I Am So Proud

[DPG21920]

Defend your own words, don't twist mine.

I said I wasn't especially proud of the series, because games 3-5 were abysmal, but yes, for game six there was much busting of ass. In the end, OKC definitely had the superior talent and unfortunately this series they figured out how to really put it together.

And I think I made clear what I thought about the year in general.

How am I twisting your words, I said the same exact thing.

There is no doubt and unc is twisting words. I am saying I disagree about being proud about this series. Don't get it confused, I am proud of their season and I enjoyed this very much. But I am not proud of them this series. You know what, I bet more of the players agree with what I am saying than what Timvp is saying. Because they know they didn't play their best or hardest and just get beat by a team where their best wasn't good enough.

The Spurs best was clearly good enough to not lose 4 straight. Those who disagree with that are lying to themselves IMO because its tough to admit that.

Doesn't mean it was not a great season overall, but we are analysing this series.

Im not proud for this serie but Im not mad. I would be mad if I had the feeling the players all of them or at least most of them gave everything they have on the floor. I mean you can be disappointed by TP decision making during this serie but dude harassed like crazy Russel the whole serie... idem for Jax, Manu, Tim, Boris, Leonard... you cannot be mad at that.

We tend to forget we went in this PO with one unique player in his prime TP in the game but not athletically tbh. Leonard is a rookie, Tim, Manu, Diaw, Jax... all passed their prime a long time ago. What other team could have achieved what they achieved ? Boston is a good example but the eastern conference is trash

[jag]

So you feel they competed in game 3? You felt they were competing when Timvp was being emotional and starting "the spurs are sulking in the wcf" threads?

You thought they competed in the first half of game 5?

Do you think the Spurs played their ball, their best game and that just wasn't good enough?

Do you think the Spurs are a better team than the Thunder?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'm actually pretty damn proud of those guys. I'm way better ending the season this way, had we lost it in the fashion of our last 3. A way longer ride than what I expected.

[Capt Bringdown]

Has any other team gone 20-4 to end the season?
Astonishing.

I could see losing this series, but losing 4 straight games?
That's more than a loss - That's a choke.

dpg can never just admit he was wrong, he's alwasy got to try to rationalize it somehow.

rather than just admit that he was wrong and the spurs were never good enough to go all the way all along (as many people tried to point out), he's got to try to rationalize it with "the spurs just choked!"

man up bro

The 2011-2012 San Antonio Spurs gave it all they had. They played with every ounce of their souls in this Game 6. It was their best game of the series and one of their best games of the season. Unfortunately, the Spurs just didn't have enough. Our Spurs didn't lose it; the Thunder went out and won the game.

If you said the same thing I did, then you said the same thing timvp did, so what the are you arguing about?

Answer my questions without being emotional, and I will answer yours.

Man, It's really hard to let go especially that this can be the last run in the big 3 era.

It is what it is.. The Duncan Spurs are one of the best NBA teams of all time when you look at the years and number of wins in the reg season and championships... Highest winning % of anyone since Duncan was drafted in any sport.. 4 championships in 4 finals.. It was a great run..

He gets emotional after losses like this and starts acting like a . He did it last year after the sweep to the Grizz. Their team was straight-up better than last year's Spurs team, especially with a hobbled Manu, but he spent days trying to convince everyone that the Spurs "choked". He actually used that very same word.

It's what he does.

[DPG21920]

If you said the same thing I did, then you said the same thing timvp did, so what the are you arguing about?

I said I wasn't proud of the series - like you. I said I was proud of their overall season, like you and timvp. The disagreement came from the overall statement that the Spurs competed all series and the the Thunder just turned it on and we should be proud about the series.

Jag with the subtle goods.

[DatBoyGood]

Looks like green will be a spur next season! By how it tweet sounded.."doesnt plan on going anywhere until they achieve it"

[jag]

Just say "no." Then I'll tell you how illogical it is for you to say a team "choked" by losing to a better team.

It is



And hard to believe ppl are satisfied about it. More then that - they are proud
Being favorites and being swept from behind, with no injuries. That's a historical collapse. Again for the spurs.

And you can challange their mentality of winners. Their heart.

TP losing himself again. etc etc




I will always be a spur but, no losing makes me proud.
NONE

[DPG21920]

So you are just trolling I knew it.

[ShoogarBear]

Who said that the Spurs competed all series?

[polandprzem]

btw. How come spurs fans can say Dallas are/were chokers?

[jag]

So you are just trolling I knew it.

no

The Thunder are a great, great team. One of the best teams I've ever seen the Spurs play. Perhaps they performed over their heads -- only time can tell that tale -- but if they didn't, that is a team that will win multiple championships. Congrats to you, Oklahoma City.

But I'm so god damn proud of the Spurs. You gave it everything you had. As a fan, that's all I can ever ask for.

Thank you Spurs for a wonderful season. Thank you SpursTalk for making this an even more memorable ride. It was fun. I'm sorry this road didn't reach the ultimate destination.

But I'm so very proud.

I feel the same way in the end there can only be one champion our guys had a uva year I honestly feel that the spurs and the thunder were the best tems left in the final four.
GO SPURS GO

[jag]

Please say the Spurs "choked" again.

[mavs>spurs]

it isn't that the spurs choked, myself and others pointed out a long time ago that they weren't strong enough to win it all. they just came back down to earth when faced with a tough opponent. no trolling, just the truth.

[all_heart]

Spurs played hard, but just lost to a better team. Those shots OKC made like Harden and Fischer.. those are daggers and championship teams make em'. Hats off to them. There is always next year!

[tesseractive]

I'm proud as of Tony and the rest of this team. They played great ball all season. Durant and the Thunder recognized they were a dynasty about 2 games too early for the Spurs to advance.

Tough loss man.

Well said.

And well said OP by LJ.

It was a of a ride, and I'm glad I got to see it. Going down fighting seems utterly apropos for a team from the Alamo City.

Cheers to everyone involved.
