Spurs: Tough break for Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs

[tlongII]

Pretty much guarantees a 1st round exit.

Dafuq? He'll be out for a month or so, he's still sitting on the bench watching the game for 's sake

Prepare for imminent Aldridge knee explosion...

[Bynumite]

Kiwi has that re strength, he will be back on the court in a couple weeks.

Great News for Tony "too scared a younger guy will on him so I'm not going to pass him the ball" parker

Too many injuries for the Spurs. They'll probably drop to the 4th seed.

Bend over, I'll drop some seed.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

well at least we'll have a solid excuse when they lose now.

Four rings, got.

true

But that doesn't mean Spurs wont get on and send home early. They will.

This Spurs team is even worst than 2011. I rather they lose to a few below .500 teams if it means beating a handful of teams that will atually be in teh damn playoffs.

This is true. You'll never see a re in the ER, but, in a buffet,,,every ing time, with the attendant bib covered in mus , or, whatever it is that's yellow in the line.

tbh no way Spurs lose to Dallas/Phoenix in the 1st round imo

Only pussies & assholes play the injury card.

HEY! You guys can do that thing downstairs that you do upstairs:::when something bad happens you say it's probably a good thing. LMAO!!!

The solution is there.

Many if not all analyst said for the spurs to compete next year, Leonard needs a larger role with larger minutes. With larger minutes, we won't need to field Belli-Tony-Manu together. Demoting green for a guy that scores 20 and gives up 20 is also pretty stupid...

But hey he's a white Italian..he's got balls..Blah blah blah BS.

Maybe Parker and Pop can acutally try it for once..You know like pass the ball to an open kawhi.

Perhaps not Phoenix but Mavs can certainly put up a real fight.

Tbh, blazerfan should probably be on his knees praying to the basketball gods that his team's injury luck will continue. If history is any indication, he'll need all the luck he can get

[Juggity]

Nah, that's just a bad take. With Splitter/Green/Kawhi healthy and playing playoff minutes, and with Tim contributing at his current level, and with RJ not on the squad this team is well above 2011 in terms of both talent and potential.

Currently it is.

Back in 2011 they actually won games that made us all think they could go all the way.

This year they're not even doing that. 1-9 against elites is just bad. Even at this point.

[Rogue]

Didn't know the playoffs would begin in only a month, thanks for the news TlongII

and also @ a blazers fan talking about 1st round exit when was the last time your team made the 2nd round? before or after George W. Bush took office?

Is that where you met Eileen?

I agree with Juggity. There's no way this Spurs team is worse than 2011. The Spurs did nothing to build on that regular season in 2011 anyway. They peaked way too early that year. They haven't reached it this year. The jury is still out on how far they will go, but I don't think the current team we are seeing is the best we will get.

[Rogue]

itdepends on matchup imho. Spurs can count on their luck to draw them Phoenix or Golden State for the first round because they know how to beat those teams, especially Phoenix, but the Mavs have never been an easy matchup to the Spurs imho. A Spurs - Mavs series would be the toughest possible match up with any lower-table playoff team tbh.

[thunderup]

yall had that injury coming

serves yall right

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

wish something actually tore in durant's arm after that salty ass manu rant at halftime and that phantom flop when duncan rejected his clean as day

[Rogue]

I'd pretty much like to see a Spurs - Mavs first round series though, if we don't draw Portland in the first round. It's gonna be great entertainment to watch the continuity of the Spurs - Mavs rivalry no matter which team ends up on the winning side.
