100%. Something is obviously wrong with Diaw, and Ginobili doesn't have much left to be a consistent threat. We're falling apart and our younger players need to step up.
It's pretty obvious they're out of gas. This is the same team we saw in March/April
Spurs looked dominant in the reg season until those last few weeks. Everything dipped - SRS, player production, offensive efficiency, defense. The teams we were regularly blowing out were beating us (Suns, Rockets) and we lost nearly every close game.
We need Kawhi! He's been off, but the Spurs need to force him to become a weapon, and the big three need to defer to him sometimes. I don't care if he isn't ready or needs another off-season, Spurs don't have time, if they want to win the Finals this year, then they need Kawhi Leonard to be a star. I know the chances are small, but unfortunately it's what the Spurs need. Cory Joseph also needs to be a bigger threat, and Danny Green needs to learn how to play within the three point line.
This is exactly what I'm thinking. Trade jump shots -- they win. They won't spread out until they respect our perimeter game -- which, clearly they don't.
